@NEAR TERM EXTINCTION - HUMAN "The way serpents talk wears you out" - Excerpt from a giant block of edgy slam poetry posted in the youtube comments

It doesn't happen like "magic". Read Mathew 16:24 we are to deny ourselves (don't do what we want), carry our cross, and we are to crucify our independent, selfish desires and ideas DAILY! We are to step down from the throne in our heart/spirit - submit to God and invite Him to sit on that throne to govern our lives! The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God, we are no longer "independent" (independence from God is the original sin that brought death).

Hey I’m an Australian In Canada. God Bless

@NEAR TERM EXTINCTION - HUMAN what on earth are you going on about dude?

I am listening from Nigeria

Mathew 19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. Eunuchs made that way by others were molested and something inside of them blocks off a certain type of body but it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused. Those that CHOOSE to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex-characteristics but opposite in regards to gender. GENDER is determined in the brain and designated at birth and has nothing to do with sex characteristics. Notice, God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. You know rapture occurs right HERE on earth right? Malachi 4:2-3 It is when God's true people shine like the sun with the glory of the Lord right here on earth. Jesus comes back to rule. Some people will live forever. The rapture teaching inside the fake churches is mostly LIES. The new heaven and earth will be made here. Do you get it? The ones taken are NOT good. WW3 will bring down all government institutions and they are ALL corrupt. 1/3 of all people will die at least. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. Anyone that continues to teach the LIE of monetary tithing or sells anything at all using the gospel CHOOSES to DIE with the wicked. It's their choice. Same-sex marriage is NOT a sin. Mathew 19:12 says God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. Anyone that teaches it is a sin when it is not also CHOOSES to perish with the wicked. WORLD PEACE IS COMING! Asking questions is okay, but anyone that rejects the messages from the messenger of Malachi 3:1 rejects Jesus Christ Himself and that means they will also not be here when Jesus comes back. Luke 10:7 states the only wages for ministering are eating and drinking whatever you are given. not a sin. If you want those reads on how same sex marriage is not a sin and how monetary tithing is a huge lie, send me your email. Male or female is determined by gender, located in the BRAIN. Pretrib rapture is LIES, false teaching. Again. WORLD PEACE IS COMING! Stay out of the fake churches. In order to be a church, the place must house people inside of it. Otherwise, it's part of the system of Babylon that does nothing bur further satan's agenda. They all teach lies as well.

*IF* my flesh was crucified - why do I still sin? That's a better way to ask the question in order to get to the bottom of the problems, whatever they may be. Even Romans 6:8 says "IF we have died with Christ..." The argument is not with "BECAUSE we have died with Christ..." as this message says (@ 12:07). There is nothing paradoxical in what the scriptures teach as this message suggests (@ 12:29). If something is a sure fact, then what is supposed to follow it will follow it. But if no time is taken to make sure that "we have died with Christ" or "our old man was crucified with Him" or to humbly examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith and not just assume such is the case (2 Corinthians 13:5), then a person will not see the light in any struggles with sin and will just assume that is normal (encouraged by those who preach a lie). The truth is there is no way to become a new creature (video @ 12:37), with old things having passed away and all things having become new (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 4:17-24) without genuine repentance. A person cannot just believe he is a new creature when the steps have never been taken to be in Christ Jesus and under no condemnation, not walking according to the flesh but according to the Spirit, having been made free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-2). Repentance and faith (obedience) are requirements for salvation (Acts 20:20-21). Hebrews 5:9 And having been made perfect, He [Jesus] became the author of eternal *salvation to all those who obey Him* And the result of obeying Jesus is freedom from sin (John 8:31-36, Romans 6:6-7, Romans 6:16-18), not unending struggles with sin.

Sin is our default making it easy to sin , but be quick to repent. The Holy Spirit will convict us when we do sin intentionally so don’t for He leads us into all truth that grace will be available in time of need. If we continue sining then the Bible says “If we make the decision to sin after we receive the knowledge of the truth, there isn’t a sacrifice for sins left any longer.” Amen ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭26‬ ‭CEB‬‬

We are to step down from the throne in our heart/spirit - submit to God and invite Him to sit on that throne to govern our lives! The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God, we are no longer "independent" (independence from God is the original sin that brought death).

