"I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts." Ecc. 3:18
But then consider this:
"Wisdom... She hath killed her beasts..." Prov. 9:1-2
That is exactly what happens. What you call our "animal side" is also called "the old man" or "carnal nature."
Read Romans 6:6-7
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
Those who are born again have the seed of the Father. They also "keep" themselves by remaining pure, 1 John 3:3 and 1 John 5:18; 1 John 3:9, and 1 John 3:21-24. Jesus is the Kingdom, and we abide in Him, and He in us. Therefore the Kingdom of God (Jesus is God) is within us.
i'm impressed, you guys seem to be the rare ones that "get it". The following is directed at the sea of the lukewarm, can you give me some pointers?
JESUS Lived His whole Life Sinless ...i've only removed repeated sins for a year or so ...through Him!
Do you use the same excuse over and over again right before you sin? You gave into your animal side ...the beast.
Do you say, "oh, i have cherry picked Scripture, that i misinterpret, that says i can sin."?
Who do you think you are fooling?
You are either a Pillar of GOD'S Kingdom or you sin with self-idolatry for satan's kingdom (worldly babylon).
You are not a Child of GOD if you are sinning. HOLY SPIRIT Oil can't be in a corrupted Temple.
With JESUS as The Head of The Body of CHRIST, we use Him as a periscope to see beyond the veil of death (satan's kingdom / worldly babylon / self-idolatry).
You have no idea what i'm talking about when you have sin in your life. You eat from the wrong tree and blinded yourself.
Children of GOD can perceive The Narrow Path of SALVATION (The Kingdom of GOD / Tree of LIFE).
You pretend to be a Child ...when you are a tare. You can only handle the literal because GOD isn't Reading It to you. You are stuck on your animal side.
The whole reason this place exists if for GOD to find people His Presence can be around ...do you really think you have anything to do with that?
We are Reborn into The Body of CHRIST ...The Kingdom. What part of that statement sounds like sin is allowed?
What do you think satan is tempting you with? Obviously it is to fall out of The Holy Body ...to ruin your Image ...with some horns.
Does anyone get what it takes to actually hold The Reborn Image that SAVES?
How can JESUS Represent you on The Cross unless you have His Image (Blood)?
Do you want GOD to know you at Judgment or not?
The Garden is the mind ...temptation happens there. GOD Breathed an Image into Adam (us as a baby). sin ruins it, we need The Reborn Image CHRIST Made for us to pass this test.
How can any of you read Romans 6 and still think you are allowed to sin? Romans 6 :: King James Version (KJV)
