Real Science Keeps Tipping Over Darwin’s Apple Cart

Of False Science

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called." 1 Tim.6:20

The scientists who did the study, addessed in the article below, were astonished when their DNA calculations of the approximate ages of each type of living thing, on earth, blew up in their faces. Their study showed all life on earth began about the same time, which was only about 100,000 to 200,000 years ago. That only differs from their previous guesses by a few billions of years. If that blows their minds and throws their entire theory into a tailspin, they will faint dead away when they learn that our Creator did it in seven days as recently as 6000 years ago ... give or take a few years.
When reality forces you to narrow your best guess, of where we came from, to the single fact of creation, by billions, and broaden your best guess of a creator God by more billions, you will then know how far off you are from God. RB

Here is the article from American Liberty Report:

The modern scientific field is not faring well against God. A recent study in the journal Human Evolution made a discovery that has startled the scientists conducting it – namely, that all current species on earth showed up at approximately the same time, roughly 100,000 to 200,000 years ago.
Since the chaos religion of evolution requires massive amounts of time – billions of years – to maintain its non-disprovable doctrines, this is a problem for the glorified butterfly collectors writing all the biology textbooks.
Researchers at the University of Basel and The Rockefeller University studied the mitochondrial DNA of approximately 100,000 animal species, as well as humans. They expected to find wide genetic variation across big species that are spread out across the planet, but the result was the opposite. Most animals and people share the same mitochondrial DNA, so it makes this specific marker good for making comparisons among large groups.
So-called “neutral mutations” – those that do not impact a species’ ability to survive – give scientists the ability to determine an approximate age for a species, sort of like counting the rings in a tree. Here’s the bottom line of their findings: Every species that they catalogued had its mitochondrial “clock” set to zero at roughly the same time, around 100,000-200,000 years ago.
The hermit crab, which every high school biology textbook claims is 450 million years old as a species, will be terribly embarrassed by this. So are the scientists.
If every species emerged at the same time, then the biblical account of creation still holds more credence than Darwin’s On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.
Modern DNA research is finally allowing 21st century scientists to catch up with their 19th century forefathers who found Darwin’s theory of evolution to be a ridiculous, unscientific alternative to God. The scientific community originally rejected Darwinism; the theory only gained in popularity, initially, because liberal unbelieving pastors finally had an excuse that would let them reject the creation narrative in Genesis, which they found mortifying.
The butterfly collectors shouldn’t feel too badly about this latest breakthrough, however. The vast majority of modern science is in crisis right now, due to scandalous amounts of fraud. As the BBC reported last year, more than two-thirds of scientists are unable to reproduce the published, peer-reviewed science experiments of their colleagues.
In other words, scientists are making up claims and their research is being published in the latest journals despite no one checking up on the actual research.
The so-called Stanford Prison Experiment, perhaps the most famous social science experiment in history, was recently exposed as a total fraud. In 1971, a Stanford psychologist divided a group of students up into “guards” and “inmates.” Within a short amount of time, the guards were terrorizing the inmates; one student allegedly had a psychotic break.
The results of the experiment were so shocking that it was never reproduced. 47 years later, the student who suffered the “breakdown” admits that he was acting and says all his fellow students were as well. The entire experiment, which is featured in every social science textbook in the world, was fake.
DNA research presents a real problem for the modern secular scientist because it boils down to immovable math. Strands of DNA can be broken down to strings of numbers, similar to computer code. The DNA of a species will remain the same regardless of the feelings or political agenda of the researcher.
Temperature data is easy to fudge to “prove” that the earth is getting hotter. DNA for an entire species is another matter and that has many modern pseudo-scientists worried.
For example, the scientific community and the homosexual lobby have been telling us for decades that homosexuality is genetic, despite no proof of this claim. With the vast amounts of DNA research being conducted, however, the homosexual apologists are suddenly demanding that the search for a so-called “gay gene” be stopped.
As Pacific Standard magazine wrote in March 2018, “Why bother?” They’ve become extremely nervous about something that they claimed was a scientific certainty just a couple of years ago.
What this study really proves is that science just put up a huge case for creationism. Score another one for Christianity.

