Subject: Two Natures or One? |
Bible Note: Greetings Doc! By 'nature', I mean the sum total of who we are spiritually and physically. My understanding is the 'old man' is our depraved and fallen nature prior to Christ, while the 'new man' is our new nature after regeneration. As I posted, Scripture does not support that we are both old and new at the same time, since the old man has been both 'put off' and 'crucified'. As to your numbered points my friend, what I posted was a study, not a question. So, 1) If someone is not interested, please skip the post. 2) The views I posted on both sides are established with legit quotes. No straw here. :-) 3) When Scripture says the 'old man' is crucified, it is pretty clear that it means the 'old man' is crucified. :-) When it says, we are no longer slaves to sin, I take it to mean that we are no longer slaves to sin. So, I am fairly certain I am sticking with the actual sense of Scripture, unless someone can show me how 'no longer' really means 'presently'. 4) See 3. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
