Finally, someone who understands.

One thing I've never heard on the radio from preachers about being born again is that the desire to commit lawless sin is gone. It is more than just Scripture telling us we are free from sin, and that we are to reckon ourselves free from sin. Paul said that because "whatsoever a man thinks in...

Are you aware that when Jesus takes away our sin (1 John 3:5), He also removes the desire to commit them. It is the power of God, not by ourselves with our own willpower. No, God changes our very nature Paul called the old man Romans 6:5-7. That, my friend, is real freedom from sin.

The Law is still in effect for SINNERS. But for the born again, they become born again by having the sin removed from their nature so God can write His laws on their heart as part of the New Covenant. Then we must walk in the Spirit.

We are freed from the NEED for the law, because the law is now our nature to obey naturally. That is why we are a "new creature." All creatures do what comes naturally. You see, the Jews had the law, but they had to keep it with a sin nature that was fighting against written laws in their mind...

1 Thess. 5:23 23 "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Just as we are made in the image of God, we also are a triune being. Not three persons, but three unique parts...

Read 1 John 3. It is the chapter on the type of sin that can qualify us for death. Vs. 4 sin in lawlessness. This is the type of sin that is taken out of our nature to qualify us for eternal life, the opposite of death and makes us righteous, vs 7. Vs. 9 says we cannot commit this type of sin...

That is the reason for Paul writing 5-6 first so someone would not jump to your conclusion. How soon some forget the context. If we are born again, what is it that is reborn? Where is the desire to sin removed from? Is there any desire to sin left?

Context is what I was trying to explain to you. You still do not understand that verse 25 is still someone in the flesh, meaning they still have their sin nature. The born again do not have a sin nature any longer. That is the reason for being born again in the first place. Do you really believe...

No, verse 25 is the last verse of Paul talking about the law vs. the sin nature 14-23,25. Verse 24 is slipped in as a preview of chapter 8 where we are no longer in the sin nature, the same as what Romans 7:5-6 was saying after chapter 6 that shows the death of sin in our nature, making us free...

I have never heard any such doctrine in my life. Is that from a denomination? Which one, or did you make that up yourself? Romans 7:25 is the last line in Paul's teaching on the Law of Moses in the mind against the sinful nature of the flesh. As I told you, Romans 7:5-6 already shows you 14-25...

You are reading Romans 7:14-25 out of context. Those verses shows someone in the flesh and under the law, right? Then why does Romans 7:5-6 put being in the flesh in the PAST, not present. Also the law is to be kept by the Spirit not by the flesh. You are also reading Paul's claim to be the...

Jesus did preach to them, but not for their salvation. That would not be fair to all the wicked that came after them.

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’

When do you think Jesus did this: 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient...

Good point, Behold.

Rome ruled the whole world until it fell. Never again has there been a world ruling nation. Some countries are weak, and some like iron like the United States and England. And the world will stay separated until the second coming. After 1000 years the earth will be destroyed and there will again...

Yes, you are right. Peter even denied knowing Him 3 times. The only person that seemed to know the truth was the thief on the cross! And pastors everywhere use the thief as an example against baptism. That thief had already become a believer and thus baptized and grasped more of what Jesus meant...

Jesus corrected him when he said it. Isn't that a given???

Fine. It is my post.
