We are cover...Interesting post, Arthur and timely. We are covering the book of Romans in Bible study at Church. Yesterday's lesson was on Romans 7... paul's remarks on how he does what he doesn't want to do and he doesn't do what he should...<br /><br />There was a debate about whether paul was speaking of himself before he came to the Lord or after....<br /><br />Pastor was open to hearing our thoughts on it.<br /><br />What do you think? Do you think Paul was speaking of himself after receiving the Lord? Or prior?<br /><br />Look forward to hearing your remarks,<br /><br />gloria<br /><br />ps. we were also discussing this idea of do we still sin as saved individuals... we are no longer slaves to sin, but to righteousness ( Romans 6)<br />What do you think?<br /><br />I personally believe I am still a sinner. Some in the class said "no"... but I said "yes".. the flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing.I am the Clayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746787843582356037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643715.post-52370178402614017762009-08-27T00:25:10.737-04:002009-08-27T00:25:10.737-04:00Sins vs sin.
When we focus on the individual sins...Sins vs sin.<br /><br />When we focus on the individual sins, we often think we can improve, knock them down, become better Christians.<br /><br />If we focus on sin (our condition) we realize that we are in bondage to sin and cannot free ourselves (but need a Savior).<br /><br />Somewhere in Scripture there is a verse that says if we believe and are batized we will be saved. (so don;t poo-poo baptism) It is important enough for Jesus to command us to do it.<br /><br />Galatians 3:27 says "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ."<br /><br />Anyway, my 2 cents.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504238047156860312noreply@blogger.com
