This is good except God does accept people in the weakness of their flesh....He's just not PLEASED with them. Without faith (real faith) it is impossible to PLEASE God. Otherwise how could He justify the ungodly? He gives grace to the humble.

What laws? We are always subject to the laws of God....as in the 10 commandments. Judaism laws are not for the believer in Christ...kosher eating, circumcision etc... This is not about what you believe to be true about yourself. This is about power from heaven to walk as Jesus walked...above...

Maybe you need to learn to ask better questions...ones that line up with the truth. We waste a lot of time trying to filter the truth through our limited minds.

There are three kinds of sin as per the bible. Chata-ah, Pesha, and avon. To sin means to miss the mark. (Chata-ah) Sinners then are those whose aim is untrue. They mean well enough but are unable to hit the mark due to the weakness of the flesh. There are the sins of the flesh...with its love...

Amen. However there is a lower walk for genuine believers. False converts are not in any walk with Christ. These walk in the futility of their own minds...with whatever religious slogans they have adopted for themselves. The difference is that in the lower walk we still sin at times. Do we walk...

I don't think you are understanding what Peter wrote. He admits that some things are hard to understand. Like the multitude of ways he uses the word"law". Unless you think Peter is foolish and that you have a better understanding than he does.

“As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” 2 Pet. 3:16 Could it be that the unlearned or unstable can't see...

A believer is such by having faith in God...not just agree to a religious scheme or assent to some religious dogma. Many will claim to be believers but also many will be rejected on that day. Many will say Lord, Lord and be rejected. That should cause fear in the people who are honest. It causes...

Ah yes!, the training of a saint. Wesley remarked that he knew a man who lost and regained holiness 5 times before he learned how to keep it. :)

Only if you are still claiming to be walking in the Spirit when you are not. Running out of bullets causes most people to put the gun down. But in today's religious environment people are conditioned to pretend they are firing real bullets while unloaded. I'm using a kind of imagery that is not...

I realize that many will find my post offensive to their sensibilities. As in...how dare I consider that most of us, if not all, are only walking in the "lower walk" of faith....the faith of humans. This will strike many as being offensive. However, we have God to consider. Can we stand up to...

Hey Azim. Good to hear your comments. :) What makes this so difficult to convey to others...without always assuming that we are always to be sinners in this world....is that there are two levels of walk. When I hear so many deny this....I know they have not experienced the higher walk. It's like...

That is...until one is crucified to be joined with Christ in His resurrection life. There is a full victory in the higher walk. We can learn and improve...and become more and more surrendered to Christ. But we will never walk as He walked until we go to the throne of grace for the full measure...

Jesus said that out of our bellies would flow rivers of living water. Like a cup that has a hidden source that causes it to overflow... the continuous outpouring overflows to those around us. Can any impurities be added to such a cup? Doesn't a river take away any impurities we throw into it as...

Amen Azim. Yes, the deeper walk is to be immersed in the Spirit...totally immersed in His eternal embrace. The keeping power of God I liken to a fridge magnet. As long as we don't let the world and the cares of the world come between us and the Lord the "magnetic force" of God's Spirit at that...

There is no sin possible in the Spirit. You have probably bought into the sinful holiness ploy that so many teach these days. Yes, walking in the Spirit is the higher walk...walking in the light as He is in the light. Abiding in Christ...in Him is no sin. Yes...for two extended periods. The...

This is great except the transforming of life is progressive maturity...or progressive righteousness.

We have access into the kingdom realm...not a guarantee. Most have no idea about what the gospel is about...thinking it is a way to save the flesh and sinful humanity IN their sins. Ephesians 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Ephesians 2:18 For...

This idea of a "greater sanctification" comes from an errant understanding of holiness. One does not become MORE holy or less holy. One is either holy or not. It's like being pregnant. No one becomes half-pregnant. That should be obvious. There is no sinful holiness. What I see is that the...

"For thus says the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek me, and you shall live:" Amos 5:4 Live how? It means to discover an eternal kind of life. Jesus said to seek, ask, and knock. And we are to seek first the kingdom of God. Without that seeking....earnest seeking , we will never know what...
