Newsflash - you aren't Christ.

1 John
the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not
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
we are in him
in his Son Jesus Christ

I did all of what you write above years ago. There's no more fighting with the old dead nature I was born in from Adam. I'm now in Christ.

You are already in Christ, when we are saved, that’s when the battle begins....Spirit verses flesh.

What do you mean,you did that years ago?

So, are you saying your flesh was once in battle with the Spirit?

Are you saying it isn’t now?

i too am learning, trying to understand you, asking the Lord to help me understand your posts.

 

can you explain Galatians, 5:17.

Anyone? Can you explain it to me and it’s meaning?...thank you.

I also believe you to be correct but I will bet you my car that this kind of love brought in a bunch of wrong thinking people really fast looking for a hand out.

I'm sure they took care of the poor and indigent, just like Jesus did.

When I was new to the Bible is when I had not yet renewed my mind to that which is spiritual.

“ You” renewed your mind.....sorry Peter, you don’t renew your mind, the Holy Spirit, renews our minds....

Many of the responses here have have hit the nail on the head.  The key is love.  It stirs my heart to see others who see this clearly.  I love you for loving.  Peace to you.

1 Jno 4:16

And we have KNOWN and BELIEVED the LOVE that God hath to us.  God is LOVE, and he who dwelleth in LOVE, dwelleth in God, and God in him.  He knows if we have truly given all of ourself to him, and are living in him, and he in us.

A Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.  Love does not accuse his brother because satan is the accuser of the brethren.  Love does not speak evil of his brother.

Eph 4:29  Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Eph 4:30  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Eph 4:31  Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

Eph 4:32  Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Two reports on this thread, so I took time to hide a bunch of posts and quotes relating to the same.

Every time one individual makes a personal attack or making a comment assuming they know something about a brother they can't possibly know---it results in a cascade of the same.

No personal attacks allowed on this forum...period.

C'mon folks---restrain your passions to conform to the TOS and what pleases our Lord.

Two individuals have been banned from this thread as a result. This is a shame. Truly.

Be careful, because repeated transgressions will lead to being erased from the forum altogether. Nobody wants this.
