Asis Is it dead? If you say it is then we can assume you never sin anymore. I guess that is pretty near prefectin. I thought that we won't get our perfected bodies until Heaven. Pual often stated his flesh did thing she didn't desire it to and didn't do things he desired it to. EdB |

Is the problem then just what does God say? Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. [KJV] The words are pretty clear. Reckon is an accounting term meaning to credit your account. I think we need an excuse for all the times we disobey the word of God. We find it very hard that God has made a way for us to walk in His righteousness. Didn't He say be holy because I am holy. I gather that He is telling us that in Christ we are holy. Not of our selves, not with our thinking but by the Spirit we have been created anew. We used to be in Adam but now we are in Christ becasue we believe. My body isn't perfected yet but I don't walk by the body I walk by the spirit (New Nature). My body is constantly warring with my new nature and sometimes I am silly enough to listen to listen to it. But God chastizes me, corrects me, to repentence and restores me because I still believe. I live in the new nature not the old. The life God wants us to live is not found in heaven but here on earth so He can continue doing His work. That life is IN HIM. I know that I am not perfect (complete) of my own. When I am in Him it is Him who is complete I am united with Him in His completeness. That is the profession of my faith. Am I that off base? (Hank I had to end this with a question. Hope you don't mind.) Another thought. Paul tells us that the power of sin is over our body and that that body died with Christ. He says that wioth his mind he wants to follow the law but his body is overcome by the power of sin. So withthe mind he desires to follow unto righteousness but with the body sin. Who can save me from this body of sin? JESUS CHRIST |

Asis Do you sin or not? In your post you seem to say you don't but then you say you do and God corrects you. So which is it? I'm not talking about our salvation, I'm saying at times we yield to the flesh and sin. Paul said he did, and we know Peter did by being a hypocrite before the gentiles and I know I do though I’m quick to repent. EdB |

EdB What makes you think I am any different. I am just like you. The point is that God has given us a new life. He has given all we need to live that life. Yet we choose to look at ourselves as helpless to live that life. Salvation is not just forgiveness of sins. It is that and deliverence from sin. Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? [KJV] Hebrews 10:19-27 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, [20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; [21] And having an high priest over the house of God; [22] Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. [23] Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) [24] And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: [25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. [26] For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, [27] But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. [KJV] Romans 5:12-21 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: [13] (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. [14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. [15] But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. [16] And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. [17] For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) [18] Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. [19] For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. [20] Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: [21] That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. [KJV] We have not allowed Christ's blood to purge our consience of sin. "We're sinners save by grace." I was a sinner BUT NOW I am a new creation saved by grace. It is by that grace (God's involvement in my life with all His power and His might even though I don't desreve it) that I am justified (made just as if sin never was) through faith in Jesus Christ. I am IN CHRIST by God's doing. My mind is being renewed by God through His word and the testings of my faith into the image of His Son. God's promises are a reality in Christ. This is for now not for when I get to heaven. God has equipped us to live the life He has called us to live. Walk by the spirit/Spirit. We are the ones who get in the way. Asis |

Asis So your saying you sin but you just ignore it? The question was asked what part do we play in our sanctification I said we must walk toward holiness resisting the lust of the flesh. You wrote saying we are dead to sin which to me says your claiming you no longer sin. I then asked do you sin or not. Your reply makes you think I’m different than everyone else. My question then is since everyone else sins, then I assume you sin. However you said that wasn’t the point the point was we gave us new life. Later you said, “We have not allowed Christ's blood to purge our consience of sin. "We're sinners save by grace." I was a sinner BUT NOW I am a new creation saved by grace. It is by that grace (God's involvement in my life with all His power and His might even though I don't desreve it) that I am justified (made just as if sin never was) through faith in Jesus Christ. I am IN CHRIST by God's doing.” The implication you leave me with is yes you do sin but you ignore it saying God’s grace will cover it. Your not making yourself real clear here and this is what I interpreting from what your writing. If I’m interpreting what your saying incorrectly please clarify what you are saying. However if what you saying is what I think then let me submit for your thought. Jesus very clearly said if you love me you will keep my commandments. John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. To me these say we are to make every effort to walk holy before the Lord, to keep His commandments and to reestablish our relationship when sin brings barriers between God and us. EdB |

PART ONE EdB This is what I believe. Num. 23:19 (NASB) 19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Prov. 3:5 through Prov. 3:12 (TMWB) Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to GOD! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor GOD with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over. But don’t, dear friend, resent GOD’s discipline; don’t sulk under his loving correction. It’s the child he loves that GOD corrects; a father’s delight is behind all this. Prov. 4:20 through Prov. 4:27 (NASB) 20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them And health to all their body. 23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. 24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth And put devious speech far from you. 25 Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. 26 Watch the path of your feet And all your ways will be established. 27 Do not turn to the right nor to the left; Turn your foot from evil. John 15:4 through John 15:5 (NASB) 4“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:10 (NASB) 10“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. John 15:14 through John 15:17 (NASB) 14“You are My friends if you do what I command you. 15“No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16“You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. 17“This I command you, that you love one another. The Message: New Testament Rom. 3:3 through Rom. 3:5 (TMNT) First, there’s the matter of being put in charge of writing down and caring for God’s revelation, these Holy Scriptures. So, what if, in the course of doing that, some of those Jews abandoned their post? God didn’t abandon them. Do you think their faithlessness cancels out his faithfulness? Not on your life! Depend on it: God keeps his word even when the whole world is lying through its teeth. Scripture says the same: “Your words stand fast and true; Rejection doesn’t faze you.” But if our wrongdoing only underlines and confirms God’s rightdoing, shouldn’t we be commended for helping out? Since our bad words don’t even make a dent in his good words, isn’t it wrong of God to back us to the wall and hold us to our word? These questions come up. The answer to such questions is no, a most emphatic No! How else would things ever get straightened out if God didn’t do the straightening? Rom. 3:21 through Rom. 3:24 (NASB) 21But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; |
