What Christ did on the cross is a spirit-ual act to crucify the sin-nature. All in Adam have the sin nature, all in the second Adam do not have a sin nature they have the nature of God which is in Christ, to simple but hidden from the minds of the wise and prudent.
Why do we sin still as Christians...
First of all...Christian, a word standing alone, does not Expressly mean, a man Saved or Born Again.
The Correct Term for a man "Saved and Born again".... IS CONVERTED.
The Correct Term for a man "Saved and Born again IN CHRIST....
IS a "Converted Christian".
So, you wonder WHY DO "Christians" "STILL" sin?
I would say, BECAUSE they are NOT Converted in Christ.
Because the mind is not compatible with the new life, the new Christ in you nature
Here you IMPLY, you ARE speaking of a "CONVERTED CHRISTIAN"....
A man "CONVERTED IN CHRIST"...
A man according to you....who was able "TO BECOME" converted by and through Jesus' ACT..of crucifying the SIN-nature of a man.
WHAT CHIRST DID on the cross is a spirit-ual act to crucify the sin-nature.
Then you IMMEDIATELY reveal...according to your own words.......
A man Having BECOME CONVERTED...
IS FALSE CONVERSION...by your own words..
You say...Christ's ACT of crucifying the SIN NATURE...FAILED...and the MAN himself "continues" TO SIN.
Then you say...THE EXCUSE...for Christ's Crucifixion having FAILED...IS...Because of the mans MIND.
THAT my friend IS WORLDLY TEACHING!
Christ's ACT of crucifixion OF HIS BODY, is AN OFFERING, that ANY MAN can ACCEPT, and THUS, the ACCePTANCE of Christ's ACT, becomes APPILIED TO, the mans OWN BODY.
ANY man WHO, ACCEPTS Christ's OFFERING,
RECEIVES, THE SEED OF GOD.....AND IS "NO LONGER" ....."ABEL TO COMMIT SIN."
In essence, You are MAKING a mans MIND, more POWERFUL, than Gods SPIRIT, within the man.
You are teaching, a Contradiction TO Scripture... I disagree with your teaching.
1 John 3:9
[
9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Glory to God,
