semantics
Are you living to your flesh? That is not semantics, it is what chaper 8 is about, mortifying the deads of the flesh, crucifying the flesh, and it is done by righteousness. Now that is semantics, the spirit is 100% righteous. Don't you live perfect things? Babylonian doctrine says nothing is perfect.
What's that mean?
"Sinner" is just a word. Its meaning is simply "one who commits a sin".
If I said that "I am someone who has committed a sin and will probably commit sins in the future, but I am justified by the blood of Christ" would you have a problem with it?
It would be the same thing as "I am a sinner justified by the blood of Christ." Which you apparently would have a problem with because you have an unreasonable aversion to the term "sinner"
You seem to think that the word sinner magically makes you unjustified. It is just a word. Your flesh is sinful. You are a sinner. You are also justified by faith.
I am not "fighting to stay in sin." I am walking in the spirit just like Paul. I walk according to the Spirit and I am free from the power of sin and death. I am also a sinner. I occasionally sin. Jesus Christ's grace covers me and washes away my sin. Simple. Sinner is just a word. I am under grace. Grace is not just a word. My flesh is wicked. I am a sinner. I am saved. The grace of Jesus, and His righteousness justify me. Not my works. If I have good works, they do not justify me, Christ does. If my flesh sins, it does not unjustify me. Christ covers sin.
Sinner is just a word. Stop overthinking it.
It is never just to sin. If you don't repent and you get the reward of that sin, death. To be carnal minded is death, even if you're a born again Christian. You just can't justify sin. Yes, we sin, we fall, but we repent, we just don't accept it as who we are, we are to overcome all sin, anything less is compromise.
Sin for me has always been missing the mark of perfection, being less than perfect. It's an archers term for not hitting the bullseye....gotta run
I didn't say it is just to sin. You are misrepresenting what I said. I said Christ justifies me. It is not dependent on my works. You are arguing in bad faith again.
