1 | Who needs to repent? | 2 Pet 3:9 | prophet ezra brown | 32182 | ||
GOD IS CALLING FOR EVERYONE TO REPENT REMEMBER WHAT IS SAID IN ROMANS ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD THAT MEENS THE BELIEVER AND THE UNBELIEVER MUST REPENT DAILY FOR SOME WAY THAT WE HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF GODS GLORY BECAUSE WE ARE YET IN THE FLESH THE ONLY REAL WAY NOT TO AIR IS TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT WHICH MEENS YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR SELF TO GOD IN OBEDIENCE TO HIS WILL(WORD). | ||||||
2 | Who needs to repent? | 2 Pet 3:9 | benjamite | 32196 | ||
In the context, repentance is in contrast to perishing. As believers, we don't have to worry about perishing. I see this kind of repentance as permanent. John 3:16 says that believers "shall not perish". (see also John 10:27-28 and 1 Cor. 1:18). It is that kind of repentance we are dealing with here, one which keeps us from perishing. You mentioned Romans 3:23-24, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;" I am saved. I am a believer. God has declared me righteous. By His grace, Romans 3:23 doesn't apply to me, positionally, anymore. My sins have been passed over (Romans 3:25). Can you imagine that? "There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death." (Rom. 8:1-2) Do we still sin? Of course, but we won't perish. 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." |

YOU ARE RIGHT WE HAVE TO DIE TO OUR FLESH DAILY BY THE WORD THAT IS HOW WE STAY FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH | ||||||
4 | Who needs to repent? | 2 Pet 3:9 | benjamite | 32301 | ||
I appreciate you saying that I am right, but that is not what I said. Romans 8:2, in the NASB, says "The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus HAS SET you free from the law of sin and of death." It is not a future event. It has already happened. WE ARE FREE from the law of sin and of death. God did it, Himself. Note Romans 8:3-4, "For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, GOD DID: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, HE CONDEMNED SIN IN THE FLESH, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:3-4, NASB, emphasis mine). We still sin but we are not under the law of sin and death. We won't perish. We are free from that law. That's the point. (see also John 3:16, 10:27-28, 1 Cor 1:18). |

galatians6:24 and they that are christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. | ||||||
6 | Who needs to repent? | 2 Pet 3:9 | benjamite | 32458 | ||
Amen. Likewise, Romans 6:1-2 says that we died to sin. How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Also Galatians 2:20 says that we have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer us, but Christ lives in us. We won't perish. Praise the Lord! |

7 | Who needs to repent? | 2 Pet 3:9 | prophet ezra brown | 32548 | ||
THAT IS RIGHT BUT WE ALSO MUST UNDERSTAND THAT EVEN CHRIST SPOKE THE WORD TO KEEP HIM SELF FORM SIN NO ONE MAN IS PEFERCT I BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE REACH THE MARK THAT GOD HAS SET FOR US AND WE ARE LIKE ENOCH THEN WE WILL BE PRESENT WITH HIM. THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT TO BE ABESENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WILL THE LORD. | ||||||

Brother Ezra, It is true that we are to be holy as He is holy, (the "mark that God has set for us") (1 Peter 1:15-16). We won't reach that mark until glory (Phil 1:6). As I have said before, that is not what 2 Peter 3:9 is dealing with. However it happened, we know that Christ did not sin. He was (and still is) perfect, without spot. (1 Peter 1:18-19). As believers, in our position, we are perfect. We have been justified (declared righteous), Romans 3:23-26. Also read Romans 8:29-30. Positionally, we have been "glorified". Why do you mention Enoch? He was almost unique in that He did not die. (Gen 5:24; Heb 11:5) All others, unbelievers and believers alike, up until now, with the exception of Elijah, have died. Benjamite |

That was my example of a real relationship with God walking with him. We are not perfect in or state as believers justified yes made perfect no John the apostle even declared that after all that had been reveled unto him and all that he saw and foretold that he had not yet arrived. check your bible again not to be judgemental but i believe that if we as believers even get the idea that we are justified unto perfection then we will miss God the realness of knowing he to know him like paul like Elijah like Enoch like Elisha like Jehu this is how we should want to know God but in our own way we should know him we should have our own experience with him to know him for our self we must have a God is God to me Experience. | ||||||

We could continue to argue back and forth, but unless what we say can be supported by scripture, what we say about the things of God is not right. What you have said, here, troubles me - more for your sake than for mine. I trust you've read the references I gave you. To what extent are we justified? How precious is the blood of Christ? Since you trust experience, in my experience, Romans 4:25 speaks of "He who was delivered up because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification." If we are not "justified unto perfection", if we have not been totally and completely declared righteous, then Christ is still dead, and we have no business before the throne of grace. (Hebrews 4:14-16) In my experience, Romans 5:9 says, "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him." By Christ's death, we have been justified--fully and completely declared righteous. Christ rose from the dead as proof of that, and therefore I can know Him. How do we come to know God? Whose doing is/was this? 1 Corinthians 1:21-31 How do we come to know God? How do we come to be known by God? Galatians 4:8-11 Did Paul know Christ? How? Philippians 3:7-11 What does Paul mean by Philippians 3:15-16? What does John mean in 1 John 4:13-15? How do we abide in God? Has God not given us understanding to know Him? 1 John 5:19-20 Brother Ezra, you know I've checked my Bible. I've given you scripture reference after scripture reference to support what I am trying to tell you. For now, I'm done. Feel free to have the last word here. If you'd like, feel free to email me.

Dear friend it is not the scripture that i don't get it is your understanding being made righteous and being justified does not mean we are perfect.Because we are human we still err but we have grace if we are perfect there would be no need for grace or the new mercies we see every day if we are perfect than 2corinthians7:1 Having therefore these promises,dearly beloved,let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,perfecting holiness in the fear of God.Please dear believer i would that you look and seek God for an understanding remember in all thy getting get an understanding. | ||||||
