People say I'm crazy

[Simiel]

Your revelation of Jesus is what you will live up to or expect. Who you say he is he will be that according to your life..

It's either yes or no. It's not well some are heal and some are not. Yes and no births maybe so and maybe not this is from the evil one. 2 Corinthians 1: 20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.



Is this verse added later on in text as well Verily, verily, I say unto you, John 14:12 He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

And healing is in the atonement and guaranteed Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

If you don't believe are have faith you will never go do. Your doubt will when everytime or say your unbelief

I agree with the verses, I disagree with the way you explained it.. Romans 7 speaks about being under the law and how it only showed him his sin but could not change the person he was. He was a slave to sin.. But if you continue he say therefore <<< it's good to know why therefore is there for lol. Thanks to Jesus I am freeeeeee... Now I did not say I did not sin. I said my sin nature is gone and now I am in new creation/new man... But if you don't renew your mind to this new man you won't be able to live from this place

Romans 8:1 (NASB)
8 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. It doesn't say, "there is now no sinful nature in those who are in Christ Jesus."

You stated, "it's good to know why therefore is there...." Agreed. In order to figure that out, you need to read all that comes before this verse in Romans. If you do that, you will see how Paul is talking about our forgiveness in Christ. Believers no longer stand before God as condemned. This does not mean that they will never sin again. It just means that the price for sin has been paid for, and that we belong to Christ.

So state that your sin nature is gone is to say that you no longer have original sin, and therefore you can be a perfect human being. However, when we start thinking this way, we deceive ourselves.

[Arwen4CJ]

Do you see what you want to see?
Romans 8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Lol I repeat for the 3rd time I did not say I never sinned, I said my sin nature is gone. Like it moved out and Jesus moved in.... And yes it shows me you love me threw the fruit you bear of name calling. Your amazing and I love you also

Being free from condemnation does not equate with not having a sinful nature. Being free of condemnation is all about our standing before God. In your quotation of Romans 8:1, you added the part ", who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." What translation are you using, or was this your own paraphrase of what you think it means?

You are misinterpreting what Romans 8:2 means as well. It's still talking about the consequences of sin. The consequence of sin is death. God's justice demands that. Without Christ, every person is condemned. Through Christ we are forgiven of our sins and are put in right standing before God.

Yes, we can walk by the Spirit, but we are not free of our sinful nature. We will still sin. We won't always be perfect.

Truefily I can't tell you the last time I sinned, lusted for another women, use slander, been mean to someone or anything . Jesus is good and amazing all glory be to Him

 

[Arwen4CJ]

ok on that first part.....lol

were did the Lord repent? how is thought sin is it not temptation, and isn't sin and temptation different. where is you proof in the bible of the Lord thinking evil thoughts?

Hyper-charismatics teach that the word "repent" only change a person's mind/change our thinking. They don't typically believe it has anything to do with sin.

What they claim is that we just need to change our thinking so that we can be perfect. Positive confession is often used -- they "confess" or speak out loud verses like the ones Simiel is using to claim their sinlessness. Some of them teach that words have power in the spiritual realm. It really isn't that different from the occult and witchcraft.

When talking to hyper-charismatics, you may use the same words as they do, but they often do not mean the same things as what we mean by them. They change the definitions of words to fit their theology.

So if you tell a hyper-charismatic to "repent." They will smile and say, "I already do that." But they are using it in a different way than you mean it. They are using it in a positive confession way. They don't think that they sin anymore, so they don't think that biblical repentance has anything to do with sin.

Another term that they differ from us is on "renewing the mind," which Simiel has also brought up.

 

[Arwen4CJ]

Repent means change your mind, so all in all He repented..,.., but take it as you please.. King James is not dead we had a nice glass of tea and read some bible verses yesterday

Are you being sarcastic here? Or do you actually believe you had tea with King James?

 

[Simiel]

Are you being sarcastic here? Or do you actually believe you had tea with King James?

I have a brother in law named James. He call himself King James lol

 

[Arwen4CJ]

So they could use human means to guild you further from the Doctor the Christ? So far has he said anything against the faith? A man is judged by his cyberspace name? There are way more questionable ones on this forum!

