Oh.....right!

I was just pointing out the Human Nature is not the Sinful Nature, otherwise, Jesus, who had a Human Nature, would have been corrupt. That said, I get the feeling that you don't believe in a Sinful Nature.

Sorry . . . I did associate Jesus to corruption, but I don't believe that He is. No. :)
There's a bit of confusion here.

Sinful nature is happening because the spiritual nature is controlled by death.

The human nature in the unsaved, now sins because the spiritual nature of human nature in the unsaved is no longer controlled by life. It's controlled by death, the human natures can still battle and overcome sin. But it is a struggle for the unsaved.



Jesus however was able to prevent that happening by overcoming his human nature.

All Tho Jesus said his soul was at the point of death he knew how to overcome it . He knew what that was.

Man before the fall never did that never overcame it.

Mo married Aisha when she was six... and consummated his marriage when she was nine years old.
Yeah, the idiot even taught how to take a fist full of sand, wrap it in camel's hide, and smack your wife with it where it does not leave an outside bruise but deep inside bruise. And when the wife upsets you, you push fingers where the bruise is and it hurts really bad she will obey.

I am sure hell ain't even good enough for what he deserves. Arrange marriages make me mad. And poor families who give their daughters away to old men for money should be executed on the spot.

Mo was a piece of work. We have members here who it would be easy to think they believe the
religion he founded is one of peace, so assiduous are they in their support of those who follow it.

Hello friends! As we see in the Promises and Blessings of Abraham below, are each of you enjoying the New Hearts that the Lord gave you? For, prior to receiving these news hearts, we, just like the Blessed Jews, were unable to understand the Holy Principles of God.

But now, God has changed our Psychology, and all genuine Christians have the same Purpose: to Worship the Lord forever. Now, with a new heart and a new way of thinking (which we didn't have before), we have been given the desire to act upon that new thinking.

Jeremiah 24:7 . . . N.L.T. – “I will give them hearts that recognize me as the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me wholeheartedly.”
Jeremiah 32:39-40 . . . N.L.T. – “And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me.”

I just picked it at random... then after you said twisted things from at least three others, I had to go and look again. LOL.

A New Heart makes old problems no longer seem like such the issue they represent compared to when I faced them with my old heart.

You forgot to close the letter with, "Sincerely..."

There's no need to thank me, I offer it freely. ;)
I guess you elected to do so?
