How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

[Lizbeth]

He’s a loving Father.

Yes. That's why those who really are His children, He will be faithful to correct when we go astray. And if we are truly His, we will have ears to hear when He does.

 

[amigo de christo]

Without faith in Christ none will enter into the ARK of HIS BODY .
All will go under His wrath who are not found hidden in Christ .
Ye must BELIEVE in HE whom GOD did send .
The first step , BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST , from that will come all things necessary to walk as we ought .
To be doing the things pleasing to GOD .
And without FAITH it is impossible to please God .
BELIEVE in CHRIST JESUS and learn the bible well .

 

[amigo de christo]

He does correct and chasten .
And his children know his voice , the voice of His only begotten SON .
And HE shall they follow . And no other voice will they heed .
And the children of GOD know , KNOW that there is but ONE WAY TO GOD and this is in THE SON .
They know and believe in the LOVE of GOD .
That GOD did love the world and Did send HIS only begotten Son that all who do BELIEVE will be saved .
May folks stop rejecting the love of GOD . Too many are preaching the love that cometh of the world
and that love wont save but rather will codemn them .
For their love has made the WAY , the PATH to GOD very , very broad and has omitted
the TRUE LOVE OF GOD THAT SAVES , WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST . Now lift those hands sister .
WE are going out the same way we came in , FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST .

What is the love that cometh of the world?

 

[amigo de christo]

You call this loving your neighbor??? Most see this approach as wrong, BECAUSE IT IS!!!

You have absolutely no idea what a little leaven can do, because by throwing in the yeast of self-righteousness you are spoiling the whole "loaf" of Christian love. And if YOU wont repent SOMETHING is dead wrong.

IF YOU CANNOT BELIEVE IN AND PRACTICE WHAT CHRIST TAUGHT: a) LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF and b) Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven, then you clearly don't understand the Lord's will.

Well it sure seemed you reject the very teachings of Christ and the apostels .
But you go and learn what that means . Paul had to rebuke a church
for allowing a man who had sinned , has his fathers wife , to remain in said church .
THERE is a reason we cast out those in error JIM . SO they can sorrow to repentance , and to keep the church safe .
But you have no idea what that means . You just simply dont .
You sat under the wrong men who preached a seeker friendly social all inclusive gospel .
It would not correct , did not correct , grew worse and worse and keeps growing worse and worse
cause the leaven infected the lump . its not a sin to correct sin . Its not even a sin
to list what is sins . ITs not a sin to rebuke one in error . Its a disaster not too .
A whirlwind of leaven to rise up and take the place captive to all sorts of delusoin . Leaven never travels alone jim .

What is the love that cometh of the world?

Sensual love . it changes the image of GOD into something that contradicts GOD .
It says the word a love a lot , but preaches a love that honors certain sins and all paths to GOD .
IT says , for god so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son
so that men could trample him under foot and say that to believe on him is not necessary .
THAT is an ideal of what the love of the world teaches .
But let me remind us something . If a man , under the law , by two or three witnesses could be put to death ,
HOW MUCH WORSE , SORER a punishment awaits those WHO TROD CHRIST UNDER FOOT .
Yall better quit preaching n teaching this nonsense that trods the sacrfice of CHRIST under foot .
Cause if a man could be put to DEATH , KILLED , by two or three witnesses under the law
HOW MUCH WORSE for those who , EXACTLY WAITING ON HIM . and what could be worse than death ..........
THE SECOND DEATH . Better cease with the lie . RATHER preach what is dire necessity . BELIEVE ON CHRIST JESUS
and learn the bible well .

From a spiritual perspective, the formal setting of an institutional church is contrived/artificial.

If you take away the restraints that the religious system imposes on people, you find that many in the church feel they no longer need to "act" Christian (proving that they are carnal by nature)....AND...proving just how contrived/artificial the system is that produced them.

If you take away the outward restraints from nonspiritual people they will tend to cast away the inner restraints that keep their carnal nature in check.
The devil then uses such people against the Spirit, and against those who would be guided by the Spirit...thus grieving the Spirit and quenching the Spirit.

Such people NEED to remain in the religious system...as they are of no use in an informal setting (like this forum)....but only a hindrance to those who are progressing in Christ as individuals.

Since you are not in the body of Christ , the church you reject Gods divinely ordained institution which is the church. The other divine ordained institution is marriage. I’m sure you reject that as well. The more you talk the more the enemy speaks.

hope this helps !!!

Where did you get this information from?

 

[amigo de christo]

Do you believe God was in the box?

No . But the god they brought out of the box , AINT GOD , its satan .
WHEN they said box , they meant BIBLE pard . THEY changed the image of GOD
into an image that contradicts bible truth . And they did so by taking god out of the box .
HE was never in a box . BUT HE WILL NEVER CONTRADICT the SON , HIS WORD , THE TRUTH .
AND todays all inclusive god , SURE DOES JUST THAT . they have reformed god into an image made like
to humanity . Satan was and is very slick . I seem to notice
that every time scripture is brought which contradicts the view of said men , THEY HOLLER STOP PUTTIN GOD IN A BOX .
What they should say , IF THEY WERE HONEST IS , WE DONT WANT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE
we want our own GOD so just shut up you scripture bringers . Just letting you know what YOU FELL FOR , a lie .

 

[amigo de christo]

Where did you get this information from?

You doctrine . whether or not you sat under men , You learned some seriously dangerous stuff .
STuff that might contain some truths , just not the TRUTH .
FOR IF IT WERE TRUTH and OF TRUTH , IT WOULD NOT have DENIED THE DIRE NECESSITY to BELIEVE ON CHRIST .

Ohhhhh, I see you believe that God gave that law.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

Ohhhhh, I see you believe that God gave that law.

“But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.” (2 Kings 17:36-37)

No one here has implied that their reconciliation too The Father wasn’t through the flesh of Christ. You keep assigning this label too every one here that won’t lift you up in praise @Jim B has tried to tell you at length, and also @Episkopos, but you just won’t hear.

HE follows me around constantly barking at any reminders of correction about certain sins . And i do READ his responses .
So yeah . I mean i can only know what he himself is saying to me . You either havent read all of his responses to me
or you have and just cannot see what is going on . But know this , and do be encouraged by it ,
I am gonna continue to correct all error , any leaven , expose what is evil and when i know one is false , them too .
And ps , let me go ahead and leave the two names i often leave . Pope francis , and oprah whimprhey
are wolves in sheeps clothing . I do wish they would repent , as i desire life for all . But till they do they get exposed for what they are
And ps , they AINT ALONE either . MANY have arisen . But i do have to head to work
plus there is no way my fingers and wrists could write so many names in such a short time .
THEY all over places . OH heres a few key ones . Kenneth copeland , paula white , benny hinn ,
emergent church theology , social all inclusive gospel theology . Many more but i just dont have the time
and have to head into work .

 

[ChristisGod]

Can't help but observe, the inability of some folks to see themselves is sometimes just astounding. I suspect that the ability to discern others correctly is to some extent tied to our ability to first discern ourselves. Hence the need to remove the plank from our own eyes before trying to deal with the splinters in others.

self deception -
