[Faith-talk] sin!

[Barbara Hammel]

You cannot live your life as a sinless man.  Jesus was the only man who 
could do that.
You are sinning right now because you are showing conceit by thinking your 
way is better than others'.
Yes, you become a new creature but that man of flesh will truly never be 
dead until you die.  You will keep sinning and sinning until that day but 
you will just keep trying harder to be the kind of person God wants you to 
be.  That's the difference between the Christian and the nonbeliever.  The 
nonbeliever lives for himself and does what he thinks is right in his own 
eyes.  The Christian tries to do what's right in God's eyes and works to 
become a better person because we all have much room for improvement if we 
wish to be more Christ-like.  Just don't start thinking you're equal to God 
or Lucifer will have some new company.
Barbara

Sister Jeanette, I said this, in the other thread, and it bears repeating 
here.
The new man, (new creation in Christ,) doesn't sin.
The only way we commit sin, is when we allow the flesh, (the old man,)
to resurrect itself.
That's what this holiness lifestyle is for.
We're to put our bodies, (our flesh,) (the old man,) under subjection,
as the apostle Paul instructed.
That way, we keep the old man dead, and allow the new man, (controlled
by Christ,) to live, and rule.
When we do this, we can overcome sin, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
George Fox's quote again.
"It is not impossible for us to sin, but it is possible for us not to sin."
Blessings, Joshua
