Please don't leave. Im still not over Truman's absence. If you left, Id definitely notice your absence. The forum would be less friendly.

I don't know anyone who claims this. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Only Jesus lived an entirely sinless life. I do believe that we can and ought to learn to not sin as we walk with the Lord. In 1 John it also says My little children, these things I write to you, so...

Praying now.

I love you, Lamb. Gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit that we should always keep.

Paul was not speaking about being alive in Christ in that sentence. He was speaking about being alive before he heard the commandments of the law of Moses and became a Pharisee. Romans 7:9 9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. Romans 7 is...

If you've been a Christian for very long, you can think back to the time when you first accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. I was in high school when I found Jesus and I remember all I wanted to do was love on people and help others. I wanted to give up my lunch to feed other students. I...

I don't beat myself up either. Not anymore. It does no good. If I sin, I confess it and move on. What I can't agree with is the idea that obedience to God is putting confidence in the flesh. We have to trust God to and rely on His Spirit to be obedient.

The Bible doesn't say that the ability not to sin is a gift given at random times. It's something all believers have. But if we don't believe we can stop sinning, then we wont. Which particular sin is so strong that Jesus can't bring you out of? You can't use Romans 7 to say that all...

Have enjoyed and watched almost all of Allan Ballou's videos. I have started reading the Bible out loud. Praise God!

Hello friend, We get old. We might spill some milk. But when we become believers, we don't have to be moral failures anymore. I hear this a lot. Maybe you could tell me exactly what this means, in your own words. Im assuming you mean, don't put any confidence in your ability to stop...

I want to answer this question with only Scripture. 1 Peter 4:1-3 Therefore, since Christ suffered [a]for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for...

Good point.

Yes, how dare you give my Amen post a like!! ;):D

Do you mean 1 John 1:8? If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. No one should claim that we have never sinned. But consider this. Jesus' blood is a propitiation for our past sins. Romans 3:25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood...

Amen!

True It depends on what you mean. Running a race is biblical. Its what we are called to do. We will always have imperfect thoughts coming at us. But just having a bad thought enter your mind isn't sin. You take it captive and make it obedient to Christ. But I believe we are to strive to stop...

If I partner with the Holy Spirit, yes. I remember murdering my mother in law in my heart. Guilty back then for sure. But I need not continue in that. Jesus says we must love one another. Its not optional. Grace teaches us to deny ungodliness Titus 2:11-12.

Ive heard this said a lot. And I get why people say it. But a lot of what we hear doesn't line up with the Bible. James 2:24 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Maybe. Unless they are simply quoting 1 John 1:9 9 Whoever has been born of God does not...

I hope Im explaining myself clearly but I have room to grow in that. The Bible never says when it comes to salvation that you either trust fully in Jesus and are correct or trust in yourself and are incorrect. We partner with God. He provides us a way of escape through temptation, but we...

What verses do you find it in?
