the New Nature

[Ritajanice]

Heb 4.6
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”

You can’t hear His voice unless you are Born Again, we hear His voice in our hearts/ spirit.

How can anyone harden their heart if they don’t know God in their spirit...that’s why we need the Living witness, the Holy Spirit, only he can witness Gods Living truth to our heart/ spirit.

You don’t know zilch!! without God’s Spirit...all this patting themselves on the back in their own knowledge, glorifying themselves.....not on my watch....All Glory , Honour and Praise belongs to God..

Me....she’s been kicked to the kerb, right where she belongs , in fact she deserves to be kicked into the “ gutter”.i can’t stand the woman of sin that I once was........,imo/testimony/ belief.

Let the Holy Spirit “ reign” in your heart...

Berean Standard Bible Par ▾ A Greeting from Peter (1 Peter 1:1–2) 1Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: 2Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. Partakers of the Divine Nature 3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His owna glory and excellence. 4Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. 10Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble, 11and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 12Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have. 13I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,b 14because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times. Eyewitnesses of His Majesty (Matthew 17:1–13; Mark 9:1–13; Luk

 

[Behold]

Can you spend a minute looking up that verse for me. I would like to have it.

"Jesus is the ONE TIME...... ETERNAL.... sacrifice for SIN".... because... "God hath made JESUS.... to be sin......for us, so that we might become the Righteousness of God in Him"

The reason the verse says..."might become" is because even tho Jesus died for all of us, not everyone is going to believe it.

Paul did not say that not being under the law excuses all acts of lawlessness.

Behold did not say that """ not being under the law gives you a right to live like the Devil".

"what "behold" told you, is that its the LAW that defines what is SIN.....and so, "where there is NO LAW, there is no Sin"..

This does not mean there are no carnal deeds.......it means that there is no LAW, that can define the CHRISTIAN's carnality as "sin"

The born again are "NOT....under... The.... LAW...........but under GRACE"..

GRACE is the dominion and Grace is the Blood of Jesus and the Sacrificial Atonement that has replaced the Law, so that all the born again are "made righteous" before God, forever.

Jesus said, you shall be made perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect."

God's Perfection that is ours, is to be "made righteous".

Research... : "THE imputed righteousness of Christ".

All the born again, have become= "THE Righteousness OF GOD..........in Christ". (Forever).

Well, once you become the "Temple of the Holy Spirit", which is to be joined to God = Spiritually, you can't Quench that, as that is a BIRTH in the Spirit.
You can't "quench" being born again, as its already completed and its eternal.

What do you think of this scripture:

2 Peter 2:20-22
20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

Why would it have been better for them to not have known about Jesus seeing as the latter end is worse for them than the beginning?

#9 is the least, (Tongues)..

Not the "gift" of tongues that requires supernatural interpretation. It is equal to prophecy so is not the least gift. You are thinking of our individual prayer or praise language we speak to God perfectly from Mark 16:16-18. Each of these two passages have a manifestation of tongues, and the main difference is the direction as I've mentioned before. Those two gifts of the higher tongues and interpretation I don't operate in either. But they are the only ones listed in 1 Cor. 12, Mark 16, and Joel 2 that I don't have. I just got in from church and it was raining. There was a time before I retired that God let it rain while I was driving, but would stop the rain when I reached my street. I then walked from my car to my house, or the other way around when I was walking into work that God would stop the rain from soaking me to the skin. That lasted ten years, and stopped once I retired. But today God brought it to my mind as I was driving home from church in the rain, so I prayed that God would stop the rain again when I reached home, and it stopped! I got all the way to my covered front porch and it started up again. I love the rain, and don't mind walking in the rain for fun, but when God brought back to my mind that ten year period of my life, I knew He wanted me to pray that it stop. He is still so faithful, and I love being protected by my Husband. Isa. 54:5

What do you have of the Mark 16:17-18? I have all of these, but the most used sign God has used with me was the Hebrew idiom about the deadly snake bites and poison. What a faith builder that idiom is.

I teach #7, more than anything else on Forums.

Sorry, I thought you meant that you operate in #7 the most, but you are saying you preach about it the most.

"Jesus is the ONE TIME...... ETERNAL.... sacrifice for SIN".... because... "God hath made JESUS.... to be sin......for us, so that we might become the Righteousness of God in Him"

The reason the verse says..."might become" is because even tho Jesus died for all of us, not everyone is going to believe it.

That is not what I asked you for. You said, "Jesus said that some sins are greater" and I asked you for where that is found in Scripture.

