Because only by the Spirit (God is light, 1 John 1:5) can we understand spiritual things. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16. Those in the dark call the light "foolishness."

No, not that low. We will be like Jesus. 1 John 3:1-3 Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, in our New Covenant we can. God even calls us children of God in 1 John 3:1-3, so sons of God is appropriate for all who will be with the angels in heaven with God forever. We even can do divine things such as heal the sick, cast out demons and even raise the dead. Also, ever since Jesus...

Scripture only calls angels "sons of God." And that includes both the original angels and the fallen angels per Job 1 and 1 Kings 22:19-23

I thought about this and decided that God showed us love even further back by creating us with free will. That started the wheels rolling for the final overcomers that love God with ALL their hearts to live and reign with Him in heavenly places forever.

Yes, God wanted eternal fellowship, so He created man in His Image with free will. He also created the angels with free will. Because He knew good from evil already, He also created a testing tree. Why? So man and angels would fall? No! He looked forward to when all who were left were...

This is better than Randy's statement, but doesn't quite hit the mark. To make your election sure, you must put down sin now before we die. To say we can't is the defeatism of the devil and his lie, and not scriptural. Jesus not only took away our sin nature and sins of lawlessness, but gave us...

That didn't answer my question, nor made sense. You're the one who seems clueless. LOL

That is not true. Don't you know what being born again frees us from? Answer this. Why did Jesus come regarding the name of this OP?

John does too, even after our sin has been cleansed and taken away. What is left are misdemeanors from immature fruit (1 John 5:16-17 sins not unto death), so we MUST grow in the Spirit and follow the steps of 2 Peter 1:5-7. 1 John 3:1-3 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us...

I agree. The angels were created immortal as was man (unable to die) until man fell and became mortal (able to die). Jesus came to undo sin, and taking sin out of the born again, literally destroying the works of the devil in them. 1 John 5:18. Hell was created by God for the devil and his...

The mind and conscience (spirit and soul) are invisible, but real. They are born again now, and when the body dies, the spirit and soul of the reborn return to the Father awaiting the resurrection when they will be rejoined with their new incorruptible body that has become immortal also. When...

Yes, and that is why 1 John 1:10 refutes that no one is born without ever sinning as is claimed in that verse. But all three verses of those in darkness, verses 6, 8 and 10 are before Christ and before confession of our sin which is our inability by ourselves to be totally righteous as we must...

The most common scripture in the world answers your question. John 3:16

Yes, but some "believe" in the wrong way and use grace as a covering for sinning. Those who actually believe, do so by first repenting of their sin to receive Christ's powerful Spirit to free us from the desire to sin.

All? Who said all? All what? All people? Even all unbelieving sinners?

You misread my post. Go back and see that only our spirit and soul are born again NOW and has put on immortality. Not our body. It must still die, and then be resurrected for that to happen to it also.

Your statement is the opposite of the meaning of 2 Corinthians 5:15. Sin is always held against a person if committed willfully. We then don't belong to Jesus, but to the devil. Romans 6:15-16. That statement was from King David AFTER he confessed his sin and was forgiven. That confessed sin...

Without the Spirit of Christ we don't even belong to Christ. Romans 8:9. And the Holy Spirit plants the fruit of the Spirit in us, so maturing them is how we grow. Peter said it best, and verses 5-7 should be memorized and preached by every denomination if we really want to go to heaven. Read...

I do all the time. You must have me on ignore.
