Sin is never conquered. But, in order to combat it one thing to do is ask the Lord to assist you with your temptations ... first thing in the morning ... and thru the day. I highly suggest you do not say we can be without sin, as you have posted ... for someone should stand up and challenge you, at that time. I would. |

Greetings Searcher! We usually agree, so I thought it was about time that we disagreed for a change! :-) I believe that the power of sin is broken in Christ. I do not mean by this that it is impossible for a Christian to sin, by no means. But, I do believe (if we are constantly yielded to the Holy Spirit) that it is possible for us not to sin. I base this, in part, on Rom. 6. It says there of believers that: · We died to sin - Rom. 6:2. · Our old nature was crucified with Him - Rom. 6:6. · We are no longer slaves to sin - Rom. 6:6. · We are not to let sin reign in our mortal bodies - Rom. 6:12. · Sin shall not be our master - Rom. 6:14. · We have been set free from sin - Rom. 6:18. If Christians are incapable of holiness, then in what sense did we die to sin? In what sense, are we no longer it's slaves? If it is not possible to avoid sin, how can Paul command us not to yield to it? I just wanted to get your take on this my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Scripture ... Rom 6:1-7:25 ... My brother Tim, It may be semantics. We still struggle with sin, we have not beat it, otherwise we would not sin, we would be perfect. Maybe the context is bigger. What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? (6:1-2a) ... while we died to sin (6:2c), we continue to do so. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! (6:15) Then in 7:14-25. Paul says there is a conflict. We will be tempted and fall. Searcher |

Greetings Searcher! Thanks for the response my friend! I don't see Rom. 7:14-25 as normative for the Christian life. It is my view that Paul is describing himself before he was a Christian. As a Pharisee, he could not do what he wanted, but as a Christian, he has been set free from the Law of sin and death. I do agree that there is probably an element of semantics involved. But, I also tend to think that we have often downplayed the power of Christ in our lives as well. Rom. 6 seems to me to say that while we can still sin, the power of sin has been broken and we no longer have to let it be our master. Well, I have to get some sleep before I go to work. I appreciate you and your contributions to the forum my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