I agree it does not happen like “magic” but it is definitely supernatural. I agree we must take up our cross and follow Jesus but that all comes from the fact that we are already “crucified with Christ” as Paul puts it. We are not striving to attain the victory but rather enforcing the victory that was won on the cross. This is done by faith in what Christ has already accomplished for us.

@@jesussaves3741 I struggled with this in my life, and one day the Holy Spirit showed me that I needed to make a list of me: qualities, faults, desires. Then, to bring each of them one by one to the altar of sacrifice /cross, cut their throat and let them bleed, then burn them to ashes. That's the only way to crucify the self. For Christ to actually live in me and govern my life.... the "I" must go out of the picture. Our will is very strong and stubborn, the old self was used to be "god" in our lives, and resents being ignored or put out. There is where we actually need the Holy Spirit to help us. Paul was carnal, full of himself, very proud and very religious! a PHARISEE! When Jesus encountered him in the way to Damascus his life was shattered... he realized he was nothing! He had to do this same process in order that Jesus could have ALL of him! So, the reality is that I have to do it myself, just like Jesus laid His life for us, we must lay our corrupted life for Him. He already did His part. Now it is our turn. It hurts, because even though we are "born again", crucifying the desires of our heart... hurts. Jesus did suffer on that cross! And we carry our cross daily, because new desires will pop up; the seeds of pride in our nature will want to pop up as well.... we must be very attentive and alert to continue to humble ourselves, fasting, buffeting our flesh - just like Paul did! This is a daily matter. From my experience I say this: When somebody despises you and mistreat you, if you get offended you're automatically pushing out God from the throne of your heart,and sitting yourself on it. Then you turn "religious", but the joy, love of God no longer flow from you. One has to be very watchful to always remember "I am dead", "I won't take this personal", "Father, forgive them because they don't know what they do", and remit their sins. This is the Key to daily victory! Make sure that God is always sitting on the throne of our hearts, acknowledging we are dead, and as Psalm 119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. God bless you, dear!

As Jesus said “according to your faith be it unto you” the way in which one “works out their salvation with fear and trembling” may differ from person to person. For one making a list of things that need to be crucified may help but for another simply accepting as fact that they have been crucified with Christ and standing upon this truth may help another. Either way Christians must be grounded in the fact that Christ has set us free from sin.

@@jesussaves3741 I guess it requires awareness, I had some cognitive problems at that time, and the list was a must!

We are to step down from the throne in our heart/spirit - submit to God and invite Him to sit on that throne to govern our lives! The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God, we are no longer "independent" (independence from God is the original sin that brought death). We need to transform our mind feeding on the Word of God, and seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit at all times, communicating with Him,being aware He is God, Holy, and we submit to Him.

*IF* my flesh was crucified - why do I still sin? That's a better way to ask the question in order to get to the bottom of the problems, whatever they may be. Even Romans 6:8 says "IF we have died with Christ..." The argument is not with "BECAUSE we have died with Christ..." as this message says (@ 12:07). There is nothing paradoxical in what the scriptures teach as this message suggests (@ 12:29). If something is a sure fact, then what is supposed to follow it will follow it.

A person cannot just believe he is a new creature when the steps have never been taken to be in Christ Jesus and under no condemnation, not walking according to the flesh but according to the Spirit, having been made free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-2).

The thing is if accepting Jesus did not mean denying yourself, taking up your cross daily to follow Him (Luke 9:23), then you will struggle with sin and won't have any victory. I see the place you are in and what you need to do. But the hurdle here is to get the conversation to actually getting saved. It is important that you answer God's call to repentance the way the Bible teaches. Otherwise, you will be trying to build on a faulty foundation. So, the question now is whether or not you are open to examine what was your square one for becoming a Christian. I have been deceived too, but I hope you can listen to what I am saying. The experience of salvation is not an experience of struggling with sin and staying trapped in it. You must sincerely regret having sinned against God, and come to the point of hearing and agreeing 100% with Jesus' message saying, "I do not condemn you, now go and don't sin anymore" (John 8:11). Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways is key. That opens the door to receiving his *forgiveness* for your past sins (2 Peter 1:9), *healing* (Luke 5:31-32), *freedom from sin/addictions* (John 8:34-36), and the gift of *a new life* that you will live for God and no longer for sin and the passing things of the world (Romans 6:4, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15). That is salvation. You must submit to God. That is essential: James 4:7-8 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Hebrews 5:9 And having been made perfect, He [Jesus] became the author of 👉 *eternal salvation to all those who obey Him* Please stay in the word and obey it (James 1:22). The truth will set you free from all sin (John 8:31-32, 36).

