HelloLeadThemToCHRIST-

I answer this question on page 95-96 of The Graham Formula. You can download the book for free. There I deal with the two ways of interpreting Romans 7:14-25. As long as the saint lives in a physical body, he will struggle. The problem is when saints and heathen use Romans 7:14-25 to justify the abandonment of the Spirit versus flesh struggle. Heathen use it to justify a Godless salvation and saints use it to justify a Holy Spiritless one.

[LeadThemToCHRIST]

I understand what Paul is saying in Rom 6:12-14 and have seen deliverance from some major sin in my life over the past 12 years. Are we not to struggle with any sin art all? Didn't Payl even say "I do things I don't want to and don't do things I want to" also, did he not have a thorn he struggled with? Do you still have sin you battle with or is sin COMPLETELY gone?

Hello LeadThemToCHRIST-

Paul spoke to Christians when he said in Romans 6:12-14 says "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace." God bless you.

Patrick-

After watching your video it really made sense. I have always believed that a "prayer" was not what God was looking for. Over the past 1 years I have seen God work in my life. The ony thing I am struggling with now is some sin that I can't seem to get rid of. I have given it to God numerous times but seem to not get victory. Is this because maybe I am not regenerated by the Holy Spirit who is supposed to give power over sin? I have seen many other areas in my life heading to the Cross.

Hello gtr362-

Thank you for your insightful comment. Emotions, like good works, can be an outward sign of an inward grace, but not necessarily.

[gtr362]

Born Again? Why after the emotional experience that you call being born again, are you no different? Being "born again' has a lot more to do with things traditional dogma and current traditional religion have no idea of, many are called, few are chosen, do you truly seek to be "born again", it's a birth that you can experience, but it's not what the emotional, altar bunch think it is. Seek the religion of Jesus, not the religion about Jesus, Greater things that I do shall you do, now learn.
