Comments on: Excuses for Sin http://letspleasegod.com/excuses-for-sin/ Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:55:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nealreal http://letspleasegod.com/excuses-for-sin/comment-page-1/#comment-326 Nealreal Sat, 12 Mar 2011 02:56:46 +0000 http://letspleasegod.com/?p=530#comment-326 Another thing. The born again believer doesn't make excuses for sin, he's responsible for what his body does and thinks even though his flesh did it (read Roms 7-8). He must take control by willing to combat the flesh daily, but in the power of the Spirit. Without the Spirit, the new man can't win. Anyone going around and making excuses for their sin is probably not born again. Anyone who isn't growing may not be born again. A baby that doesn't grow is probably a stillborn - in other words: dead to God, in their sins and never was truly regenerated. A child of God hates sin and seeks to overcome it in all areas of his/her life. A bastard (or a child of the devil), keeps on sinning and doesn't want to take responsibility for it, nor does he/she want to stop. Another thing.

We begin to sin less and less after we are born again. The great war in our bodies is against our flesh which is the filth in our soul which was left over from the old man (before Christ). Now that we've been born again (if you've been born again), we seek to obey Jesus in our new man and we hate sin. Our new man, now doesn't sin like the old man, he wants to do right and obey God. But he needs help from the Holy Spirit because his flesh will always try to get him to sin. The new man gets strength from the Holy Spirit. When the born again Christian sins, it's because he's weak and has not yielded to the Holy Spirit. Learning to yield the Spirit, by willing to combat our flesh is a growing process. The more we learn this discipline, the less we sin. This is one of the hardest things to do in this world. Hope that answers your question. Read Romans 1-10. This will give you all you need.

The bottom line is: the name isn't that deep, its more about our obedience to God through the power of the Holy Spirit and if in fact we are doing that or just making excuses for why we don't want to. <i> 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (Gal 5:16-18,22-23)</i> Let's focus on learning to hear from God and obey him, and not get caught up on days, names and laws. We can't fulfill the law. Yet the law is fulfilled in love as we yield to the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore we'll automatically fulfill the law by walking the Spirit - the Spirit does it for us.

But they also REFUSED beforehand, to look into the fact that their "Sabbath" was NOT from GOD, but a man-made ALTERNATIVE, taking AWAY from God, HIS right as CREATOR to expect that HIS PEOPLE will obey HIS COMMAND to KEEP His SABBATH. (in Spanish, Saturday is SABBADO - or, Sabbath! - they AT LEAST kept the NAME, even if they LOST the MEANING! - So we who persist in keeping the false day, DISOBEY - DISHONOUR - DISRESPECT - God, and show HIM our CREATOR, that we really DON'T LOVE HIM!

But SIN goes even FURTHER - like when we refuse to accept God's Commandments, which are the BASIS of Belief in God and Yashua (corrupted English = Jesus.) - If we dont accept His 4th commandment, then we by DEFAULT break every other commandment! - think hard on this: we stole from God His Authorized day, Committed ADULTERY with the Enemy Satan, etc... - so no WONDER that so many "Christian" Churches keep sinning and getting in fact WORSE, by accepting Homosexuality - even into the priesthood! - or accepting ABORTION without objection or voting AGAINST those polititians who protect murder of babies!

As a Catholic, this is something I pray my Protestant brothers and sisters who subscribe to Sola Fide come to understand. I also pray for my Catholic brothers and sisters who ignore the interior life and merely go through the motions. Excellent thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
