If Jesus DIDN'T have LUST toward SIN, then Heb 2:18, and 4:15 are LIES, and Jesus WAS NOT tempted in all respects AS WE ARE.

Sorry, but Lust Isn't the "Beginning of SIN" it's just the NORMAL HUMAN NATURE to desire this or that. Some lusts are GOOD (like the desire to follow God's leading into the ministry - etc) It's different in each individual, with some desires common to humans in general. If Jesus DIDN'T have...

"Sin Nature" or the impression that Adam's "Nature" changed (after he tossed God under the bus and chose satan's way instead) seems to be almost a "Mantra" here. In fact Adam had a HUMAN NATURE, just like Me and Jesus (who was tempted in all respects as WE ARE). James 1 informs us how...

Here's how:: Wanna see it again??

Yup - it's like the deacon who was awarded a medal for humility, and then had it taken away because he wore it.

And a TRUE PROPHET would do exactly that. A "Prophet", who is manifesting the Gift of prophesy (in any of its many forms) is Simply PASSING THROUGH what the Holy Spirit is bringing into His mind. If the "prophet" is adding, out of his own thoughts and beliefs, anything to the message he...

BINGO!!!!! That's the practical difference between "Belief" (Mental assent) which has to be protected, and held on to, and FAITH (Heb 11:1) which is anchored in God's WORD to you (Rom 10:17). "Belief" doesn't mean SPIT, but FAITH holds on to YOU. 90% of what the world and the CHURCH calls...

The PROBLEM, of course, is "HEART BELIEF" (FAITH), not Mind belief (Mental assent).

Depends on the context. Inall cases the your references are to SPIRITUAL death - i.e. you're totally BLIND and unaware of anything beyond your physical senses. Being Born Again is a DEATH - of the "OLD MAN" with his lusts, and appetites. Our "Old Man" WAS CRUCIFIED with Christ which is what...

Back in the '70s, I personally WATCHED Christians from all sorts of Denominational backgrounds "come together" as one for a few brief GLORIUS years, as the Holy Spirit was "ON US" in a strong way, and we all SAW SOMETHING much higher THAN NORMAL DENOMINATIONAL CHRISTIANITY. THE "PRECIOUS...

TO me, the end of the age for Born Again Christians (I.e. the Rapture), is still a bit off, based on the suggestion that there will finally be a MATURE VISIBLE CHURCH (Eph 4:10-16), instead of the fragmented, and scattered mess we have in 2022. That "mature church is something I don't even see...

BINGO!! Although the "Works of the lost" won't be tested at the Judgement seat of Christ- since they'll never get there. Imagine the Catholics who wind up in Purgatory to be "purified", and shortly find out it's HELL, and they'll never get out.

And the reason is that probably 90% of what the church, and Christians CALL "FAITH" (Heb 11:1) isn't FAITH AT ALL - it's just religious mental assent. SO you believe in "Salvation by WORKS" - i.e. it's UP TO YOU to "Do enough to merit salvation". "OSAS" is nothing more than "just another...

Which is true. "Belief" (mental assent) doesn't have any of the attributes of FAITH. "BElief" has no substance, and isn't an evidence of ANYTHING whatsoever (except how you feel at the time). The devils, and satan BELIEVE in Jesus, probably with much greater clarity than we do. But that...

Eph 2:8,9 "Believeing" (having mental assent) doesn't get it done - it takes FAITH (Heb 11:1) - which is gifted by God.

Then deal with: luke 22:36

They generally object to being eaten alive -

Personally, I LOVE Animals!!! Some of 'em are delicious!!

There's NO Special SIN NATURE. There's only HUMAN NATURE that Adam Had, Jesus had, and I have. Adam's "Nature" never changed - only his envorinment did, and neither A, or E were ever CURSED. only two things were cursed - the serpent, and the earth. Adam followed the sequence of temptation...
