People are always looking for the easiest way...the way that is easiest for the flesh to emulate. Romans 8 is very misunderstood by most. We have some great exhortations that are missed...but stand as real markers to the standard of the risen in Christ.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Verses like these are gobbledigook to the carnal man.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
But there is no excuse for missing a basic message as this...
but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
I know Richard interprets this verse as AFTER having committed a sin...he kills it with his spirit.
This is way out there of course...but how do others of the "faith only" (actually belief or opinion only) crowd explain away the truth of this!!!????
