Then God is a sinner just like man then. If reduce God to literally dwelling,that is living inside your body, then you have to associate God as being a partaker of sin. And thats just not scriptural I don't care how you look at it. Habakkuk 1 13You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, And cannot look on wickedness. Jesus Christ was totally human. He was also totally God. He was fully human as we are and yet He was deity. And you say that it is possible to have part of the Godhead inside our mortal bodies? Noway! This is mans way of saying if "I" do something wrong, if "I" sin then thats ok its no big deal because the Holy Spirit is in "me" and "I'm" once saved always saved and everything is alright and so "I'm" going to keep on doing what "I" want to do!! Man thinks it's all about him, but its not. Haven't you ever heard someone say, "He's got his daddy in him" or "she's got her mother in her". Well we know the are not really inside one another, but its their attributes that make them seem just like each other. And that is what God wants and has said. 1 John 1 Fellowship with Him and One Another 5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the TRUTH IS NOT IN US. 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and HIS WORD IS NOT IN US. 1 John 3 9Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for HIS SEED REMAINS IN HIM; and he cannot sin,(CONTINUE IN SIN) because he has been born of God. Luke 8 11 "Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. RAVEN |

You wrote: "Then God is a sinner just like man then. If reduce God to literally dwelling,that is living inside your body, then you have to associate God as being a partaker of sin. And thats just not scriptural I don't care how you look at it." Saying that God dwells in us is not the same as saying God IS us. But Paul does address the implications of us sinning as Spirit-indwelt believers: 'Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, "THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH." But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.' --1 Corinthians 6:15-20 Paul's whole point here is to ask how anyone could live immorally as a believer, since the Holy Spirit does indeed dwell in us. Paul compares our union with Christ, being one spirit with Him, in the same terms that he uses for the sexual intercourse between a person and a prostitute, where two beings are distinct, and yet united. Paul's line of reasoning here does not make any sense at all if we are NOT indwelt by the Spirit. You wrote: 'Jesus Christ was totally human. He was also totally God. He was fully human as we are and yet He was deity. And you say that it is possible to have part of the Godhead inside our mortal bodies?' It seems that the example you have given here is the prime example of how deity and humanity can co-exist in the same person. Now I am not the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is not me, but the Spirit can and does indwell the believer while remaining distinct from him. You wrote: 'This is mans way of saying if "I" do something wrong, if "I" sin then thats ok its no big deal because the Holy Spirit is in "me" and "I'm" once saved always saved and everything is alright and so "I'm" going to keep on doing what "I" want to do!!' That does not logically follow from the Spirit's indwelling. I believe the Bible when it says the Spirit indwells the believer; however, I am not an antinomian. The person with a consistent attitude like the one you mention above is demonstrating that he most likely does NOT have the Holy Spirit living in Him (i.e. not a true Christian). You wrote: 'Haven't you ever heard someone say, "He's got his daddy in him" or "she's got her mother in her". Well we know the are not really inside one another, but its their attributes that make them seem just like each other. And that is what God wants and has said.' No, that is not what is meant by the list of verses I cited before. The "attributes of God" do not dwell in the believer. The SPIRIT OF GOD dwells in the believer. To take a distinctly American colloquial expression like "He's got his daddy in her" and to apply it to the verses of Scripture is quite a reach, and makes no sense in the context of all those verses. --Joe! |
