Don't you think that Paul was reborn of God's seed ?

Don't you think that Paul was reborn of God's seed ?
I seldom use the 'ignore' feature, thinking that after a while, "they" may actually come around to my way of thinking.
I just can't give up on anyone.
Yes of course, they're all called to come around to your way of thinking
Uh no, we are called to accept the Mind of Christ and come around to His way of thinking.
Again, you use words and I don't think you understand the usage of it. Bondage is being held to the laws consequences. Christ took that consequence. That doesn't mean we aren't held to any standard.
As far as Zechariah goes, its a prophecy. You have to study the chapter like you would Daniel. That's why I gave you the whole chapter and not 1 cherry picked verse. Is that all that scripture is to you? Cherry picked verses?
So you don't celebrate Christmas, Easter or Halloween?
I hear ya. Sometimes it's like fishing and if we aren't getting any bites we need to move on and fish someplace else.
I am glad you cleared that up.
Christ took away more that disobeying the Law's consequences.
He took away our lust to disobey HIM.
Loving God and neighbor perfectly allows us to fulfill the OT Law's heart/core.
For some reason, I only looked at one verse, so was unaware you meant the entire chapter...my bad.
So I see a mentioning o,fthe feast of tabernacles.
But verse 18 of Zech 14, says the threat is against the heathens; not those reborn of God's seed.
Ugh...not a chance.
I celebrate the birth and resurrection of Christ Jesus every day, with a life devoted to His love.
If you are going to take part of what I said out of context to support your narrative that is dishonesty. I did not say
"You were just saying man was born in to sin and it's normal to want to do sin."
"You can't have it both ways. You either believe reformed doctrine or you don't, so which it is?"
What did i really say ?
The problem is those who say " It's normal to sin daily."
It is normal for the flesh to desire the things God said do not do.
The question: is it possible to stop living in sin?
This is an oxymoron . The world is fallen, and all are born in sin and shaped in iniquity. PS 51:5-6
We must bring it back to You and I,
instead of they and them.
Are you sinning daily ?
Are you enable to be free from certain sins?
Does one understand that being tempted is not a sin unless you are drawn to it by the lust and become a willful participant.
Gal 5:17 says: "For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want."
The flesh does always mind the flesh, but the spirit always minds the Spirit.
The question " It's normal to sin daily"
is one asked as a loaded question. It is one of evasion of ones own personal struggle with a specific sin they:
1. Do not have victory over,
2. Have no desire to let it go because they love it to much,
3. in an environment or culture that has accepted the sin as a normal daily occurrence.
Lets get to the issue of the matter.
IF you are practicing sin such sexual, addictive , and abusive sin and are not or have not repented , removed yourself from the environment and cultural acceptance, and are not renewing your mind by the word of God .
You will do that type sin daily.
Instead of arguing strawman of salvation by works or sinless protection. How about each one of us deal with the hidden sins of perversion, addiction and lying. And Hypocrisy, that causes one to think they can create reasons theologically to water down one's own act of sin.
Now you can finish your false narrative of what I did not say.
Hard disagree. Otherwise you don't have constant warnings about falling away and parables warnings about falling away. If your idea that God just automatically force alters what you think/feel, then those verses and parables are meaningless and essentially you're teaching that God only gives the appearance of free will.
What's the definition of a heathen?
truly glad to hear that! Seriously. Bravo to you!We no longer have to live in sin, thanks to the gifts of repentance from sin and rebirth from God's seed.
The wages of sin is still death, plus a second death.
You do know that not all the readers of, or audience to, Paul's letters were converts...right?
Not every message is meant for everyone.
Paul writes..."And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." (Gal 5:24)
No lusts, no sin !
Mine is, unbeliever.
Separating ourselves from the world's traditions isn't really that difficult.
So I can go out and get drunk and it's not a sin then?
If a Christian sins, no need for then to confess and forsake their sin in order to be washed clean of all unrighteousness then?
Are all future sins al;ready forgiven?
If they are then Christians can go out and get drunk and it's all good then right?
