If you think about it the change of mind and heart upon repentance is miraculous because to do such a thing is going against our instincts which like comparing an animal going against their instincts it is not something animals do often if at all. When one is saved we truly are changed all...

This is very insighful and a fantastic way of expressing it

Yes but satan knows and believes in Jesus what would set the person apart would be the exalting of themselves as God or Godlike. I think trump has thre arrogance to do that in him if the spirit of the antichrist enters into him

I think Trump could still be a potential person for it but honestly I hope not because as far as poltics go there are things I like about him but if he does end up being the antichrist I would not be that shocked But even so if say the antichrist came from Israel itself that would make sense...

Yes but this is not speaking of the antichrist Jesus said this concerning the end times but not the antichrist

We have to remember that the bible foreshadows a lot, there have been types of antichrists in the bible to know if he will be a copy cat or the opposite we only have to look at those that were types of antchrists. personally I think that he will be the opposite not a copy and also he may very...

Yes this is exactly what I mean with the incompatability with God as when we are living in the flesh before we come to God and he being that of the spirit and holy set apart from flesh and sin. I like how you refered to it as oil and water as well that is actually something I used to refer to as...

I never thought of it that way that is a great way to view it. yes if we liken sin to the flesh it may make it easier to take notice of when we sin and not burden ourselves so much with the fact we do sin. it is human but what does it mean to be human well it means to be incompatable with God...

yes it does remind us to be humble and to respond in a mature and Christ like manner heated debates do that they can either bring the worst out of us or it can humble us and so this is why heated debates can be good for us

And yet there are those who do claim sinless perfection, I actually used to be in contact via phone with one and he wanted me to try things his way and me being the type to not assume I have everything right ghave it a try But the more I did the more everything in life became a heavy burden...

I have noticed that being argumentive and divisive is the main issue here on cc and whether it is a sin or not I am not sure but there is temptation to respond in an ungodly manner so perhaps the fact it is a temptation makes it a sin. it requires love and patience and maturity to be able to...

very interesting take on it So then if I may ask what do you think about the power of sin? what I mean is do you think sin has any power over a believer or are we perhaps no longer slaves to sin? true enough we all sin even being born again believers but how much influence do you think it has on...

We all understand the basics of sin and what Jesus died for but there seem to be many different views about sin for instance this verse here 1 John 3:9: "No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God...

I just cannot win with you can I? I was simply pointing some things out and trying to have a reasonable discussion with you but clearly that is not going to happen. very well then have a nice day
