Dead to Sin ? as in that one is not under the power of such, swamped in such sewer, Lost in Sin ?
The Born again can detect Sin and is mature enough to deal with such encounters but the ones who are of this world are not mature enough to deal with such encounters, Temptations.
One who are Saved, are not owned by the corruption of this world.
Not that one does not Sin ? but not all Sin is the same gravity in fact.
Lets say that I look at a woman and thought she looks fine ! I admire her dress style and class ? That does not mean I desire to have sex with her at all or any stupid intentions.
But one of this world may have another motive ?
A mate said to me that the Bible point regarding even looking at such and as where he is at ? he thinks on a carnal level and believes that just because he had such a thought ? that it has the same gravity as doing such an act ? well yes of sorts ? because he is carnal ! Lost ! he is an idiot ? he is in a rut ! his self control is under the power of pathetic Sin ? If he could get away with such he would ? That is his desire in fact, his want ? because he is only carnal ! he is pathetic ! The same with money ? would he steal ? yes ! if he could get away with it, for sure, for he is carnal !
So I could say to him, now listen mate I know where you are coming from but you do not understand where I am coming from at all.
That's the difference ! The carnal religious dupe is not Saved, That's why we see Priest who are child molesters and Gay Priest, for they are Lost ! not to mention preach nonsense ! and follow along with this world and it's trends.
For they have not Christ Jesus in their lives ! They have Religion and religion does not cut the mustard in fact, as only Christ Jesus can Save one !
