    what we need is a coherent perception of these terms that are used that pertain to the works of the flesh and that which speaks of Adams sin.

    What salvation is being delivered from sin.

    whether the man of the heart being born again born of God Spirit is capable of sin, verses the believer yielding his members as instruments to sin, Romans 6: 13-16 the works of the flesh.

    He who is born of God cannot sin, and the man of the heart is christ in us the hope of glory, and is our new self, Romans 6: 4, 7: 6.

    Colossians 1: 27 speaks of the rule and to those who walk an accordance to God's workmanship, Galatians 6: 15-16, Ephesians 2: 10, 2 Corinthians 5: 17.

    This new man is the created in righteousness and true holiness because of god's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3: 27

    Now the rule is speaking from out of the abundance of the workmanship of God in the Heart where the believer believes unto righteousness. This wisdom James 3: 17-18 will lead the body in the direction God wills; and anyone sowing to the flesh will not inherit the kingdom of God.

    If we sow to the flesh we will reap corruption, but if we sow to the Spirit we will reap life, this is the grace we are saved by through faith, not only for the heart in the spirit, but also for the members of the soul, the will and mind the intellect with the emotions and feelings.

    He who is born of God the spirit of the heart, with having eternal life the life of the Son 1 John 5: 9-12, Colossians 1: 27-29, 1 Corinthians 2: 6-7 is the faith and the knowledge that is the unity of Christ, and is unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, Ephesians 4: 13

    Is it possible to not sin in your wisdom and believing, and what if a man should obey Acts 20: 32 and eat of the grace and faith that is vested in the word of God?

    we are built up into Christ, and 1 Thessalonians 2: 13 says the that the word will effectually work in the believing heart, with the indwelling of the Spirit is.

    I know you want to use 1 John 1: 6-8 But wil you allow me to have verse 7

    Inherit the kingdom of God speaks of an active working power of God through the Spirit, and isn't speaking about going to heaven or not. The kingdom of God is in righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Spirit The Jewish believer continued to disimmulate the love of God toward the Gentile believers, which was the reason their joy wasn't full,verse 4 The Love of God is the light spoken here and bridges off of Paul's teaching 1 Corinthians 13. It is the Love that fulfills the law of God, that is given to us by the faith of Christ, Romans 3: 21-26 5:5- 6

    Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness,

    and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to

    save your souls. James 1:21

    In this passage, James is talking to Christians,

    yet he states that the soul has to be saved.

    He is referring to the mind.

    The body only does what it is told to do.

    However, if the mind has not been renewed,

    it will continue to follow sinful habits.

    The difference between Christians who struggle with sin

    and sinners is this: the Christian commits acts of sin

    during moments of weakness. The sinner, on the other hand,

    deliberately and willfully practices sin.

    Christians who sin will experience an inward war ;

    they will feel guilt or conviction on the inside when they do wrong.

    Christians will occasionally commit acts of sin,

    but sin is no longer their practice.They now have an innate desire

    to be free from that sin, and will seek the Lord and repent.

    Every action is preceded by a thought.

    The more that I keep my thoughts in line with God's thoughts;

    the less likely it is that I will sin.

    Now that I am a Christian, I realize that I can choose

    to follow Jesus and sin less often.

    My Heart is so far from Gods purity that I am sure we sin all the time and don't even know it.That is how bad man kind have sunk. We are so polluted it is pathetic but when we can see a sin coming our way and we know it is... the obvious ones ,then we can cry out ABBA, help me please not to do this one,or think this one. As a Man thinketh so is he. Our Minds next to our Tongues are still our worst enemy. Do I make the effort Not to sin...all the time. Remember the more you love God and want to keep His ways the more Satan and the world hates you. Our Jesus was so Perfect and did not make one mistake ever..no sin ever. And look how much Satan and the world hated Him? Sometimes, probably, a lot of the time I over obsess on things that are unjust. Cruelty in our Government and deceit. I am not exactly loving my neighbor at this point...but it takes me a bit of time to recognize what I am doing and that is when I cry out for help.I try to Run my thoughts and not let my thoughts Run me. It is not easy but it does help to keep my thoughts on Christ continuously and it eliminates some of the mind wondering. Satan loves when you are not thinking of Christ. Pray consistently, Christ says ,which everything He says is good for us. Love in Him..missleslie

    I am aware that we all sin but i get disgusted at those Christians that think they are perfect and ruin the lives of new christians or the ones that don't grow as fast as others belittling them because they made a mistake causing them to doubt their salvation or judging prematurely it is our Job as christians to disciple, mature and multiply disciples, we can not do this if we set our goals so high that they cannot be reached for the first thing a young christians is going to feel or hear from satan see there you have sinned and you are not a christian anymore and here comes the doubt it is our job as christians to seek the Lord and the closer we get to him the less we sin but God loves us even if we fail so should our brothers and sisters in christ so yes i am very willing to admit we all fall short of the glory of God but because of the Holy Spirit that lives inside me it is second nature to desire and seek the face of my Lord growing closer and committing less and less sin every day 1 John 1:8 states "if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us " I believe the bible is the true word of God do you ? so i will never tell anyone that i am with out sin but at the same time i will strive to be as sin free as i possibly can

    2 Corinthians 10:3-6

    3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

    1 Corinthians 10:13

    There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

    If I should fall. Thank God for His Mercy that I can get back up.

    The Bible says we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. I try not to sin but it's impossible, only God is perfect and sinless. I'm just glad I have a forgiving Father to go to when I do fall short and sin and I can ask for forgiveness.

    We are all sinners but the children of GOD understand this and try to avoid it by learning how to stay away from it.

    Not always successful as we are flawed humans but we can eliminate a lot of those careless sins that come back to haunt us.

    Yes, we should do our best to avoid sin. But, we are still man and fall short of the glory of God. We can never forget that, because when we begin to think to much of ourselves, then we are being prideful, and pride is the most dangerous of sins, and one God hates. Most sin comes from pride. We do not have to fall to temptation, if we give it to Christ. But, until Christ does His perfect work in us, we are still sinful at heart.

    You try not to sin, but being human we are all acceptable to sin. The trick is to know that sin is hidden all around us. That's why you need to stay diligent and to pray for forgiveness.

    Sin is a lot more than an action, it's as simple as thinking. And with it the need to have as simple a process as forgiveness. I stop trying and excepted forgiveness, and the awareness that comes with it. Awareness of sin allows one to move in the right direction.
