I would never doubt someone else's experience. That sounds wonderful!

I have more to say on this topic, dear friend. Romans 8:1-2 Open your mind to the wonder of the God and Creator of the Universe and everything that was made on them. Look up and try to imagine where it ends. Is there a wall? What is on the other side. It just keeps going on and on and it is...

Scott, when you speak of body of sin and death, are you thinking that our body of muscles, organs, blood, and skin and bones produces sin? No where does it say that, only that because of Adam's sin will our body that is dying day by day until it dies completely does not produce sin. That is why...

Why are you saying that the old man of sin and death doesn't fully die until after the body dies. At least, that is what I understand by the phrase "fully passes." If so, then you are wrong about the power of Christ and the meaning of crucifying the old man. It is dead. And what is resurrected...

Really? I guess I misunderstood your meaning here below: Not yet come?

Jesus coming "in the flesh" means what you think it means. A human body. "the flesh" is used two different ways, so discern the context. That does not mean that Jesus could sin, like other men who are "in the flesh" - the other meaning of the terminology. Do you know why Jesus could not sin? It...

Because of your first sentence, I added what you were referring to: Romans 7:5-6 Oh my, I'm going to have to delete your whole post, and try to break it down into your paragraphs. There is too much I don't understand... "the error of that statement? What about Romans 7:5-6 do you not...

I can't agree. This New Covenant is of the Spirit. Now! The New Covenant is supernatural, and a recreation of our nature to bring us back to Adam's state before he sinned. We have a clean nature like Adam was created with; a free will as both mankind and the angelic host were created with, but...

Hi Scott, This is a little confusing to me. Romans 8:9 says we are NOT IN THE FLESH, so why are you saying, "But in the flesh, we remain." Are you talking about yourself, or in general for mankind, not all of which are following Jesus? P.S. I just saw an earlier post of yours that I missed...

Only to honor the one who posted it. :gd

I know I've told you this before, but Romans 7 shows three different periods in world history about the Law of God. From Adam to Moses sin was in the world, but if there is no law to judge sin by, there is no sin. That is verse 9, and it also shows when Moses received the Law. Note Paul still...

I don't think I want to fill my mind with the evil minds of Satan's own.

They were in favor of her killing her children? Why? I don't know the story, just the headlines @Wrangler

The old man was our sin nature. Our nature is made up of our spirit and soul, but not our body. The old man was crucified, and we were resurrected with a new spirit and soul. This is when the Spirit writes God's laws on our heart/soul. The new spirit is a new mind. 1 Cor. 2:16 says we receive...

NO! It's DEAD. That includes the other name for the flesh, the "sin nature." When Jesus says He takes away our sin, it is the sin nature that He takes it away from. Many denominations believe the heresy that Jesus left it behind. FALSE. When it was alive it wanted to commit sins unto death...

Both Paul and I say of "the flesh" that we are NOT IN THE FLESH, so you are not understanding a thing I've said, not even Paul. The flesh is called "the old man" and when we truly repent, the flesh is crucified. That means it is DEAD, not glorified nor immortalized in sin! The flesh is what the...

I'm not the one that keeps referring to the flesh of our bodies that must turn to dust. Like this.

That is the purpose of Romans 8:10 that follows 9. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life...

Jesus died so that we too could walk righteously and not commit 'sins unto death. He took our desire to commit "sins unto death" away. I have found that what John taught has been lost. But it is right there. He died so that we could be like Him. Up to the Day of Pentecost and the New Covenant...

Right. This is why Jesus said, you must be born again of the Spirit. Unfortunately, there are many Christians who are powerless when it comes to sin. They are not born again, so are still in the flesh.
