OZOS must belong to that cult which teaches that saved people never sin. that is why he refuses to answer my question:
I answered your question SEVERAL times, you lying demon. I posted the links where I answered your question. You are unbelievable, and I'm surprised this site allows you to blatantly lie over and over again without any accountability. Perhaps you pay a great deal of money to afford you that right.
In any case, all anyone has to do is scroll through this thread and see that you're a liar, and that I answered the question over and over again.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God" (Ro.6:12-13).
So believers are slaves of righteousness as long as they don't yield their members as instruments of unrighteousness.
LOL, you just claimed that believers (you're not) gravitate back and forth from being slaves of righteousness to being slaves of sin. Which logically would also included them moving from life to death to life to death ad infinitum in the hopes that when they die, they are on the side of life.
You are an unmitigated fool.
In Romans 6:12-23 The relationship with sin has ceased. The new creation in Christ is no longer under its control or power. They are no longer its slave. They no longer obey sin. The power of sin is the Law, and they are no longer under the Law. Paul says sin reigns in death. The child of God is now alive in Christ. If they do not consider themselves dead to sin, and alive to God, then they will put themselves back under the Law declaring themselves a sinner who is obeying sin. They would be going back and presenting the members of their body to a system that proves them a sinner. Instead, Paul admonishes them to present yourself to God as what you are... an instrument of righteousness? They are free from sin. They are alive not dead.
Jesus is emphatic... "
"Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin."
Those who have believed the gospel (you never have) are NO LONGER slaves of sin, but slaves of righteousness, having been crucified with Christ, buried with Christ, and raised from the dead with Christ. They are free from sin, free from the Law, free from wrath, and free from Death.
"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you (the gospel). Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness." Rom 6:16-18
You don't know Jesus from Adam, and you don't know the gospel from Dr. Seuss.
You're a moron, a liar, and a pervert.
