Please show me anywhere that I attempt to “Justify” Sin.
By denying the reality of Luke 10:25-28, and 1 Corinthians 16:22. This is where you justify sin.
You said:
Seeing it.....Admitting it ....Seeking the Grace Of God that Forgives it and calling out those that falsely think that they have “ overcome” it is a FAR CRY from “justifying” it......
The Bible tells us we can overcome sins that lead unto spiritual death or the Lake of Fire.
Galatians 5:24 says:
“And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
2 Corinthians 7:1 says:
“…let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”
1 Peter 4:1-2 says:
“Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of
his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.”
These kinds of statements do not align with your kind of thinking.

Everybody ( Saved and Unsaved) has the Old Sin Nature That we inherited from Adam ....That Old Man wins our Spiritual Battle at times, even in the best of us— It sins entirely because it “Wants” to......You sin every hour of everyday with impure thoughts, worry( sorry, but that’s a sin! )
Romans 6:6-7 says:
“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. For he that is dead is freed from sin.”
Romans 6:12-14
“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members
as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members
as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
You said:
and by the Sins Of OMISSION whereby you know many good things to do that you SHOULD BE doing but you aren’t doing them......
Right. Narrow is the way that leads unto life and few be there that find it. God requires us to be faithful over a few things in this life to enter the Kingdom (Matthew 25:21). The unprofitable servant is cast into outer darkness (Matthew 25:31).
You said:
When it comes to Sin, we are trapped like the Rats that we are.....”Sinless Perfection” is a Lie Of the Devil That YOU have fallen for .....the only way out of our “ Trap” is to embrace Grace , the only Elixir that God has for sin....
God’s grace is not a license for immorality (Jude 1:4). Actually, the lie of the devil is the one from the garden that says you can break God’s command and not die. He sold Eve on this lie and now look at the mess mankind is in. 1 John 3:8-10 says:
“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 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. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.” (1 John 3:8-10).
Can certain believers stumble at times? Yes, but they cannot have the attitude you have that all our sins is paid for and thus we should not worry that sin cannot condemn us. Jesus said if you don’t forgive, you will not be forgiven by the Father (Matthew 6:15). This kind of saying would not exist in Scripture if things are as you falsely say.
You said:
If Believers no longer sin , why does the Bible talk about Chastisement for God's Children —- is He Chastising Saved people for Nothing? Why does God tell us to “Go BOLDLY to “ The Throne Of Grace” when we sin? Answer these two questions and don’t try to ignore them...They prove you are wrong....
To quote another brother in Christ:
“The error in your reasoning is that it fails to account for differences that occur over time. The state of a particular man at time A does not necessitate that he be in that same state at time B. John Doe may not be keeping all of our Lord's commandments today, but tomorrow it is possible for him, by the grace of God.”

In the end, my confused friend, (put on your “ Thinking Cap” If you have one) —- People will always do what they “ Want” to do! What you don’t understand is that if you are “ In Christ” , the Holy Spirit is within you , working to Change those “ Wants” ......Every night I drink and smoke dope just as much as I “Want” to ! Problem is......I don’t WANT to......Why, it’s as if God was cleaning up “The Inside Of the Cup!” ......Does That Ring a Bell? Sometimes it takes a while to get that cup Sparkling as much as we would like it to be.....Any Unclean parts of that “ Cup” are covered by Grace until the Day That God calls us home.....
This is not true. Jesus warned us about how even looking at a woman in lust can cause us to be cast bodily into hellfire (See: Matthew 5:28-30).
Yes, there is grace, but I believe that grace is to overcome sin in this life and not to justify it like you believe.
You said:
Only a Fool would try to “ Justify” sin....
But that’s what you believe. You believe you can sin and still be saved despite the many warnings in the Bible against willfully sinning.
Hebrews 10:26 says, “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,”
Believers have to confess and forsake sin in order to have mercy (Proverbs 28:13) (1 John 1:9) (1 John 2:1) (1 John 1:7).
You said:
.it takes a bigger Fool to Reject the Grace that covers it....
I can only imagine the horror you will face when you confront the Lord Jesus with this kind of false thinking about God’s grace.
Jesus said depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matthew 7:22-23). This was in context to doing what Jesus said because our Lord said that the person who does not do what He says is like a fool who built his house upon the sand and when a storm came, great was the fall of that house (Matthew 7:26-27). Meaning, we will not be saved if we don’t do what Jesus says.
You said:
The First part of the Gospel That Saves says that “Jesus DIED FOR YOUR SINS”.....KNOWING that and RESTING in that makes one “WANT” to Sin LESS—- NOT MORE! Of course, some things have to be Spiritually Discerned and to those that Lack that Spirit, you may as well spend your time explaining colors to a blind man....People pay “lip- service” to the Gospel ,they’ve heard it a million times....their constant preoccupation with Sins that God has already dealt with by putting them on the Cross shows that don’t really Believe it , much less, REST in it as God Commands....All Those “Holier than Thou” so- called “Commandment Keepers”out there! You NEVER hear them talk about the Command to REST in the Gospel.....God declares them Guilty Of UNBELIEF and they don’t even know it....They are too busy , as Paul said, “ Troubling” those that get it right by Resting in the Finished Work Of The Cross....
The problem is that the Bible does not teach future sin is paid for. That is your false belief that is not in the Bible. As I stated to you before, believers must confess sin in order to be forgiven of sin (1 John 1:9). If we willfully sin after we received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sin (Hebrews 10:26). God wants us to forsake our evil ways like the Ninevites whereby He decided to not bring judgment upon them as a result (See: Jonah 3:6-10). So you are ignoring Scripture to make your personal belief that you can sin while under God’s grace work. This is wrong beyond imagining. One can murder, cheat, steal, and do all kinds of unimaginable sins all while under grace with them being saved according to you. But that is not what the Bible teaches. God cannot agree with your sin. God is holy, just, and good. I even realize there is a chance I may not make it into God’s Kingdom. But you look at grace as a cover-all do whatever you want kind of attitude. Sure, you say you will sin less but that does not matter if you are justifying other sins. You are still doing evil and the lusts of the father (the devil) you will do. Christians have to overcome sin that leads to spiritual death in this life or they are not going to make it (Myself included). I am not above God’s Word anymore than you are. You have twisted grace to be a license for immorality and you don’t even know it. Again, I can only imagine the horror you will face when you meet the Lord if you don’t repent of this false gospel you teach.
