Very good~

You are quoting this... Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the...

Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

In other words why would God seek to turn a blind eye towards something He condemns? Does He make it LOOK like we become righteous or does He make a new creation based on faith?

Faith is the constant awareness of God.

There has never been a saint that was not a sinner at one time.

No one who is popular that's for sure! Jesus lived as an obscure prophet speaking an obscure language in an obscure place. You need to look there for the followers of the Master.

Christian science?

It is bothersome...agreed! :) But I also hear the same argument but in reverse. Many believe they are already good enough...just have to believe in an historical event and they are saved and glorified with Christ. The first scenario you have shown demonstrates a lack of knowledge...but at...

Thank you for the discussion! God bless you brother! :)

If we are where the Father wants us to be...then we will have the power to overcome any temptation. But if we think we can go and do whatever we FEEL like doing...we have already succumbed to the temptation to do our own thing. So the subsequent sins are just branches of the tree of self we are...

God bless you!! :) The bible is written according to type...so different words are used to surround a subject...but it takes the Holy Spirit to see the truth of it. Jesus said He would spew believers out of His mouth unless they repented. Other scriptures allude to this by...

Are you saying there are no saints in the world? God's provision has been short-circuited by the itching ears crowd that want to keep their old lives AND somehow be saved anyways. There are many teachers for hire that will tell you what you want to hear. The truth comes at a higher cost but at...

Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. His life in us sets us free from sin. If we live in His life we cannot sin. Sin is outside His life. It is death. The soul that sins...it shall die. All that is not of faith is sin...

Here is a very difficult concept to grasp... If we still sin, then we are not yet under grace, but still stuck under the law.

Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Since we are under the power of grace, we cannot sin. John says it many different ways...but the lesson is lost because we tend to look at our lack instead of God's provision. So we miss the...

I prefer a secular state to a religious one. But to be ruled by God is the only way to go!! :)

Hyper-dispensationalism goes exactly contrary to the word. It creates two classes of believers based on a physical circumcision. The Judaizers of Acts were more honest than the dispensationalists. They believed in oneness but that all should be circumcised making that unity physical AS WELL AS...

The "emperor's new clothes" of righteousness! ;)

There are not two new covenants...one for the Jews and one for the Gentiles. There are not two brides of Christ...one for the Jews and one for the Gentiles. The whole logic behind this seeks to separate what God has joined together in ONE Lord. In Christ there is no difference to be made by...
