AndrewAD,

The point is none of us are perfect are we?

Those who believe Scripture believe differently as they know those who live by the Spirit do not sin.

Either Paul lied or it is possible to put on the new man created like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Get the hunger and thirst for righteousness and you will seek it until you…[Read more]

Gene,

John said if we say we have no sin we are liars, and Paul , also said that good i would do, i do not but that evil i would not do that i do. O wretched man that i am, who can deliever me from this body of death.

These are just passages that are misused by those who love darkness and therefore will not come into the light.

So according…[Read more]

Andrew,

The life I now live in my still sinful flesh I live by faith.

James would say your faith is dead because faith without works is dead. (James 2:17, 20, 26)

The only mention I find in Scripture of sinful flesh is Roman 8:3 and there it speaks of Jesus being sent in the likeness of it.

Paul in agreement with James teaches us is “the…[Read more]

DavidL,

You contradict yourself constantly about reasoning and so I get the idea you have no idea what you are speaking of. You cannot compare two scriptures to each other unless you use reasoning.

Paul is recorded as reasoning using Scriptures in Acts 17:2. You have lied repeatedly and it is necessary for you to realize this is so in order…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi KW,

When Adam submitted to the serpent he received the inheritance of sin in the flesh.

To be freed he need to repent of his idolatry and by the help of the promised Spirit become an overcomer.

That is about the way I understand it. I do not think we should understand the words flesh in a literal manner.

DavidL

Colossians says, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things have been created through Him and for Him.…”

This is a passage that I am not quite sure of…[Read more]

DavidL,

again, if God has no outer form.. then who did Moses see on mount Sinai, that told him, “Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen.”..??

Paul teaches us that the Law of Moses was given by angels in Galatians 3:19 and the writer of Hebrews agrees with the words in chapter 2:2 of that book.

DavidL,

Scripture tells us that man was created upright and then went in search of many schemes. Humanity was created in the inner form of God but rebelled and so corrupted that form. Jesus sacrificed himself that humanity would return to that form, a form he, himself bore.

Even if God had an outer form it is not what is important to the…[Read more]

Carmel,

God created space and time. Space is the dimensions of height, length, and width. My body occupies those three dimensions as does anyone else s. To believe God has a body then you must also believe that the three dimensions of space have always existed for that body to exist.

Angels are not always hidden from the sight of humans. In…[Read more]

Gene,

Romans 7 is complicated enough without people focussing on what their soulish nature want to hear and ommiting that part which they do not not want to hear.

Romans 7:8-10Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

8 But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

9…

Gene,

The words “dead to” mean “cut off from” just death cuts those that die off from the living. That is what Paul states ‘since we are dead to sin how shall we keep living in it’ (Romans 6:2).

Carmel,

Jesus is still like his brothers because because came to save his fellow human beings. He did not come save angels or God himself as some claim without realizing it. Scripture literally teaches us that there is one human being that mediated between God and humankind and that he is Jesus Christ who chose to sacrifice his mortal life that…[Read more]

DavidH,

Jesus constantly spoke in ways that Spiritual and so hard to understand for those who do not look at them in Spiritual ways.

If you believe what Jesus stated then you also believe that any full mature believer can say “I and the Father are one”, “I and Jesus are one”, or “I am one with the Father and Jesus”. I cannot say any of those…[Read more]

DavidL,

“Before Abraham was born, I AM.”…?

Experts argue over this line. I assume you have for your own reasons picked these experts.

Your version is bad English translated from good Koine Greek. If the translators were consistent in this type of translation I would believe it was their dialect. As it is their choices make it look like…[Read more]

DavidL,

Yet who is there that can say, “I and the Father are One.” ..?

Jesus also said “that they may be one, even as we are one” in John 17:22

Nick,

Repent and be baptised for the forgiveness of sins.

Repent and be immersed for the forgiveness of sins is John the Baptist’s message.

The message of the new covenant is “repent and be immersed in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”

Nick,

You cannot follow either Moses or John the Baptist without following Jesus because not teach their followers to follow Jesus.

Bodhitharta,

You did indeed use the proper attribution mark. Thank you!

DavidL,

Jesus said, “If you have seen Me you have seen the Father.”

That is because Jesus lives by the Spirit of God and so his actions are God’s actions. He and God are part of the unity of the Spirit. If you are to meet a fully mature Christian then you will see Jesus because you see them. If you see a man that is living according to the…[Read more]

Bodhitharta,

are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

Those that hunger and thirst for righteousness are unable to truly believe it is wrong to do the works of righteousness because to them it is like starving themselves to death to not seek God’s righteousness.
