Of course, when read in context from verse 7 and not out of that context by starting with verse 14. Any time you see someone holding on for dear life to Romans 7 to justify their weakness over sin, you know that person is still unregenerate and doesn't want to do anything about it - just not be...

You do know that in Romans 8 the spirit being spoken of is the Holy Spirit. How does the Spirit communicate to us? In our mind and conscience. When you are filled with the Spirit our conscience is super-sensitive to His leading.

That's silly. The sins of the flesh START in the mind. Our mind is also born again. 1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in...

Exactly.

Matthew 5: 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. This verse came to mind as far as...

The answer to that question is given right there. Jesus. So why would you ask it? The preceding verses are all about sin in the flesh vs. knowledge of the law. The sin in the flesh is unto death. Romans 7 is mankind WITH the law, but WITHOUT Jesus. That is why the question is asked at the end of...

Great. I'll read it tomorrow. I've got a good book waiting for me, so its off to bed.

Hi Nancy, We must look at sin the way God sees sin, not the terminology of denominations, but of Scripture. To Him, it is not "sin is sin" as if all sin is the same. That is denominational terminology, especially in liberal denominations that preach against sinless perfection. What you called...

My little children are Christians, yes. But that is after 1 John 1:8-9. You better be careful who you are accusing, for you are the guilty one here twisting John's meaning.

1 Corinthians 14:38

No, John agrees with me, or I should say, I agree with him, because I know what he means. You underline the two verses in 1 John 1 that are to be read together in context. 8 is before Christ. 9 is how to become a Christian. You must understand John by the context of the whole epistle. Look at 1...

God is the Great Psychiatrist! LOL What you say about turning away from temptation and all that is fine with me. I agree. Even though the sin nature is dead, you can resurrect it by choosing a different master. OSAS is a myth.

As I said, the sin nature is bad. That is why it is removed by the Spirit. It is not only a fact, as in we are dead to sin, but we must also reckon ourselves dead to sin, which is what you are talking about. But we must first be dead to sin. That only happens through the baptism of the Holy...

I disagree. The mind is also the flesh and is either unregenerate or reborn. The mind is the source of adultery, murders, sorcery, lack of self control, etc. We have the mind of Christ.

The flesh is bad, that is why God replaces it. That is what being born again is all about. Not just our spirit, but our sin nature (flesh). We consist of spirit, mind and body. Our spirit and mind are born again of the Spirit. Our mind is the sin nature we’ve inherited from Adam, and is renewed...

The way I look at the flesh is Romans 6 - we are dead to sin, and that means our sin nature is dead - the other meaning of "flesh." We suddenly hate sin and love righteousness. It is easy not to sin, because even when temptation comes our way, we can do all things through Christ Who strengthens...

You didn't answer this part "Then if you cannot sin, how can you say the flesh is not dead?"

It's a "grace" covers sin type church.

Then if you cannot sin, how can you say the flesh is not dead? For instance, my husband married his mistress. Are they living in adultery because he divorced me and married his best friend's wife? Will they go to heaven? They go to church.
