Being in the Bible makes is true - and I theses verses are in the Bible:
Rm 7: 19 -21For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.
1 Jn 1: 8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
Those are true - They were true for Paul and John who were both spirit filled Christians at the time they wrote them - and note that Rom 7 comes after Rom 6 - and that Paul wrote "I do" not 'I did' was this was that case when Paul wrote the letter to the Romans and thus the state of the Christian Paul who had Spirit - and also that John wrote "we" which includes himself who was also a true believe who knew the Lord!!
So if you say that you are not like them, in that state, then who are you to be included with?
Ha - Paul was not even alive in during the writing of the OT. So why do you write that Paul's troubles didn't follow Him into the NT? Perhaps you are thinking that Saul, the Pharisee who was on the road to Damascus to persecute Christian, was before doing that before Jesus went to the cross. That is wrong. You might want to read both the OT and NT? Still Saul did know the Lord personally when he wrote what we read in the Bible - thus again I tell you, and you have ignored the truth, which is that Paul the true believer in Jesus Christ wrote " I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good." You just are not accepting what is written!
The truth is that we have to deal with the principle that evil is present in us. If you say you don't have to deal with sin then what John wrote applies to you, Again: " If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us."
You can hold to your thought that "Just because you "went over it" doesn't make it true, but it not me but John who wrote that if you say you have not sin the truth is not in you!
His sheep hear His voice is mentioned in Jn 10. So that is understood if a person has read their Bible, and really and truly understood if you are His sheep. That is to say that His sheep hear Jesus Christ. They know they hear from Him via His Holy Spirit who brings the word of God which belong to Jesus Christ to our spirit. That being the case we call Jesus Christ Lord - because He talks to us and He gives us instructions. You Lord would be someone giving you instructions, and our Lord Jesus Christ is our Lord who gives us instructions. We are essentially a slave to Jesus Christ, in that we are serving Him. If you don't hear His voice, then whose voice are you hearing from. If you do hear His voice He tells you the truth, and the truth is that there is a spiritual realm that exists around us and influences us. So even when listening to Him we test the spirits to make sure it is Him. We are not perfect at testing the spirits and discerning good from evil, but we know to do that because our Lord Jesus Christ talks to us and we hear from Him.
That being the case "hearing from Him" is already understood when reading Rom 6. So you can take a verse like say:
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?
The answer is of course "No" If you get to now Him He gives you all the grace you need to be reckon as righteouses, but that does not mean that we want to continue with evil spirit, which in this case are called "sin". We instead want to seek our Lord and His voice, but that does not mean we do that perfectly, like He did. So we have to remember that we are not trying to continue with sin but continue with Him.
or we could take another verse like say - Rom 6:8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,"
I live with my wife. That is to say that I hang out with my wife, not the neighbors wife. In the say way I live with Jesus Christ. His Holy Spirit is with me. So I should hang out with Him, not the devil. Still, even though I hang out with my wife and indeed live with her, I still hear from many other people during the day. I hear others at the market, on the radio in the car, and perhaps on the TV. They have influences on me also. So who think that evil spirit, can not still talk to you. They make their way into your life like a billboard say vote for our guy!
I can not understand how anyone truly know the Lord, because as His sheep they have spiritual ears to hear, could write "Where is hearing from Him mention?" It is known because His sheep really do hear His voice, so it should have to be mentioned. Still it is. Did not Jesus talk about having ears to hear? Do you have ears to hear?
Were you? Good, but then why don't you seem to understand all this? Why does it not seem that you don't understand that when John wrote "If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us." - That the we meant that he included himself, the true believer, in that statement.
Why are you thinking Paul was from the OT?
Why are you asking about hearing Him not being mentioned in a certain verse, as if it wasn't always understood by His sheep?
And why does He keep asking me to write? Certainly I learn things every time I do what He askes me to do. Certainly I get more understanding every time He talks to me. So it is that even responding over and over shows me things and confirms other things He already talked to me about.
Once He asked me to go to Ezekiel 3 and read. Then as I read He gave me instructions which were like what He told Ezekiel.
Ezek 3: Then He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them. For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel, nor to many peoples of unintelligible speech or difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. But I have sent you to them who should listen to you; yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me
While I read I also heard Him speaking to me. He was telling me, "Karl, I am sending you to people who should listen to you, but they will not be willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to Me".
People need to listen to Him. Yet if they listen, then their spiritual ears have be opened. And if there ears have truly been opened they know that the Holy Spirit is not the only spirit, because He lights up the situation going on around you, and that He did not lie when He said He puts before us both good and evil. That being the case you can hear from both but you choose Him. Choosing Him does not mean that evil is not still before you.
Have you never seen a cartoon that has a little devil on one shoulder and a little angel on the other. Hearing with our spiritual ears is like that. We hear the Lord and choose Him but that does not mean we didn't hear from the enemy too! It also does not mean that we alway pay close attention, and that is going on all the time. So being imperfect people we often find out like Paul that we are doing the very thing we did not want. We find out like John that we have sin (that little devil) talking to us also (which we pick up in our spirit inside us). We are not a slave to that little devil, because we are the ones wanting to do good - like Paul said. Yet the person who is not aware of this going on in their lives is the one who is deceiving themselves!
They seem to think that by going by their minds they are going to be able to do what is right! That is of course wrong, because even in the situation where you find the little demon talking to you and the Lord talking to you, there is still you and your thinking and making choices. So it is that you understand that you have sin with you and Jesus Christ with you, and you have choices to make!
A true believer in Jesus Christ understand this!!!!
