    If we are dead to sin (Ro 6), why are we still sinning (Ro 7)?

    Rom. 12 says it rightly - our minds need to be transformed. It's our conscious thinking that comes from life experience that is the problem, in which we have blockage to trusting God for deliverance. It's called progressive sanctification in which we grow spiritually by the knowledge of the...

    Why did the OT not explicitly spell out the fact that the Son of God would die for our sins?

    Did you read what I wrote? I thought I spelled it out clearly. If you reread Isa. 53:1-6, it's about Messiah suffering for our sins. So then, how do you read it?

    Why did the OT not explicitly spell out the fact that the Son of God would die for our sins?

    Actually, it does spell it out in Isa. 53:1-6. The Messiah is "the arm of the Lord" (v.1) and He was "wounded for our transgressions" etc. v. 6. People in general just didn't believe it because of their pretext narrative that the Messiah would come conquering their political foes. Although Paul...

    Jesus Christ is the Rock. not peter

    I was looking for examples in scripture where some figure of speech had masculine term compared to feminine term for #1, or, in #2 any examples in scripture where a man uses a feminine metaphor referring to himself. "2. to Jesus, since "rock" refers to the Messiah or God mostly in scripture...

    Luke 13:3 being ripped out of context to teach Repent Of Your Sins

    You can believe anything you want, I disagree, and I think your interpretation of that verse is way off.

    Exploring the Harmony Between Faith and Science in Understanding Life

    You may be right in my not being much interested in researching the abiogenesis idea, because I regard it as atheistic mumbo jumbo. Nevertheless, I took some time in googling OOL and came up with this article: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rsob.120190 in which it says...

    Luke 13:3 being ripped out of context to teach Repent Of Your Sins

    You can hear them talking? Perhaps you're schizophrenic? ^_^ Your response reeks of "the devil made me do it." It appears that you disagree with James, so I'm done with this debate.

    Luke 13:3 being ripped out of context to teach Repent Of Your Sins

    It appears to me that your conversation is vague, and I just don't know where you stand, or where you're coming from. I need you to explain what exactly you mean by "tempter tempts internally." As for temptation, it comes from the human flesh, as James 1:14 says, "But each one is tempted when...

    Exploring the Harmony Between Faith and Science in Understanding Life

    Why not rather look at the vast evidence against the idea of macroevolution? For example, the single cell of the simple yeast is so complex, having more than 5000 working proteins in addition to DNA, RNA, carbohydrates, enzymes, each with microsystems having information that makes it all work...

    Luke 13:3 being ripped out of context to teach Repent Of Your Sins

    "I don't buy the Hollywood versions of what this means" - well, I don't either, but that's beside the point. I have sometimes called my brain "the grey satan" because of my forgetfulness about Who I belong to, and because of mistakes and false beliefs (ref to "grey matter"). Nevertheless, I do...

    Luke 13:3 being ripped out of context to teach Repent Of Your Sins

    I just don't know where you are coming from, but your last statement is contrary to what I previously posted. Not sure why you are misreading me. But you seem to think that Satan lives in your heart. Well, if you want to believe that, it's up to you. But I'm saying it's unbiblical. It reeks of...

    Luke 13:3 being ripped out of context to teach Repent Of Your Sins

    For a Christian, the devil does not reside within us. There can be demons that plant thoughts and images into our mind, but it is coming from the outside, because the Holy Spirit dwells in us. The Holy Spirit casts out the evil one, as 1 John 5:18 declares. Therefore, for Christians, our worst...

    Luke 13:3 being ripped out of context to teach Repent Of Your Sins

    You're reading into this passage something it doesn't say. "Thorn in the flesh" is a figure of speech meaning something happening that irritates him. It's NOT sin. The "messenger of Satan" is SOMEONE who attacks him with slanders and tries to destroy his godly work. This is implied in several of...

    Luke 13:3 being ripped out of context to teach Repent Of Your Sins

    No, this is not true. Firstly, I am NOT a "sinless" advocate. Nevertheless, it appears to me that you aren't taking into account the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God dwelling in the heart casts out the evil one, per the answer to the Lord's Prayer. 1 Jn. 1:9 "If we confess...

    Luke 13:3 being ripped out of context to teach Repent Of Your Sins

    Then why do you seem to assume that I do? Let me quote what you said, in response to me saying to DL that the idea of sinless perfection for a believer in Jesus is a ludicrous idea: "It isn't a ludicrous idea if you read 1 John 3:9. Just as fig seeds cannot bring forth grapes, neither can God's...

    Luke 13:3 being ripped out of context to teach Repent Of Your Sins

    antinomianism by definition is advocating sin. It means against law. So, yes/no question: do you think I am teaching against the law of God?
