So if you start doing one or more of those works of the flesh repeatedly, knowing it as sin as a born again, does Jesus have that sin and it is not imputed to you, or do you own it, and will it jeopardize you inheriting the Kingdom of God?
There is no "sin" you are doing....or committing.
Listen...
If you commit a "work of the flesh", as illustrated by those Galatians VERSES that you enjoy ignoring, you will find that if you stop ignoring them, then a lot of things perfectly line up = into theological sense.
To commit a sin, you have to be unforgiven.
Can you be born again and be unforgiven? = NOPE !
Sinners die in their sin.
The born again die inside God's Justification by FAITH.
THESE ARE NOT THE SAME.
Then a religious and confused person says....>"then why repent and confess"., what about 1 John.....
Exactly.
Why?
Paul says..."let us leave the BABY FOOD DIAPER STAGE of repenting from DEAD WORKS".... Hebrews 6:1
So, when you are dealing with a "repenting confessing" Christian, you are dealing with a truly theologically and Spiritually immature baby who is in the diaper stage of trying to "be good to stay saved".
Notice that phrase in Hebrews 6:1 " dead works"?
Notice it again now....""if you walk in the Spirit, you will not commit WORKS of the Flesh"?
Notice that word "works'?.... .Notice that its not the word "sin"?
Ahhhh.
And why is that, Reader?
Now notice this....>"Use not your liberty, for an occasion to the FLESH".. Paul teaches about your state of GRACE, = not being under the Law, anymore.
Now go back...= ."if you walk in the Spirit, you will not commit WORKS ... OF>..... THE FLESH".<
Notice how "works of the flesh", and that List in Galatians 5.......all that stuff use to be called SIN.
But notice now that its NOT.
Is Paul confused?
Not quite.
Yet remember....this is only with respect to the BORN AGAIN who are no longer under the curse of the Law.
See, the same deeds committed before you are saved, are CALLED "SIN">
But after you are born again, there is no Sin in Christ, and the born again are "In Christ", and Christ has BECOME OUR SIN>. = on the Cross and He has DIED for them ALL.
So, when we do the very same deeds as a born again Christian, they are now under a new TITLE, because we are UNDER A NEW DOMINION. = "GRACE".
Where sin is found, Grace more ABOUNDS.
Its like a big SIN ERASER filled with CHRIST's BLOOD, that has erased all your sin, past, present, and future.
THey are all GONE, because CHRIST has them all on HIS Cross, = 2000+ years ago.
Before we are saved = we are "Under the LAW" = works of the flesh are called SIN, because we are transgressing the law with our behavior...... But Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, the COMMANDMENTS are abolished, they have no more authority to define us as "sinners" so, there goes your sin.
Once we are born again, we are "under GRACE" and Sin is Gone, God'sRighteousness as the "Gift of Righteousness" is become who we ARE "in Christ" , and now as the "new Creation"< we deal with "works of the flesh" or , as i teach it "carnal deeds".
This situation is "sin consciousness" and it can be resolved by "walking in the Spirit" "in the mind of Christ" by RIGHT BELIEVING.
See my other 40 Threads on this, again, for an update.
Then, when you read Romans 4:8 and it tells you that God does not "impute your sin to you", its because He CAN'T.
Why?
1.) Because there is no SIN FOUND in the Kingdom of GOD where the born again have been "translated from darkness to Light"
2. Because we are "IN CHRIST"
3.) Jesus has been judged already for all our SIN. = Colossians 2:13.. So, God can't ALSO judge us for our sin.
God cannot "double judge".
So, there is no "sin" issue, related to the "new Creation" born again.
There is just the "works of the flesh", that are related to our "dead man", who was crucified with Christ.
These exist as "sin consciousness" "works of the Flesh" and can be resolved by Right Believing.
