Are you saying like the other person that you do not physically sin, because it is not called sin by God because you are not under the law? Are you telling me that when I say I still physically sin it is a mistaken claim because I am saved by Jesus and not under the law?
I was never Under the Mosaic Law...true.
It’s mysterious conundrum...
Nearly EVERY Scriptural text, has two meanings...
From a Natural perspective...ALSO...a Spiritual perspective.
Mans BODY, born physically
ALIVE...
..Yet Spiritual
DEAD to God.
Physically ALIVE...seen, observed, body functioning, blood flowing, lung breathing....Natural perspective.
Spiritually DEAD...IS any separation FROM GOD...Spiritual perspective.
The BIG PICTURE of Scriptural Teaching...in a nut shell...
IS: HOW TO:
Be Physically ALIVE...and Transform INTO Spiritually ALIVE, By, Through, Of the Power of God, expressly ACCORDING TO God.
^^^^ THAT Transformation ^^^ expressly according to God...
IS: first and foremost, By, Through, Of, and individuals Free-WILL-election/choice.
IS: a Transformation ^^^ THAT NO MAN, CAN PHYSICALLY SEE Occur or Observe thereafter.
I willingly GAVE MY “Body” unto DEATH, for the Lord God...
No man saw, my “physical body die”....irrelevant.
God SAW my body die, crucified with Christ Jesus.
God Restored, Saved my soul, and forever His Breath of Life, shall remain in my soul.
No man saw, my soul being restored, saved, or with God.
God Quickened my Natural spirit, WITH His Seed.
No man saw, my spirit receive Gods Seed, nor my spirit being born again with Gods Seed.
Gods Spirit dwells in me, with my new spirit.
No man saw, Gods Spirit enter me, and nor do men see His spirit dwelling In me.
I can tell other men of my choices, experiences and they can believe it or not....Which has no affect on me.
Yes.....Spiritually, my body, my soul, my spirit.....IS expressly in a one on one Acceptable Relationship with the Lord God Almighty.
Yes....Physically, my body, (can still be SEEN by others), and YES, no doubt...my physically body, thoughts, words, actions...SHALL be liked, disliked, accepted, rejected, criticized, agreed, disagreed...via others...
Yes...Physically, my body, MAY, Trespass AGAINST others...lie, cheat, steal, mislead......................with INTENT........or WITHOUT INTENT.
Lying, cheating, stealing, misleading......has always, will always, Occur between men......For the simply reason...MEN ARE NOT ALL KNOWING.
The words, lying, cheating, stealing ARE the harsh hard core words that immediately provoke “accusations and finger pointing”.
Fact is EVERYONE lies, cheats, steals...Say you will do this and don’t...
A Lie...Say everything is going smoothly and it isn’t ... A Lie..
Borrow money, a pen, whatever and not return it...A Steal...;
Receive too much change, too man bagged items...A Cheat...
Saved men do not BECOME Perfect. However they DO Become Equipped with the Power (tools if you will), on HOW to minimize Conflict Between and Among men.
* How TO; Address, Avoid, Repair, Forgive, Accept Forgiveness....
OF Trespasses OF and BETWEEN Men.
^ THAT is not a MIRACLE instant Perfected behavior...(that occurs when one Becomes Converted.)
RATHER, that is an ON-GOING “effort”, for as long as that (Converted) individual remains ALIVE in his flesh.
Only you can ANSWER, for yourself, your own perspective of or if you have a one on one Secure Relationship with God...(Me, yes I do.)
AND;
If your perspective of any Negative behaviors between and among men, Constitutes, the meaning of SIN...(in my perspective, No, it does not.)
Sin.....in my perspective is ABOUT with or without God.
Trespasses...in my perspective is ABOUT behaviors among men.
Hope that helps,