Now that I've been talking to him in this thread, I think he was being sarcastic earlier in the thread when he was talking about hearing voices and whatnot. That doesn't mean that there isn't other stuff going on...I think there is....

But what he's talking about now in this thread is identical to what hyper-charismatics teach. What he's saying is no different from what, unfortunately, thousands of Christians believe. That's why I'm taking the time to address his theology in this thread.

If someone is used to the theology he is spouting, then it won't sound alarming or too different from what that person. For those outside the hyper-charismatic movement (and hopefully for some who are caught up in it), the source of the doctrine should be clear. It should sound foreign to us, and if it doesn't, then it is because we are numbed to it.

Whomever these hyper charismatic people you speak of teach what I believe ?? Maybe I will try and find this kind of church you speak of.

For I was taught by no one but with relationship with God and reading.

 

[Arwen4CJ]

simiel i say this as nicely as i can, but you have no real understanding of the bible or faith. i am glad that you accept Christ that means your saved at least. if you cant understand and truly understand what you read don't talk about it. you have know idea what you are talking about like the post last night show. really you are not smart or wise i wish i could see your IQ because the amount of stupid that comes from you is amazing.

Unfortunately, all he is doing is parroting back hyper-charismatic teaching.

There are thousands of Christians who believe the same as he does. I don't think any of them are dumb. I just think they are deceived. They've found teachers who tell them how great they are or how great they can be, how special they are, how many great things they can do for God, etc. It's just itching tickling ears.

People have exchanged the truth of God for a false gospel.....they've turned the gospel on its head. They redefine all Christian terms and reinterpret passages to fit their theology.

I think they are blinded to the truth, and we need to pray for them.

 

[Arwen4CJ]

My simple mind for a simple gospel.. But you can't understand the gospel wit the mind it is out if your new heart this gospel is understood.

Tell us what your understanding of the gospel is. What does it mean, and what affect does it have on humanity? How are we made different by it.

I'm asking because I don't think that we mean the same thing when we use the term.

 

[Arwen4CJ]

All gifts are worked threw faith.. Faith is worked threw love. The Corinth church had no love(or little of it) so they could only operate bits of the spirit. He also tells them to seek all gifts. In other words seek to know the love of God. Once you know the love of God it's no longer gifts you operate from but the fullness of Christ. A lot of Jesus healings was done out of compassion which is a attribute of love. Nothing he did was self seeking but only did things to please the farther another attribute of love. And so on. Best way I can explain it

Paul wrote 1 Corinthians to the church in Corinth because he needed to address specific issues in that church. One of these issues had to do with spiritual gifts. People in that church were overemphasizing some of the gifts (tongues) to the exclusion of other spiritual gifts. In effect, they were saying, "Hey, look at me, I have the gift of tongues. If you don't speak in tongues, we have no use of you."

So Paul addressed this by saying that all the gifts are needed, and not everyone will exercise every single gift. The spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit just as He determines. Not everyone will be able to speak in tongues (or have any other gift).

The gifts themselves are nothing compared with showing love. The gifts are meaningless unless they are demonstrated in connection with love.

Paul does tell them to seek all gifts, but that is because he is addressing the issue that came up in the church where some people were saying that some gifts were more important than others. Paul is saying, "No. They are all important because all are needed in the church. No gift is better than any other gift."

I believe the same gospel as you explained. But the thing is most Christian that I have met are not being transformed. They react, think, talk, walk, and respond like those who don't even believe. They go to church and are still self center, self preserving, still have anger, getting hurt by others and so on and so...

When Jesus came he said repent for the kingdom is at hand. He change our whole language when he came. Matthew 5:1-48 you say but I say.. We still live by an eye for an eye mentality in the church. Smh

And if I ought to be a disciple of Jesus I should walk as he did or his disciples. Or does he not operate the same with his spirit? Is He not the same yesterday ,today and tomorrow ?

As Paul said 1 Corinthian 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:... How come you can debate with a unbeliever all day with why God is real or not. But if you show them what can they say?

If that's how you want to see it be all means........ So do you believe in Gifts? If so what gifts do you have and what gifts you don't have? Plus how do you know?

