No, Jesus was more. His nature while on earth was the same as our more powerful nature once we are born again. Jesus NEVER had a sin nature. It all comes down to the seed of the Father. 1 John 3:9. The same seed that makes us born again, Jesus was conceived with! Understand? That freed us from...

Some are bringing your statements to my attention. I want to ask you something. If Jesus was so prone to sin as we are how can we do all things through Christ? If Christ had no advantage how could He help us do all things? You're not making sense. I hope you read my other post to you. The reason...

Don't forget what the book of Galatians is all about. It is about the Judaizers (Christian Jews) telling the Galatians that they must obey the laws of Moses and circumcision to actually be saved. Paul is telling the Galatians to not go back to the Law but to continue in the Spirit. Rich, to...

tempted just means tested. Jesus always passed the test, and so can we because God always provides a way of escape.

You are right to compare our nature with the nature of Jesus, and, yes, it is because of the seed of Abraham which is Jesus, but more importantly the seed of God that Jesus was conceived with, and we were born again with. 1 John 3:9 means Jesus never sinned. Jesus was born with the same nature...

and @Blue Dragonfly's Maybe this is what you found. I know I was shocked by this verse some 40 years ago and I even wrote in my Bible next to it "Jesus is God!" I hadn't known that until then. Titus 1:3-4 3 but has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which was committed to me...

No, not his body, but his nature. Under the old covenant, they memorized all these laws and had them in their mind. But even with the laws in their mind, their nature/carnal flesh still wanted to sin. Paul is telling us what it was like under the law. That is chapter 7 of an 8 chapter teaching...

I'll tell you the first ones. "YOU LOOK TO MAN FOR YOUR LOVE I WANT TO BE YOUR LOVE YOU LOOK TO MAN FOR YOUR SECURITY I WANT TO BE YOUR SECURITY (PRIVATE)

I'm 75. 45 years ago I had been going to church for 30 years, and still willfully sinned. In fact, at the end of those 30 years I was in a relationship with a married man and did not want to quit. Not one prayer was ever answered. My keys or wallet stayed lost. I had no divine protection (which...

We still have free will. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to...

Again: "You make this statement without the scriptures. You must know them by heart, so I'm not going to hunt for them through 19 pages..."

You are speaking in human terms, not spiritual terms. You must be filled with the Spirit in order to understand the things of the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for...

Jesus takes away all of our sin, including the sin nature; otherwise we couldn't partake of the divine nature. Your question is then why do Christians sin? They don't know their own responsibility, and for some reason have taken into themselves a very apathetic view of sin from very bad teachers...

I use "flesh" as Paul and Peter uses it - our nature. Sin is not in our body. Our body is just a puppet controlled by our nature - our mind and emotions: our spirit and soul. Those have been made immortal. Our body must still die and also be resurrected to be immortal. Romans 8:10. But we are...

Jesus was without sin. "Condemned" is the same as "crucified," and Romans 6:6-7 shows that it is the sin in our flesh that was condemned and taken away, and we were crucified with Christ and we are reborn of the Spirit by His resurrection so that we can walk in the Spirit. We don't need the...

Good night, all

Are you ignoring me? LOL

I'm late to the party. What was your question Aussie. I've already posted #305 and #324. They may have answered it already.

I see the only thing left to restore is our body - Romans 8:10. But it doesn't make us sin; only our nature makes the body sin like its puppeteer. In the New Covenant the laws of God are written on our heart. The heart is our soul and conscience. Just by obeying our conscience we are accepted by...

I would call the "divine exchange" is taking us from our sin nature, the old man of sin to the divine nature of God. We were sinners, and Jesus exchanges our sin to freedom from sin, without which we cannot be righteous. Our recreated nature free from sin is now a divine nature of God worthy to...
