You covered the good tree/seed nicely. If the "fruit" is sin, from what "seed/plant" is it gendered ? The devil's.

I don't know how you arrived at that POV. There were past sins in my life before my repentance and rebirth. Any sins from that point on would be "new sins". Now you are just making things up. I forgive you though, as you are just zealously defending what you believe. I am glad, however, for...

That is right. If they had kept loving God and neighbor they could continue being Christians. Sin showed they never repented of sin or gotten reborn of God's seed. Their prior Christianity was a charade. Yeah, it is a sort of homonym. And "might" is a synonym of "strength". It all just blended...

Is there a right or wrong answer to hypothetical questions ? How much time would I be given ? Frankly speaking, I could talk about the bible for the rest of my natural life.

Yes, the answer..."My own sins"...was to your question of "What sins had I repented of?". I had to turn from my past sins in order to become a Christian. A non-Christian's sin.

That was never a claim of mine. All men commit sin until they repent of sin and get reborn of God's seed. I am a Christian.

Can you find "my creed" somewhere here ? Paul writes that "the Spiritual man judges all things." I agree with him. I don't know if there is a condensed version of the bible.

I'm sorry you can't understand it.

Roger: 3rd, and last question from your post #385 "You don't really put much stock in rebirth, do you ?

Roger: 2nd question..."And if converted, why do the things one has converted from ?" If I was converted from unbelief, serving sin, hate, lust, greed, etc, how can I still call myself "converted" if I return to those killers?

Roger: 1st question..."Can you not make the connection between Jesus' "fig trees not bearing grapes and grape vines not bearing figs" with "God's seed not bring forth the fruit of the devil" ? The seed dictates what kind of fruit something can bear. Those reborn of God's seed cannot be liars...

That wasn't a question. It is a shame they don't believe the rest of what is written. Like that they could stop sinning. You may be unaware of the twelve at Ephesus' experience in Acts 19:5-7..."When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid...

Then it was probably easy for you to see my own "sarcasm" with my answer to the question of "Are you God"? Wouldn't God know the day the earth will end ? Jesus didn't know. Wouldn't God know who will sit on the Lord's right and left in the end? Jesus didn't know. He gave up some of His former...

I've never heard of them/that. I agree. But in chapter 7, he revisits his old life style, living in the flesh and not in the Spirit. He recounts his failures to keep the Law and laments his inabilities. But at the end of chapter 7, he tells how he escaped all of it. Verse 5 says..."For when we...

Having no new sins is the result of repenting from sin. Cleanliness is the product of the washing away of past sins by the blood of Christ at water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ.

As salvation will be determined on the last day, I still have to uphold my beliefs/faith until then. What I think of myself today may change in ten years.

He is one who loves God with his whole heart, soul, might and strength. And he loves his neighbor as he loves himself. Jesus answered the scribe this way..."And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is...

Men aren't born as Christians. It is something they choose to commit to. I never said I had never committed sins. If I hadn't sinned, I would have nothing to repent of. If a man's repentance from sin is true, he will never commit another sin. More sin would manifest that the repentance was a...

My own sins. I never said I had never committed sins. Thanks to the gracefulness of God, I heard the truth and repented-turned from sin, and got baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of my past sins. (Acts 2:38) Having obeyed Peter's directive, I receiver the gift of the Holy...

Sorry, ok doser. Your "resume" doesn't make mention of your gender.
