AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, because God's seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character] remains [permanently] in him [who is born again--who is reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he [who is born again] cannot habitually [live a life characterized by] sin, because he is born of God and longs to please Him. |

Bible Note: Hello MJH, I think you got the wrong impression some how, you posted the following. “I was having a somewhat difficult time getting folks on this forum to understand what I was saying. Most had never heard of the two natures (old man, new man) and thus could not quite grasp what this was all about,” The topic of the two natures has been discussed on this forum so much that most don’t want to rehash it again. Type in, (old sin nature) or (new nature), in the search box and click search: you can spend hours reading what the folks on this form understand about the two natures. This is “supposed to be” the format before even asking a question but it’s not adhered to all that much, as you will find out. CDBJ |
