I agree. That is why Jesus came; they need to be born again. I have a divine nature. What type of nature do you claim as your own currently.

Not the kind of flesh where sin abided. We have been cleansed of all unrighteousness. There is none left, even though we are in a body that is dying more day by day.

Yes it is. 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly...

He had pure desires. Not carnal desires.

Exactly.

Where sin resided. That is what is dead. Our old man is gone. What is born again is more than our mind - our spirit, but our emotions also - our heart. Our heart/soul is where the laws of God are written! The ONLY thing not dead is our body, but sin doesn't reside there anyway, anymore than it...

What do you believe is the old man? You don't seem to be associating it at all with our nature. What else do you think it is? Our nature is our mind and heart; our spirit and soul. The body is just a shell, the puppet that the mind and emotions orchestrates. That is why it is not necessary for...

Yes, just not the flesh Paul is talking about in Romans 8:9. That is our nature called the old man, or carnal nature or flesh, as in sins of the flesh Gal. 5:19-21. That is what is born again. Sin does not reside in our outer shell called the body. It was within until it was crucified with Christ.

Actually, or just theologically? In my studies of different doctrines about the same thing, I am finding that some have difference reasons for Christ dying on the cross and what He actually accomplished. They start with a verse not about a Christian, like 1 John 1:8, and determine that Jesus...

No. They are at the same time. We are one. John 17 It also sheds new light on "My sheep HEAR my voice." It's literal.

Of course. My whole life since being filled with the Holy Spirit is different than my life before. And being able to hear His voice and what He teaches me confirms that the Spirit does reside in me powerfully. 1 John 3:21-24 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence...

It certainly confirms Biblical teaching though, and stops from believing scriptures taken out of context. It still baffles me how many believe that Paul's teaching in Romans 7 about what it is like being under the law with a sinful nature intact differs from the law of the Spirit of life in...

The problem with that as I experienced was that I was in church for 30 years thinking I was resting in Jesus, but the reality was that I was not saved. Only after actually receiving the Holy Spirit inside me did I understand what being "born again" was all about. It was freedom from the desire...

1 John 3:21 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And the next verse is true too. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

If you don't want to sin, why would you? Do you like not getting any sleep because your conscience won't shut up? LOL Personally, I like peace and quiet within. CC: @Mugre Pinzon

My conscience is clear.

I know what you mean. I'm on another site also, but can only post the truth for so long until I'm banned for a week because of the haters always reporting me for disagreeing with them.

I can believe that marks. These are the last days and the falling away from the truth has been happening since before you were born. And most of them want to fight for the right to sin and have it already paid for by Christ. Oy vey.

Not intentionally. But that doesn't mean I had not more to learn to cause my conscience to grow in sensitivity to God's will. But I did live up to the knowledge that I had. Philippians 3:16. For instance, I thought because my husband was already a Christian that the check I was getting in my...

Okay, I'm lost. I have no idea what you are saying and in answer to what was it that I said. LOL Never mind. Ask me a question if you like and let's start over.
