The psalmist says, 18:32, I have kept myself from my iniquity. It was there, in his flesh, in his members, but, within himself, he kept at a distance from it.If we walk in the Spirit, we shall live. If we walk after the flesh, we shall die. | |
| Jun 14, 2018 at 9:05 | comment | added | Anne | @Nigel as you point out, all sin was contained in Christ so when he took it down into death within him, it was gone forever, thus sin in a Christian is an anomaly. Quoting Donald Macleod in 'A Faith To Live By' p79: "The English word ‘anomalous’ comes from this same Greek word, anomia, without law. If something is an anomaly, that means it goes against all law and all reason, and that is a marvellous way of describing sin. Sin is the ultimate anomaly: sin cannot be understood: an anomaly by definition is what is beyond reason." To be effectively justified must have the affect of shunning sin | |

| Jun 13, 2018 at 9:30 | comment | added | Ruminator | Jesus being ποιεο sin has nothing to do with his being "effected" (and I'm not sure you understand the difference between "affected" and "effected". Your continued reckless invention of word "definitions" based on etymology and intuition creates absurd commentary and darkens counsel. Please quit making up Greek. People get misled and confused by it. Thanks. -1 | |