Oddly, The Greater Their Evil, The More They Boast of It

I am fascinated that Obama's sinographer seems to think that  everyone else is equally depraved and will enjoy the read ... wishing only that they too had been privileged to be there.



Yes, it is sickening … but I have no compunction about republishing it, though this young Liberal and her fellow Democrat Obamaites probably appreciate the coverage.  It is Pitiful how Liberals become so cemented in their common evil that they seem to think everyone else is equally depraved and think nothing of it … except to envy the writer's greater depth of iniquitous pleasure.    
"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled". Titus 1:15.

It is true that  "We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God".  But to boast about it as the ultimate desire, with seeming pride of accomplishment in it, for all to see, is brazen indeed. It is as if God has blinded them into saying and writing secret wicked deeds in "high places" which they think will give them their desired recognition or creditability.
As our sins become more and more wide ranging and profuse, they also seem more ordinary and acceptable to us and our fellow collaborators. In time our common sense fades away and an inner confusion as of darkness sets in.

"Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle." Psm. 109:29.

"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work." James 3:16.

Obama's Fly On His Oval Wall Tells All In New Book

By His Stenographer, Becky Dorey-Stein 
Titled "From The Corner Of The Oval"

Why am I not at all surprised? RB

Former Stenographer Talks About Drug-Fueled Romances, Unprofessional Nature of Obama Administration

By Austin Lewis  
The Conservative Daily Post News

The Barack Obama administration repeated demonstrated that the president was above the masses, and acted as if he were a king. Whether it was the Federal Bureau of Investigation launching morally and ethically questionable spying of presidential campaigns, taking countless vacations, or the United States Secret Service scandals in foreign nations, it seemed to be a recurring theme that he treated himself like a monarch, lavishly spending, playing and ordering, all while sticking taxpayers with the bill. 

Now, an account from one of President Obama’s stenographers shows just how unprofessional the environment was, in a new tell-all memoir, From the Corner of the Oval. It mentions ‘steamy’ nights, strange dalliances fueled by multiple ‘drugs of choice’, and a ‘party plane’ paid for by the media for international flights. Most of all, it leaves voters to wonder just what kind of leadership the former president exhibited when this kind of atrocious behavior to continue for the eight years he was in power. 

Becky Dorey-Stein was a 25-year-old working multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet when she answered an advertisement on Craigslist. 

After two different interviews and a background check, the administration offered her the job of being the White House stenographer. 

She accepted, and began in that role in 2012. 

For five years, she was attached to Obama’s hip, recording everything that he said publicly with a microphone and then typing it up for the White House Press Office and the presidential archive. During that time, she also kept a detailed journal of notes on her personal experiences. None of it speaks well of the administration and the way it was run. 

According to Dorey-Stein’s memoir, during international trips, media members would chip into charter a jet, which they would call the ‘party plane.’ Though the President, Vice President, and many other important officials wouldn’t fly on that craft, it still paints an image of the government that is less than flattering. 

She also talked about her affair with Secret Service officer James Wolf, who was in a committed relationship back in the United States with a woman whose father was a well-known producer. 

Apparently, she would leave her hotel room door unlocked at night, and slightly ajar, so that agent Wolf could sneak in. Her book discusses how she felt bad, and tried to keep thoughts of her boyfriend back home, identified only as Sam, out of her mind while carrying on the affair. 

She described drug-fueled long flights as the ‘best sleepover ever,’ where everyone took Sonata, Xanax, or Ambien, or their various drugs of choice. 

Her account claims that it made any ‘awkward intimacy’ with colleagues “suddenly just funny and bizarre.” 

She talked about how no matter where the team traveled with the president, whether it was the wealthiest suburb in the United States or the poorest African nation rife with poverty, starvation, and suffering, they always saw a ‘Disneyland’ version, a staged appearance, as their motorcades drove through. 

