in spirit to the high places, bearing with me the hopes and the miseries of my mother; and there — empowered

Not sure i am convinced because how do you explain the verse an eye for an eye
in the old testament there have always been consequences for wrong doing and stiill are for sin.If we
believe the word then that word is from God not satan.As far as satan is concerned he uses violence as his tools of trade he works on our fears and is limited to robbing stealing and destroying he does nt have anything else.Violence confirms to us that there is a spiritual battle going on both on the earthly plane and
in the heavenlys and the battle is over souls.The verse the kingdon of
heaven is expanding and violent people take it
by force is referring to that spiritual battle and as satan uses violence to expand his dominion so does God use violence to counter him.So what does he mean
by that term for me i think it is saying that the the force of evil that satan uses or violence is overcome
by a greater violence or force a more powerful one that being the Love of Christ.Through the cross we see that clearly portrayed and
in our lives that very same battle is still happening right now for dominion be clear if we walk
in the flkesh satan will have dominion over us but if we walk according to the spirit and abide
in Christ we have freedom from our old nature.and satan.He can oppose us but he wont be able to influence us if we are
in Christ.
Jeremy Myers, i think you are wrong and David is right, so many out there are preaching you can live any way you want and be right that Grace covers any sin, they really
believe that, that is not what the bible says, God was very concerned about sin so much he sent Jesus his son to die on a cross for us, if we accept Jesus as our savor then we are to obey his commandments, not break them, we are to live a righteous and holy life as possible, the bible plainly list a whole list of things if we live
in will not to to
heaven unless we repent, if we die while
in these sins, we will not go to
heaven, what is the difference, between someone who said a prayer and someone who did not, and they are living the same way, none, i think, if we are truly saved it should be hard to do these things let alone live and do them everyday, i would be afraid to tell people that it does not matte grace covers their sins, i really think it is the slip ups that we are convicted of
by the Holy Spirit and we ask for forgivness, how can anyones heart be right with God and they have sex all the time out of marriage, lie, break every commandment of God, i don't think this is meaning grace covers those sins, until they repent and ask for forgiveness, a lot of people will end up
in hell because preachers teach Grace the wrong way,, and those preachers will answer to God for leading these people the wrong way, not saying you are one of them, but be careful, everything we teach or preach must line up with the word of God, God hates sin,

heaven by anything other than

Ross the bible is quite clear that it is not
by works that we are saved but
by the finished work of Christ.We are saved the moment we accept Christ.Can you say that you stopped sinning the moment you accepted Christ i certainly did nt it was ingrained
in my old nature.When we have the holy spirit he helps us to be transformed into Christ likeness that process is sanctification.You are right there is no condemnation to those that are
in Christ Jesus.The bible says that Jesus and the father are
in heaven and the holy spirit is with believers though they are one they are also separate individuals.As far as sin is concerned we can not
in our own strength live a christian life it is impossible only though trusting the holy spirit
by accepting Jesus can we live a life as overcomers.If we choose to accept sin
in our lives after becoming christians then we can not become overcomers i think people accept Christ for the benefits and then live there lives for themselves i used to.I do nt know about but how is it going are you overcoming sin
in your life or i know i am able because the holy spirit helps me.I do nt have to try anymore i just have to
believe that through Christ the holy spirit empowers me to do that which i cant.I appreciate your comments.regards brentnz
