Subject: Iam having some questions |
Bible Note: Hello to you Val It is strange to me that the first 2 lines of my post are the only thing you are making a comment on. Did you not read the rest of my post? I used 15 different scriptures. I would be saying to you that approximate 75 percent of my post is scripture. So to be answering your question. "NO" Iam not saying "that a born again christian no longer sins?" The scripture that I posted has said it. These are not what Iam saying they say. These are not the doctrins of a religion. These are saying what they say by the Holy Spirit as he moved upon holy men to record the words of God for us in the Bible. If you would read all of the posts of mine to stjohn. Then you would be seeing there are alot more scriptures. That are saying the same thing. There are litterally hunderads of them if you have ears to hear. And Eyes to see. These words that we are using in our daily life with other christians. Iam Forgiven I have Freedom Iam Justified I have Salvation Iam Sanctified I have been Purified I have been Redeemed. All of these are what we "HAVE RECEIVED" from GOD upon our salvation. They are not things we have to work out in our lives for them to be attributed to us by God. That would then be by WORKS. And we all know and agree that it is by Grace that we are saved through Faith. And that not of ourselves lest any man should boast. How Soverign is God in our lives? Is it impossable for Him to have given to us absolute freedom from sin? Thereby allowing us to come into His Rest. Because we have ceased from our labours. As God has ceased from His. Dear Sister Val, regarding your question "Are you saying that a born again christian no longer sins?" Are you saying that a born again christian does? 1 John 3:9 9--- Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 5:18 18--- We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. John 1:13 13--- Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. With these kinds of scriptures how do we refute them? Any scripture that you will find that does refute them would then be a "Contradiction" of scripture. Iam saying this because these are direct statements made by God. Which have been added into our canon of the scriptures. They are not an interpratatin of them by scholars. There then is a question. Why would anyone that has been given freedom from sin want to live any longer therein. He who is free is free indeed. Why would we want to beleave anthing less of God? Our Father has given us Foregivness from sin. Because we have asked this of Him. He has not given to us a stone instead. You see we all have a choice to make. It is not weather we will Sin or not. But weather we will walk in the Flesh or in the Spirit. This is the renewing of our minds. Because these things are spiritually descerned. If you walk in the Spirit you will not fulfill the lusts of the Flesh. Have yourself a Merry Christmas and be Blessed in the comming yr. Your brother in Christ KcabmI4 |