Behold did not say that """ not being under the law gives you a right to live like the Devil".

"what "behold" told you, is that its the LAW that defines what is SIN.....and so, "where there is NO LAW, there is no Sin"..

This does not mean there are no carnal deeds.......it means that there is no LAW, that can define the CHRISTIAN's carnality as "sin"

The born again are "NOT....under... The.... LAW...........but under GRACE"..

GRACE is the dominion and Grace is the Blood of Jesus and the Sacrificial Atonement that has replaced the Law, so that all the born again are "made righteous" before God, forever.

Eek That is soooooooooooooooooooooo creeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy when you talk like you are not Behold and have a multiple personality syndrome. 101 does that all the time. I hate it.

God's Perfection that is ours, is to be "made righteous".

Research... : "THE imputed righteousness of Christ".

All the born again, have become= "THE Righteousness OF GOD..........in Christ". (Forever).

Righteousness is Sinlessness.

1 John 3:4-5 shows that according to the context verse, sin is lawlessness. Breaking God's laws are sins unto death, and Jesus was manifest to take away our sin, and in Him there is no sin. That is literal. Our spirit and soul are born again of the Spirit and made righteous. Jesus literally takes away all desire to be lawless.

Holiness is Perfection and the end result of maturing in ALL of the fruit of the Spirit, which Peter says then you will never stumble. 2 Peter 1:5-11

Revelation 22:11b "he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

 

[Behold]

What do you think of this scripture:

2 Peter 2:20-22
20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

A real teacher wont teach that verse as "this is the born again, Christian".

Why? Because Peter refers to them as "dog" "sow"... and He would not refer to a born again Christian as as this type of filthy "animal".

See, If he did that then He's saying this About people who are washed in the Blood of Jesus. and are "seated in Heavenly places", "In Christ".

Also, he never names them as being Christians, or as being Brethren, or as being born again....

He is dealing here, with the same who Paul was dealing with in Acts 28:28

These are people who have come to the knowledge of the Truth, which allows you to see the darkness... (the pollutions of the world), and then some will take that step of Faith, and God will SAVE them.... = as their "Faith is counted by God as (Christ's) Righteousness.

These who Peter are talking about......are not born again.

Also, Peter says that "the holy commandment" was given to them, He didnt say the GOSPEL of their SALVATION... was given to them.

What do you have of the Mark 16:17-18? I have all of these, but the most used sign God has used with me was the Hebrew idiom about the deadly snake bites and poison.

I teach that the Acts of the Apostles.. "The book of Acts" tends to become a twisted and harmful theological .. situation, if this is taught as the.... "Acts of the Christians".

What i have noticed about people who chase "signs and wonders", is if you show them that

"tongues are for a sign" and "signs are for the JEWS"..

I Corinthians 1:22, and 1 Corinthians 14:22

Then their entire reason they want to be a "christian", is dissolved.

There is this type of carnal (Corinthian) Christian, who does nothing for God.
All they do is worry about.. "the infilling" and "tongues".

So, just avoid those people, and those denominations that produce these types of carnal infants.

One of their favorite Teachers.. Kenneth Hagan, said they are useless... He said the are "chronic seekers"...

Obsessed on "Gifts" and "infilling"... exactly as a Calvinist is obsessed on "what Calvin teaches".. exactly as a Roman Catholic is obsessed on "the Virgin Mary".

Sorry, I thought you meant that you operate in #7 the most, but you are saying you preach about it the most.

As i said....I use it the most on forums to discern people, and many of my earlier Threads i posted here, discussed THEM a lot.

I disagree as Peter like Paul is referring to what they were before (and this is the key) they "escaped the pollutions of the world." How? The only way possible, the blood of Jesus cleansed them from their sin. That means their nature was cleansed and given eternal life. That, my friend, is being born again of the Spirit.

What they didn't do is found in the first chapter. "add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins."

Once filled with the Spirit we need to make our call and election sure. They are IN Jesus, but they have not produced fruit. The Spirit has been quenched.

John 15:2 Every branch IN Me that does not bear fruit He takes away.

Hebrews 10:30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

There is a reason why it would have been better if they had never been born again. They have the gift of eternal life and then willfully sinned as a dog going and eating his own vomit. But instead of annihilation, they will spend that eternal life in hell.

What is really the case is the gifts are given by God like the parable of the talents. We may start out with one or two, but a true Christian seeks relationship with God, and the more they seek, the more gifts are added unto them. But those who are false teachers usually do not have any fruit, and no gifts of the Spirit. Some even despise the gifting in others, like Cessationists.
