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

    Reducing the truth to a dogma that can be accepted by an unconverted soul is the province of religion. You have fallen for a religious representation of Christianity...to the point where you deny the power of the cross and the resurrection life of Christ. To you, Jesus is still on the cross...

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

    When you are so uncareful in your reading...and are so quick to jump to conclusions...how are you going to be able to weigh the mysteries of God (for those who have not experienced resurrection life)? Would someone as passive-aggressive as yourself understand what being born again even means...

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

    I see you are continuing to champion the outer man both in yourself, and others...as expected. The truth barely makes a dent in your false religious covering. Continue to take counsel of one another. Is. 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and...

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

    Truly its the world upside down with many here. See, I didn't say "all". I know the difference between many and all. I can't say that MANY do! :cool:

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

    You are interpreting the meaning away from the verses. You are assuming that being "in" Christ is the equivalent of those who have begun in the Spirit. But the bible refutes that premise. Not all who begin a race finish well. So you are imposing your "idee fixe" of being born again...and...

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

    You lie of course. You have to, to have any case against me. I said that YOU treat Jesus as your whipping boy. Look it up. And YOU are only in it for the free stuff. I know the cross personally as the power over sin. You, on the other hand, can only point to a cross AS you sin. That being...

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

    You do realize that Pauline is not mentioned in the bible. It's funny that Christ's teaching is right there in the gospels ...but you are able to ignore it and actually contradict it. Don't forget my book. Check it out... I actually got a professional review recently from a world renowned...

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

    Your error is based on a myopic viewpoint based on a misunderstanding of what Paul is saying. What many here possess is based on a preconceived ideological premise that is easily refuted by a deeper study. You are reading back your own image through the mirror that is the word. While you try...

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

    "Some things are believed because they are demonstrably true, but many other things are believed simply because they have been asserted repeatedly." Thomas Sowell My "theology" is based on a very deep study of the bible (which people have only skimmed through) and by the living God who backed...

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

    You put yourself in the place of God. Look at your avatar. You have a messiah complex....but you are not Jesus. You are not God. You are a confused and lost soul.

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

    This is a major mess..conflating different resurrections and obscuring the different destinies. You need to actually understand what you are jumbling together. I know I'm wasting my time trying to get you to understand anything...but to others I will show how a more careful reading reveals the 4...

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

    This is a false duality. Just because you have been indoctrinated in no way makes me unique. This is a reflection on your lack. I'm simply not involved with the indoctrinating scheme you have fallen for. Let's see how "well versed" you really are. I must add "simplistic" to your dogmatic...

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

    "One cannot predict, much less forestall all the clever misinterpretations that others might put on one's words. The most that can be done is to alert honest people to the problem." Thomas Sowell

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

    The pot calling the kettle. No one here would mistake your fleshly antics with someone who had a "Christophany" unless it was a delusion that offered you life in your sin.

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

    Your understanding is very shallow. Once you get over your opinion....realize that the NT is written in Greek....not Hebrew. But that's just the beginning of your errors. Jesus is making a comparison...that takes people beyond what is doing right in a temporal way. Being spiritual in Christ...

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

    That's unbiblical. You are not providing any verses to support your error. I use scripture to prove what I say. You respond as any unbeliever would. No support beyond your opinion. And you expect your cohorts to agree with you and support your flesh? Hope this helps! next...

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

    You are missing the distinction between doing what is right in a temporal perspective and being a disciple of Christ. These would seem to be at odds with each other...until you realize that they are in completely different categories. Notice this... Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate...

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

    Exactly. :) Was the "good" Samaritan a saint? or did he simply (but righteously) care for others as himself? The saint must hate his wife, mother, father , brother, sister... in comparison to Christ. There is NO indicator that to love one's neighbour one must love the Lord more. The saint...

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

    Notice how the shallow soil gets offended at the truth. The superficial nature of the modern gospel has spoiled people from being able to tolerate sound doctrine. The gospel has been watered down to such an extent where the truth is mocked...and lies are upheld. Truly we are experiencing the...

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

    I know why the truth contained in the bible seems nonsensical to you. Do you?