She also said that she was never worried about her safety, because she and the rest of the crew were constantly protected by the USSS agents. 

However, she lamented that the food and water was rarely safe, and recalled that she became violently ill in South Africa after consuming lettuce that had simply been washed in the nation’s water. 

She made excuses for some of President Obama’s habits, including his constant golf outings. She said that was the only time that POTUS was allowed any sort of breathing room, and that it was how he dealt with grief and stress. 

Perhaps most ridiculously of all, she complained in her memoir that she managed to keep her job at the White House even after Obama’s legacy was rejected by the voters and Hillary Rodham Clinton was soundly defeated by President Donald Trump. 

Indeed, she denigrated his administration, calling it the ‘insane clown posse,’ and whining that the Priuses and Chevys of the Obama years were replaced by Porsches and Maseratis. How dare President Trump surround himself with the successful. 

She claimed that her job, which was once a ‘joy’ when every outing was treated like a hormone and drug-fueled summer camp experience, became a nightmare with the change in administration. Perhaps, it’s actually having to work that caused the unpleasant situation? 

In the end, the job ‘cost’ her the boyfriend she repeatedly cheated on, and eventually she lost agent Wolf to his girlfriend, who he married. If she never knew that her boyfriend was cheating on her while traveling the world, this book may come as a real shock. 

This account offers another look into the unprofessional, tyrannical way the government operated in the Obama era, and should serve as a warning to voters that just because a president seems outwardly hip and trendy doesn’t mean he’s capable of decent leadership.

North Korea Agrees To Open Its Doors To Christianity?

If That Happens, It Is Truly A Miracle Of God

This from Your News Wire.com
How times can change. A few months ago, North Korea’s dictator, Kim Jong-un, was firing missiles over Japan and threatening to send nuclear bombs in our direction. Now North Korea has agreed to open its doors to food, medicine and the message of Christ.
But last week, the young North Korea leader dropped a different kind of surprise on the world: He met with South Korean president Moon Jae-in on April 27 and announced that the 67-year-old Korean conflict is over. “I came here to put an end to the history of confrontation,” Kim Jung-un told Moon in a meeting on the border town of Panmunjom.


There will be no more war on the Korean peninsula, and a new age of peace has begun,” the two leaders said in a joint statement.

Charisma Magazine reports: Kim Jong-un, who has built the fourth largest army in the world—with 1.19 million soldiers—says he will now focus on rebuilding his country’s shattered economy.
Boom. Just like that, swords were converted into plowshares. The two leaders, all smiles for the cameras, agreed they will denuclearize the Korean peninsula within a year. They also agreed to set up reunions with families that have been divided since the Korean War started in 1950.
It feels like we should declare a global holiday and dance in the streets. But most Americans were too distracted by the opening of the new Avengers movie to pay attention to the headlines.
What was behind the Korean surprise? Most media outlets didn’t notice that Christians in South Korea had been fasting and praying for the peace summit. Pastors held an all-night vigil in the city of Paju, south of the North Korean border. And a group of Christian politicians held a fasting and prayer event in the National Assembly buildings in Seoul, according to Yonhap News.

