it's official fix a flat teddy is now walking upside down and backwards -- so let's see if we can help him back on his feet

in lil bro david's post in regards to Jeremiah 17:9 the heart is desperately wicked who can know it? Our forum Superman went on the offensive against yours truly and little bro david . But as I will demonstrate below in his misguided quote Superman has been putting a little bit too much kryptonite coffee creamer in his morning cup of java
" GEESH, since 'The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?' according to the CONTEXT of Jeremiah, then that includes you also rsvp??? "
The heart is deceitful above all things: Our hearts often deceive us, presenting heart-fulfillment as the key to happiness. What we desire is often not what we need. The advice “be true to your heart” fails when the heart is deceitful above all things.
“In the OT usage the heart signifies the total inner being and includes reason. From the heart come action and will.” (Feinberg)
“The pravity and perversity of the man’s heart, full of harlotry and creature confidence, deceiving and being deceived, is here plainly and plentifully described; and oh that it were duly and deeply considered.” (Trapp)
And desperately wicked: The heart is not only deceitful, but also wicked – and desperately so. Many have been led to rebellion, disobedience, and great sorrow by following their heart, without challenging their heart and judging it by the measure of God’s truth. “Follow your heart” is poor advice when the heart is desperately wicked.
For the believer under the New Covenant, we have a new heart (Ezekiel 36:26), are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and a new man patterned after Jesus (Ephesians 4:24, Colossians 3:10). Still, there is an element of sin and flesh that remains in the believer
neither david nor moon nor myself are encouraging sin what we do recognizes the fact that we are living in a temporary cursed creation still in fleshly imperfect bodies and that means the flesh is weak and anyone who has been a Christian any length of time for years perhaps , has limited free will and makes mistakes aka sin. Nobody but nobody including you can say with a straight face before these forum readers that during your walk with Christ you have never looked at a woman with lust you have never told a lie never had a hateful thought never let loose an expletive out of your mouth and been completely obedient to God . That's just pure steer manure

not scriptural, all your own words, but the word of God for our body is sin put to death, so we wont die..
Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 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.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 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.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Deny, ridicule, ignore, refuse to engage, who cares, only a fool believes a fool.
The words of God rebuke you always, that is the reason we learn them, to make satan flee and his knowledge be foolish.

Paul struggles with sin but apparently a is for adam j is for jacks doesn't but that's the pride of sinless perfectionism
romans 7 (15-19) Paul describes his sense of helplessness
For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.
a. For what I am doing, I do not understand: Paul’s problem isn’t a lack of desire – he wants to do what is right (what I will to do, that I do not practice). His problem isn’t knowledge – he knows what the right thing is. His problem is a lack of power: how to perform what is good I do not find. He lacks power because the law gives no power.
i. The law says: “Here are the rules and you had better keep them.” But it gives us no power for keeping the law.
b. It is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me: Is Paul denying his responsibility as a sinner? No. He recognizes that as he sins, he acts against his nature as a new man in Jesus Christ. A Christian must own up to his sin, yet realize that the impulse to sin does not come from who we really are in Jesus Christ.
i. “To be saved from sin, a man must at the same time own it and disown it; it is this practical paradox which is reflected in this verse. A true saint may say it in a moment of passion, but a sinner had better not make it a principle.” (Wuest)