I was just saying we don't need no pastor other than Christ. I can't speak for all but the seminaries I know of request pastor students to take at least one psychology course. I'd rather learn from a carpenter.
Because there will be signs and wonders the other side comes up with charismatic movement to counter but that doesn't nullify true signs and wonders. I guess we just have to be careful.

Your revelation of Jesus is what you will live up to or expect. Who you say he is he will be that according to your life..

The truth about Jesus is revealed in Scripture. It is not relative. Jesus is God in the flesh.

I certainly don't expect to be God in the flesh or become part of the Godhead, or even become a god.

You believe that Jesus was just a man who was empowered by the Holy Spirit. This brings Jesus down to your level, and you up to Jesus' level. This is false theology, and it will only produce more false theology.

It's either yes or no. It's not well some are heal and some are not. Yes and no births maybe so and maybe not this is from the evil one. 2 Corinthians 1: 20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

What you fail to realize is that God is Sovereign, and we are not. And each person will eventually die (unless Jesus returns first). God knows when and how that will happen. Even if someone is healed, that doesn't prevent death from eventually happening.

God is not some vending machine that we can command to do our bidding.

God does heal some people, and He chooses not to heal others. That is His prerogative. He is God, and we are not. To say that God doesn't act in this way is to deny reality. It cannot be an all or nothing. If anyone claims that they can heal everyone, then they are a false teacher.

You are taking 2 Corinthians 1:20 out of context.

God has never promised to heal us in this life so that we never get sick or die. That is something that happens at Jesus' Second Coming.

Is this verse added later on in text as well Verily, verily, I say unto you, John 14:12 He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

I already answered that in another post, #199.

I'll repost my answer here:
No, John 14:12 is not a text that was added in later. It is authentic.

The question of greater works here is what kind of greater works they are. As more and more people come to faith in Jesus Christ, more and more people will believe in Him and be saved. This is the greatest work possible -- salvation.

Now, with more believers comes a greater number of people in the church. Paul tells us that the Holy Spirit distributes gifts just as He chooses -- so there would be more people working together and being used to advance the gospel. More people = more gifts, and the more good believers can do as a church. That is another way to look at it.

People often misuse John 14:12 to try to say that each believer should be able to do all the miracles that Jesus did, and miracles that are better than the miracles that Jesus did. No where is this interpretation affirmed in Scripture. Paul didn't tell us to copy all of Jesus' miracles and try to outdo Him. Neither did Jesus say this. Neither did any author of the NT.

And healing is in the atonement and guaranteed Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

Yes, I know that this passage is misused by those who believe that the healing is guaranteed in the atonement.

This doesn't mean that we are guaranteed to be healed in this life. What it means is that Jesus took the punishment that we deserved for our sins upon Himself. He took our place. He died for and instead of us. Jesus was beaten for us. Jesus suffered for us, etc.

If you don't believe are have faith you will never go do. Your doubt will when everytime or say your unbelief

I don't even know what that sentence means. The way you worded it there, it makes no sense. I can try to guess what you are trying to say, and I will respond with that understanding....

Faith is not some kind of force that Christians can tap into to make things happen in the spirit realm, or in the earthly realm. My faith is in Jesus Christ. I do pray, but I do not assume that I know God's will in a given situation. Nor do I believe I have the right to declare things to happen according to how I would like them. God is still Sovereign, and He alone is God.

[Arwen4CJ]

Old man new man
Sin nature Jesus nature lol.
Ephesians 4:24
and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Colossians 3:10
and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

Ephesians 4:17-32 (NASB)
[SUP]17 [/SUP]So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, [SUP]18 [/SUP]being darkened in their understanding, [SUP][m][/SUP]excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; [SUP]19 [/SUP]and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality [SUP][n][/SUP]for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. [SUP]20 [/SUP]But you did not learn [SUP][o][/SUP]Christ in this way, [SUP]21 [/SUP]if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, [SUP]22 [/SUP]that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old [SUP][p][/SUP]self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, [SUP]23 [/SUP]and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, [SUP]24 [/SUP]and put on the new [SUP][q][/SUP]self, which [SUP][r][/SUP]in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

[SUP]25 [/SUP]Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. [SUP]26 [/SUP]Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, [SUP]27 [/SUP]and do not give the devil [SUP][s][/SUP]an opportunity. [SUP]28 [/SUP]He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with [SUP][t][/SUP]one who has need. [SUP]29 [/SUP]Let no [SUP][u][/SUP]unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification [SUP][v][/SUP]according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. [SUP]30 [/SUP]Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, [SUP][w][/SUP]by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. [SUP]31 [/SUP]Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. [SUP]32 [/SUP]Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven [SUP][x][/SUP]you.


