Calvin and Luther were both students of Augustine and passed his false teaching to the whole Protestant movement. Hence we hear these false teachings in churches that tell us we cannot walk in the resurrection power of the Spirit and overcome all sin.<br />Truth Speakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553489240963779719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605243039476739270.post-43674870302635697902011-09-01T22:50:49.001-04:002011-09-01T22:50:49.001-04:00Hey brother!

I'm glad I noticed it, as it added to something <br />I've been working on--an overview of scripture's teaching on sin, temptation, judgment and holiness. This has definitely refreshed my mind on some things it needed refreshing on, and there were certain ways you had of saying things that I trust you won't mind my borrowing--giving you credit for them, of course! I'll need to listen to this a few more times to get it all straight in my mind. Howard and I were discussing how the dual nature teaching put forth by many (especially the denomination Hubert came out of, the Baptists) is nothing more at its black roots than gnosticism brushed up with modern hair dye. We have found through the studies we've done that where scripture says the body is sown corrupt, that refers to our MORTALITY, NOT to the corruption of sin (our language has changed from the meaning of that old King James English over the years since the KJV was written). Scripture plainly says whoever committs fornication sins against his own body. Ecc 5:6 says 'suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error:'. We see by just these two scriptures that it is not the flesh that does the sinning. The apostle says 'I pray God your body, soul and spirit be PRESERVED BLAMELESS'--that is the personal side of the whole man. This doctrine of gnosticism, no matter what organization preaches it, tells the world that what Satan and the fall of man brought about is greater than God's plan of salvation through the cross! And that Satan's power and what was wrought by the fall were too great for God in Christ to overcome at the cross. This is blasphemy. The word 'destroyed' you refer to in John's book and Romans 6:6 (katargeo) is one which Lee has stressed in her own teaching (Lee's note: thanks for pointing out it was in John's epistle also, as I did not know this, and it adds to my understanding). The law of sin and death in our members has been done away with when Christ set us free, and now we serve from the heart through the law of liberty in Christ Jesus (liberty never being license). We know the Lord will bless you as you share these wonderful truths, and that Hubert, looking on from amongst a great cloud of witnesses sees and his soul is satisfied. (Lee: I hope to be able to discuss these matters more with you as I progress in what I'm working on, at your convenience if that is all right with you.) Blessings in Christ, Howard and Lee.lmilzizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095471707369161164noreply@blogger.com