North Korea’s persecuted Christians have also been praying for this moment—for years. They have been horribly persecuted. They have been forced to meet secretly. They have been routinely rounded up and sent to labor camps—or just shot on sight—because they did not worship Kim Jong-un as their god.
Defectors say something began to change when Kim Jong-un became dictator in 2011. His cruel regime, along with the misery of famine and economic ruin, caused people to become disillusioned with the phony utopia Kim claimed to rule over.
“In the past, the people were told to worship the Kim family as their god,” one defector told The Telegraph. “That means they are looking for something else to sustain their faith.”
Life in North Korea has been unbearable under Kim Jong-un. About six million citizens are starving and a third of North Korean children suffer from chronic malnutrition. (It is said that North Koreans are, on average, two inches shorter than South Koreans because of starvation.) Most people in North Korea don’t have electricity. They certainly don’t have the internet or access to news from the outside world.
North Korean “democracy” is a farce; people “vote” in “elections” where only one name is on the ballot—and those who cross out Kim’s name are rounded up and jailed. Even certain hairstyles are restricted! Meanwhile, if someone is convicted a crime, he does not go to jail alone—hischildren and grandchildren are also imprisoned. The U.S. State Department has learned that between 10 to 45 percent of all people imprisoned in North Korea are Christians who are in jail because of their faith. Yet in the midst of this oppression God has been working. Some defectors have reported that North Korean officials are worried that Christianity will defeat “Juche,” the state-sponsored worship of Kim and his ancestors. That fear is based on statistics. One report released by the U.S. State Department says the Christian population in North Korea multiplied five times from 2012 to 2017. There may be more than 400,000 Christians there now. When I heard the news last week about the Korean miracle—after I pinched myself to see it was a dream—I turned to Psalm 46. It says: “Come, see the works of the Lord … He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts off the spear; He burns the chariot in the fire” (vv. 8-9).

God has worked this miracle. It is not the work of any politician. He has heard the prayers of his people on both sides of this conflict—and the prayers of the faithful around the world who felt North Korea’s pain. He will engineer a lasting peace in this part of the world, and open the doors wide for the gospel to flourish in a thirsty land.
Before long, the churches of South Korea will freely send teams into the North with food, medicine and the message of Christ. Like a patient who has been in a coma, North Korea will awaken. The world will watch a national transformation. We are witnessing the greatest display of God’s sovereign power over nations since the Berlin Wall fell.

Will SBC Set Their Sail Into The Mist Of A Siren's Song

Or Hold The Ship Steadily On Course ... In God's Will

There was a Greek mythology which claimed there were certain seas where, lurking in the darkening mist, lay islands of steep, massive clefts of stone, rising above rocky shores where lie broken, sea washed ships full of dead sailors bones... drawn there by the lusty voice of lovely sirens singing of love and pleasure. These, imagined, lovely women sirens, beckoning with their songs of desire mesmerized the sailors on passing ships and enticed they to come to their shore for eternal happiness and gratification. So sailors set their sails to carry them aside from their commissioned destination and sailed through the mist into the rocky, treacherous destruction of their fantasy. Leonardo da Vinci wrote of the Siren, "The siren sings so sweetly that she lulls the mariners to sleep; then she climbs upon the ships and kills the sleeping mariners." The Myth is not Holy Scripture ... but alludes to a Scriptural truth... deviation from truth is deviation into error and destruction.

It was only a Greek myth but contained a large application of fleshly, human inclination and truth application .... Which lusts for self-will rather than God's will. Perverting the commitment of Jesus' words, "Not my will but thine be done" to "Not thy will but mine be done". Lucifer brought the perversion with him when he was cast out of heaven, where he also set his sail against God's will for him and yielded to the siren song of delusion that drove him to destruction.  Adam and Eve were then deceived by his evil siren song and ruined the whole human race on the rocky shores of disobedience.
And that same siren song of "My will", "My feelings", "My opinion" ... rather than "Thus saith the Lord" draws us out of God's will and even pseudo "Ministers of God". So, they lead thousands of their followers out of God's word and God's calling, into that darkening mist of a siren's song and into eternal loss and shame.

Here is what is happening ... or trying to happen...

How Much Sin Does It Take To Lose Your Salvation?

If a million sins will send you to hell, a thousand will, a hundred will and one will.

God told Adam and Eve not to do a certain, single thing and if they disobeyed, and did the thing, He said they would "surely die". Both the Hebrew and Greek words for "die" and "death" mean separation. Physical death is separation from the body and spiritual death is separation from God. Both Adam and Eve disobeyed God's command, did the thing He forbade them to do and they died spiritually (lost their relationship with God), the moment they disobeyed, they began at that same moment to die physically. I believe that God's killing of innocent animals, probably sheep, shedding their blood to cover their spiritual and physical nakedness, with animal skins, was a type of the coming Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and cover our spiritual nakedness.

