Lionheart, "senseless wranglings" have to do with the Law and untruths about Christ, His death and resurrection. I would hope that someone would correct me if I stray into this. I come to this forum mostly to read posts and learn. There are some topics which I am more passionate about mostly because this is more my calling and how God geared me. I would think most on here are teachers, and are very passionate (sentimental) about that. Many are evangelists (we are all called to be) and I don't think they could spend five minutes on here before needing to call someone and tell them about Christ, while others are to busy thinking about how the chairs are to be set up for tonight's service (if you disagree with that guy, prepare to get an earful). God gifted all of us and made us passionate about that calling, but if I came off as arrogant or having an attitude, I apologize to those whom I've offended. I do tend to boast about what God is doing in and through my life, sometimes it comes across like I am boasting in myself (not good). I like to think He uses me just because He likes me :) In Love, Mike |

Doc, Thank you for taking the time to respond. When I first read it my instinct was to ask questions as to the first two sentences, "We do not, of course, as believers, live by methods. Instead, we live by every Word of God. Ours is a life of relationship, not a life of technique. Relationship cannot be boiled down into steps, methods, keys, or techniques". This however is obviously my pride. Anyways, thank you I have checked out the website and will do some of the courses. Mike R |

44 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | 2 Tim 2:15 | strts5 | 215048 | ||
I was looking for other scripture or input that the Holy Spirit convicts Christians of Righteousness and NOT sin. Are there other verses that also say this? | ||||||
45 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | 2 Tim 2:15 | strts5 | 215050 | ||
...It is to YOUR advantage that I go away... ...go to My Father and YOU see Me no more... Clearly verse 10 is the subject of the audience, those that do believe. So, does the Holy Spirit point out our sins to us, or does He point out our Righteousness? |

I don't think I will get any fans here, but Matthew Henry is wrong according to the verse. In the verse it says He convicts the world of sin and the only sin that is mentioned is the sin of not knowing Christ. I think I will keep it simple and not add anything that that is not there or implied. So again, does the Holy Spirit ever convict anyone of any sin other than not knowing Christ. This would obviously not include Christians and implies the Holy Spirit only convicts us of our Righteousness which only comes from Christ and not of ourselves but is ours never the less. Not by anything we have accomplished of ourselves. What I am attempting to achieve here is a polar shift in my faith. I have always felt guilty for a sin I committed and thought it was "the conviction of the Holy Spirit". After a proper reading of this verse I now know I was wrong and that is not the Holy Spirit! |

Can you give me scripture references? I am trying to make up my mind, but I am leaning toward my statement. I want to know where it says we must confess our sins in order to be forgiven, that sounds like works because it is dependent on us. I am absolutely not saying we should continue in sin, only that we are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus regardless of whether we confess. Are you saying we are then unrighteous until we confess each and every sin. That would be like trying to live under the law, then you have to follow the law perfectly and would end up in one continual act of confession. What freedom and joy is there in that where if we forget to confess a sin we are condemned? I think we are all toast then! Have you confessed ALL your sins? Mike |

Can you give me any scripture that says the Holy Spirit points out our sin? If God not only forgives sin, but also forgets them, who is reminding you of yours? Is God divided against Himself? Is this scriptural or is it a tradition of man? | ||||||
49 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | 2 Tim 2:15 | strts5 | 215082 | ||
OK, I read it in context, and the context says, John 16:8-11 8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. any questions on verse 9? Clearly the Holy Spirit does not condemn the Church because we do believe in Him! |

David was under the Law we are not. "John Darby another respected Bible commentator says in his commentary regarding John ch 16:7-11 "No doubt every one shall answer for his sins; and the Holy Ghost makes me feel them." John Darby" I have an Advocate in court, God will not see my sins, but Christs Righteousness! I have no clue what John Darby is talking about. As far as the Righteousness of Christ being ours, I did not mean our own righteousness but that His has been imparted to us and now we walk in it. It is the gift of Righteousness, he gave it to us, we did not earn it, at any rate it is now ours. Or am I mistakes here? "Does the Holy Spirit convict the Christian of sin? It is the testimony of countless Christians that this is indeed the case. And in my case, if the Holy Spirit should stop convicting me of sin I would drop to my knees and plead to God to give it back to me, so that I would know my sins, and repent of them, so that I may walk in His ways. There is no Scripture that I know of that specifically says the Holy Spirit convicts the Christian of their sin. But the council of Scripture does imply it, and the testimony of spirit lead Christians confirms it." Christians believe lots of things that are not true. Unless you can give me a single scripture that says the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, I'm not going to buy it. I can find plenty that say He convicts us of Righteousness. That to me is much more comforting. Jesus tells a parable that declares Gods heart on the subject, the parable of the prodigal son? Where in the story does the father require the son to ask for forgiveness. Furthermore, at what point does the son express sorrow for his sins? I believe Christ knows the Fathers heart best. I have read 1 John several times and won't discount ANY scripture. I do believe in confession for Sanctification and not salvation. Mike |

51 | Rev 3:15-16 | Revelation | strts5 | 215188 | ||
John, Thanks. The teaching was wonderful, I just felt this verse to be a bit of a stretch to use to make the point. (It is a pet peeve of mine and all preachers do it from time to time. They have a great teaching and then back it up with a verse that leaves me scratching my head, especially when there are plenty of verses that say it so much better). I wanted to know if this was a general understanding of these verses. A little more specifically he was saying that to be hot was to be under Grace and to be cold was to be under the Law. Luke warm was a mixture of the two. The reason God would rather you be cold is at least then you would see your need for Christ, you not being able to fulfill the Law. The person goes on to say that Paul gives the Judaizers at Galatia a stronger rebuke because of this mixing the Law with Grace than he does of Corinth for their sinful behavior. This is why God will spew them out of His mouth because to be lukewarm they have nullified Grace, but the at least in Corinth they are still under Grace. In Love, Mike PS This is as close as I can come to not cut and paste of copyright materiel |

52 | Glorious church? | Rev 1:11 | strts5 | 206125 | ||
Thank you and I agree. I think my point was all to often I feel like christians both from the pew and the pulpit describe the church like a third world country raveged by plague and starvation. I am starting to think we need to start seeing the church here and now as the beautiful bride of Christ that it is. Stop attempting to treat the field of wheat like its all tares. I'm kind of on a rant, a little frustrated. In love, Mike |
