Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

[ScottA]

You can't hold your own thoughts as from God, but find the scriptures that verify those thoughts. I also am taught by God. But what I learn is always verified by His written word.

Indeed, everything [actually] from God is verifiable in the scriptures. However, all who are sent verify His word given to them by the scriptures. To the contrary, we either "hear what the Spirit says", or not.

Now, having said that--I know that it is helpful to have chapter and verse...and I do often include them and\or the scriptures in quotes. But I do not withhold anything to do so--for some things are given again not as first given and quotable. Many repeated messages from God are a completely different approach or means. Each generation has the same matters set before them, in as many ways as there are people. God meets us where we are. Even so, I like the quotes too, and therefore often include them.

 

[Episkopos]

The sin nature is crucified, but then resurrected. It is clean. And I have experienced the cross to that depth. Have you?

What do you mean by "is". Are you talking "positionally" or theoretically? The cross takes the outer man out of the way.

I have been cut in the heart so that I walked like a dead man for a week or so. It was the same experience as a certain Theresa of Avila.

I heard a voice from above that said "the countenance of God is passing over you". And then a hand held me down and a knife cut into my heart. Before that I wept cried out for 3 times...not knowing why. Very strange...but powerful.

But I also know the detached walk whereby I'm part way outside myself IF I try to understand what's going on. Otherwise I was in the inner man very centered and empowered. It's only when I tried to understand what was happening that I saw myself from outside.

Too many experiences to recount.

For a Christian...that is indeed true. As a christian I have been washed by the blood of Christ, nailed all of my sins to the cross with Him....That is, all of my sins past, present and future have been imputed to Christ Jesus and His righteousness has been imputed to me.

That sounds a lot like a Gospel Word.
Let's hope it's well received.
Praise the Lord.
