There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom.8:1
Chances are great that you do not have the last ten words of the above verse if you are using anything other than an AV1611 King James Bible. We will start our study with this reminder, if the Holy Ghost had not meant to say, “who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit”, He would not have said it! He (the Holy Ghost) did say it and it would do us well to understand why. If your “bible” does not have those last ten words of this verse, it is now a good time to run out and buy an AV1611 Holy Bible.
This verse would seem to imply that the Christian who does not walk after the Spirit, but rather walks after the flesh is in danger of eternal damnation (HELL). This implication may be one of many reasons the Pentecostal holiness groups, charismatics, egotistical works salvation street preachers and others prefer “bibles” other than the AV1611. Now lets look at this verse line upon line and precept upon precept and you will have no need to run to the easy to read modern bibles.
The words condemnation and damnation in the Bible does not always refer to Hell, but it can. Look with me at John 5:24 for a reference to Hell. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and beleiveth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not fall into condemnation: but is passed from death unto life. No doubt the Lord is talking about the DAMNATION OF Hell in the preceeding verse and declaring eternal security when He uses the phrase “IS PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE”.
Now look at the words CONDEMNED and DAMNATION in 1Cor. 11:,32 and 29 concerning chastisement, condemnation and communion where it does AND does not refer to Hell. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned {go to Hell} with the world. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
What is the damnation to himself in verse 29? We are told in verse 30 of the same chapter, For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. My dear friends condemnation of the born again believer is not Hell, but chastisement. Now, you can rest in the Lord and get yourself an AV1611 Holy Bible and continue with these Bible studies.
Which part of this post sounds catholic to you?
The only thing you two do is berate people, you don’t go to the scriptures at all.
You don’t teach, you abuse.
Sounds catholic to me!
Your are nuts. Even Dan Poole has NOT been able to straighten you out doctrinally, though he has tried and tried.
Yet again you don’t know the scriptures! We serve God;
(1 John 5:7) “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
We; “worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Its the testimony of Jesus that is God.
Revelation 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
That is what I have been waiting for; for you to show me IN THE SCRIPTURES, that its not the testimony of Jesus that we are supposed to be worshiping. Show me IN THE SCRIPTURES that the Word is not God!
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
We serve a triune God. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is God. Look at my post on Pentecostals : Why I Cannot Join Them for more info. on this subject of Jesus Only that you seem to be promoting here. The Spirit is not the paper and ink of any Bible. You have inspired me to write a post in the near future that will help many like yourself. Do you go to a Pentecostal or Charismatic church?
(Romans 8:1) “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
But my question for you is, “WHO is the spirit of God?”
2 Samuel 23:2 The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
It seems that the spirit of God is the Word. In fact look here;
(John 6:63-64) “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. {64} But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.”
But you don’t believe do you?
(1 John 5:7-8) “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. {8} And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.”
Romans 8:1 says to walk after the Spirit (the Whole Word of God)
