I am Spiritually dead to sin and live for Christ and have no unrepented sin in my life.Do you have sin in your life?
Let me rephrase, are you still capable of sinning?I am Spiritually dead to sin and live for Christ and have no unrepented sin in my life.
Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,Can you Biblically prove she was without sin?
No, I am not for Christ dwells in me and I in Him as God's Holy Spirit indwells me. I no longer willingly sin as I would be putting Christ back up on the cross bringing shame to Him who already bore my sin. It is no longer I that lives, but Christ who lives in me.Let me rephrase, are you still capable of sinning?
Thank you
Nothing in those scriptures say she was sinless. She needed a savior. The onli sinless human whoever lived was Jesus Christ.Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Luke 1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
If Mary was full of God's grace and highly favored then she would have been filled with the presence of the Lord having no sin found in her. No one is a sinner until they violate God's Spiritual law. When scripture speaks of death spreading to all it means Spiritual death, not physical, as man has allowed themselves to fall away from God like Adam did losing that Spiritual fellowship with God. None of us are guilty of Adams sin and none have inherited the sins of their father.
1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
It's only those who break God's commandments that are guilty of sin as they do not seek God or believe in God's greatest commandment of love.
Christians cannot be sinless in this life.No, I am not for Christ dwells in me and I in Him as God's Holy Spirit indwells me. I no longer willingly sin as I would be putting Christ back up on the cross bringing shame to Him who already bore my sin. It is no longer I that lives, but Christ who lives in me.
Believe as you want as I can only give what scripture says and what I believe to be truth. I believe Mary was sinless and found much favor in God. If you disagree, so be it.Nothing in those scriptures say she was sinless. She needed a savior. The onli sinless human whoever lived was Jesus Christ.
To many scriptures that say man is born a sinner. I have already poste this.
Grace and peace to you.
Fair enough.Believe as you want as I can only give what scripture says and what I believe to be truth. I believe Mary was sinless and found much favor in God. If you disagree, so be it.
When we first came to Christ each one confessed our own sin if we had any when we were in the flesh. If we have truly mortified ourself not to walk in the lust of the flesh, as many did before accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior, then we have truly put on the new Spiritual inner man no more willing to walk in sin as we now have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and no more will we be willing to sin. Colossians 3:1-17; Galatians 5:16.Christians cannot be sinless in this life.
1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.Fair enough.
I would believe she was as well if Scripture taught that she was sinless.
The Bible says there was only ones sinless human, that is God that came in the flesh as Jesus Christ.
Many reject that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh as they also reject the Trinity.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
So you do, sin.When we first came to Christ each one confessed our own sin if we had any when we were in the flesh. If we have truly mortified ourself not to walk in the lust of the flesh, as many did before accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior, then we have truly put on the new Spiritual inner man no more willing to walk in sin as we now have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and no more will we be willing to sin. Colossians 3:1-17; Galatians 5:16.
Being that we are still housed in this mortal corruptible body, and by no means an excuse to sin, we will mess up at times as the flesh and the Spirit will always war against each other as we are not perfect, but being perfected daily and this is what Paul's thorn in the flesh was all about, but God's grace is sufficient to forgive us when we do mess up. Now if we are going around and willingly sin then there is no more sacrifice for that sin and it will bring about certain consequences in our life as there is no more sacrifice for sin.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Again, tell us how a baby sins.
How was Paul difficult back then?Paul was surely difficult to understand even back then.
We can stop being totally fleshly and keep our sinful nature under control.
John Calvin spoke a lot about how depraved we are,
How the reprobate are without excuse (except of course, but for the fact the HE made them that way).
He says man is ignorant, prideful and very stubborn.
He says that most are so degenerate that in no part of the world can genuine godliness be found.
Great words to love by...

It's not so much that this is not going to get us anywhere.You missed my point, now worries.
Please do not waste your time posting the Scriptures. I have been of the mind of what you believe. But the Lord opened my eyes to His truth in Soteriology. I cannot go backwards in doctrine.
I have been down this path more times then I would like to admit and it will not get us anywhere.
Again, I have believed as you do at one point since I have been saved.

Nobody said a baby sinned, but that the babies adult representative sinned, and God because of that union with Head and seed, Gods says all he represented sinned. So babies come out with a sin nature having sinned not in themselves yet, but in its federal head, but because its underdeveloped at the time of birth it doesn't act out immediately but it will, because of its nature.
In post 988 it was mentioned that Mary was not a sinner.Do I assume you are alluding to Catholic belief?
If not please explain.
Another unscriptural postAgain, tell us how a baby sins. Since Jesus was born of a woman that would mean He was born with sin since He was also fully man.
Being brought forth in iniquity in that verse is about David who sinned against God after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
Many go astray after they are born, but does not say babies are born with sin as we are only born with a nature to sin and is not activated within us until we do transgress against God.
According to Luke 5:30-32 many have been righteous in the eyes of God since birth as they were trained up by Godly parents and never turned away from their training.
Calvinist, like so many others, love to use those scriptures to prove their point, but yet do not search out the full context.
Point blank, a baby can not sin because they have no concept of what sin is.
Please read my post again as you must have overlooked the scripture I gave.Another unscriptural post
You fail to grasp rom 3:23 and rom5:12-21 the need for the virgin birth, because you fail to grasp federal headship.Please read my post again as you must have overlooked the scripture I gave.
BTW, you have never answered our question in telling us exactly how does a baby sin and please do not use those scriptures you have already given that only Calvinist like to use to prove their point as a few of us have told you they do not cause a baby to sin. If you keep up this line of babies sin then this would have made Jesus a sinner at His birth.
I did not say anything about you agreeing with me or not. If you want the truth come here.Until you answer my question we have nothing more to discuss.
BTW, telling others that they fail to grasp scripture just because they do not agree with you is a violation of the ToS 1.1. Please keep this in mind.
