1 | Can we be truely sinless and not perfect | Heb 4:15 | RWC | 4758 | ||
Do I understand correctly from your comment that you believe that you are now in fact sinless but not yet perfect? If so, I am afraid that I would have to disagree with you. Anyone who is a member of God's family (and still in this world) will one day be made perfectly sinless. For now though, we are only "declared" perfectly sinless because of the blood of Jesus. The full reality of that declaration is a future event. I am struggling with your comment that the "flesh is imperfect." Certainly that is true, but it sounds as though you may be implying that the root of our sinfulness is found in our physical body (flesh) and that this is what Jesus had to overcome. Again, if that is what you mean, then I must disagree. Sin (sinfulness) is primarily a spiritual matter, not a physical problem. Death does mean separation. But that is a Biblical concept, not a Greek one or one based on the Greek language. As I understand it, there are two kinds of death: physical and spiritual. Physical death is the separation of the body (flesh) from the spirit (soul). Spiritual death is the separation of the spirit (soul) from God. The little girl that Jesus raised from the dead was very dead at least physically, and perhaps spiritually as well. Jesus made the same comment about Lazarus, and then proceeded to say that he (Lazarus) was actually dead. Did Jesus mean that the little girl was not separated from God but that Lazarus was? And regarding your comment about Jesus dying separated from the Father, I would have agreed with you up until a couple of weeks ago. But I recently read a very thought provoking article on a website. And now I have to re-think this. The link to this article is below. http://answers.org/Theology/forsaken.html |

2 | Can we be truely sinless and not perfect | Heb 4:15 | melchizedekau | 4785 | ||
Why do you not understand that this is the what Christ died for.Why did He have to be the first born of many bretheren? Christ died a man just like you and me.Jesus suffered like a man so just like you and me didnt have to . Jesus justified you ,just as though you never sinned. The Flesh is weak but the Spirit is willing .What is sin and why dont you think it is possible to be without sin? Any thing that is not of faith is sin. If we walk in the spirit we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.1 john 2:16 tells us what is not Gods so that we can aviod the sins.Lusts of the FLESH ,lusts of the EYES,and the PRIDE of LIFE.all fleshly, strange isnt it? I presume you have never laid hands on someone in the name of Jesus and seen them healed. If jesus wasnt a man ,which he is, why did he suffer like we do? . His words on the cross were ,Father why has thou fosaken me, God could not look on sin. Even the Clouds covered up the sight from the heavens. Gods dont die. Gods dont sweat blood in desperation then to surrender His will to the fathers. All these things men suffer,James 1 :14 states you are tempted when you are drawn away through your own lusts, Jesus was tempted with His needs,bread cause He was fasting and Power cause He knew who He was. Jesus went to the utermost temptation so we could have a way of escape because we are not tempted above what we are able. We are only tempted from what is in us ,and when we over come the temptation goes away. If we submit ourselves to God and resist the devil he shall flee. I ask you have you resisted temptation to the point of sweating blood? no me either, Jesus went all the way so we didnt have to. He made the road so that we could follow. Jesus said Be thou perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect.why would Jesus say such a thing if it were not possible? Do you not conceive that is possible to walk in that same ministering anointing that Jesus had. Isnt that the Fulness of God? LOVE. Isaiah 7:9 states If you do not believe surely you will not be established. Jesus said ;All things are possible to those that believe. Colossians 3:14 Love is the Bond of Perfection. read John 11:11 Jesus states that Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up. the same as the little Girl. YIC. |