Great testimony Spence!!!! Here is some good news, you don't have to reconcile yourself to God because Christ did that for you. He didn't die just for your sins but for The Sin Nature of humanity. He knew every sin you would commit in your life but still loved you enough to create you!!!!!! And He had already, at The Cross, paid for all those sins. There is no condemnation for those who are "In Christ", in other words, those who trust the Truth of The Good News of Jesus and have thrown in the towel on trying to prove to God how good they can be. Just accept that you have already been accepted!!!!! Peace Brother

@@markhaney2884 Amen

What makes you think there even is a hell?

@@2ndPigeon the Bible says there is

@@spencer1854 I know it does. Question still stands though. Same for Hogwarts for example.

You’re overthinking it. Just love God, love people, and try your best.

I sympathise with your struggles. We can't be expected to know every sin we commit, and God understands that. When we are saved by faith, it isn't as if we lose salvation every time we sin. We are secure in salvation by faith. Faith is always accompanied by good deeds, but not by anything like perfection. See in James 3:2 how James says: 'For we all stumble in many ways.' Stumbling in this verse refers to committing unpremeditated sins of short duration. So James is clear that Christians can expect to commit sins of this kind often. As far as appearing at the Judgment Seat of Christ is concerned, the Bible teaches that Christians will receive different rewards, depending on how well they have done the will of God in their lives. For example, in 1 Cor 3:14-15 we read: 'If anyone’s work that he has built survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned up, he will experience loss, but he himself will be saved -but only as through fire.' Everyone who is a genuine believer in Jesus will be saved for all eternity, but Christians will experience different levels of reward.

When Christ judges us, it will be for what we have done to further the Kingdom with the resources and talents we were given. The most prominent examples of this are the parable about the three servants in Matthew 25:14-30 and 1 Corinthians 3:11-15. This is the judgement Paul is talking about when he discusses, "Finishing the race" and his fears of being disqualified. Did Paul worry that he would lose his salvation? No. Paul was concerned with doing the work that GOD called him to do, and receiving the rewards (We don't know what these will be, the closest description we have is a "crown", though we know it will involve Christ commending us for being a good servant) associated with doing good works for GOD. If you believe in the Gosple and let the LORD lead your life, trust in him, and repent when you mess up, then, as a believer, the only time you will face negative judgement will be if you failed to do all of what you were called to do, and the consequence of this will be Christ's displeasure and "Passing through the fire" (We don't know what this will involve, but it will be unpleasant.) , not the loss of your salvation.

Also, Christ will say "Depart from me, for I did not know you" and that is for those who are false teachers and those you do things for the wrong reasons/"put on a show". These people, like many of the pharisees, claim to know GOD, but don't actually have a serious relationship with him, nor do they care to. They only want to live for themselves. That's why when they say (paraphrasing) "Didn't I do all these amazing things in your name?!" Jesus will say he does not know them, because they didn't do it for HIM, they did it for themselves.

@@stripeshirt7292 That’s what I thought and heard people say. Thanks for the feedback and further information! I appreciate it. God bless!

What does that even mean?

@@2ndPigeon it means that when you're born again I'm Christ he puts a new you in you, and that new person wants to do what God asks for, and by that new person that was created in you by faith in what Christ did you put to death all the desires of the flesh.

You'd think an all powerful being is independent. By desired of the flesh you mean like breathing and eating? I doubt you stopped doing that.

@@yerik7250 I guess you don't know

@@2ndPigeon sorry, I didn't see your response

You nailed it with Romans 8:1 - 8:13. I was soaking those two passages in last night. Notice in v13 "if (you live) by the Spirit you put to death the deeds" (ESV). It does not say "if (you live) by the Spirit "AND" you put to death the deeds". That word "AND" does not exist. Death to the deeds is automatic if "Living by", "walking in", "putting on" are the 3 common allegories of being what you are empowered by the Holy Spirit. That is a new creation!

True!!! But don't read Hebrews 10:26 without a deep study of the entire Chapter and particularly verses 28-38. Taken out of context verse 26 is one of the most twisted scriptures in The Book!!!!

