Did sin come into the world outside of thought ...

We rely so very little on the spirit, who alone can define the words that he himself forms. Instead we look to this one or that one, or christ is over here, or over there, or on this book or that book not understanding that these things are hidden/inclusive in a name that no one knows but the one who receives it and to which no man can define but the one who gave it, which leads the individual back to the same truth that he is as it did Jesus who was taught of his Father in this same manner (but whatever measure we meet it with is what is measured back to us).

It is reasoning that corrupts both will and emotion, and in scripture it is indicative of a third that is cast down, but it is also reasoning that makes our sins white as snow, which is the difference between the labor by thought to be (or the tilling of the ground) as opposed to all the treasures of wisdom knowledge that were freely given from the beginning.

The year of jubilee is to the land (that one eats from) what Christ is to the soul, in this relationship all have been called to.

The law was a truth cast down.

I don't get the idea of reasoning that makes us white as snow. It is our faith and belief in Christ's sacrifice and atonement for our sin that saves us.

Not following you brother. Describe what process, and what do you mean by "as it would relate to you"?

Thank you kindly.

If it is not relational to us here and now it is not relevant, no more than our salvation would be if we had no relationship with the one who saved us; how then would we know that we are saved (even something so monumental (which is an understatement) as this is subject to thought, though we can add nothing to ourselves by it which is the same as to say we cannot take away from ourselves by it).

The process is found in our soul, and is likened to a garden, and a seed that is planted in it, even the kingdom (which for all tense and purposes is another picture of this same truth) is likened unto this same thing of seed time and harvest (Jesus even likening himself to this same process). A seed of course is a word which genders in us thoughts of itself.

To understand the process is to rule over it.

Sin always appeals to our senses first, via sight, hearing, taste, touch, or smell. As a Christian with the help of the Holy Spirit we are able to stop these
sinful thoughts (lusts) As long as we are in this world we will always have to deal with sin but with the Holy Spirit's leadership we will win the fight.

What makes something sin?

If the mind of Christ is something you possess how can you sin ...

Thought is not separate from faith no more than works are separate from faith. Consider the Centurion who Jesus proclaimed as having the greatest faith in all Israel who logically came to the conclusion of why Jesus had no need to come to his house.

God declares the end from the beginning which is the same as saying it was over before it began. Jesus gave the prerequisite of being/going to heaven when he was talking with Nicodemus, saying (for all tense and purposes) that if you did not come from there you cannot get there, which to Jesus (which it should be the same for us, we being in him) was where he was.

We cannot reason with God without becoming one with him, which all are called to.
