Hi there!


Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

God Bless....
Is that for every born again believer? No! Only for those "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

The way I read Romans 8:1 is that there is no condemnation to all who are in Christ Jesus (that is, all believers are not under God's condemnation). Then there is a qualifying phrase describing these believers - they are not ongoingly, continually walking (Greek present tense) after the flesh

Hilarious! True believers are described as those "who walk after the Spirit" but you're so busy making sheep into goats you make them as those who walk after the flesh only in order to support your error. "Walk not after the flesh" means to be lost and unconverted, not a believer who is carnal." LOL! Wow! :D

That's why you never answered my question. Did God put Rom 8:13 in the Bible just to be a fake warning?

Rom 8:13 shows there are believers who will walk after the flesh and ultimately not be saved.

You're forcing the text to be speaking of believers instead of seeing the contrast that is there between believers and the lost.

I not only answered you, but refuted you, and you came back with a callow cop out response.

Now you're arguing your straw man to ad nauseam...

Good afternoon to you!

First I would like to say, there is no "probation"....All are guilty...

Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Yes, for "every born again believer"


I believe the verse means, "How can anyone condemn you when there is NO condemnation in Christ Yeshua, you have been justified..."

G2631 κατάκριμα katakrima (ka-ta'-kriy-ma) n.
an adverse sentence (the verdict).
[from G2632]
KJV: condemnation
Root(s): G2632

No?

God Bless...

Hello Again,
Rom 8:13 shows there are believers who will walk after the flesh and ultimately not be saved.
We have to go back and see who the audience was when the Apostle Paul was addressing, in context of Romans 8:13

Rom 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

The Apostle Paul call them brethren:

G80 ἀδελφός adelphos (a-d̮el-fos') n.
1. a brother.
2. (of faith) a brother in our Lord, Jesus.
{literally or figuratively; near or remote; much like G1}
[from G1 (as a connective particle) and delphus “the womb”]
KJV: brother


They were not of the same matrix, they are in the same Lord, Yeshua Hamashia.

God Bless..

When does Paul ever call the lost "brothers and sisters"? These are believers Paul is warning in Rom 8:12,13.

Paul is just reminding believers of their obligation to not give in to their flesh. That would result in death.

Rom 8:12-15: "Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."

DevotiontoBible, what are you arguing about now. You seem to find a fighting point everywhere in this forum. Are you sure you are led by the right spirit?

Go back and read from the beginning of the discussion. I didn't contradict anybody. Are you a stalker?

You know what Scripture says but not what it means, in this instance as well as in others. Verse 14 is key which you left off. You also need to understand the differences of prescriptive and descriptive texts.

You mean this verse?:
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
Romans 8:14 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/rom.8.14.NLT

That implies that a born again person can choose not follow the Holy Spirit in putting to death the deeds of the sinful nature. What I just said is confirmed in Galatians. We can be born again and chose not to follow the Holy Spirit in our sanctification :

Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
Galatians 5:25 NLT

I agree. I would say we get pulled by our sinful nature.
I would say Christians get pulled by their flesh (not sinful nature). Anyone who has a sinful nature has not yet been born again.

Born again Christians have a sinful nature still

Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.
