You are.
You are twisting and misrepresenting what I said - again!
I'm showing you what you teach. You refuse to connect the dots.
We inherited a sinful nature from Adam -
Adam is not a maker of any flesh on earth. Only Christ. The Second Adam is not a Maker of sin nature in any flesh on earth.
Connect the dots.
or haven't heard that doctrine before?
Of course I have. It's your go-to doctrine to excuse your continued sinning, with the further perversion of blaming it on your body.
I am not you. As far as the east is from the west, I am not you.
ou twist and distort the integrity of my words, in essence bearing false witness against your neighbor, judging me.
So, agreeing with you offends you.
speak of a common fundamental doctrine: we are sinners (but by the grace of God, have been forgoven).
Yes you are, and by 'we' there must by many like you. Maybe legions of them.
Reminds me of the scripture that speaks of a self righteous man who prays to God and thanks God that he is not like the other wretched sinners and another man, the humble sinner prays for forgiveness.
If you're also a wretched sinner, then so be it. Wretched sinner.
Your Christ forgives sinning before and during the act of enmity with the true God. Not mine.
Spiritually cleansed but still have this unredeemed body, flesh where sin dwells.
Right. Inside good, outside bad. Your Christ makes sinners with the flesh. Not the true Christ of God, who makes all things good.
Connect the dots.
I said we are instantly sanctified (spiritually), but then we begin to grow and eventually bear fruit. So our minds, lives, behavior transforms.
Right. More good on the inside, evil on the outside. Got it.
As we feed on the nourishment of the Word, we grow to be more loving.
Wretch. So, you're loving me by telling me I must repent of doing righteousness, and go back to being like you.
Forget it. Hearing you makes me avoid being you more than the east is from the west.
We examine ourselves and grow more mature, in control of our actions.
No one is saying you are not becoming a better person by your Christianity. It's just that becoming a better more loving sinner is not the Christian pure religion of the Bible.
Sin means it is your fault whether you are saved or not.
Not if you keep blaming a sin-born body made by your Christ. Especially not by claiming your converted soul is clean within, while sinning against God without.
Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
We are all "like dirty rags", says the Lord.
And there you go. And you get so upset when I misquote your teaching, and say your life is still filthy rags to God.
Your works were filthy rags before your Christian religion conversion, and they still are.
I am not you, nor am I like you.
Study this verse. There is no way around it.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we are still sinning, and say we have no sin within us, there is no more truth remaining in us.
This verse pertains to you. You teach sinning and do it, and then say your soul is clean, by blaming your so-called sin-born body instead.
If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us."
1 John 1:8-10
If we sin, we can still repent and confess with godly sorrow unto forgiveness, and be washed clean unto salvation of the soul.
If the truth is in us, then we must claim to have sin.
Oh yes!! Thank you!! I've concluded this with others like you, and they get offended, but you have said it plainly.
You are
commanded by your gospel and Christ to always claim you have sin in you. You are
commanded to sin, so that you can truthfully claim to still have sin and lust in you.
Obedience to your gospel is to sin, so that you can claim it for yourself.
Perfect. I will save this quote of yours.