One cannot do anything to contribute to their Spiritual birth, just as we provide no contribution to our bodily birth. Being born again of God’s Spirit can only come about by the undeserved, unmerited, free gift of God’s grace in reconciling the elect to Himself. This is why Jesus said that no one could come to him unless the Father who sent him draws them first. The natural person without the Spirit cannot even comprehend the things of God, let alone accept them. The Gospel is nothing but foolishness to the natural person. Our faith itself is the free gift of God. If there’s anything we’re doing to contribute to our being born again, we would indeed have reason to boast. Its 100% God, 0% man, or it’s another gospel which is no gospel at all. Repentance, the Greek “Metanoia” simply means to change one’s mind; this is impossible without God’s initiating work of regeneration. The natural person without the Spirit is hostile towards God. Hence, repentance and prayer play no role in our being born again, but our being born again leads to repentance and prayer. Blessings

@@Jon-eg7xj What you are saying is that submission to God is (still) an issue for you. You must humble yourself to be obedient to God in all at whatever the cost. Jesus says that another way. Please read Matthew 5:29-30.

Jesus says, "deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow me" (Luke 9:23). How are you going to answer, "I will do that Lord when the consummation of all things arrives." You are complicating the Gospel and not acting like Jesus' burden is light. It is light indeed and if you agree, you will simply obey Him out of love. His commandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. Same idea of his burden being light. Then if you wholeheartedly want to obey Him, you will. It's not a hard thing when your heart is in it. God knows. Keeping God's commandments is the opposite of being lawless or sinning. Again, how can you make any argument in favor of ongoing sin when you agree that Jesus' burden is light? You must submit to God. That is essential: James 4:7-8 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Hebrews 5:9 And having been made perfect, He [Jesus] became the author of 👉 *eternal salvation to all those who obey Him* Nothing says on the way to be perfected you have to remain a sinning rebel before God, so his enemy basically. That's precisely the kind of life Jesus saved from. If the Son sets you free you shall be free indeed (John 8:36). That's directly connected to sinning because the opposite of that is being a slave of sin and committing sin because of that (John 8:34). And then one is not even on the way to any perfection or immortality. It start with freedom from sin.

Your own comment just proved that you are a child of Satan who has no idea what scripture is even relating and that you do not possess the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. Yes, Jesus was the only person who was born without sin but this certainly does not mean that a true believer can never stop sinning. Anyone who truly possesses the Holy Spirit possesses the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and they can overcome any obstacle, especially sin. Jesus did not sin nor did Jesus ever get sick and if you are someone who is truly being guided by His Holy Spirit then it would be impossible for you to sin or to get sick as well. So your comment clearly proves that you are a deceived child of Satan who does not believe that overcoming sin through the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ is possible. “Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9:23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.” ‭‭I Peter‬ ‭4:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭3:4-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ So scripture clearly states that whoever sins does not know God so that is certainly you. Whoever sins is of the devil and that is also certainly you! Whoever abides in God and is born of God cannot sin and does not sin so this is a child of God like me! Scripture also relates that sin is lawlessness and Jesus clearly stated that anyone who practices lawlessness shall not enter the kingdom of God. Once again this applies to your sinful and wicked soul. Anyone who believes that they can never stop sinning is simply a deceived soul who does not understand a thing in regards to scripture or the blessing that Jesus provided for all of mankind. So It is quite obvious that you do not understand that we are all born in sin and that God commanded us to overcome our sinful desires by living a holy and righteous life through His Holy Spirit. This is why we needed a savior to teach us how to stop sinning and this is exactly what Jesus, Peter, Paul and John are relating to us in scripture. Many deceived souls cannot comprehend what scripture is relating and so they often twist verses like 1 John 1:8-10 to try and justify why their wicked souls still sin. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just 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.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭1:8-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Since we are all born in sin and in ignorance of God’s word and truth John was relating how anyone who claims that they have never sinned at some time in their life is then deceived and they do not understand the truth that is being related in scripture. John then wrote that if we would repent and confess our sins to God then God is faithful to forgive us of our sins and He would cleanse us from living a sinful and unrighteousness life. John then related that anyone who believes they have never sinned in this lifetime is then calling God a liar. But nowhere is John ever relating that a believer will always continue to sin or that a believer could never overcome their sins as the children of the devil desire to believe. Those who live in sin and belong to the devil often like to use Paul as their justification for their sinful life. These lost souls are so deceived that they cannot comprehend what Paul was relating in scripture and so they often twist the meanings of Romans 3:10, 3:23 and 7. They fail to realize that in Romans 7 Paul was relating how hard it was for him to stop sinning in his previous life since he was living under the law. Paul then related how he was freed from following his sinful flesh by truly knowing Christ and living through His Holy Spirit. These clueless souls are clearly overlooking how Paul related that he had died to sin and that he was no longer a slave to sin in Romans 6 and they also overlook how Paul related that if you continue to live by your sinful flesh instead of living through the Spirit then you will certainly die in Romans 8. Now in regards to Romans 3:10 Paul is simply relating that none of us are righteous since we are all born in sin and this is why we needed a savior to teach us how to stop sinning. Romans 3:23 is actually stating the same exact thing since it is relating how we are all born in sin and so we all fall short of the glory of God. “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:5-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:14-16‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬ Sometimes the deceived children of the devil will even use Romans 6:23 to justify why they sin and they clearly have no idea that this scripture is relating that if you sin then you will eternally die, hence “the wages of sin is death.” Some will even haphazardly try to use 1 John 2:1-2 to try and justify why they still sin. “My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭2:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ In this above scripture John is simply relating that because we all will sin that Jesus is the atonement for our sins and John certainly is not relating that we can never stop sinning. Nowhere are any of these scriptures ever relating that a believer can never stop sinning or that we will always continue to sin. Anyone who continues to sin certainly does not understand what Jesus related in Matthew 5 and 18. Jesus made it very clear that it was better for us to live a life in this world with a maimed body that did not sin then it would be to possess a complete body that still sinned since the person who sinned would then be cast into the hell fire. “If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:29-30‬ ‭NKJV‬ “If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ So this is the difference between a believer who is a Christian and a believer who is deceived. A deceived believer thinks that they will always sin and they will always have sickness in their life while a true Christian knows they can never sin nor can they ever get sick since they are living their life exactly “like Christ” through His Holy Spirit. So it is quite evident and quite clear that you are just a deceived believer who fell for the devil’s lies and that is why you reason the way that you do. Your very own words have proven that you do not possess the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and you are just a deceived and unbelieving child of Satan whose sinful soul belongs to the devil and you certainly do not belong to God.

