That in red are your own words; they are not in the scripture, nor is that opinion correct. It also appears that you believe those angels in chains are not in a pit, but walking around on the earth in our atmosphere. Am I right in what I discern you saying?

We are on the same page on most things, so I know you will understand this below. The Jews obeyed God's Ten Commandments, so why didn't keeping the Ten Commandments save them? Romans 7:13. Sin inside the flesh. Robert, what Paul realized about the Law that there was one commandment that was...

Did you know that just before a woman gives birth her "water breaks"? The fetus grows in the womb in water, and when it time to be born the water comes out. However, as I said, some believe the "water" refers to baptism. But I've noticed those people also give more emphasis on water baptism than...

We will also keep His commandments because they are now a part of our new born again nature. 1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

"Again" means you were already born once of water from the womb. Born of the Spirit means your carnal nature called the old man in Romans 6:6-7 dies and nailed to Christ's cross. Being born of the Spirit is being born "again" and our nature is changed. There are some who believe "water" is...

We are saying the opposite. And what is it that we are to obey to receive the Holy Spirit?

This doctrine of imputed righteousness had to do with Old Testament obedience. Jesus had not come yet to take away our sin nature, the source of sin. Abraham and King David still had their natures from Adam and Satan, so their righteousness was only imputed. Some denominations base their whole...

Strongs says of grace that it is "favor." Someone added "unmerited" and people who believe that definition stay unworthy. But the apostles taught that grace is the divine power of God. 2 Peter 1:2-4. Acts 4:33. Romans 1: What is the gospel of grace? It is the power of God. 5 Through Him we...

And we cannot obey Him until He is inside of us, abiding in us, and we abiding in Him. 1 John 3:24. The Jews obeyed God, but God was not inside of them. They kept the letter of the law, and had no way of keeping the Spirit of the law - through Christ. Yes, the fear of the Lord is the beginning...

The teachers that teach the doctrine of defeatism don't know the scriptures any more than their students. It is a case of the blind leading the blind. Unfortunately those doctrines of demons that teach the opposite of what Jesus did in taking away our sin and cleansing us from all...

Jesus Christ is God. The Spirit is the power of God. Read Romans 8:9. See that the Spirit is also God. And the Father, being invisible and Spirit is also God. "9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of...

That is a Pharisaical question. Luke 14:5 5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? A cow will suffer if not milked and fed. Do good. cc: @BarnyFife

Moonstone, we always have to test the spirits. God will never tell you something against His own word. He doesn't mind drinking a little wine, in fact, Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach. God just doesn't want us to get drunk with wine. Here is what God would actually say...

The verses before 9 tell you. It is like this. Before the law of don't think about a pink elephant, you never thought of a pink elephant. But now that there is a law against thinking about a pink elephant you can't help but think of pink elephants. That is what Paul is saying, except about the...

And that means they do not sin.

You are either in the flesh, or in the Spirit, but not both. Those who are born again are in the Spirit, and cannot sin.

Barn, tell him if he wants to stay with the eastern teaching style of present tense, but read it with a western mindset, that's up to him. But then Paul would have been over 1300 years old to have been alive before and after the law was given on Mt. Sinai.o_O 9 I was alive once without the...

There is true faith by abiding in Jesus and HE IN YOU which puts off the old man and makes you born again. And there is fake faith of seeing Jesus as an escape from hell, but no change in yourself. They are still slaves to sin. The latter is what is taught in many denominations started in the...

1 John 5:18

Would you rather be a true Christian or a fake one? Matthew 7:21-23
