context! context! context! Do you not know that verse 17 is in the middle of what Paul shows as what mankind's life was like before Christ when for 1,500 years or so they lived under the law where their sacrifices could only cover sin, but not take it away? Romans 7:14-25 shows in verse 24...

"Cannot sin" means you have no desire to sin. John said in 1 John 3:4-5 that the type of sin that chapter 3 is about is "lawlessness" vs. 4, and vs. 5 says Jesus takes away that sin from our nature, thus the reason why vs. 9 says we cannot sin, because the commotion it would cause in our...

Scripture teaches that if we repent and are filled with the Spirit we cannot sin against a commandment of God. That is when Jesus has taken away our lawless sin out of our nature and we have no desire to break a commandment. 1 John 3. This particular cleansing is only done once for sins unto...

Scripture says we can. It is up to us. We must be born again of the Spirit AND keep abiding in Him. Peter says, 20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter...

The verse gives the commentary. 1. born again because he is walking in the Spirit/Light. 2. Jesus cleanses them of all sin. Is this where Martin Luther did not distinguish between sins unto death, and sins not unto death that you went "WOW" over and agreed when it even came to sins unto death. 1...

I used your first post above as the context. Your own words. Maybe you just forgot what you wrote.

Yes, but which type? Do you know there are two? "Sin is sin" is not scriptural.

Isn't 1 John 1:7 what Martin Luther was agreeing to, but for both levels of sin, same as you did in #56, not just the unintentional trespasses John was actually speaking of? Murder and Adultery are both mortal sins, not venial sins. Mortal sins are what 1 John 3:9 is speaking of per vs. 4, not...

Your heart when born again of the Spirit no longer commits those sins of the mind, for we are given the mind of Christ.

Yes, exactly. This knowledge was the one doctrine of the Catholic Church that the Reformationists did not bring forward as Jesus commanded in Rev. 3:1-3 (Sardis is the period of the Reformation) ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that...

It had to do with believing that instead of the Trinity being three separate persons, he believed in one Triune God, Jesus who could manifest as the Father, or the Spirit or as Jesus. Like Paul explained in Colossians 2:9, For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

Like this? 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

I'm sure you are speaking for yourself... 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 7...

Martin Luther "Sin boldly"): "If you are a preacher of mercy, do not preach an imaginary but the true mercy. If the mercy is true, you must therefore bear the true, not an imaginary sin. God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let...

The Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. Luther and Calvin's doctrines were doctrines of demons. Jesus said or them in Revelation 3:1, "you have a name (reputation) that you are alive, but you are dead." Whose doctrines cause death? Demons, that's who.

Again, you don't read. I don't call people on this forum heretics. But I do call some church fathers heretics, like Martin Luther and John Calvin. They didn't have the Holy Spirit. Certainly not when Calvin murdered a man for disagreeing with his heretical new doctrine, nor Luther when he wrote...

It is heresy when the clear misinterpretation causes absolute doctrines of demons that can send a person to hell. I see you couldn't follow the three historical eras in Romans 7 as you still think Paul had problems with sin. If you can read English, you can find out for yourself, but you would...

It was not an intentional sin of pleasure. AoG do you know there are 2 types of sin, or have you been taught the heresy of "sin is sin." If you have you won't understand that for 3,500 years God sees two types. BTW why did you disagree that Romans 8:2 frees us from Romans 7:14-25? Also, do you...

We westerners read the New Testament with a western mindset. But the apostles were Middle Eastern and wrote with an eastern mindset, thus the various Semitic writing styles. 1 John shows one of those styles Semitic writing style of synonymous parallels of contrasts. By the way, don't get...

Context means "keep reading." Who is Paul speaking of in Romans 8:2? It means He's received Christ and the Spirit has freed him of both sin and the law. In other words, Romans 8 has freed Paul of Romans 8:14-25 where you are quoting from. The reason you are messing up the interpretation is...
