Idealism? Is Christ now a philosopher? The bible is the truth told by men who were transformed by God. Today we see the lack of power and a lack of the testimony that shaped the disciples of Christ. We say...God no longer works that way...or else they were just young and not mature in the ways...

You are confusing faith and hope...Trusting in a past event and looking for a future life is about hope not faith. Faith moves mountains TODAY. Our walk is NOW, So if you walk by faith then you will inherit what is hoped for at that time. We reap what we sow. So we walk by the power of Christ...

Paul learned to overcome in Christ alone. God meant for him to explain the process as he did in Romans culminating with Romans 8 where he finally overcame through Christ. Historically we have John who said that one who is born again does not and cannot sin. That is HIS testimony. So those who...

You are seeking to obscure the biblical truth with a historical truism? Paul showed the PROCESS of becoming set free from sin in Christ. Peter denied Christ before Pentecost. It is very possible that we can sin in our immaturity in forsaking the keeping power of God through our habitual...

Logabe you are certainly a servant of my Master! I appreciate your posts! :) God will not give Israel in the flesh another chance. God has permanently chosen to have Christ be the doorway to Himself. We each live our lives and then comes judgment. God chooses some among us but He will never...

He is also a God of truth judgment and righteousness. God does not rejoice at the death of the wicked. We should be careful to not become humanistic in our view of God. How can God attach Himself to what is not holy? We may sin and override wisdom in our own affections, but God most assuredly...

Another one!!! ;) To teach sinfulness in the flesh is to deny the power of the cross. We are dead to sin who are dead in Christ. We are alive to God who are born again from above according to the Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not sin, and neither do they who walk in His power.

God has created many billions of us so that the required number may be present at the revealing of His glory. It is those who will be absent that are the losers.

Luther likened justification to a dunghill covered by a fresh covering of snow. So when a little heat is applied the whole thing stinks to high heaven. :blink: Actually Jesus Christ INFUSES us with His righteousness through the new birth. He abides in us. When we learn to surrender to Christ...

What you are saying is that the Spirit profits nothing. Is the flesh more powerful than God? We are made perfect by the Spirit so that we walk as Jesus walked. Did Jesus sin? Did Jesus have a human body? Jesus perfected the walk in THIS kind of body on THIS earth with THE SAME temptations as...

Or His permissiveness!

I think we will be surprised at how few are in the Bride of Christ compared with all those who claim to love Him (yet live in unfaithfulness)

This is very unfortunate and really a sign of the times. How many really have faith? How many have really entered into Christ? As for the necessity of a death to sin.. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your...

A very important lesson. Humility must be ever before us. The greater our exploits the more we need to seek obscurity. It is good that you grasp one thing and also not let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with both of them. Eccl. 7:18

Mixing vegetables and fruit will make a mess of any salad!

Richard, do you deny that the grace of God is sufficient to stop you from sinning?

Repetitive argumentation? It is better to look more closely at what the rest of the bible says to get a clearer picture of the word of God. I am espousing walking in the Spirit according to the divine power of grace not a self-help effort! What makes you not able to see this?

We are being made perfect by the Spirit by the indwelling Spirit. The flesh profits nothing. What men are too weak to do CHRIST does IN them by faith.

Gal 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. Gal 2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. Gal 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law...

No, we overcome through the inner man in Christ. Jesus lives INSIDE and wins IN us. We are sinful before because we are in bondage and darkness to the fallen nature. We do not attain sinlessness...Christ is already sinless! So when He lives through us we cannot sin. As long as we abide in...
