Oh. OK,,,agreed. I didn't understand well... :)

Being a slave to sin is not the same as sinning. A born again person does not love the darkness and their conscience does bother them when they sin. This is because they do Not go in and out of the spirit, as you worded it. Because they are in the spirit and did not heed the Holy Spirit is...

Don't I know it ! I know at least 2 others that believe this. But we still need to speak what scripture teaches for those reading along.

Your second sentence is a personal opinion. Are you saying priests HAVE NOT intentionally quoted God?

I'm on a phone and it's difficult to post... Hope my computer is good soon... You say we are to be like Christ and we have His nature. Jesus has the nature of God,,,how could we have Jesus' nature if we're not God? We have a human nature and that includes the possibility of sinning. Jesus...

Not really. And I don't know what I'd use as a spiritual tattoo. Maybe a small cross...

Cooper, Do we ever ponder the many prophesies Jesus fulfilled.... A pastor I once had explained that anyone could be born that could fulfill one, even 2, and with difficulty 3. But Jesus fulfilled many. The chances of this happening would be like filling the state of Texas 2 inches high with...

I hope you're not having difficulties A. My prayers are with you.

Amen to that. Your statements are short yet insightful.

When I read your post, I chuckled too! But Jesus was God, so He was allowed to teach differently! :)

I think @Cooper means that God is visible to us through Jesus. I do believe this is correct.... IF YOU'VE SEEN ME YOU'VE SEEN THE FATHER....

You believe we no longer have the sin nature? We still have it but it's kept in suppression by the Holy Spirit. But you don't believe we sin, and so you can also believe we no longer have the sin nature. Paul speaks of the flesh.... He says not to WALK in the flesh... We still have it but we are...

You know Amadeus... The most important question in the N.T. is WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? Matthew 6:15 I don't know what you believe...I've known you to be a very Christian person. But from the beginning of the church, Jesus was believed to be God. If we're to trust the N.T. then we can believe...

Your examples are good. I wish everyone would accept them that calls themselves a Christian.

Christians do not have total light. We are constantly growing. 1 Corinthians 13:9-12 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, 10but when what is perfect comes, the partial will be set aside. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child...

I find this problem in conversing on these forums.... I made specific statement to you in my previous post... but you do not explain my verse. You just write back with your own. That's verse chess.... The above is true. 1 John 1-9 is regarding when we come to believe in God and His...

A lot of persons say scary things. Nowhere does it say A LOVE GOD. Also some have created a God with No Love... The reformed. Maybe that is Even More scary. It would be a God that created us, but does not care a hoot about us. How lonely that sounds.

See post 238 by @Cooper . It's excellent.

See post 238 by @Cooper . His explanation replying to your question is the best I've seen.

Someone on this thread gave an excellent answer, but I'll have to look for it.
