Jun 28, 2021 at 21:39 comment added Dave 2 COR 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. So ... @user48152 .. I’m curious, what do you say was made new?
Jun 28, 2021 at 21:16 comment added Steve You are making stuff up! We don’t have a dual nature, just two opposing influences- one good one bad. There is nothing perfect about any person except Christ. Paul refers to the HS, not what is in us by default.
Jun 28, 2021 at 20:40 comment added Xeno @user48152 Ask yourself what Paul is saying in 2 Cor. 4:16: "Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man [our physical body] is decaying, yet our inner man [our spirit] is being renewed day by day." We exist with a dual nature: 1) physical, and 2) spiritual. God instilled a perfect spirit in all of us. It was then subjected to sin and death by our deeds. God would never create an imperfect spirit within us - all that God creates is perfect. The Holy Spirit has nothing to do with this. We all possess our own spirit. Physically we are indeed the product of our parents.
Jun 28, 2021 at 12:23 comment added Steve @Xeno what do ya mean, "our spirit is from God, and that it must, therefore, be perfect upon birth" We don't receive the HOLY SPIRIT @ birth, just the spirit in man that makes us not animals. The natural spirit is readily swayed from good, but can be a bed for good to grow also. Depends on what God is doing in that person.
Jun 26, 2021 at 3:59 comment added Steve @xeno the human nature is broken. The spirit of the power of this world is ever present in all human life. All are of the devil in that sense. All are born into this paradigm. Only God can set them free and He will enable freedom for all, from which to choose life.
