Reader,

Your mind is not your body.

So, when you say that the "Body sins"....... that is in fact, not the case.
See, if i put you in a chemically induced coma, does your body sin?
But if i leave you mind fully operational, does your body sin?

Jesus said your mind and heart sins when you look upon a woman for lustful reasons.
The battlefield is always in the mind...
Your body didnt see the woman....
Through Your Eyes, and into your mind and your imagination is where most SIN LIVES., as its where the temptation occurs.
This is not your body. See, you direct your body to commit a carnal deed that your mind is lusting to commit...in your heart.

The body is dead because of SIN, not because of a sinning body.

So the issue that many have is that they have yet to understand... ... = God does not see your dead body as the real you, and He does not see your mind as the real you, once you are born again. And that is why Paul tells you to renew your mind because its a wrong fit and a wrong match within your Christianity, until you renew it.
An un-renewed mind is a carnal mind and a carnal mind is an enemy of God's Knowledge, ways, life, and truth.
Romans 8... """""
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God""""
Most never do renew their mind....unfortunately.

Listen,
After you are born again, God sees the "new creation" "in Christ" as the only you, because it is the only you He has born again.
And until a believer gets that same mind that God has concerning how God sees the "born again", then they see themselves according to their wrong (carnal) mind.

Christianity is forgiveness of sin, eternal life, and the new creation in Christ who is "one with God"., as born again.
The reason we get a new body, is because the Born Again Spirit can't use the dead one that is currently going to the grave.

1 John 1:9 says that if we say we have no sin, we are in darkness, deception, ect.

1 John 3:9 , same apostle, says, we can't sin.

That's not a mistranslation.
That is the apostle talking to unbelievers in one verse and to the born again in the 2nd verse.

And its this type of inability to discern the bible, the NT, that traps most Christians into 1 John 1, ..while the few who understand that being born again is to be "made righteous" or SIN FREE....."made free from Sin"...Romans 6:18....then read 1 John 3:9 and get really happy.

Now, a lack of spiritual discernment, combined with the very nature of self righteousness, (carnal mind) keeps 95% of real believers stuck in this verse.

= Hebrews 6:1.....

Paul is teaching, and he's telling us to GET OUT OF THE Theological and Spiritual BABY DIAPERS.

Look at them..
This is the baby christian theology He's talking about, or its the Religious but lost.. As in both cases they speak the same ga ga ga ga gal.. baby speak.

"""""Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,""""""


Did you read it reader?
The verse just explained "baby christian mind/theology"......>It says the baby will not go on to perfection.....PERFECTION......they will instead keep laying the foundation of repentance from dead works.

Dead works are "thats a sin"......its confessing sin....repenting repenting, and repeat......and the verse just told you to get off that baby food, and grow up.

Then the verse says...... "and of faith toward God". And what is that? That is.... never really understanding Faith, and being stuck in self righteousness (carnal mindedness) that will always deny being "made righteous" and Kept Righteous by Jesus's Blood and Death.

See those 2?

Those are the "first principles".....the baby steps, the first few months of your Christianity....diaper stage......Crib baby... and all the born again are supposed to quicktly understand some thing about repenting, sin, and faith., and leave all that and GROW.

= Most do not.
So reader, dont be one of those.
Find a good teacher, and pay attention, and let them take you on to Perfection.


- God bless.
