Something to think about

In the New Testament is a believer ever called a sinner? If I called myself a sinner, would I sin? If I called myself an alcholic, would I drink. You see, if we keep saying something, we will be what we say.

May God bless, golfjack

we are sinners regardless to say we are sinless is a lie.
On the other hand we are not all alcholic's I for one cant stand the taste.

"I'm a believer," "I'm a believer," "I'm a believer," "I'm a believer," "I'm a believer," "I'm a believer," "I'm a believer," "I'm a believer."

Oh well, guess it's Hell for me.

I don't know about you, but I am a genious in the sight of God. Of course, in the natural, I am not a genious. Just like I am not a sinner in the eyes of God. The Bible says that sin has no dominion over me, and we are dead to sin. Of course, we can do acts of sin (flesh).

rom10:9-10 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved. for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation....

it doesn't matter what we say.... if we don't believe it....we are just lying to ourselves.

This is true, we must believe first, and then confess. And confession is not just confessing sin, but one can make a positive confession. The same principle applies in Mark 11:23-24. Notice it mentions believe once and sayeth three times.

If you say to a hungry person, I will feed you, the person is still hungry. If you give a hungry person food, he will not be hungry anymore. Wink

Talk is cheap, actually doing is what we should do.

kind of goes both ways...

I can do something good for you and then turn and slander you or gossip about you behind your back.

so maybe saying and doing go hand in hand.

maybe it's not what you do or say but what's in your heart that counts...

just thinkin...

If we are called saints and dead to sin, why would I call myself a sinner ?God doesn't. Why should I?

please dont take this literally but for example if a saint goes out and say robs a bank well then is he a sinner ?If a saint commits adultery is he a sinner?Ofcourse i believe paul sd o what wretched man i am.he kept doing the things he did not want to.While we are in these temporary soul's we are in the procces of being saved.Salvation comes after the first ressurection, and for most in the second ressurection after judgement.See we as christian's today are being judged today!
SO BE IT
