Have you recognized any? I have.

Hardly!

Hi Nancy! When an issue of growing the fruit of the Spirit is concerned, I always refer to 2 Peter 1:5-11

That is true. No one is born without a sin nature, so all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. That is why Jesus came, to take away that awful sin nature. Verse 9 is how that is accomplished. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us...

False doctrines in Christianity that are the opposite of what Jesus claimed and did. Matthew 7:21-23

Are you kidding? Yes. Many who play with Ouija boards end up oppressed, and could become fully possessed and in need of an Exorcist. But, that is not what this OP is about.

My mother was from Australia and was raised in the Church of England. How close is yours to hers. Are you still Anglican?

I just want to leave you with one question. Does your dissection of verses coincide with Jesus taking away our sin completely. Or in your mind do you rationalize that it is taken away only partially? What would a demon want you to believe? That Jesus is a liar???

Both. But "perfection" takes longer. The uninformed attack with the term sinless perfection. There is no such thing. Perfection is after maturing in all of the fruit of the Spirit and the steps are 2 Peter 1:5-7 But Jesus taught both! And that is what matters. John 8:32-36 and John 15

Okay, bye marks.

That is unscriptural, so whose doctrine is that? Yours? Or something else? It is certainly not the doctrine of Jesus who said He would free us indeed. And 1 Corinthians 2 says He gives us the MIND OF CHRIST.

There was no way I could change my nature - my natural instincts. It was only by Jesus and the Holy Spirit that my nature was changed supernaturally. I didn't do anything. He did it all. But that is exactly what JESUS said He would do in SCRIPTURE. I KNOW His words and claims are TRUE.

I'm not agreeing to your opinions without what scripture you are referring to. And I will research any scripture that seems to contradict the teachings of Jesus to see what is really being meant, or if it is about an unsaved person, and not a Christian like 1 John 1:8 that millions believe is a...

Exactly. So what's the problem?

marks, I'm sure you can understand Jesus when he says He takes away our sin, indeed. How much is indeed? How much is all? What we disagree on personally, between you and me, is when. That doesn't matter what we believe, it is what did Jesus SAY.

The carnal nature, the old man, was corrupt. That must be born again and puts on immortality. But the body is still corrupt in that is gets sick, grows old and will still die. When it does and Jesus brings it back to life and it is changed putting on immortality, it is then combined with the...

At the beginning of the chapter 6, isn't being dead to sin when we are crucified with Christ and are dead. That is referring to being born again, as opposed to someone who is not. We are born again in THIS life. We are filled with the Spirit and changed on the inside in THIS life. But the body...

Yes. But God always provides a way of escape. The born again, look for it and they find it and take it. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks...

What do I mean? Or what does the Bible say? That's what this post is about. I have to ask myself, just like you have to ask yourself, if what we believe is what Jesus taught, or our own human reasoning. spiritual is supernatural. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not...

supernatural is natural for the born again. carnal is natural for the unsaved.
