Ken, I have recieved a personal warning from The Lockman foundation cautioning against engaging in debates over theological perspectives. Therefore, for me to respond by defending Calvin would place my status on this forum in jeopardy. My advice is to stick to Bible Study and shun political and religious propaganda. I would not want you to lose your posting priveleges. John John |

2 | Is the sin nature substance or mind set? | Phil 3:9 | Pam D | 100412 | ||
Question (full): Please stop arguing with Ken and answer my questions. Is the sin nature a substance or a mindset? Has the sin nature been eradicated and replaced by the new nature? Or does the sin nature remain in the believer and battle against the new nature? Is the sin nature the same thing as the flesh? What is the new nature? Is it God in me or is it a part of me that is a new creation? Is the new nature a substance or a mind set? Blessings, Pam |

3 | Is the sin nature substance or mind set? | Phil 3:9 | John Reformed | 100425 | ||
Dear Pam, The sin nature is the inclination of man's heart toward that which is wicked. Before we were born again, we were slaves to sin and were captive to the devil to do his will (2 Tim 2:26). Christ has rescued us and freed us from our captivity. He has placed within us a new heart that is inclined toward good. Yet we still struggle against what is left (the remnants) of our old man's nature. Nevertheless we are to consider our old nature as dead and crucifed! The Bible does use the word "flesh" when speaking of our natural tendency to sin, but, please don't make the mistake of thinking that it means the body is evil in itself. God Himself created our fleshly bodies and said they were good. Am I on the right track? John |

Am I on the right track? You pose more questions than you ask like "Who is we"?, "How does Jesus give us a new heart"?, At what point in time does that happen"? Is that Justification or Sanctification"? "Progressive or instantanious"? "Who's nature is enabling me to win my battles, His or mine? "Battles over what [assuming no wickedness cause sin is more than just wickedness"] So what is it, some "magical wand waving thing" we do? Lets see some Bible in your answer contextually applied and not pet doctrine. |

Hello Ken As was mentioned earlier, how can someone engage you in conversation if you continue to make these nonsensical comments? Your statements and questions do not relate to John's posting. Steve |

[As was mentioned earlier, how can someone engage you in conversation if you continue to make these nonsensical comments? Your statements and questions do not relate to John's posting.] Then just don't tell me, SHOW me with something specific I've mis-quoted or mis-understood instead of presenting me with your untoward accusations. of being nonsensical. I personally feel his explanation "STUNK" and your remarks also.. |

Hello Ken, OK. You made the following comments: "Who is we"?, "How does Jesus give us a new heart"?, At what point in time does that happen"? Is that Justification or Sanctification"? "Progressive or instantanious"? "Who's nature is enabling me to win my battles, His or mine? "Battles over what [assuming no wickedness cause sin is more than just wickedness"] John never mentioned any of these in his posting. To what were your comments being made. There is no point of reference. Steve |
