If a person is acquitted of a murder charge...does that mean he can now murder without any further consequences in the future? If a man is forgiven for past sins by Jesus Christ, does that mean he can transgress the law without penalty from now on?

If someone wishes to go to Paris...they can put their trust belief and confidence in planes and/or ships and get there. Once there one sees the eiffel tower and hears a lot of French. :) Now imagine for a moment that someone tells you they also believe they are in Paris but have never seen the...

The burden we are to carry is light....there is no effort to being sinless..just abide in Christ. If you really do believe that Jesus doesn't sin then why not abide in him? Your accusation of me putting an un-needed burden on others is plainly ridiculous. You can read the bible...just don't...

Col_1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Gal_2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live...

I think the best road to happiness is to forsake happiness. The more you chase after it...the faster it will run from you. Begin by rejoicing in all things! Yes...even to your own hurt. You could still become a great person in the kingdom for ever. Show the world the best a person can do in...

So great is the mercy of God that even one who previously killed the family of God could be forgiven and given a place of honour in that same family! Who but God can do this?? :) We are never so far away from God that His mercy cannot reach us.

We are on a good track if we have not railed against the truth as many seem to do with impunity on this forum. We are called to exhort rebuke and correct with all sound doctrine from the word. We all have copies of the bible. That is the beginning point of our conversation. As musicians can...

Actually men are not to see them selves as funnels for all other men. This idea creates ecclesiastical hierarchies that are not biblical or realistic. The NT talks of churches in the plural. A man can only know and be known by a few others. He cannot know personally everyone in the world. A...

You are just labelling things based on your own perception. The truth is objective. There are two natures...the Adamic and the divine nature in Christ. If you are in the Adamic nature...you are dead in your sins. If you are in Christ you are alive in the righteousness of God. Rather than...

LOL...In Adam we are all sinners....just like Hitler. We may hate the comparison because we like to justify ourselves as follows...I may be a sinner but at least I'm not like THAT guy....just like the Pharisee said to God about the "evil" tax collector. So our outrage obcures the truth about...

Yes...then they will point a finger at you and call you self-righteous for daring to point it out!!! :)

I could select any number of test cases to prove anything. There have been billions of people who have been born and died. You chose an example of someone who didn't understand the latin bible (he was probably forbidden from reading it) and tried to reach Christ or sinlessness by his own...

And the walk in the Spirit is God walking through men...Paul said it was Christ living through him...that is what Christianity is...it is a new creation in Christ. Not the same old bondage...but freedom in Christ. Freedom to sin? God forbid! We are free to walk with the Lord IN Christ BY the...

The tax collector will claim he is the Pharisee and the Pharisee will claim to be the tax collector!!! ;) I have never claimed to be perfect...you are again using false accusations to try strengthening a point that isn't biblical at all. I am saying that Jesus Christ does not sin...never has...

Only One...yes!!!! But that One made a way for us to become co-heirs with Him. Not by making God blind...but by a new creation in holiness without sin.

Your few examples prove that some people tried fighting the flesh in their own strength. This does not take away from the victory and truth in Christ. It just means that people throughout history were not all victorious in Christ. Throwing yourself on branches and whipping yourself makes good...

Aspen my friend...these "ideals" turned the world upside down in the first century. Many "idealists" were burned, sawn in half and thrown to Lions. But they will reign with the great Idealist...Jesus Christ. :) Hooah brother! :)

This conclusion is not the meaning of Paul. He is saying that we follow the law of sin and death with the flesh nature or we follow the Spirit of life though the Spirit. We can't do both. Read Romans 8...remember that Paul didn't have chapters in his letters...they were all one description of...

....And as babes we will need to confess our sins of failure to apprehend His means of victory. The reality is that we need not depart from His presence...ever! Once we realize this and remain in Christ then we cease from sin altogether. We don't live in a perpetual repentance...but in the...

God trains us for our good! I have pretty bad eczema! Paul also had a thorn in his flesh. :)
