Jesus put on this flesh, yet He was sinless. When we put on Christ we are equipped in the very same way as Jesus was in His time here. 1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought...

We can only perceive according to our experience. Otherwise faith is required.

Very true. Jesus and the Father are One. The mystery is that Jesus became a part of His own creation...thereby "elevating" both mankind (who are in the Beloved) but also the Father who is now "the MOST high God." The Father is 3 times holy as the Son has glorified the Father by creating an...

1 John 3:9 “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” This is written by the same man you have misquoted to mean we can sin IN Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels. Gnosticism backs up your kind of reasoning. It is a reasoning that denies the active power of God in one who has been accepted into the Beloved.

The irony here is that you are denying Romans 8...because you are stuck in Romans 7. We are to put to death the deeds of the flesh (sin) through the Spirit. THAT is what life in Christ is all about. That is what Romans 8 is all about. You are preaching a powerless gospel here, as so many do...

In your experience up till now....wadr! :)

People justify themselves for NOT sowing to the Spirit and not BECAUSE they did. A person who sows to the Spirit waits on God....not people. Our justification comes from above...not from ourselves who think our own faith or belief is sufficient for salvation. If our faith were sufficient for...

This is happening today as well. There are whole doctrines that deny people entering into kingdom life. Dispensationalism does this. But there is also a lack of understanding of what the kingdom of God is. So then the ignorant teach the ignorant and the blind lead the blind. Same as it ever was.

But if we sow to the Spirit....we shall also reap of the Spirit. Here we see that reaping and sowing is not just in the natural world...but also the spiritual heavenly realm. How do we sow to the Spirit? By faith.

Paul transitions from...it is no longer I who sins but sin in me....to...it is no longer I but Christ who lives in me. Does Christ sin? If it is no longer I, (the person that sins that is) who lives...but Christ???? When we put on Christ we cannot sin...as John says. But every man sins of...

We know that evil is like a deep pit...and people can go very deep into darkness. But it seems we don't know the goodness of the Lord goes deeper still. Jesus said..I am the way, the truth and the life. He came to bring us a new kind of life....a life from another place...heaven. Grace enables...

When Jesus was presented to the Sanhedrin...had they not already judged many false messiahs? Why couldn't this be but just one more false prophet? It seems the only way for people to hear the truth is to see signs and wonders....THEN...they will open their minds to listen to what is being...

Paul charges us to beware those who are ..."always learning but never come into the knowledge of the truth" So then these know something of the truth...but they resist the whole knowledge of the truth and this for a variety of reasons...indoctrinations, pride, a lack of love and discernment, an...

We are to be led by the Spirit. So then the truth is not a static thing... A doctrine is not enough...but the truth is. The truth is a living connection to God by abiding in Christ through the Spirit. The truth is to know Jesus and walk as He walked. This is accomplished by the divine gift...

There are at least 3 different kinds of sins...and many sins fall into one of these categories. A person can sin through weakness, ignorance, pride...etc... Jesus died for all these types of sins. We can be forgiven all...but we must move forward...repent after sinning...and continue to move...

...or at least insufficient. The truth can indeed be known. Jesus said..you will know the truth...and not...you will know SOME of the truth or...you will know A truth. That's how I see the denoms...the pillar and ground of a truth....but not the truth. Knowing the truth allows you to see...

Paul says in Romans 7...the sin I would not do...I do. So then that isn't willful sinning. That is sinning through weakness. Also Paul says here...it isn't I who desire to sin but it is the power of sin in my members. The law of sin! Now, most Christians i know still sin... Is that not...

It really depends on the depth of conversion. I was baptized in the Spirit from the get-go. I walked in supernatural power and light until I couldn't take it anymore. It is difficult to relay exactly the process as it changes from person to person. All we know is where we are...

I see the bible describing salvation as a process...from a self-interested sinner to a selfless lover of God and others. What I don't see is a status....since salvation just means you don't die along with the wicked. I think people are too easily satisfied with escaping death...not realizing...
