How am I condemned?

Unsaved men...who do not believe...are in the realm of DEATH.... They are physically alive, but spiritually dead.....
The only thing that can change that is God saving them from sins, and quickening them, bring their dead spirits to life...

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

 

I feel like we’re going in circles. If you would share your opinion, we could agree or disagree and then discuss it. I can’t help but feel that you’re looking for a specific answer only to give a ready-made rebuttal.

 

I get the sense that there is an attempt at trying to separate what only God’s Word has the authority and ability to separate.

The human is not capable of separating the physical (soul) and spirit.

Therefore sin impacts BOTH the physical and spiritual.

Sin does not effect one and not the other.

 

I'm not sure how your thought flows with the context of John chapter 3. He says that those who "Do not believe" are condemned already. Simply put, Christ's advent is not what condemned them (John 3:17), it was their unbelief that "already condemned" them. Those who were in unbelief (rebellion against Yahweh) were already condemned. Hope this helps

 

Because you're a sinner already., and if you do not believe, you have no Saviour.

Thank you for letting me know. It would be the same if you were a woman.

 

I'm really not sure what you are driving at. Why can you not simply believe the Scripture when it tells you that he who does not believe is condemned already?

Romans 7:22-23; 1 Corinthians 6:15.

Scripture please.

 

You need to understand that sarx, usually translated 'flesh,' very often in the N.T. does not refer to physical flesh but to fallen human nature. 'So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God' (Romans 8:8). If that means those who have a body, then we're all in trouble!
Soma is a more reliable Greek word for the human body.

But I still don't understand what you're on about. Are you trying to show us how clever you are? If so, it's not working.

 

Are you a member of the LDS organization? This is exactly what they teach.

“Before you were born, your spirit lived with God. This premortal life is sometimes referred to as the preexistence. In this setting, you had the opportunity to grow, mature, and learn many eternal truths from our Heavenly Father. Yet you yearned to be more like Him. Like any loving parent, God wants His children to progress. Heavenly Father understood that you could only progress to a certain point without the experience of mortality. He knew that you needed to: Receive a physical body. Gain experience from overcoming trials and temptations. Learn to walk by faith. Learn to choose between good and evil. So your Heavenly Father instituted His plan to help you reach your divine potential” (Basic Beliefs of the LDS). [copied from a secondary source]

“The Father has promised us that through our faithfulness we shall be blessed with the fulness of his kingdom. In other words, we will have the privilege of becoming like him. To become like him we must have all the powers of godhood; thus, a man and his wife when glorified will have spirit children who eventually will go on an earth like this one we are on and pass through the same kind of experiences, being subject to mortal conditions, and if faithful, then they also will receive the fulness of exaltation and partake of the same blessings. There is no end to this development; it will go on forever. We will become gods and have jurisdiction over worlds, and these worlds will be peopled by our own offspring. We will have an endless eternity for this” (Joseph F. Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 2, p. 48). [copied from a secondary source]
