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

    Many point the finger and speak vanity...saying...look to the cross. These try to take away the conviction of the Spirit by trying to redirect their own sinful behaviour onto Jesus. These want to keep Jesus on the cross to be their personal clean-up person. Paul gloried in the cross..not as an...

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

    The yoke of Christ is to bear His reproach...to be hated by carnally religious "saved" people because you are holding out the truth which is a call to faith. But that yoke is made easy in that we know that if we suffer the reproach of Christ...then we will also be rewarded by Him personally. So...

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

    Amen. That yoke of bondage is the outer man. We are to carry our own cross (the outer man)...NOT having confidence in the flesh or carnal reasoning (as so many do here). ...until we are crucified DEAD in the outer man to walk then with a newfound freedom in the Spirit being empowered in the...

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

    What most believers don't realize is that we are all in a race of faith. In a race are both winners and losers. Out of the SAME LUMP are vessels of both honour AND dishonour. We see the dishonourable in full bloom here. Most have been taught to revel in being "saved". So MUCH emphasis is put on...

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

    The gospel is about the power to free people from the bondage to sin. Jesus came to set the captives free. If you have not known that power...then you have not known Christ and are not yet born again. Grace is the power of God us-ward who believe. But God is the one that decides who is raised...

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

    Yeah...nothing real like that. Like actually being born in a heavenly place or anything. Just a religious decision that your sins are forgiven...because its the word and the word is never wrong.

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

    Yes, I'm saying that in your obsession to be saved you have created a new category...a sinful holiness...a filthy rags righteousness.... being now attributable to God (of all things)...and other such fallacies. If you could be taken serious ya'll would be dangerous. Fortunately you have no...

    Coming from you...this is a compliment! :woohoo!:

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

    That puts you at a disadvantage. The poor need food and clean water. While you judge them and consign them to hell because of a religious dogmatic ideology...God is a God of the fatherless, the needy, the widow, the disadvantaged. You should read the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Was...

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

    Not everything can be categorized into black and white dogmatic stances. I don't have a religion. I have a faith. What I see and therefore comment on is the flesh acting like its more than it is. Somebody has to represent the truth.

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

    There is no secular or sacred. There is no clergy or laity. That's all based on man-made religious boundaries that God doesn't recognize. but there are too many things for you to learn...and unlearn here. You guys really need a lot of help...clearly. You will need to find help where you are...

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

    You are obsessed with one religion being superior to the other. But all religions are vain...yours included. Other religions are not there to prop up your ego against. Christianity is not a religion...you can name and claim. it is a walk in a realm that you don't know from other...

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

    God is free to do what He wants, when He wants. Nice try putting God in your religious box. Scriptures back up true prophecy...same Spirit. In your scheme God is dead and left a book behind. There is no life in your religion.

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

    You are just religious...no life there. Beliefs are from the wrong part of us. You need to learn what faith is. Faith is not interested in constant propping up dogmas and taking the Lord's name in vain. You are in the wrong realm.

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

    I'm exposing what is false to encourage what God is after. You are here as a troll to put the truth to mockery. Stick with fishing.

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

    So do I. So then oppose your outer man. Take a stand by faith. Betray your own cause...lose everything so that you can win Christ. Have faith.

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

    Quite the opposite. Jesus never forced anyone to do anything. That's your indoctrination speaking. Were you beaten into believing in Jesus as a child? Show me where it says that... Believe for what? You have no understanding behind the words you speak. No logic...just slogans for slogans...

    I actually live on a boulevard. I was hoping the sound of passing traffic would not be picked up. Glad you like the videos Nicholas.

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

    It is. Why do you allow your outer man such freedom to do it?

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

    A religious nut says you HAVE to believe in Jesus. Why? Does God force people to believe in anything? No. Only religious cults and nuts that belong to these cults do that. But religious nuts don't know they're religious nuts. That's why they're nuts. This is a cult slogan. God never forces...
