Bible Question (short): What is the new self? |
Question (full): Joe, !Hm...seems that righteousness is in view here. He is talking about attaining physical resurrection - the entire being being righteous - spirit, soul, and body. !It is quite clear that the pressing on in this life is to become more perfect (as we see the goal is throughout the Scriptures for this life). Then you are striving to become more perfect than Heb 10:14 says you are. More power to ya, bro. You are going to need it. According to 1 Thess 5:23, God sanctifies us 1) in spirit 2) in soul and 3) in body. Our spirit is ALREADY sanctified. Our soul is being sanctified and our body will one day be (not this one but) a sanctified one. When Paul talks about the "new self" that is created (not an act of process, bro, an act of God) in God's likeness - in righteousness and holiness - in Eph 4:24, what part of you is that? Can you answer this question? Will you? Paul says to put on (the greek stipulates a one-time act) the new self. What part of you is this, Joe? Paul says that 1) it is created 2) it is created in God's likeness (so it looks like Him but it is NOT Him) 3) it is righteous 4) it is holy and 5) this is truth. Can you define what this "new self", this "new man" is? I would like to hear your explanation. Your bro in Christ, ChristLifer2001 |
