When Jesus "took away" your sin, did He leave behind the source, the sin nature?

Of course a born again does not sin intentional, but what about the not intentional sins.
I just explained that in the post you are responding to. Unintentional sins are immature fruit that you commit while walking in the Spirit. Jesus acts also as the Finisher of our faith maturing the fruit of the Spirit and 1 John 1:7 is only about the cleansing of unintentional sins. Read my post again and see if you can comprehend what I wrote.

Here is what I wrote.

When I sin, do I ask for forgiveness? Haven't you been listening??? WHAT SIN? Don't you know that 1 John 1:9 is the same as Acts 2:38 Repent,...and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." It is to become saved and not commit willful sin, only unintentional that you don't know about so can't ask for forgiveness and 1 John 1:7 says that Jesus forgives and cleanses them automatically, as long as you are walking in the Spirit. A born again Christian does not sin intentionally. But most modern Laodecian Christians ask this question, because they find they need to ask forgiveness everyday because their sin nature has not been taken away. That is why they are lukewarm, and God is going to vomit them out of His mouth.

Is there such a sin as not doing something. I know the obvious like theft, murder, fornication ect are wrong and really even a non Christian will know this deep down.

But what about not feeding the hungry or helping someone. It seems to me the biggest sin in western Christian nations is not sacrificing all for Gods kingdom. Holding on to this world and being a cultural Christian.

Also I think our sinful nature has something to do with our natural human instincts. Lust stems from our instinct to mate. Its a matter of living in love and the spirit that keeps that instinct in check. Without Gods spirit it can be expressed in evil ways.

The same with gluttony which stems from the natural instinct to seek sustegen to survive. But can become extreme if not overcome. In fact by living completely in the spirit of God we can rise above the physical body such as with fasting or celibacy.

This is false.

Galatians 5:16 KJV
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:22-25 KJV
22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23) Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24) And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Temperance, that is, self control.

If you walk in the Spirit, you do not fulfill fleshy lusts.

Sin is sin. You cannot truthfully say you do not sin when all you've done is reclassifiy some sins as "OK", and now they don't count.

Much love!

that would be called watering down the law.. they water it down so they can make themselves believe they keep it. when in reality, they have failed.

No one accidently sins unless they do not realise somethign is a sin.. All sin is on purpose..

If the sin nature or nature to sin was removed, we would be perfect. no sin period. we would be like we will be when ressurected..

And what of the flesh? If we are to crucify the flesh daily, by implication, the flesh is still very much alive. Paul made claims to a clear conscience, he also made it quite clear that there was a law in his members that when he desired to do good, evil was ever present.

The body of death he called it.

The soul and spirit have been divided, but they remain housed within the same body of flesh. Treasure in an earthen vessel.

As long as the spirit and soul of man is housed in this body of death, we will continue to sin.
you almost and i do mean almost had the fattest heart of agreement . man was i ready
to put a dozen hearts on this post .
Till i read the last five words .
Now i aint saying that christains dont slip into sin . BUT the POWER of the indwelling SPIRIT
is a GOD , CHRIST GIVEN POWER
that if one would only heed they would not obey the lusts of that there f lesh you been speaking about .
Perhaps you ought to rewrite it as , AS LONG as the SPIRIT and soul of man is housed in this body of death ,
SIN will be ever present with us , BUT it dont mean we gots TO OBEY IT . how about THAT REMINDER .
that one would have a dozen likes of hearts on it . SIN needs to be seen as deadly and dangerous
and as a potential heart hardner against GOD . AND it must be rebuked so fast
the heads of all present would spin as do as merry go round on full force . But as for the rest you are correct .

