Reader,
To make the wrong desires leave, can't be accomplished by trying to make them leave.
This actually causes it to get worse in your head,= the LUST desire becomes stronger and more relentless.
And that is because....Of yourself you have no power over that issue.
Notice........ if i tell...

Sin is a literal manifestation of the Carnal or "adamic nature".
By "one man's sin", SIN, = entered into the world and "death by sin" came upon all humans.
But that is not where sin originated......
See, all SIn is , "as rebellion".....
So, that leads to the original Rebel...
We understand that the Law and the 10 Commandments are good. They are Holy. They are Pure.
But, because they are Holy, they show us that we are not.... as that is the main purpose of the Law and 10 Commandments.
They are a Spiritual Mirror, a HOLY Mirror that reflect God's Righteousness...
Reader,
In this world, there is religion.
Religion is a man made process whereby you try to reform your behavior so that it reflects some idea you have of what it means to be good or even righteous.
Religions reflect what some carnal self righteous man decided, and wrote down for you to...

In Romans 12:2 Paul tells us that we are to renew our mind.
This means.... the BORN AGAIN.....are to come into the right understanding, regarding revelation knowledge, of who we have become, (Born again) as = the "righteousness of God in Christ".
Paul teaches that when we have this right...

Reader,
An unbeliever is "under the law" := shows you that you are a sinner, with no Righteousness.
The Law and the Commandments can't give you any righteousness. They can only demand from you what you don't possess of yourself.
That is the "curse of the Law".
You need Christ as your...

1 John 3:9 : is the born again spirit having become : "the new creation in Christ".
This is to be "in Christ", and there is no sin found there.
However, renewing your mind, so that Romans 8:1 is your spiritual reality, is something different.
Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation on you...

What is the difference between a Christian, and an unbeliever?
There are a few.
You, if you are born again, and not just water baptized (sprinkled) and religious) are going to heaven, and they are not.
You are born again, and they are not.
They have their sin, and Christ has all of yours...
1.) We know that we can't please God by works, law, or commandment keeping. So, all of that is not discipleship.
Paul said. "as many as be PERFECT",.. "the fullness of the Stature of Christ".
See that? That is referring to "the mind of Christ", and "walking in the Spirit". IN other words, that...

Paul teaches that : "Christ always gives (us, him) the Victory".
What Victory? What is Paul's context?
Listen..
"Victory", is deliverance from and over .... the world, your flesh, and the devil....at all times.
At all times....
So, Why dont most believers exist in that Victory that Christ...
"Mary was a good person and had a sinful nature like all of us." - the same could be said of Stephen.
Stephen "being full of grace"
Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.
And in Stephen's case it is not just "full of grace" but...
Romans 8:26
New Catholic Bible
26 In the same way, even the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs that cannot be put into words.
It is true that Mary like us is a creation. I am thinking, The Holy...
Hi there,
So yes, mental health (general struggles, whatever you want to call it) can be a tricky thing. One thing that is important, is that we do not trip ourselves up - that we do not create mental habits that are not ultimately helpful. You can criticise the Devil without authority all you...

Satan is alive, and he's very clever.
He is a perfected deceiver.
He is the "father of lies", and is the trainer of religious pretense, that sounds legit, because it speaks advanced "christianese".
For example...> Satan has had more time with the Greek and the rest of the bible versions...
Hello, I'm learning about Christianity currently and this is something that I've had some hard time understanding by just reading about it online.
What is the purpose of statues/icons? What is the difference between the two? Do they serve different purposes? What is the difference between...

"The Gift of God is eternal Life".
See that?
"The gift of God.... >IS< ....eternal life".
So, to have eternal life, you have to get God's Gift.
You have to possess this "gift", as "Christ in you".
And who is God's Gift?
This Is Jesus.
He is God's Gift, and He Himself is Eternal Life. John...

The born again, are initially justified by faith and then we are kept justified by the blood of Jesus.
How?
1.) God accepts our faith to : "justified by faith".. ."faith is counted AS righteousness".
What does that mean?
It means that God accepts your faith in the Holy ONE as if you are...

When learning about Grace, the grace of God, we are to understand that Grace is not a obtuse definition.
Its not just a sweet and beautiful idea.
Grace... is actually The Savior.
God's Grace, is THE Savior, Himself.
Jesus The Christ = IS The Grace of God.
Notice this verse.....
Titus 2:11...

IN general there are 3 Transformations, that happen to every Believer. (born again, and not just water baptized).
The first Transformation is to go from hell bound unbeliever, to "Christ in you...

"Abiding in the vine" is to be born again.
The VINE is symbolic for/as The Christ, and to be IN the VINE, is to be "In Christ", born again, as "One with God".
This is the born again Spirit that "Abides" IN......the Vine., which is symbolic for The Christ.
Finding perfected discipleship is to...
