"That was my whole point. It is still to be mortified, daily, continuously."
Christ did not need to be mortified daily, but once and for all, that is how you become alive to righteousness.
It is why and how you can understand all old is passed away, because all became new, and we are risen with Him, so seeing we show the Lords death and rising through ourselves, to say we need to keep killing daily, is not beliving in all being done through Christ which is the day star risen in our hearts....
Hebrews 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
"Again, why must we continue to mortify sin? Because it is there to be done."
Just your words and just your understanding.
It is exhortation to those who have not yet arisen with Christ, and when they are, all is dead and passed away, and on top of that, it is God writing His laws into our heart to keep them, through belief that Christ is riosen from the dead, and when you continue to have to try to mortify, or you fall away into sin ( as is your doctrine) you never believed He rose from the dewad, shown through your life of sin ( as Christ destroyed the works of the devil which are the need for trying to mortify your body)..
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
"The regenerated believer does not continue in sin! I have not said otherwise."
Of course you constantly keep saying, but are saying nothing through it.
You constantly think we are in the flesh, and will struggle with sin, but that is the exhortation to the many who do nothing of what Jesus did at all, walking as Jesus walked is without sin. That I can say and there is no other walk, and that is how we say we can be without sin.
Ceasing from sin, is the same mind as Christ, as all scripture testifies for us and as told to you, to say you sin and are a believer in Christ blasphemes Christ, because to be a believer in Christ is to testify through your body and life without sin, that Christ is risen in you, ( which is the will of God fulfilled in us/ sanctification, and sinning is not His will for us)..
1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
Then you will receive the reward of unrighteousness Mark Quayle, ( which is the sinning you profess to do and cant cease)
This is your deceivings, this is the false teachers predicted to come to this earth, denying Christ and pretending to believe in Him, many deceivers and many deceived.
The warnings do not speak saying, false teaching of obeying Christ, of never being defiled, of stopping sinning to now receive the reward of righteousness.
But the warnngs are against your doctrine Mark and al who speak like you defending sinning, saying we cant be without sin.
You either can or cannot cease from sin, the way you are trying to uphold ( without the bible in your side) is of not ceasing from sin.
Your wages of sinning are death:
Romans 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
That reward of still doing any unrighteousness ( all unrighteousness is sin) are the ones who beguiling and unstable, who cant cease from sin, they as told, forsake the right way following the way of Balaam, which follows heir unrighteousness and reward of death for that. The born of God does not do any unrighteousness/sin then.
1 John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
2 Peter 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Again the deceivers crept in, who deny Christ in works of abomination they profess they cant cease from doing, which is their turning of the grace of God into their lust/sin allowance. ( these are the testimonies, and of course it is fulfilled in your "ideas" which again is your denying of Christ as witnessed, just read or do not..
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
The testimony is they defile the flesh, so unless your words turn around to show we never defile the flesh, then it is proven it is your "teaching" Mark.
Have you forsaken the right way, do you think it is the right way to show we cant be without sin ? Sin is coveting and lying, stealing, anything that can hurt your neighbour, who i is COMMANDED, to love and love works no ill to your neighbour ( ever)
But the brute beasts, speak corruption, so speak on, all the same as you are testified against, that is what these testimonies are for, instead of going after the doctrine of Balaam, which is only evil fruit, to be without the fruit of righteousness, because they do not FEAR GOD....
Jude 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Jude 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
