Bible Note: Hello to you Mr Morant61 Iam not talking to you befor Iam liking what you have been writing all of this writing of yours I am fully agreeing with but then Iam comeing to a question for you. I will be putting what you have written here so you can be seeing what my questioning is of you. Is this the correct thing to be doing so you can see my questioning? (your teaching) The point that Paul is making, and that most people seem to miss, is that we have changed in Christ. Apart from Him, we were slaves to sin. It's power over us was absolute. In Him, we are no longer sin's slaves. It's power is not irresistible. Iam agreeing to your saying we are having been changed in Christ. We are being new creachers now by Him but if we were being to sin slaves with the power absolute. Then when we are being in Jesus is not His power over us as absolut as sins was by His being sinless and then by defeting sin for us. To be saying sins power now is only being irresistible and not defeeted sounds like it is being somethin we can now do by ourselves. (your teaching) Thus, Paul is not saying that it is NEVER possible for a Chritian to sin! We all know that we do. There are times when we yield to sin and temptation and commit acts of sin. But, as Christians it is no longer impossible for us to resist sin. It's power has been broken in our lives. If we abide in Him, moment by moment, and refuse to yield to sin, we can live holy lives. When you are saying we all sin are we not loosing salvation at this time? If we are becoming to sin again in our lives we can never again be having salvation again also the bible is saying Jesus did his dieing once for the sins.Then again you are saying it being not impossible for us to be resisting the sins of us and this power sin was holding over us was being broken by Jesus but there are going to be times in our lives when we cannot be winning over the temptations. If the power has been broken over sin in our lives how is it having power to be making us to be sining again? You are then saying if we aare abiding moment by the moment refusing to be yealding to this sin are we not in that moment saving ourselves? Iam being very confused by us sining when we are yealding to this temptation or not sining because we are doing the resisting of it what are we being saved from by the death of Jesus when we are the ones doing the resisting and the yealding of sin is not this meaning sin still has power over us? What was the power of sin that has been defeeted by Jesuses death of us? Iam thanking you for this teaching it is making me to be thinking about things of beleaf and how we beleaf them. Iam having other questions for you though Iam not wanting to be asking so much of you now so you will be having time in your answering. I will be asking you the other questions now in another post I will be sending to you but I will not be sending it to you right away but will be sending it tomorrow.As I am writing now I am thinking maby my hole question of you comes to the are you saying a christain can lose salvation? Iam not thinking this I am bebeaving God has started a work in us that He will compleat also nothing is able to take us out of the hands of Jesus our Savior. KcabmI4 |