What does it mean to be crucified? When Jesus was on the cross being Crucified, he was suffering and feeling excruciating pain. He even felt extremely lonely, for He said, "Father why have you forsaken me!" He had to endure the loneliness, the excruciating pain and suffering until He was dead? He says to us that we must also take up our cross and DENY ourselves and follow him. And when we really decide in our hearts to follow him and allow ourselves to be crucified with him, we will know that we are being crucified, when we experence the pain and suffering of feeling the withdrawals after giving up cigeretts, drugs and alcohol. We will know that we are being crucified when we feel the extreme loneliness of not being able to have sex with someone you are not married to. You know that you are being crucified when you no longer allow your flesh to be gratified by watching porn all night, and masturbating. When you are being crucified, from all of your sinful desires, and from all of your lustful cravings, your flesh will suffer on that cross. But you must not come down from that cross to take a cigerette break. You must not come down from that cross to go to the liquor store to buy liquor. You must not come down from that cross to have sex with someone that you are NOT married to. You must not come down from that cross to watch porn and masturbate. But you must stay on that cross and endure the sufferenting until you are DEAD. (DEAD to all of your sinful desires, and DEAD to all of your lustful cravings.) And that is what the Bible means when it says to us, CRUCIFY YOUR FLESH. And that is what it means TO BE CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST.

*IF* my flesh was crucified - why do I still sin? That's a better way to ask the question in order to get to the bottom of the problems, whatever they may be. Even Romans 6:8 says "IF we have died with Christ..." The argument is not with "BECAUSE we have died with Christ..." as this message says (video @ 12:07). There is nothing paradoxical in what the scriptures teach as this message suggests (video @ 12:29). If something is a sure fact, then what is supposed to follow it will follow it. But if no time is taken to make sure that "we have died with Christ" or "our old man was crucified with Him" or to humbly examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith and not just assume such is the case (2 Corinthians 13:5), then a person will not see the light in any struggles with sin and will just assume that is normal (encouraged by those who preach a lie). The truth is there is no way to become a new creature (video @ 12:37), with old things having passed away and all things having become new (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 4:17-24) without genuine repentance. A person cannot just believe he is a new creature when the steps have never been taken to be in Christ Jesus and under no condemnation, not walking according to the flesh but according to the Spirit, having been made free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-2).