Adam and Eve committed just one sin, the sin of disobedience to God's single command, "Thou shalt not". That one sin, of disobedience, was bad enough to condemn them to separation from God instantly and from the life in their bodies ... in His own time. And we inherited that inclination to sin.

So one sin condemned Adam and Eve to death, separation from God and eventual separation from their bodies... ONE SIN! James the son of Joseph and Mary, Jesus' half brother, made it perfectly plain that to commit one sin, any sin, is to break all the Law of God.

"If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:  (It fulfills all the  Law of God).    But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou are become a transgressor of the law." James 2:8-11

"The Law". "The" is a definite article meaning a single, unique thing, one of a kind. The Law of God is one single, unique thing. 

Who, today, would think "respect of persons" is a sin equal to breaking the entirety of God's Law? That one sin makes a person guilty of breaking THE LAW which God gave in the Pentateuch (First five books).   "Respect of persons"    is condemned six times in the Old Testament and seven in the New Testament. It is the sin of showing fairness to your friends, and those you want to impress, and unfairness to everyone or anyone else.  Jesus said the "Royal Law" is loving God with all your heart, mind and soul, and everyone else with the love, fairness (respect) you expect and give yourself. The verse above reveals the gravity of all sin. One sin, without repentance to God, His forgiveness, and your acceptance of His Son's death on the cross to cover your sins, is enough to send your soul to hell. 

So the next question is, if partiality of judgment (respect of persons), for one against another, is that serious, that bad, to what degree of guilt in our Law breaking classifies us as guilty of breaking the entirety of God's Law and Commandments? Since "not bearing false witness" is the 9th Commandment, how precise must be our witness of what we saw, heard or understand? A lie is telling something we know is not exactly true. A little white lie is still a lie. Exaggerating a thing beyond or less than the pure truth is a lie. Not every falsehood is a lie. If we tell something we think is true but is a falsehood is not a lie but a falsehood. So if we knowingly exaggerate, we are guilty of "bearing false witness" intentionally, knowing it is not exactly true. Exaggeration is by definition intentional. So intentional exaggeration is a sin and breaks the ninth Commandment and therefore all the other Commandments and the totality of God's Law. If smoking pot is a sin, so is one puff. If drinking whisky is a sin, so is one swallow.  If lying is sin, so is one small deviation from the truth. So here we have the unvarnished truth.    "...Let God be true, and every man a liar...." Rom.3:4.    "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him (God) a liar, and his word is not in us." 1 John 1:10.   Jesus said,  "..There is none good but one, that is, God." Mark 10:18.   "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Rom. 3:23.   So we all worthy of hell and unworthy of salvation.

All of that being understood, it becomes clear that we are not saved in the least by any or all of our good works, for one sin takes on the guilt of breaking all of God's Law and condemns us all to hell. That is why Salvation is by grace through faith, not any measure of our goodness or our good works.    
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph.2:8-9.

How much sin does it take to lose your salvation?  If you could lose God's salvation, which you never deserved in the first place, do not deserve now and never will deserve, it would just take one sin.  Even the smallest of sins is grievously unacceptable to God and would condemn our souls to hell ... except for God's grace received through your faith in His remedy for sin, Jesus Christ dying in your place.  

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9.

Impossible To Be Saved, Lost Again, Then Saved Again

Impossible To Be Saved Twice ...

The word "everlasting" is promised 91 times in God's word, the Bible. Among these 91 references to "everlasting", our everlasting God gave everlasting believers an everlasting covenant, of everlasting promises, for an everlasting possession, of everlasting life, for an everlasting period of time. The word "everlasting" means exactly that ... "lasting for ever".  To reemphasize everlasting, He added another word meaning the same thing ... "eternal". This word also means everlasting and is promised 47 times in the Bible. Then God added two more words to underlined it with eternal, indelible ink, and drove it deep into His Holy Word so that no reasonable person with an ounce of intelligence could  misunderstand it... Because He knew the devil would consentrate all his powers of persuasion over the minds of men that eternal God and eternal life won't last forever. So God added these verses to shine light upon the impossibility of losing eternal life gained by His grace through faith alone ...in Jesus Christ ...


