Because the same spirit that was on Jesus is the same spirit that is in you, yet how then
do you continue sinning or did Jesus Christ sin?

Now a gripping question that I continuously come across from the perception of the

‘Christian kingdom’ is this; can then a NEW creature live in the desires of the OLD?
Now the actions of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, promiscuity,

idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, rivalry, jealously, outbursts of anger, quarrels, conflicts,
factions, envy, murder, drunkenness, wild partying, and things like that (Galatians
3:19). Can somebody who is now born of God live his life as people of the world do?

Can he continue to live as he used to live before he was born of God? Can I live out of
the boundaries of Love (remember that God is Love) unintentional and fulfil the

desires of the flesh? Summon up that; for what the flesh wants is opposed to the Spirit,
and what the Spirit wants is opposed to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, and
so you do not do what you want to do (Galatians 5:17), so if I do what I don’t want to

do, then who is in me that I do what he wants? Isn’t it that I’m a slave to someone?

Now St Paul and St Peter supports on alike, “Don’t you know that when you offer

yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—either
of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thank

God that, though you were once slaves of sin, you became obedient from your hearts
to that form of teaching with which you were entrusted! And since you have been freed

from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness”. For if now a person is a slave to
whatsoever that conquers him, then that person is yet not free from his own choice of
will, he is still in bondage! If I am doing what I do not want, am I not a slave? Those

that are still under the Law are slaves of the Law, not because being a slave of the law
is wrong, is the law wrong after all? God forbid! Being unfaithful to the law is

erroneous because once you break one; you have broken all the commandments. For
we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am merely human, sold as a slave to sin. I don’t
