For our righteousness is but filthy rags.
Sin is transgression of God's law. Jesus is the sinless one; without transgression.
Therefore he is the only one who can be righteous.
If anyone does righteousness, it is only Jesus's righteousness done through them.
Even our repentance is not ours; it is the imaparted repentance given through the Father.
Sin is the only thing that we do that is our own.
Your response shows that you do not understand the baptism. What it MEANS and DOES.
Baptism is your Death to sin and resurrection to newness of life - receiving a new spirit.
Romans 6: 1 What shall we say then? Shall WE CONTINUE IN SIN, that grace may abound?
2 GOD FORBID. How shall WE, THAT ARE DEAD TO SIN, live any longer therein? (how can we sin when it is dead in us?)
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore WE ARE BURIED with him by baptism into DEATH: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so WE also should walk in NEWNESS of life.
This is NOW, in this lifetime. Not after your physical death. 7 For HE THAT IS DEAD IS FREED FROM SIN. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
IF you have been baptized into Jesus Christ? You are freed from sin - FOR REAL, Jesus is not an AA meeting. 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
Romans 8: 11 But IF THE SPIRIT of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN YOU, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN YOUR MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
You are free from sin NOW, in this lifetime. That is the new covenant and the teaching that NO ONE has the courage to profess. This teaching is too offensive.
The sin of adultery illustrates baptism and your marriage to Christ...
The Story of the Bride is linked to the adulterous. Here is understanding… Before coming to Christ we were married to sin, what people like to lovingly refer to as “our human nature”.
But after coming to Christ and baptism of the holy spirit, we are NOT just divorced from sin, meaning that old spouse still lives in us… But that old spouse of sin is DEAD…
We are then a widow that can lawfully remarry… Once our old spouse sin nature is dead, we are free to marry Christ and become one with him in HIS New Nature of Holiness.
So if you continue in sin once coming to Christ ye are an adulterer/adulteress, because your old spouse is still alive and well and not dead.
You are correct and right on! My point wasn't that it is impossible to do no sin, but that it wasn't our doing. It is through Jesus Christ that we no longer sin. All glory given where glory is due.
Every day we must bludgeon the old man of lusts and sin, killing him daily to be reborn through Jesus Christ each day.
There is a physical baptism displayed publicly in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and a daily personal 'baptism' to overcome our old nature that keeps trying to surreptitiously root back into our heart.
Where does scripture say that I must go to the AA meeting of bludgeoning something that is dead? If sin is dead in you, by baptism into the death and resurrection. How can you still be burdened with it?
Seeing people sin is certainly a burden and when they continue to sin against me, that is a problem. When they are confronted with their sins that are hurting others, they will turn on you and attack like a viper.
Now, people have made up NEW sins that are not sin at all.. That is a problem. Because those man made fake sins are not written upon the heart by the holy spirit, they are fake. Those fake laws are being forced upon us by shamans and liars. They added to the scripture, yes?
Those fake laws are like: Thou shalt not video game, Thou shalt not internet or tv or watch a movie Thou shalt not get angry Thou shalt not question your parents when you are an adult Thou shalt eat pork
Thou shalt only eat this kind of food (take your pick) thou shalt wear skirts thou shalt never get a haircut thou shalt not question the preacher Thou shalt not Pokemon
Ask any Baptist cult member, they have all the man made sins down. They will willingly follow the man made up laws... And shun the commandments of God as done away with.
They are VERY studious and follow these laws/sins they have added to the scripture cannon.. But to hell with the 10 commandments, those do not matter. One can never keep those "jewish" laws... Those are NOT for US... But apparently the man made new laws supersede the laws of God.