For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy GhostAnd have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. Hebrews 6:4-6
Here you have an imaginary person experiencing the impossible conundrum of having gained undeserved, eternal life on a temporary basis, lasting only as long as he deserves it.
So the Lord explains that IF that were possible, and this undeserving sinner, saved by grace ... but kept saved by his own goodness, slips a fraction by a little white lie of... exageration ... and loses his salvation, it is impossible for him to ever be saved again because Jesus would have to die again ... just for him.
So if it is impossible to be saved twice ... Do you still believe in losing your salvation? Tell me quick ... before you doubt, sin again, and get lost again. What a miserable life that would be... a five minute, eternal salvation. If that were true, we would all be lost more hours of a day than we would be saved. And what if you died in beteen any two of your millions of prayers of repentance? RB

If God Founded America, What Of Those Who Destroy It?

Is Crime Against Millions More Evil Than Against One?

Crimes and damage against an individual or group may cause great harm to those few affected, but do nothing to damage the nation. As much as I hate crimes against individuals and hope the perpetrators are caught and punished, there is another crime which I believe is far worse. That is, crimes against our Christian founders, our entire nation, all its people, and all of our descendants into the distant future.

It took millions of hard working, patriotic, and descent Americans 250 years of sacrifice, labor, and their very lives to build this nation, fight its wars, protect its Constitution and demand justice. Then comes along a politician, president or perverted ideologue who dedicates his energy, wealth and life to change the nation into a political system which robs the producing class to support the lazy, wasteful class, punish the innocent, and reward the guilty. A Socialistic system which has always ended in tragedy in every nation which ever tried it. Add that to those same insidious fiends, their inborn tendency to the corruption of our sacred halls of justice. And this without a twitch of concern for the loss and suffering of the generations who built this nation and those too who follow us and have to pay for these egregious errors wicked men have left them.

It is quite easy to forgive or punish, in kind, localized and limited crimes against the few. But life in prison or even execution of the offenders is not sufficient punishment for those who are rapidly destroying the Christian America which our Christian forefathers once pledged their all for, to rid us of tyrants. They swore their "lives, fortunes and sacred honor" to set America free from a corrupt and unjust government.

To betray that heritage, and our millions of citizens; and to violate yet unborn millions of our descendants, and in fact, our very God who founded America, passes the lowest mark of things most unforgivable. And there are many such people who have passed that mark in their corrupt, cruel and fanatical rise to power. Voters have grown so used to corruption, political largess, and wickedness in our leaders that they prefer such people to lead us. Such vile evil is the sin of King Jeroboam, who "Made priests of the lowest of the people."

"For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." Acts 28:27

"Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness." Acts 4:18-19
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron". 1 Tim.4:1-2
Only God can forgive such a crime against humanity, but I doubt He will, for even the time of acceptable repentance passes ... and leaves lechery simmering in the soul ... forever.

Understanding Sin And Holiness In The Same Man

Our Flesh And Spirit War Against Each Other

When God created man in his own image, he first created his fleshly body and then breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.

So every man has a two fold nature, a God created, temporal body of flesh and a God breathed life or eternal spirit. Jesus also had a two fold nature, a physical, flesh and blood body, born of a physical, flesh and blood mother and a spirit, the Spirit of Christ which was God's presence in that human body. Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man with those two natures. His body hungered, thirsted, tired and was tempted in all the ways we are, yet he sinned not. His physical body felt all the human infirmities we feel but his Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ in him, resisted them, and he never sinned.   "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." Heb. 4:15.   His body felt all the human infirmities we feel but, his Holy Spirit resisted all those fleshly temptations.        
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Phil.2:5-8.   As God, he could not have died without a human body.

