NASB | 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. |
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 Question:
Hello Mark; That is good. I would like to know if you have some thoughts on why nearly all commentators and most pasters do not teach this aspect of the new birth? Actually, I believe it would be safe to say that the new birth itself is not taught today as it should be MJH |
Bible Answer: Hello MJH, "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. " CDBJ MJH, I see a lot of posts come up from entering "old sin nature". Have you tried it? I am not sure that, as you say, "nearly all commentators and most pasters do not teach this aspect of the new birth". Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |
