Yes we used to be married to sin, we are no longer married to sin,;
Romans, “6:1-2, "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin* that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?"
*What is sin, that we may not continue in it?
1 John 3:4, "Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law."
Romans 7:25, “Thanks be to YHWH, I have deliverance through Yahshua Messiah our King! So then, with this same mind, I myself serve the Law of YHWH, while in the flesh that is yet subject to the law of sin.”
Also can you show me what in this post is not correct with Scripture? Because that was a strong accusation that im not walking in the Spirit.

Im not saying that the scriptures of the 4 gospels are not relevant, I'm saying we have a new way of living before the Lord. By Holy Spirit and the gifts, and grace He extends to the world, not just His own. Jesus died for all men. Past, present, future failings are forgiven, and we are freed from condemnation. Those spirits that constantly lied to the mind and made us hide from Father rather than running to His for the help we need.
Thats the point I'm trying to make about not only your postings, but others too. We put our trust in what God promises to us as to His keeping power. There is our safety, our peace, our help.
I sincerely doubt that we all here are gross sinners, and are just waiting to get to the bars, meet with prostitutes, and rob houses.
Its the little things that trip us up. Like criticisms, how to take things graciously, how to live with those not yet saved without losing our witness by impatience. This kind of thing.
Am pretty sure it's what most of us are calling the sins we commit. Or even timidity in not stepping out in faith when the unction comes on us. We grow in grace. And He graces us to grow.
one thing I do agree with PJW is his mentioning fasting. It is powerful for our living.

OK I know nothing about what PJW believes but it seems you are outting me in a catagory with him and I assume othrs. I am my own indivigual. Also for someone who does not know Yahshua,crtianly, just as the Jerusalem council, you can't tell new converts everything, it's too much information and the focus should be on mrcy, once someone knows Yah, it's time to do His will. We should not be 20 year believers stuck on day 1. Finally I can not say what anyone does, if the ignore their sins, admit them and seek to forske them, or whatever else, even if I know someone presonally, only Yah knows the truth of them. When someone sins the Spirit of Yah shouldcut their heart, if not their conscience has been seared by a hot iron, we cant use Yahshua's blood as a doormat. Certianly all are in places unique to themselves, my point in that post was should the good news be spoken in a way that says you have been healed now do His will, or you have been healed do wahtever and you still good. Yahshua said you are healed, sin no more...

There are ways to work out our salvation Hiz. Fasting is one of them, and if you (any you) are baptized in Holy Spirit, there will be power. Spiritual power. There is power by praying in tongues throughout the day. One can pray silently continuous unless engaged in conversation. Power is for living, and the anointed ministry.
Meditating on the scriptures, another way to work out salvation. Praise and worship. Singing in the Spirit, tongues and interpretation. God has given us all we need for godliness and Living victoriously through the life of Holy Spirit.
Now tell me how living by laws is better Hiz? This is the old way, and never changed anyone. The new and Living way has put the old to death brought by Adam, and under the dominion of the serpent. No longer. A new Genesis has begun with Jesus, and the Acts of the believers are continuously recorded.
The most exciting way of life.

It's okay to decide who to trust as a brother/sister and who not to.
Correct, you can not drum up trust in God all by yourself. God gives the gracious gift of faith by which we then choose to place our trust in the gospel. Without that supernatural ability of faith to know the gospel really is true no one would place their trust in it and be saved. That's why no one can boast in their trusting.
If God does all the trusting for the believer, why is the word 'doubt' even in the believer's vocabulary? If God did our trusting for us our trusting would be perfect and no Christian would ever be tempted by doubts.

Sin is our our human nature with death progression in us from birth as we grow. Plus separation from anything Holy. This results in transgression of laws that God gave to reveal sin opposite to His Holiness. But, again....obedience to law is just controlling our fallen nature.
A new nature of the very image of God, Holiness, is what we have. Failures to come to fullness of this is covered as we walk to the goal of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Otherwise men would faint and be weary if one needed to "sweat" by laboring. And this is the curse of the law.
Sweat is not resting in the finished work, nor is it living out of heavenly realms.

You made that up, Scripture says different;
The “curse of the Law” is receiving death for sin worthy of death. Yahshua/Jesus took that curse upon Himself for all those in Him.
Deuteronomy 21:22-23, “And when a man has committed a sin worthy of death, then he shall be put to death and you shall hang him on a tree. Let his body not remain overnight on the tree, for you shall certainly bury him the same day – for he who is hanged is accursed of Yah – so that you do not defile the land which יהוה your Strength is giving you as an inheritance.”

