[TruthTalk] Re:THE INCARNATION; VALUABLE RESOURCE

[Lance Muir]

Check out the site for Perichoresis (one in Mississippi, one in Australia). This "conversation" is at the very center (pun intended) of what they're about. You may or, may not agree but, you won't have to re-invent the wheel.I've heard ALL their lectures and, I've read all the literature. I've hosted 5 years of conferences with the folks from Mississippi (C. Baxter Kruger & friends) Though I don't worship at the "Krugerian" altar, I'd highly recommend checking this out. RSVP if you do.

The scriptures which I cited earlier make it clear, imho, that there is a sinful nature inherited from Adam and Eve residing in our mortal flesh. Are you disagreeing with that?   jt: Only in the incarnation because the Lord Jesus Christ had a body "prepared" for Him in the womb of Mary and he was "holy" which is to say sinless from the start. We are not because we have an inheritance in the first Adam.   Sin is a spiritual problem; our mortal flesh (body) can show the evidence and ravages of sin but an inanimate body is basically not the  problem. If it were then the mock crucifixions and flagellations some get involved in would do some good but they don't (see Col 2:23).   In Col 3:2 when Paul says "ye are dead" he is obviously not speaking about the physical body.. and what does he mean in vs.5 when he says "mortify your members?"  vs.8 Put off the old man with his deeds... vs.12 Put on (as the elect of God), holy and beloved...   Jesus was born holy and beloved, we have to put off some stuff and then put on some things... judyt   God allows the devil to raise up heretics to make his people study