When you put verse 24 in context, you can see that Paul is telling us how we are to relate to one another, how we are to show love towards one another, and how we are to live for Christ. This doesn't mean that we no longer have a sinful nature.

Colossians 3:1-17 (NASB)
3 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. [SUP]2 [/SUP][SUP][a][/SUP]Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. [SUP]3 [/SUP]For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. [SUP]4 [/SUP]When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

[SUP]5 [/SUP]Therefore [SUP][b][/SUP]consider the members of your earthly body as dead to [SUP][c][/SUP]immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which [SUP][d][/SUP]amounts to idolatry. [SUP]6 [/SUP]For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come [SUP][e][/SUP]upon the sons of disobedience, [SUP]7 [/SUP]and in them you also once walked, when you were living [SUP][f][/SUP]in them. [SUP]8 [/SUP]But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. [SUP]9 [/SUP][SUP][g][/SUP]Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old [SUP][h][/SUP]self with its evil practices, [SUP]10 [/SUP]and have put on the new self who is being [SUP][i][/SUP]renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him— [SUP]11 [/SUP]a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, [SUP][j][/SUP]barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and [SUP][k][/SUP]patience; [SUP]13 [/SUP]bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. [SUP]14 [/SUP]Beyond all these things put on love, which is [SUP][l][/SUP]the perfect bond of unity. [SUP]15 [/SUP]Let the peace of Christ [SUP][m][/SUP]rule in your hearts, to which [SUP][n][/SUP]indeed you were called in one body; and [SUP][o][/SUP]be thankful. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Let the word of [SUP][p][/SUP]Christ richly dwell within you, [SUP][q][/SUP]with all wisdom teaching and admonishing [SUP][r][/SUP]one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing [SUP][s][/SUP]with thankfulness in your hearts to God. [SUP]17 [/SUP]Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.


When we put verse 10 in context -- again, it is telling us how we are to relate to one another, since we are in Christ. It doesn't say that we no longer have a sinful nature.

 

[Arwen4CJ]

My mind is not even sin conscience... It's amazing, like a burden lifted..

Um....ok.....then how do you know that you are not sinning, in any given moment?
How can you be convicted of sin if you don't even know what sin is....

As a man thinking in his heart so is he.
You believe your a dinner you will go threw life trying not to sin trying to manage your sin.. He said put off not manage and try to be a good boy lol

Maybe they would if they think that their salvation depends on their good works. But I know that my salvation doesn't depend on that. Do I try not to sin? Yes -- but that is because of my love for God. Do I fail? Yes.

But my life doesn't consist of always being careful not to sin. My life isn't all about trying to live under the Law. It isn't burdened by that. I know who I am in Christ. What I do know is that I am a sinner saved by God's grace.

Our thoughts, while they do affect how we feel and how we behave sometimes, do not determine reality. To say that they do would be to say that The Law of Attraction/The Secret is right. It isn't.

I live from a place of sonship the things I was slave to I always did even tho I did not want to but now when the Holy Spirit reveal this to me things change my whole walk changed. Truefily I can't tell you the last time I sinned, lusted for another women, use slander, been mean to someone or anything . Jesus is good and amazing all glory be to Him

I'm glad that you are finding yourself sinning less....but be careful. Just when we think that we do not sin, little things might sneak up on us.

Not all sins that we do are "big" sins. Any time that we don't treat someone out of biblical love, we are sinning. Any time we let something in our lives be more important than God, we are sinning. We sin every day -- and if you don't think you do, then you need to examine your life more.