Are you denying yourself from gratifying the cravings/desires of the flesh, that is, anything God would not lead you to, you refuse to go that way in obedience to God? If so, that is how you die with Jesus. You become _dead to sin_ (Romans 6:2, Romans 6:11, 1 Peter 2:24) in order to live for God. Galatians 5:24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. That is the "death" with Christ. Getting baptized in water is what you will do in obedience to God as that is a command (Acts 2:38), but the water itself does not cause you to die with Christ.

It doesn't happen like "magic" We need to take time to feed on the Word, asking the Holy Spirit to teach us, to open our spiritual eyes, ears, to give us understanding, and then obey and apply what we read.

We are to step down from the throne in our heart/spirit - submit to God and invite Him to sit on that throne to govern our lives! The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God, we are no longer "independent" (independence from God is the original sin that brought death). We need to transform our mind feeding on the Word of God, and seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit at all times, communicating with Him,being aware He is God, Holy, and we submit to Hi

What does it mean to call a person's heart?

@@2ndPigeon it means that Jesus convicts your heart and brings a person to the realization that he or she is a sinner separated from Him and that they need Him in their lives to save them from sin and hell, which is sin’s eternal consequence

@@elisabethtrotter4564 I still don't k ow what it means. My heart pumps blood. Nothing more. Who would be sending me to hell?

@@elisabethtrotter4564 I guess you don't know

@@2ndPigeon it’s not that I don’t know. Right now I am dealing with a progressive neurological disease-strongly suspected MS. As such, I’m tired and in pain most of the time, and so it takes time for me to rest up. To answer your question, “heart” is not the literal blood-pumping organ; it’s referring to your feelings instead. I can remember one summer, when I was a college student, I worked at a Wal-Mart in Oklahoma. I hadn’t been to church in years, but the one Sunday I worked there, I started to feel different. I began to feel uneasy that I was selling makeup instead of being in church that day. I also began to remember all the wrong things that I had done, and began to feel uneasy about what I had done. It took some time, but I accepted Jesus the following January. Long story short, Jesus convicted me emotionally of my sins and consequential separation from Him. Now the hard part: to answer your second question, Jesus does NOT send anybody to hell. Neither does any other person. A person chooses hell when they deliberately reject Jesus (the only One that can save them from such a fate) for the rest of their lives.

Because Salvation doesn't mean you're nolonger living in the world, and demons will always want to attack the kingdom of God, now this is so different from being demon possessed.

@@godsfriend8513 Does it mean that temptation is also coming to try to get you as you repent?

Even Jesus fought temptations and fought Satan in the wilderness, but he was perfect. We are living in the time between the first and second comings of Jesus, in the time of already-and-not-yet, when the kingdom of God is already up and running but hasn't yet reached its perfect form. So we fight sin and demons and struggle with being in this imperfect world.

@NEAR TERM EXTINCTION - HUMAN Using your tongue as a weapon, spreading words that are proof that one is an unbeliever and such, what are you even doing here? Jesus Christ does exist, He gave His life for our sins, the modern world has turned into a world of sin again, and He will be coming again. Who knows what will happen. We will never know when, and what, and where

1 Peter 4:12 1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for *he who has suffered in the flesh has 👉 ceased from sin,* 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the desires of men, but for the will of God. What we should become is freed from sin. That is how the Bible says it (John 8:36, Romans 6:6-7, Romans 6:18, Romans 6:22). It also says being dead to sin (Romans 6:2, Romans 6:11, 1 Peter 2:24). And also that the person who is abiding in Jesus does not sin (1 John 3:6). We ought to look at these scriptures and understand freedom from sin (it's not continuing to sin, less or not).

@NEAR TERM EXTINCTION - HUMAN What is your problem dude? You're everywhere with this shit.

Well, it all boils down to faith. Either you except God's word or man's word. And it's not just words, it's God breathed: 2 Timothy 3:16-17--------- ''All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.'' Nature itself testifies to a creator: Romans 1:20--------- ''For from the creation of the world the invisible things of Him are clearly seen, being understood through the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.'' It's not hard to be saved, like John 3:16 and Romans 10:9 say (and many others), to be saved one must have faith in Jesus Christ, who paid for all our sins in full at the cross. He died for you and me, he went through intense suffering and spilled his perfect, sinless blood for the forgiveness of everyones sins. I encourage you to look up those two latter verses (Jhn 3:16 and Rmns 1:20)😀

@@devinsanders8596 I'd actually would love to know how you differentiate man's word from God's word.