Jesus explained the two fold nature of man to Nicodemus in their discussion about being born again. There is a fleshly "water" birth (formed in the mother's amniotic sack of water and then born when the mother's water breaks. The baby's body is, at that time, 78 to 84% water). A person must, of course, be physically born before they can be spiritually born.

"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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3:5-6.   

Jesus Christ condemned and conquered sin for us, which we could never conquer on our own because of the weakness of our sinful flesh. We inherited our flesh from our parents, back to Adam and Eve, our original parents, whose sin was disobedience to God.  Since then, all flesh is weak and sinful, except that of Jesus. The Spirit of Christ was God living in the flesh of Mary's baby, Jesus. 

"For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh." Rom.8:3.

"Wherefore, as by one man  (Adam)  sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." Rom.5:12.

"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." Ecc. 7:20

Jesus put it this way...   "....there is none good but one, that is, God...." Matt.19:17

Therefore, one must understand the two fold nature of man in order to understand the words of Jesus in 1 John 3:9     
"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." 1 John 3:9.
        
So what part of you, the "born again Christian", is it which is born of God? Is it your outer, mortal flesh, which is tempted, carnal, gets sick, stinks and dies, then rots in the grave until it is resurrected and glorified, that is born of God? Or is it your inner, God breathed, eternal spirit, as opposed to the outer dying fleshly man, who is born again?  Jesus said that part of you which is born of God "doth not commit sin". DOES NOT COMMIT SIN". He didn't say that which is born of God "should not sin" or "must not sin", he says it "CANNOT SIN" because it is born of God.    "for his seed remaineth in him; and he cannot sin because he is born of God."
It is not our messy flesh which is born of God but your eternal spirit.

This is exactly what Christ's Apostle, Paul, was confessing and teaching in Romans 7:14-25. So reread these verses in light of the two fold nature of man.

If you do not understand the two fold nature of man, you will never understand  verses like Heb.6:4-6.    "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."   "If" is used here in the same probing sense as Paul used it in   1 Cor. 15:13-32..."...If the dead rise not...."    It is a conjunction of condition such as, "If God is real, judgment is certain."

"If" it were possible that you could be saved and lose it, you could never again be saved because Jesus would have to die again for you.

Romans 7:14-15
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Common Sense Keys To A Treasured Life

My Thoughts On The Subject...

Be kind To All But Firmly Embraceing Divisive Truth
Compromise on anything but the truth and right.
The true value of a person is not what you see ...
It is the likeness God stamped upon us of Himself.
Keeping your word is halfway to success in life.
A kind word to everyone costs only a single breath.
Loving people costs you absolutely nothing.
Appeasing error and evil will cost you everything.
Helping others find their place in life is divine.  

Endurance Through Faith, Patience, And Perseverance
Never give up on a just cause or a just person..
Success is never impossible until you quit trying.
God's goal for you is beyond mountains and valleys.
God's perfect will for you is never impossible for you.
When you have nothing left to give, give up that lie.
God never quits on you so don't you quit on Him.
When you can't take another step, take another step.
When your dream dies, bury it there and turn right.

Repentance Yieldedness And Obedience To God's Will 
Too much unholy baggage has lost many a holy race.
A home stuffed with what-nots makes living difficult.
God may not reveal His will till you are willing to do it. 
That means ... Be willing to do it before you know it.
Blocked relationships are like blocked arteries ...
They cause heart problems and health problems.
With God, obedience is better than great sacrifice.

Stewardship of time, talent, treasure and testimony
God gives us a short time which determines eternity.
What to be, who to be, be the you that God did see.
It's not your money God wants but you yourself... but
Your time talent life earned the money spend it wisely.
Use it up, wear it out, make It do, or do without.
Not your words or looks but your life is your testimony.
To waste life is literally to waste something of eternity.
We will give account for our stewardship of God's gifts.
