Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: "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." You keep on assuming that you are right in your interpretation of Hebrews 10:14. You aren't. I have already adressed both 1 Thess 5:23 and Ephesians 4:24. You repreating yourself contributes nothing to this discussion. Why don't you address what I wrote before instead of going in circles? You do not become more right the more times you say precisely the same thing. The old nature is one that was depraved and totally bent against God's law. Incapable of submitting to God's law. Totally depraved. The new nature is one that is disposed toward obeying God, and destined for glory. It is not perfect, but becoming so, by the power of the Holy Spirit's work of sanctification. Please explain in detail how the Greek stipulates a one-time act, not that it supports your point that we are already that new self and therefore should have no need to "put it on." --Joe! |
