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 THREE What does this say? What is our position in regards to sin? I believe what God has said through the apostle Paul. If He said it. It must be true. I know that I cannot do what He wants of my own or it is my own (and I could get the glory) so I can only do this united with Christ, IN CHRIST. The words God uses to express my condition are words in the aorist tense and the past tense. He also says He has made me. . . I choose to believe Him and I proceed on that belief. Do I stay in Him 24/7 not yet. When I am not in Him do I fall short Yes. 1 John 1:5 through 1 John 1:10 (NASB) 5This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 6If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 7but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. Whose report will you believe. The condition of the believer is as Paul writes or not. We are sanctified by the work of the Cross or not. It is by His effort all is done or it is not. ALL of God’s promises are yes and amen in Jesus. If you have any more questions Email me. In Christ Asis |

Asis Okay I read all the scripture. I read your statements and I still haven't figured out what your trying to say. Maybe I’m very thick.. Here is what I have deduced from your writings past and present. Yes you do sin but …????? I think your saying you chose to ignore them. Jesus said if we love Him we would obey him. To me that sounds like we have a choice. I think Paul is telling us here that we have control the flesh, Romans 6:12-13 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. [13] And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? Romans 6:19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. Here Paul through this dialogue proves our flesh is still sinful and rebels against righteousness. Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. [15] For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. [16] If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. [17] But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. [18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. [19] For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. [20] Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. [21] I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. [22] For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. [23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. [24] O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? [25] I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. Paul concludes saying he must serve God in spirit knowing the flesh still wants to serve sin. In other words he must crucify the flesh (overcome it) to live the righteous life he desires. Now is this what your saying or are you saying what I deduced that you sin but chose to ignore it? Or what exactly are you saying? Giving a whole bunch of scripture tells me little about how you interpret it. EdB |
