How to Walk in Righteousness

[Eternally Grateful]

Read Romans 6. Then talk to Mark.

I did not ask mark

I asked you. You said we shoulld reckon ourselves dead to sin. which means we are not sinning

Are you still sinning?

 

[Michiah-Imla]

Is this feature still operative?

No

 

[Episkopos]

I think I should report you for mocking me...

Let me get this straight, you want to interpret, or reckon, my yes as an affirmative?

 

[Eternally Grateful]

Am I dead in sin?? Of course not. I just imagine and reckon I’m not and therefore I’m not. What on earth are you talking about…?

I am just going off what Epi keeps saying about being dead to sin, and not sinning.

Since you always agree with him, I wanted to see what you thought

 

[Episkopos]

What do think reckoning yourself to be dead to sin means?

 

[stunnedbygrace]

Let me get this straight, you want to interpret, or reckon, my yes as an affirmative?

Why do you twist everything I say?? Why do you not do as God says and just imagine yourself dead to sin?? You will answer to God for your refusal to imagine as you were told to do!

You were tagged because you “liked” a post where @Lizbeth seemingly questioned me on a miscommunicated post I responded to… I was not challenging any of the biblical points she made.

Let me go look . . .

Much love!

I changed my mind about Epi. I like what marks says better so I’ve begun to imagine I am dead to sin.

That's it. I'm going to my room and play ♪"I can only imagine" ♪ over and over. CU in a bit! ;)

I was "liking" that she was asking you for clarification.

Much love!

I was only preparing the way...

Sadly, I don’t think it will work for you…you’re just going to pretend imagine, not REALLY imagine.

 

[Wrangler]

The reason it's called supernatural is because it is greater than natural...not instead of natural.

It's like the law.

Well, sub means below, like submarine. Super means above, as in supercede. They are geographically relational terms. They do not mean logic or the law is suspended.

We all know jettisoning the confines of logic is foundational for your particular brand of mysticism to flourish. Of course, you will slander this, dismissing it as 'carnal' or some such thing.

well mark does not say he is sinless. or say if he was dead to sin he would be sinless.

But Epi does.

Why is EPi not dead to sin? he died what? 2 times? 1 time for over 2 years.. but he is not dead now?

 

[stunnedbygrace]

That’s exactly why I don’t listen to him any more. There’s no logic in it at all. So now I’m listening to marks and using the logic of imagining myself dead to sin. And if I sin, I just close my eyes real tight and imagine it harder.

 

[Wrangler]

How seriously should we take the words of someone who disparages "doctrinal clarity"?

Agreed. Despite my daughter possibly having substandard clarity on esoteric biological classification on nomenclature of all known forms of life, she's going to inherit all I have, except for what I specify to be left to my grandchildren.

The things that matter most should never be at the mercy of the things that matter least.

This is why I don't post deeper things on here. An honest person asked me to relate this...so I did. But then it gets picked up by others with less than pure intentions...

You just try that imagining to your hearts desire.

As you are imagining, keep in mind that no matter how wrong @marks might be (or anyone else), it does not make Epi right. ;)

 

[stunnedbygrace]

well mark does not say he is sinless.

Of course he doesn’t, silly! He never said any such thing. He said he just IMAGINES he is sinless and dead to sin.

How do you reckon yourself to be dead to sin as per Rom. 6?
