Dying To Self
**

Galatians 2:20*
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Luke 9:23*

And he said to all,

ty for posting the scripture we know Powemm.
do you intend to run ahead with jon4 and add to them?

Colossians 2:8
Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

Colossians 2:18
Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind.

are you teaching pre-existence of yourself?

ev_13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

just say yes or no for now.
thanks. i'd like to narrow this down.
To answer yes or no, I would have to know what you mean by pre-existence of yourself. Are you asking if I existed before I was born according to the flesh? If so, then we would have to clarify what it means to exist. Can a person exist before they appear? Yes, they can, cause God existed before He appeared to us. Jesus existed before He appeared to us (The Word of God). Did I exist before I appeared? I suppose from a certain perspective the answer is yes:

b_4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

explain this blah blah please.

so far you haven't proven:

- The Eternal God existed in flesh ['dead' or alive] prior to the Incarnation.
- God's flesh has always been dead
- that God came to this earth in dead flesh

dead flesh is PUTRID MEAT [which God said is UNCLEAN]

what's the implication ^^ of what you are claiming jon4?





i hope there's no one else on your mystery tour with you.
Mark was right - you need a proper church jon4.

And if dead flesh is unclean then how could Jesus be the perfect sacrifice? A perfect sacrifice could have no spot,defect or blemish. God would have never accepted Jesus death as the perfect sacrifice if He was unclean.

So if the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world, then the dead flesh of Christ must have existed before the dead flesh of Christ appeared?

he's speaking from a spiritual aspect ... Of course no blood is involved ...
instead the spirit cuts off the source of the Fleshes PLEASURE sources "all things feeding the flesh" .... Causing a circumcision of the flesh man nature .... no blood involved that you can see no! this is done inwardly not outwardly ...
the flesh man then becomes a "dead" but living sacrifice to the spirit man .... Who knows no death ... a transformation taking place .... Spirit overriding flesh ...
how do you know that is what Jon means? he has yet to express it himself.

have you had previous conversations with him or is that just a guess of what you would like for him to mean?

why don't you be a sweetheart and answer those questions yourself?

you know be a leader and show us an example of how you can answer NOT according to the flesh.

me, i stick to my original answer of being a beloved child of God and the scriptures posted to support that view.
I must ask why you refuse to answer those simple questions? I have answered them many times on this site.

I wonder if God sometimes helps to muddle the language of false prophets so they can't deceive more people.

Jon, this is Gnosticism. Stop it.

So you're saying that we cannot be holy (in every aspect of life) until we have our new bodies

That's right... because until we get out new bodies... sin wars in our bodies.... which is WHY we needed Jesus to be our sacrifice.

Romans 7
[SUP]4 [/SUP]So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. [SUP]5 [/SUP]For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[SUP][a][/SUP] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. [SUP]6 [/SUP]But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
[h=3]The Law and Sin[/h][SUP]7 [/SUP]What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said,

I'll try to make it as simple as I possible know how to.

What was slain from the foundation of the world in this passage? Was it spirit, or flesh?

Rev_13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Also, what names were written from the foundation of the world, names of spirits, or names of fleshs?

Rev_17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
