Sinful flesh is not sin nor does it has sin

Sinful flesh is not sin nor does it has sin. (Note: the picture below demonstrates the false doctrine held in fallen Christianity while the diagram explains the truth)
Sinful flesh is not sin nor does it has sin. It is simply a flesh affected by sin and not one necessarily infected by sin. The flesh is only infected with sin when due to an absence of God in the mind idol values immediately develop and cause sinful thoughts that cause sinful desires to flow in the flesh and sinful actions to be carried out by the person's members. Sinful flesh as referred to in Romans 8:3 is different to St Augustine's idea of man having a sin nature, which is the philosophy of a sin-infected flesh being inherited from Adam. The sin nature doctrine is a concept of sin being part of human nature so that it could only be taken away when a person gets a new body. However the truth is the bible does not teach man has a sin nature. It speaks of sinful flesh which Jesus Himself had. And because he never was separated from the indwelling of God Jesus never sinned and always abided in sinfreeness. Remember sin always start in the mind (Matt.7:21) before it could flow in evil passions and emotions in the flesh (Rom.7:5,6). Thus for man to be Sinfree God must deal with his mind through the truths of Gospel which reveal the Righteousness of God or the Love of God, that when we believe; God then implants in our heart as our experience by His indwelling.
Sinful flesh is a flesh affected by sin, primarily due to infirmities in the flesh e.g. tiredness, hunger, sleepiness, weaken intellectual abilities, a flesh that can die, all these are due to sin but is not sin.

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...

1. “The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones.” — TM p. 91. 2. “God gave to His servants a testimony that presented the truth as it is in Jesus, which is the third angel’s message, in clear distinct lines” — TM p. 93. 3. “The message of the gospel of His grace was to be given to the church in clear and distinct lines, that the world should no longer say that Seventh-Day Adventists talk the law, the law, but do not teach or believe Christ.

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS  EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina Statement of the case 1. Imputed and imparted righteousness are usually seen as different things in apostate  theology; they are presented as happening either successively or at the very same time,  but they are presented as two different salvific functions.  “In this most illuminating paragraph, the writer traces two distinct phases in the process  of our salvation—two complementary aspects of the plan of redemption—which are in a  certain sense successive, but at the same time simultaneous; two different operations of  the same righteousness of Christ, which alone can satisfy the demands of divine justice  and make saints of us. Let us analyze in outline form these two phases:  A. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY WHICH WE ARE JUSTIFIED.  1. It is imputed to us, which is, credited, granted freely without our earning it.  2. It provides our r...
