JT   >  You may sin but you should not possess sin, nor should sin possess you.  We must learn to hate evil and to separate ourselves. So whenever we do slip we go to our advocate and repent; this is how we overcome.  Put on righteousness and sin not....   BT: I'm not sure exactly what you mean about sinning but not possessing sin; other than that I agree with you. Moreover, we have an Advocate even before we slip and repent.   JT   >  A defeatist mentality is sin in itself because it's not from God.   BT: Who's got this? From where does that language come? I know the Victor and from where my victory comes. Gal 2.20 -- "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me, and that life I now live in the flesh I live by faith which is of the son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me."   ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 9:18 PM Subject: [TruthTalk] Education - Is it evil? ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Salvation is present progressive   john: boy, I"M confused.   Salvation by faith apart from works people believe this.  So I as a Christ can and do possess sin and that is the way it should be (or is) as long as I am headed in the right direction.  Amen sister.   jt: Wrong.  You may sin but you should not possess sin, nor should sin possess you.  We must learn to hate evil and to separate ourselves.
