Thank you again for the discussion, It all ties in with being born again, your new desire are things of the spirit rather than the flesh. I don’t care how good a person tries to be, they still end up missing the mark from time to time. It’s good to thankful for Gods grace, and to continue to...

Young's Literal Translation to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing, sin it is to him.

Hello @Titus, I did not read everything you posted. Thought when it comes to depraved. (I refute total Calvinism but being depraved I believe that is one thing that is). I was depraved from the things of God; but faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. in love, Matthew Gallagher

Consider this reader, Many people in this world still believe Satan is alive and active today. If you would simply ask yourself, who, what, when, why, where, how, in the addressing of scripture your mind may open to new information. Think about this, when Paul encouraged Timothy to publicly...

Hello to you Leve, The Bible isn’t perfect, in translation sense unless you get as close to the Greek translation as possible. You also have other types of bibles that have more books in them than the Protestant bibles. I personally believe the Protestant bibles are good enough for everything...

Hello to you 1st, This will be my final question. Yes to which question? You yourself can stop sinning in your flesh completely? It is Jesus Christ in and through you by the spirit who doesn’t sin when you act in faith in love for God and others? I dont know which one you’re saying yes to...

Hello to you 1st, Allowing Jesus Christ through you when you are living your life by faith is him (Jesus) not sinning through you. Your flesh will still fall short from time to time though it may be less than it when you first became a Christian is my understanding, @1stCenturyLady. My...

“If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

Hello to you, Reader of this thread 10 commandments are forever, yes they are there to remind you of imperfect you are. Jesus Christ is my righteousness. Grace is covering me by the blood of Jesus Christ, with faith in Him. My works are like filthy rags if I try to make myself right with God...

Hello my friend in Christ, As you wish to speak and say, my friend, @Lifelong_sinner. You may believe as you desire, for I will not hate you or condemn you for believing differently. As a Christian I’m called to love God and love unconditionally others, by the spirit. If there is anything...

Hello @Lifelong_sinner To me that does not answer any of the questions stated, thank you for sharing your insights of the tradition of men in which there are many churches teach. It is quite the dilemma! The reason is for Jesus Christ speaking about his return in that generation, and him not...

Hello to you 1st CenturyLady, and any reader of this post, Just desired to share with you my two cents which may be worth nothing, God does care if you believe in Jesus and have faith in Him. Sin has consequences... if you are hateful to a person, isn't there a consequence for that? If you...