(Hab 2:4)” 12, "And the Torah is not of belief, but “The man who does them shall live by them, (Leviticus 18:5)” 13, "Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the Torah, having become a curse for us – for it has been written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs upon a tree.” – (Deut 21:23) 14, "in order that the blessing of Aḇraham might come upon the nations in Messiah יהושע, to receive the promise of the Spirit through belief."
Galatians 3:13,(KJV) "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law (death), being made a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangeth on a tree."

Can you quote the exact place where I said we are maintained through good works? I did not say that because I do not believe that. Justification/salvation is secured and maintained by trusting in Christ for the forgiveness of sin. Works are the result of that trusting.
No, God declares us righteous in his sight and saves us solely on the basis of our trust in Him, not because of a work we do (2 Timothy 1:9). The righteous work of the saved person that he couldn't do before he was saved is the result of him being declared righteous through his trust in Christ.
Which is exactly what I've been saying--works are the work we get saved to do (Titus 2:14).
Perhaps what you disagree with is the person who doesn't have the 'for good works' part of Ephesians 2:10 after claiming to be saved is not the believer he thinks he is. His inability to produce the good works of the Spirit testifying to the fact that he does not have the Holy Spirit in salvation to produce those works.
Save this for the person who thinks they are earning their own salvation by what they do. I'm not one of them. Justification is solely on the basis of the forgiveness of sins. Period. You can not work your sin debt away. The only way to be blameless before God is for Him to forgive your sin.
The righteous work we produce from that point onward is the result of that declaration of righteousness, not the securer of it. The part you probably can't accept is the person who isn't walking in the 'for good works' part of Ephesians 2:10 is simply showing himself to not be born again:
"anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God" (1 John 3:10 NASB).

No, Hiz, I didn't make that up about sweat. I see the pictures through symbolism in the OT. The curse began on Adam, that he would sweat in labor to produce what he needed from a cursed earth that produced weeds etc. alongside the fruit of his labor.
Many things in the OT show this. I think I mentioned once before about the linen undergarment of the priests. I have an inquiring mind. And I know the details are important too. So I researched. Linen is a cool cloth. There is not sweat produced with wearing it.
Then the cloth over the face of Jesus, not linen as the shroud over His body. Found separate from the linen. Not a napkin as some teach, but a cloth used as a headband to keep sweat from getting in the eyes while working.
We need a new way of sight. From laboring to make oneself acceptable to God by what is produced by obedience to the written Word, versus the way of rest in the labor of Jesus, and the new way of living in the Spirit. Following His lead as He shows the way to go.
Do word studies Hiz on the OT. You'll be surprised at what He reveals. But, what He said to me, I will pass on.
" If you seek to see me, in all that you do, you will do well". This I obey.

the claim is that ∀ α ∈ A, α ∈ B
therefore the claim can be re-written that A ⊂ B.
we will show this is impossible.
[HR][/HR]
proof:
let α ∈ A and β ∈ B,
then α ∈ {light} and β ∈ {darkness}
suppose α = β
light has no fellowship with darkness, therefore
{light} ∩ {darkness} = ∅
and α ≠ β
β was arbitrarily chosen, so α ∉ B
which implies A ⊄ B,
and more strongly, because α was chosen arbitrarily as well,
A ∩ B = ∅
"it's just the math ♥"then α ∈ {light} and β ∈ {darkness}
suppose α = β
light has no fellowship with darkness, therefore
{light} ∩ {darkness} = ∅
and α ≠ β
β was arbitrarily chosen, so α ∉ B
which implies A ⊄ B,
and more strongly, because α was chosen arbitrarily as well,
A ∩ B = ∅

Saying "I don't recall" is tantamount to lying, and is almost universally used to avoid telling the truth while simultaneously attempting to cling to a piece of false truth.
In this person's mind they haven't really sinned, they have merely chosen to forget a truth.
It is the same kind of deception he has used when he tried to slice and dice Scripture to say that Peter was NOT being a hypocrite in Galatians 2.
Incredible the mental gymnastics one must go through to try and convince themselves that they never commit sin.

Penned.. I understand many can play with words.. but some folks including myself at times can’t recall lasts nights dinner hehe..
Willfull lying is deliberately trying to deceive a person... we all can have a recall issue though I don’t believe you could forget being a member of cc.. unless one had a severe memory condition..
