Today,
points are shared on the complete elimination of sin and its
operations among created beings and living creatures. The total
removal of sin requires multiple operations of divinity. Sin is no
material or physical substance that would allow it to be destroyed
like waste matter; even so, sin has direction, effect and presence,
and may dominate consciousness and self-will in the living. A
fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion and
Spirituality, who uses the ID “Purity” (Level 2 with 555
points, a member since September 11, 2018) posted the following:
At
what point do Christians stop sinning?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried
with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk
in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the
likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his
resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him,
that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should
not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be
dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death
hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto
sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise
reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto
God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6: 3-11, King James
Version, KJV)

“Purity”,
mankind upon the earth now is challenged to coexist with sin. The
existence of sin is received among Christian believers as an enigma
and a mystery, for sin is contrary to the character, makeup and
nature of our Creator; opposes the continued existence of divine law,
the Lawgiver, and all divine order; is empty and void of spirit
substance from the fullness of divinity (we say, the Godhead; the
Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit); and has not been put forth from
GOD who is the source of all that has existence. Sin promotes
destruction, nonexistence, and return to the chaos, confusion, flux,
and random patterns that were in place before the founding of heaven
and earth.
Baptism
depicts a divine process for recovery from sin where a person’s
inborn spirit dies, is buried, and raised from the dead through the
implanting of divine DNA, and sacred seed. Sinners are provided a
fresh endowment of life essence from the inseparable makeup
and substance of GOD (we say, breath; spirit; word). Included are
faith, holiness, oneness without sameness, personhood,
purity, wisdom, and wrath against sin. Even so, the sinner who
becomes a developing believer is only “born again” and must also
“grow up again.” In the same way a small child may pass through
stages of bed wetting and thumb-sucking before becoming fully adult,
a Christian will be challenged by multiple desires, errors, and
failures of self-will before they mature to serve as the new
creation through Jesus Christ.
Men
may become free from sin, and built up to recognize, choose to
reject, and deliberately resist sin; yet, through finite self-will,
sin can not be totally destroyed and removed from the earth. The
final elimination of all sin requires the sacred operations from
divinity that we speak of as judgment, permanent change of human
makeup, and the second death. Consider again the following
that uses language from the Bible:
1.
Colossians 3: 12-17, King James Version (KJV): 12 Put on
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing
one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel
against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond
of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to
the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and
admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye
do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
2.
Galatians 2: 20, KJV: 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless
I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved
me, and gave himself for me.
3.
Romans 6: 22-23, KJV: 22 But now being made free from sin, and
become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end
everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4. Romans 8: 5-10, KJV: 5 For
they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but
they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be
carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is
life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against
God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye
are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of
God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he
is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because
of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.) Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
