@AsburyBran97089 @BrysonGray Gotcha, Mark and avoid. Thank you.

@LizzieMarbach They really should’ve defined return to ministry. One would hope that they meant he could minister within the local Body of believers he worships with, not as an elder, but an in encourager a helper. The vagueness does not look good for them or him.

@AsburyBran97089 @BrysonGray So according to you, Jesus lied when he said, I am the way the truth in the life no man comes into the father, but by me?

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@AsburyBran97089 @BrysonGray Nope, only Christ and him crucified. Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life, no man comes unto the father but by me.
And I got rid of my little black book when I got married

@neeva_walters Shame upon shame

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@Protestia Godliness for gain….Scripture has something to say about that

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @sagittariusxxl @HomesteadAmeric @BrysonGray So what is the conclusion that your theology mandates?

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray Hopefully none of us are. For now I’ll take your word on that. Would we also agree that although verse divisions are not, God breathed, they were instituted by man for ease in teaching and discussion

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray I would point out that yes versus were man-made, however, you also repeatedly using verses.

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray Then what is the point of us being raised in incorruption if we’re not still living in a body that is dying and decaying? Do you not believe in the resurrection of the dead?

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray *now, not no

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray I think you mean the next verse that was a complete verse. No I would take that in context and refer you to Romans 8:23

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray Romans 8:10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray I would add this. If you are constantly living in un repentance, sin, and claiming to be a Christian, scripture is Clear you are not a Christian that would be the difference between habitual willful sin and occasional sin

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray Judicially is spiritually in this case. Let’s make this personal. Are you a Christian? And if you are, have you sinned since becoming a Christian?

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray That answer falls under the example of a false trade-off. A logical fallacy. We are righteous in Christ as far as judicial verdict is concerned, but we still struggle and will sin as first John makes pretty clear while we’re this side of heaven.

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray Our standing before God is righteous due to Christ’s imputed righteousness, but as Paul said we are still living in our flesh, and our flesh is subject to the lust of the world, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life

[mike riggs @riggs139]

@themendelbrain @HomesteadAmeric @sagittariusxxl @BrysonGray Only partially. You forgot to take the whole counsel of God. you left out the verses of why we have to confess our sins. Why we confess our faults to one another so that we may pray for one another etc., have you seen since becoming a Christian, might clarify the verses left out
