The devil has no power to tempt those who keep themselves pure through Christ. 1 John 5:18 18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Our own desires. James 1:13-14 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

I appreciate this. God's Word read out loud absolutely has power over the enemy!

Actually, we ought to stop sinning if were in Christ. You've taken 1 John 1:8 to mean we all sin all the time. Thats not what it means. Two verses under that in 1 John 2:1, it says 2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate...

We are under the law of Christ. We are to live righteously and love one another. That's what He commanded. I agree that we're not under the law of Moses.

I think too much stuff definitely is not worth having. I wouldn't want my junk to vecome anyone else's problem.

Honestly? None. Focus on getting your Christianity from Jesus and the disciples through the New Testament. Read the bible in context and try to find a church or fellowship that is following that example. Don't let the churches try to define your Christianity and then read the Bible. I would...

If you struggle with any sin, I do recommend hearing Scripture read out loud or reading it out loud (Romans 10:17). Im not about controlling people so you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. However, Satan isn't the one Im targetting. Its anyone who wants to overcome temptations of...

Thank you. This is helpful for another discussion I was having on Discord.

Agree. We're still under the law of Christ. We need to live righteously and love one another like He taught.

You could always try the method I mentioned. Its free. Lol

Those were just the three books suggested. But having read them each out loud, I have to say they are chock full of verses on righteous living. Great for overcoming temptation.

True, although literature can be porn and that's what got me started. I have stopped looking at it and want to stay that way for good. So no, I don't want anything to do with it. I thought that was clear in the post I made. Edit: Sorry for my tone, I feel like I misread your intentions with...

So recently, my favorite bible teacher suggested to read the Scriptures out loud to overcome sin. Especially James, 1 John, and 1 Peter. I wanted to see if it worked. And at first, I still struggled. But now for about a week and a half Ive been able to overcome my temptation to look at...