SPOT ON RIGHT . i cant beleive that lady actually said that , unintentional sin is immature fruit .
really .
OH its fruit all right but its fruits be wicked .
SIN IS SIN . RIGhTLY STATED MY FRIEND . AND guess what is also sin
UNBELEIF IS . in fact its so deadly JESUS said IF YE BELIEVE NOT that I AM HE , THEN YOU SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS .
EVE entered into UNBELIEF the moment she BELEIVED the dark one and its lie of SURELY YE SHALL NOT PERISH .
Because GOD SAID THEY WOULD . and for me , IF GOD SAID IT , I BELIEVE IT .
AND THUS IF JESUS SAID IT , I BELIEVE IT .
hey mark , hey everyone , why are so many now BELEIVING in this ecumeincal interfatih plan
as THOUGH IT BE OF GOD . WHEN CLEARLY it has denied THE DIRE NEED TO BELIEVE ON JESUS .
WHEN clearly it was and is written we ought not to be unequally yoked with UNBELEIVERS .
JUST something this generation needs to direly and gravely be reminded about my friend .

what is odd is , WHY are you all following an ecumeincal intefaith of what i KNOW and absoltuley KNOW To be of many anti christs .
And why o why are so many beleiving in a love that wont correct sin in those churches .
AND WHY o why am i seeing a love getting embraced
that not only wont correct sins , but even h onors certain sins and , and UNBELIEF .
ANYONE wanna explain THAT ONE .

At this moment of writing I can not think of any sin I am guilty of, my conscience is clean. Does this mean I am sinless? Is there any guarantee I will never lose my temper? On both questions my answer is no. I have learned to not trust myself including feelings that may have the power to deceive me which certainly have happened to me in the past.
Actually, yes, it does make you sinless/righteous, as sinlessness has to do with the cleansing of all your PAST willful sins. Does it make you perfect. No, unless all of the fruit of the Spirit have been matured and Jesus has perfected you and you have forgiven everyone who has sinned against you.

You still have free will, and if once righteous/sinless you do not keep abiding in Jesus due to poor choices, and you have not matured in any of the fruit of the Spirit, you are blind and could easily fall into false doctrine and willful sin.

Well for now lets just say good about the first answer you left
and the third answer you left .
But lets look real closely at the second answer you left .
You said because the TWO greatest commanments are TO LOVE . AND RIGHT YOU ARE MY FRIEND .
but the love i see getting embraced IS the wrong love partner . ITs the love we ought to never
have , for if one has the love of the world , THEY HAVE NOT THE LOVE OF THE FATHER .
AND this is the type of love i have seen all over these churches .
DID you know that even satan can quoate the TWO GREAT COMMANDMENTS
but rest assured his verison IS GONNA CONTRADICT them .
YEAH . IT REALLY IS BIBLE TIME IN THE HOUSE , IN THE BUILDING , IN THE DIGITAL WORLD as well
as the world as well as the churches . cause many someones been following
the wrong one yet beleive as do a child its love IS OF GOD . its love GOD and its love your neighbor THEY BELIEVE IS OF GOD .
OH BUT IT BE OF SATAN . total proof that is their god and whom they love . WE better wakey wakey my friend
for if many do not .......... its into the fiery LAKEY LAKEY .
cause that is the path that many, many are now on .

Unintentional sins are NOT sins of the flesh. You still need to learn the difference. All lusts of the flesh are willful.

there is no such thing as inintentional sin. Unless you do not know it is a sin.. but even then, that sin is still sin.

I would pray you would stop excusing your sin

say not when ye are tempted that you are tempted of GOD
for every man is tempted by his own fleshly desires . again you dead wrong my sister .
ANY SIN cometh of the carnal nature and thus of the flesh .
NOT OF THE SPIRIT . but of the flesh .

even sin that is unknown is a sin because it comes from the flesh, and not from God.. so that is why we can not even excuse that.. If we loved as God commanded us to love in those two commands, we would not have done even that sin

i already know that . b ut as i said even the devil could quoate that . not saying you are the devil
but just saying .
SO
exactly WHOSE VERSION OF LOVE have we been following .
FOR MORE INFO on that
OPEN BIBLE and lets see whose words we have really been beleiving all along
and see if it has not rather been men who twisted and omitted certain words .
I already told you the devil can quoate any scripture in that bible .
but whose version are we gonna beleive obey and love . his or simply what GOD said , JESUS said
and later the apostels said . OR are we gonna omit such words in favor of
what many desire to be love , to be sold under the banner that times be a changing
and thus conforming to the world .
