Bible Question:
Question (full): Please stop arguing with Ken and answer my questions. Is the sin nature a substance or a mindset? Has the sin nature been eradicated and replaced by the new nature? Or does the sin nature remain in the believer and battle against the new nature? Is the sin nature the same thing as the flesh? What is the new nature? Is it God in me or is it a part of me that is a new creation? Is the new nature a substance or a mind set? Blessings, Pam |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Jhn 1:14, Rom 7:14-25, 2 Cor 5:21, Gal 5:17-26, Col 1:27, Jam 1:13-15, 1 Jo 1:18-10 ... Pam ... No matter what anyone says, we need to checj Scripture to see if what they say is true (Acts 17:11) ... don't just take the passage they cite, but look at the paragraph before and after, or even beyond. I'll try to answer your questions ... while others may not and push other topics they believe. Is the sin nature a substance or a mindset? - Sin is real ... not just in you mind, tho it starts with the mind - we must choose to yield to temptation (Jam 1:13-15) Has the sin nature been eradicated and replaced by the new nature? - We still sin (1 Jo 1:18-10) Or does the sin nature remain in the believer and battle against the new nature? - It is a daily battle (Rom 7:14-25, Gal 5:17) Is the sin nature the same thing as the flesh? - I would say no ... since Jesus Christ became flesh (Jhn 1:14), yet He knew no sin (2 Cor 5:21) What is the new nature? - I see it as the Spirit in us, since this is contrasted with out (old) sinful nature (Gal 5:17-26) Is it God in me or is it a part of me that is a new creation? - It is (Christ) God in you (Col 1:27). It needs to be all of you. Is the new nature a substance or a mind set? - Again, it is not just your mind, but God in you. Searcher Read http://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/nbi/564.html |
