    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Do I seem eternally hateful, or gratefully dead to you? Or does that describe those here who espouse a counterfeit gospel that supports the ego? A chaos of belief. The anti-Christ will appear Christian on the outside...appealing to the aspirations of the selfish outer man. There is no fear of...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    I never said that. I said that the holiness penalties of sickness and death for NOT discerning the Body only happens when there is holiness present in the people. That's why it's important to "discern" the Body. People are SO used to shallow religion they wouldn't know holiness if it came up...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    ...only to the carnal. But to those who have faith...it is a glorious blessing. Religion prefers you to be isolated, brainwashed, in an echo chamber of mindless agreement and constant authoritarian rule. Religion loves control and hates authenticity, questions, uncertainty, vulnerability...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    This is Catholic dogma...not the truth of the matter. You make this sound "New Age." We do not apply any sacrifice to ourselves. Jesus Christ is the lamb of God...not our Lamb. We do no applying His sacrifice to ourselves. That is self-righteousness at work. So then it sounds like your...

    big·ot noun noun: bigot; plural noun: bigots a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group. "don't let a few...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    You are completely wrong and very confused. In your religious bigotry you prefer war, hate, and violence to peace, I bet you miss the days of the crusades where people of other religions got to kill each other in the name of God. But Jesus said...blessed are the peacemakers...love your enemies...

    Is Jordan Peterson Taking the Proper Steps toward Eternal Life?

    Mr. Peterson has more than one direction/function. Maybe you are getting too drawn in to the political arena?

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Maybe when you were younger and still teachable somebody should have explained to you that within the ONE bible....there were TWO testaments. Maybe someone should have taken your then young flexible mind and explained to you that within the GodHead was BOTH Father and Son. You miss the...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    There will be an endless conflict of human faith and the faith OF Christ until one realizes that faith indeed exists on more than one level. In Him we go from faith to faith. Without understanding the 2 levels of faith we won't understand the 2 levels of righteousness...and the purpose of...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Yes. This is true. Saving faith is not limited to one level. We can be saved by believing God for a healing in a certain situation. Is that not also saving faith? There is a human faith but also a "GIFT OF FAITH" ...by the Spirit. That is the faith that allows for the higher walk....to walk...

    Maybe to whom much is given more is required?????

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Why do you hate the counsel of Jesus so much? He says to ask, seek and knock. Are you afraid of seeking God? Why? Is that a work? Or do you not love God at all? Are you so selfish that you can't lift a finger to please God? Heb. 4:1 “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    And don't forget that all the people in the wilderness that looked up to the brass serpent and were saved in their affliction also perished in the wilderness. Judge nothing before the time. If people could only understand that we are in a race of faith...a wilderness walk...and most are...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    But notice how the word saved here so often means to be preserved/healed...a temporal life healing...and not an eternal status. it's a mistake to take a deliverance from a temporal affliction to mean an eternal state. Jesus often says...go and sin no more lest a worse thing happen to you.

    Is Jordan Peterson Taking the Proper Steps toward Eternal Life?

    Here is an example of a man who does the exact opposite of what so many do in the modern church. Jordan Peterson takes on the challenges of obedience to God but without claiming any of the benefits. He lives as if God exists. So many profess to believe in God but then proceed to behave in a way...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Amen. This is very important to consider. The outer man has no idea of the damage he causes to true faith. But it would be better to have a millstone tied around one's neck and be thrown into the sea than to discourage one inner man. Be strong in Him, sister. Jesus took so much more on Himself...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    All based on religious assumptions and presumptions. Only indoctrinated brain-washed people assume the bible is always speaking in glowing terms about their ego.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Who's we? The word speaks to you to repent...not name it claim it to puff up your outer man religious ego. All make believe. You are playing in puddles rather than embarking on a deep-sea spiritual voyage. God does NOT support make-believe. You have no understanding of the biblical...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    I use many different tools to get the truth across. Remember, this is a public forum. Each crow thinks its all about him/her. So they will take it personally. I don't take any attacks on me personally. I expect snakes to bite and dogs to bark. But I write for the benefit of all the inner men...
