I do not continue to sin intentionally. Like Job I cry out 'please show me where I sin' but the Lord has chosen to make me abide in patience. The only way I know that I am in a sinless state is the blessed assurance which I do not have atm. If it was sinlessness through works I would not have...

No.

It is simple really - the broad path is for those who claim that we cannot stop sinning in this life. The narrow path is for those who trust in what Christ did and sin no more.

My deep apologies. I was not concentrating properly due to recovering from flu'. As you can see, I do not agree with the answers you have been given here. Miserable counsellors all of them spreading the lies of the church - that we will continue in sin. You have been greatly blessed with...

Hi there You say you are saved from sin yet only believe that it is the guilt you are saved from. That is only half of it. Romans 6 says it shall have no dominion over us but it still does if we continue to sin. My friend if you are content with your standing and do not get twinges of...

Hello Prognostic I worked it out because I take the scripture as it reads, not as most want it to say. When it says 'be ye perfect' I take that as an instruction and a possibility. No compromise. I was a sinner and Christ saved me from sin - fully and literally, but I have fallen from that at...

Hey Neil, if that is you on an oil rig, then you are offering yourself as bait to any preditory woman if you are hoping to find a partner here. Just saying.

If I was a Christian I would be without sin. I cannot claim that position atm.

The interpretation of Romans 7 which has been given here, that it is the normal state of a saved person, contradicts Romans 6 where it says that the body of sin has been destroyed in a Christian. What has been described is a carnal person who has yet to be filled with the Holy Spirit which would...

The meaning is to be taken personally. Is Jesus Christ the absolute ruler in my life, that is to say, am l complying with His will in all areas of my life or hoping that one day l will? If it is not so today then He is not your lord. You are still in the driving seat despite all of your church...

Um, okay.

Despair at our sinfulness.

Heb 4:12 New International Version For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. The problem occurs in those who have not known the dividing of...

@MessageOfTheCross You are not in Christ yet and that is why you cannot gain victory over sin. And in order to be in Christ, you must be willing to forsake everything which most believers will not do. and so they walk in the flesh and have a seared conscience so they think they are okay. You...

Hi @theanointedsinner I believe that a man is saved as follows: "1 Peter 3:21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God.[e] It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone...

What a wonderful verse! It speaks of the Day of the Lord, not the general understanding of it, at the end, but the day that the Lord comes to save the person, and releases them from the bondage of Satan and the captivity that ensures when man tries to serve the Lord from his fleshy nature...

Texts taken out of context - Peter was not in the position that he and the other disciples were after Pentecost and the baptism of the Spirit. All of the disciples frequently sinned before then - after it was unusual. John 8:3 says The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman...

I am afraid that there is a gross misunderstanding here about the doctrine that says that man can be without sin in this life. The doctrine does not claim that this is from birth nor that man must never have sinned to be holy. All have sinned - no exception, but Christ came to save men from...

@ManiaStar I fully empathise with you dear girl. If your situation is similar to mine, it is because I became involved with someone with a personality disorder (narcissist), and after the initial love bombing, and spending all of my time with him, I ended up 'addicted' to him and when it came...
