Christian Clarity Review

We do NOT sin after new birth in Jesus Christ. Sin as a living creature, part of which is non-creating speech performs evil through our flesh.

Sin is not a mere act even though acts of sin are also sin. God is holy and His acts are holy. Sin is a living creature, created by God that fights against us in our flesh and is the corruption of that flesh. Being new creature in Jesus Christ we are fought against by what is in our own flesh:

Galatians 5:16-18 But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh’s lust. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire; but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.

After we are born again, it is the sin that does the sin, the evil in our flesh where sin is a trespasser and thief:

Romans 7:14-21 For we know that the law is spiritual: but *I* am fleshly, sold under sin. For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise. But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that it is right. Now then it is no longer *I* that do it, but the sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right I find not. For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do. But if what *I* do not will, this I practise, it is no longer *I* that do it, but the sin that dwells in me. I find then the law upon *me* who will to practise what is right, that with *me* evil is there.

God plainly says that we (who are new creature in Jesus Christ) do NOT sin. Indeed, God Says we CANNOT sin and that the one who sins has never seen or known God :

1 John 3:6-9 Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him. Children, let no man lead you astray; he that practises righteousness is righteous, even as *he* is righteous. He that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil. Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.

God also says that to say –as act of speech –that we have no sin is to be prove the truth is not in us:

1John 1:8,9 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

To say we have no sin is to deny that reality is simple reality –that sin exists in our flesh as a living creature and to claim that our FLESH is already perfected when it is not.

God says BOTH that we cannot sin and that if we say we have no sin we are deceived. When one is deceived that sin is a mere act/physical action-with-abstract-consequences-in-God’s-heart and that one has ‘free’ will to ‘act or not-act’ in a sin-ful manner, then God seems a liar and ambiguous to say both that we CANNOT sin and that we have sin.

When God opens the understanding that sin is a living creature that is no longer ANY part of us, as ALL things are new as the new creature we are:

2 Corithians 5:16-18 So that *we* henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer. So if any one be in Christ, there is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new: and all things are of the God who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:

..then we understand we are being fought against by a real enemy that is NOT some ‘mysterious part of ourselves’. There is no ’sin nature’ in the new creature in Jesus Christ. Those who claim such a thing as a ’sin nature’ are deceived that sin is a mere act and that an arbitray ‘x’ comes and goes such that some of ‘our’ (what they suppose as ‘free’ willed) ‘actions’ are sin while others are not –which leads to such questions as: “is action ‘b’ a sin and why?”

Combined with ‘moral good’ functionally defined to be that-which-is-a-positive-emotion and ‘evil’ functionally defined to be ‘that-which-is-a-negative-emotion” –you can see how those so deceived would come to a supposed ‘conclusion’ that homosexuality is not ‘a sin’ –if those doing it are feeling ‘good’/positive emotion about it. All that is the maze into which the fallen are fallen –deceived that sin is a mere ‘act’ and that the will is ‘free’. Thus they, in ignronace turn evil into good and good into evil and say they have not ’sinned’ at such and such a point, here and there or even at all if they feel good about whatever they have done. Thus God says of them:

Jeremiah 23:16-17 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they lead you to vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, not out of the mouth of Jehovah. They say constantly unto them that despise me, Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace. And they say unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his heart, No evil shall come upon you.

Then they deny any new birth in Jesus Christ , that nay such thing exists as God-as-Word separate and distinct from the non-creating speech of sin and try to spread the benefits exclusively reserved for the elect as being new creature in the grace of God over the whole of fallen man such that they deny any go to the lake of fire –even if they ’sin’ because after having defined sin to be an ‘act’ that simply produces temporary ‘emotion’ in God’s heart, they say God is Emotional Positive and could not possibly throw any into the lake of fire just for a mere set of ‘acts’. Thus ‘universal’ ’salvation’ sounds to them to be a mere emotional imperative they wrongfully equate as BEING God.

God throws the reprobate into the lake of fire for being not-new creature in Jesus Christ and remaining one with a creature and speech that constantly denies God as God really Is to God’s face, which they cannot understand. They are not excused because they do not understand.

Calvin even functionally defined sin to be an act and it skewed his words to confusion on a certain level even though he was a brother in Christ. Very many true Christians today are deceived they have a ’sin nature’ and ‘can’t help but sin’ as if there was no attack going on but just an inward battle of conflicting ‘thoughts, emotions’ that result in ‘bad acts’ they ‘chose’ to do –on purpose and in ‘freedom’. Thus they constantly fall prey to the politics of Guilt and the emotional manipulations of the free will lie while thier enemies make of them a prey day after day.

God says He will not justify the wicked:

Exodus 34:5-7 And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and stood beside him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah. And Jehovah passed by before his face, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah *God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy unto thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but by no means clearing the guilty ; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation .

Exodus 23:7 Thou shalt keep far from the cause of falsehood; and the innocent and righteous slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.

Those who say sin is a mere act very plainly say that the elect are wicked as part of their fundamental being and not FALLEN, that there is no other creature called sin and that God has justified ’some’ of the wicked,( even though God plainly says He does not,) and made them new creature that still has corruption somehow rather than the truith that He has and is taking away the elect from the sin/wickedness and doing so by having died for them to preserve their flesh and giving them (His Spirit and Heart as their) new spirit and new heart as new creature in Jesus Christ perfectly cleansed by His blood of ANY wickedness.

John 14:20 In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

Understand: God has taken billions of souls simultaneously, some of whom are new creatures in Jesus Christ, some of whom will be new creatures in Jesus Christ, some of whom will never be new creatures in Jesus Christ, gave all of them non-creating speech in their flesh to start with, gave a few Himself as Word such that they were turned into new creatures, have them all speaking simultaneously and most deceived only one speech exists in total reality and that that speech is non-creating AND have the ones with non-creating speech all speaking ‘about God’ and some spoken through as God Himself as Word: have some with alternate literal terms of religion in non-creating speech such as ‘grace'’,’ sin’, ‘Jesus’, ‘Christ’, ‘new birth’, –all of it, and others with Himself as Word actively creating through them babes in Christ out from among the deceived and the decievers and look and see what is happening on a continued basis. It appears to be a non-sensical fist-fight over ‘religion’ or ‘My Mom, Pop and Tradition versus Yours’ but is in every way perfroming His will and saving/newly birthing and bringing to maturity His elect while confounding and destroying the wicked.

Zep 3:7-9 I said, Only fear me, receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, howsoever I may punish her. But they rose early, they corrupted all their doings. Therefore wait ye for me, saith Jehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for my determination is to assemble the nations, that I may gather the kingdoms together, to pour upon them mine indignation, –all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one consent.

Exodus 15:6 Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

Ezekiel 20:44 And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have wrought with you for my name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.

Zechariah 8:9-17 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. For before those days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; and there was no peace for him that went out or that came in, because of the distress: for I let loose all men, every one against his neighbour. But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith Jehovah of hosts; for the seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things . And it shall come to pass, like as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear ye not, let your hands be strong. For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Like as I thought to do you evil when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I repented not; so again have I thought in these days to do good unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. These are the things that ye shall do: Speak truth every one with his neighbour; execute truth and the judgment of peace in your gates; and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith Jehovah.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
