Like being spiritually bipolar? I'm saying that in all seriousness. Because being in Christ is not performed with human discipline. So while you grow in maturity there is a time when you mature. Through the power of the Holy Ghost.

How is what you're saying different from what I'm saying? Because so far, you've not accurately described my point, even if you disagree.

In all our conversations, you've yet to actually say you're sinless. Why?

You posted that your sinless. Correct?

What I'm saying is that you can lead an overcoming life. You said and posted last week that it was impossible. I'm asking why?

Have former things passed away, behold He makes all things new? Aren't we new creations in Christ?

Re: Do you think Revelations is enigmatic?

Demon harassment on rare occasions? Does that happen when we shift out of the mind of Christ?

Aquila If you didn't believe the mind of Christ wasn't like a gear on a car. Then why do you believe you shift in and out to give into sinful desires?

Re: Do you think Revelations is enigmatic?

Isn't it true that you have to walk after the Spirit so that you don't fulfil the lust of the flesh? So we are born again of the Spirit, but we have to feed the Spirit with the Word and prayer, and walk in obedience, we are not robots, we still have the ability to choose and we still have the ability to make mistakes, sin even. It could be a momentary lapse of bad attitude, gossip, lack of love toward a brother in Christ, which the Spirit checks us on and we repent and are forgiven.