@@2ndPigeon God's word has consistently been true and is timeless, everything from creation to fullfilled prophecies. On the other hand, for example, politicians. They say all that they say during their campange, but do they actually fullfill all that they promise? The same could be said for any human, we are all sinful, because of Adam and Eve's disobedience. We all lie. In our fallen, sinful state, we do often lie and I'm sure you have (I too am not innocent). Now God's word says, all who break his moral law (10 commandements) are to be sentenced to death, for : ''the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.'' Jesus the son of God, came to Earth to save us from sin, see, all of us have broken God's commandments, so by default, declared by God's perfect righteousness and justice, are deserving of death. But Jesus died, suffered and spilled his blood on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. All that is required to be saved is faith in Jesus, that he payed your sin debt in full and that he can save you😄! Hope this helps!

​@@devinsanders8596 I doubt you're accurate on this. Exodus 21 gives us the rules on how buy and beat your slaves. That's not timeless as we've moved past such barbaric things. And there is a prophecy that the city of Tier will fall for example. It still hasn't, so there goes your argument that it's consistant. To be clear, what parts of the bible do you think is man's word and what parts God's word? Like The Begats for example. Why are you on about lying so much? Lying isn't always a bad thing. Even God himself did it when he said Adam and Eve would surely die after eating the apple, or to Isaac to a certain extent. I see no evidence that anybody but humans wrote the bible. Nothing else can hold a pen and write. Same goes for the Torah, Qu'ran, Vedas, Book of Mormen etc. The Muslims especially give the same talking points you do regarding prophecies and lack of contradictions, but you don't take those seriously right?

God did give and Eve a law. It was the 10 commandments. When He told them not to eat of the forbidden tree, it was a law and a commandment that was not to be broken. And within that 1 law there were 10 Commandments. They broke his 1 law which contained His 10 commandments. Look at the 10 commandments one by one and see if you can see each of the 10 commandments that they broke. Some of them will be hard for you to see like "Thou shalt not commit adultery. The word Adultery means to be UNFAITHFUL. When Adam and Eve had a Spiritual encounter with the devil, they were UNFAITHFUL to the Almighty Creator. Another one that is diffulcult to see is "Thou shalt keep the Sabbath day." They were created on the 6 day (Friday morning) when the sun set on Friday evening, it was the 7th day (Satturday) The Sabbath. They were supposed to meet with the Almighty creator on the Sabbath, as soon as the sun set on that Friday evening. They broke that commandment when they did not show up on that Sabbath to meet with their creator. And when they broke that Commandment, of not keeping the Sabbeth by fellowshipping with thei creator, The Almighty Creator Yehovah Elohym cried out, "ADAM WHERE ARE YOU!!!!" I helped you see a few of the commandments which were the laws that they broke. See if you can see all 10 of the laws or commandments that they broke. If you truly seek, The Lord will reveal the rest of them to you.

God did Adam and Eve a Law, it was the 10 Commandments. See my other comment.

No. It means you deny yourself from gratifying the cravings/desires of the flesh, that is, anything God would not lead you to, you refuse to go that way in obedience to God. Galatians 5:24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

So the physical body is evil?

@@mattr.1887 No, it's someone's desires that drive him/her that can be evil. If your mind is set on obeying God, there is nothing that won't be made clear to you about how God wants you to walk with Him.

So the flesh is evil?

The Bible mentions freedom from sin: John 8:34-36 34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, *whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.* 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore *if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.* Being set free from bondage to sin is not theory. And what should be the result of crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24)? If that has happened, then sin will not continue. Both you and this message explain sinning like it's normal for someone whose flesh was crucified with Christ indeed (Romans 6:6-7). The Bible teaches differently.

You need to be able to relate to what this scripture says: 1 John 3:6 Whoever abides in Him [Jesus] *does not sin.* Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

@yestothetruth Absolutely, but they still need to consciously kill the flesh daily! 1 John 3 as well, but they still need to decide to abide in this Truth John chapters 10-17, daily asking for the infilling and leading of the Holy Spirit, because until that day, like Noah was in the ark for 7 days with the door shut, but no rain whatsoever. If he decides to go out of the ark, he could still open the door from the inside, but will never be able to come back into the ark. Matthew 24:13. That's why Believers encourage one another until He returns to redeem His purchased possession as He promised!
