Matthew, we actually have a spirit, soul and body. Don't use your own reasoning; use Scripture. You'll make less mistakes in the long-run. Scripture is our foundation. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be...

How long is it? I may take a listen if its short.

I don't know what has been going on in this thread, but I have a question for the OP poster to see after all these pages what he believes now. Matthew, do you believe a born again Christian retains their sin nature?

I love you more!! I'm not obstinate. You're the one thinking it okay to not study to show yourself approved. Now THAT'S obstinance. 1 John 1:8 and 9 are to be read together. The unsaved who believe just keeping the law makes them righteous must still repent. Acts 2:38. And you want to use verse...

I see you still like to take scripture out of context. Romans 7:20-25 is referring to those under the law of Moses, like Paul used to be as a Pharisee. In fact, from 14 - 25 is talking about the Jews before Jesus. Read verses 5-13 to see the beginning and see the difference between the LAW and...

You go against your conscience, but don't feel guilt? How? What makes you use 1 John 1:9 if you don't feel any guilt? Why did you go against your conscience in the first place? Don't you know that going against your conscience is willful sin? That's not walking in the Spirit. There are...

Rich, do you sometimes go against your conscience and against what it is telling you to do and live with feeling guilty; or do you do what your conscience tells you and feel no guilt?

My body must die because of Adam's sin, but it by itself does not produce sin - never has. Our nature is what produces sin and mine has been born again. Just like the Father and Holy Spirit, my mind and conscience are invisible, but very much real, regenerated and are immortal. They are my...

Because it was quoted by a very early church father, I'll accept it as fact. You can have the deleted version if you wish, but there was an agenda...

1 John 5:7 There are three that bear witness in heaven: The Father, The Word and the Holy Spirit. And these three are one," meaning one God. Just like I am one human being with three distinct parts. A body, a mind and a conscience/heart/emotions. Those three make me. If any one of those was...

How can 1 John 3:9 be true if you still have your sin nature? How can you be free from sin and still have a sin nature? Romans 6:6-7. This is why Jesus said we MUST be born again. Romans 8:9 shows that if you have the Spirit you don't have the sin nature. You are no longer in the flesh/sin...

Just curious, seeing as we are dead to sin, why would you argue that you sin if you indeed are born again. Do you know what born again means? Romans 6:6-7 shows you, so why is it a lie to say you are free from sin? Verse 1 John 1:9 goes WITH verse 8 in order to not be a liar. But you and Carl...

I don't know if you are or not; I just know you are not willing to test yourself, if fact, you still believe to be partial to sin. I went to church for 30 years before becoming born again, so I know that not everyone who SAYS they are a Christian actually are. So if you don't care, then I'll let...

Amen, sis!

That's what I was afraid of. When you become born again you will know the difference. It is a supernatural experience that unmistakably removes your sin nature. Until then you will believe you are a sinner because you will be. When you're not, you'll know it, and it won't be a lie, because Jesus...

Okay so tell me now what your belief is of 1 John 1:6, 8 and 10

The apostles are from the East and are Hebrews. They write with a Semitic writing styles. One of these styles is contrasts. 1 John 3 goes back and forth between Jesus and the devil. So does chapter one in verses 5 through 10. Verses 5, 7 and 9 are LIGHT; 6, 8 and 10 are DARKNESS. With your...

My big concern is what you and Carl are teaching because your lack of understanding the writing of eastern apostles. You have a western mind and don't understand what they MEAN.

There are two types of sins. 1 John 5:16-17 16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. 17 All...
