  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have no idea what you just said.

It's like a hot or cold question, do you believe Jesus has set you free? Do you believe you are free indeed, or not? A double minded rwcievws nothing from God, or our footsteps become ordered to us, when we believe that they are.

We can not obey him by doing our own will instead Of his.
Be doesn't make us robots.
He makes us Free.
This means we have the true capacity of choice returned to us.

But if there is a practice of sin you can't break away from and forsake doing,then that person is not yet free .they are still a slave to sin awaiting the wage of it.

Once we repent Jesus forgives us through baptism, makes us new ..
The new we become is free from bondage to sin.
It does not mean we cannot do works of sin.it means we don't HAVE to.
But if we choose to..and keep choosing to
We serve sin..and become a slave again.
And there is no one who can die for us a second time.
Because Christ ,having been resurrected can NOT die.


So we need to live this new life very very very carefully.

If a person experiences guilt, he is not yet set free from the law.

This is what the Bible says about sin, as a matter of fact, it is God's Definition of sin.

1Jn. 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law:
for sin is the transgression of the law.

Here is where we stand because of Jesus.

Rom 8:2-4
2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3) For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Gal. 2:19
For I through the law am dead to the law,
that I might live unto God.

Rom. 7:4
Wherefore, my brethren,
ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ;
that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

Where is sin then if we are Dead to the Law?

The only thing you keep doing is repeating yourself, and your beliefs, you do not provide any Scripture which backs up your statements.
I don't want an interpretation of what you believe scripture says, give me a Scripture, which says it.

Hi Si, so are you saying that when you act according to your old nature and sin/do what you know is displeasing to God, you never feel guilty about it?

Have you read the letters of the apostles lately ? They didnt write verses .they wrote whole letters and you need to read them as while letters and they are full of life free from sin and warning of those who refuse to stop.

And I assure you in the name of JESUS.I am not speaking “a belief” I testify that Jesus is come to set is free from sin .
And he has acomplished exactly that.

But it is up to us to obey him now we are made free by him .

The command to repent. In acts 2...is not an auto pilot ,program in hit enter and it just happens..it is a command that we of our own will must decide to Do.
The command to be baptised is not going to automatically happen ..we must obey it by going and doing it as an act of obedience .thats what faith is.the action you do when you truly believe.

Every child who is in the fathers house has the ability to obey it disobey.
But if we disobey we show we do not live God.
Read the full letter of John .
That we are free from sin
Read the full letter to the Romans .
That we Have the ability to sin but must NOT.read the letters from Peter.
.
So few people can even endure reading it any more.they just skim to thier favourite sentances.its a pathetic effort.
I'm not going to give you chapter and verse. Chopping out of context sentances. Go read the while thing .get the big picture.

Rubbish.
A person experiences guilt when they are guilty of doing sin .
Like if they turn on thier computer and Google Porn ...afterwards they feel guilty for doing so.
Because they ARE guilty of doing so.
And if they keep doing so.scripture states they do not know God .
They need to repent of dead works of sin

Indeed!

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."

Not sure why your asking.
I pretty much said I both beleive it and Am set free.
Thats why I said..“ Free to choose”.
And warn, if in our freedom we choose to sin ...and refuse to stop choosing sin.it will master us again and we will lose that freedom and perish.

Freedom doesn't mean you can do any thing you want without consequence.

It means your free to make the choice.

And...do those who then walk after the flesh and do works of sin ..walk after the spirit..? Nope
So unless they repent Of doing so they have only a fearful expectation of the full anger Of God.

So, how can these be free in Truth? HE promises to take away our sin, cleanse our conscience...No one can reason with God without becoming clean. "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."

Duality within is not being ONE...IN Christ. But it is part of the process taking place within...losing our soul to find it again.

Sin is an attitude at the seat of moral reflection. It's something that is wrapped around your ego and trying to make you conceited. It's anything unlike the righteousness of God in Christ.

Yes he sets us free.cleanses us.
Now we are free. Not automated machines.
I have the ability to choose .I have the ability to sin .but DO NOT HAVE TO.
Before..I was a slave to sin .but Jesus set me free.
If I now go and use my freedom, to sin, I will become a slave to it again and will perish in it.
This is all plainly written .read the letter from Peter ,James ,Paul,jude,john ..they All agree.

If you love Him you won't go and Do works of sin . so if you go and do works of sin you dont love him and have very much to fear.

Freedom doesn't mean you can do any thing you want without consequence.

It means your free to make the choice.

Wasn't really asking you specifically, just stating a question for perspective to the question you had asked me.

Like I said, you just keep repeating your misinterpretations, of belief,
without Scripture to back up those false beliefs.

So what your saying is that your beliefs are chopped out of context, and that's why you won't give scripture verses?.....OK.
