We cannot know another person’s heart, but we can see if their theology or words align with Scripture or not. He advocates that we must sin as per 1 John 1:8. But this is a justification of evil because 1 John 2:4 says that the person who says they know the Lord and does not keep His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in them. So 1 John 1:8 cannot be advocating the sin and still be saved interpretation.
I believe 1 John 1:8 is connected with 1 John 1:10. We both agree with 1 John 1:10. We both agree that we have sinned in our past life before coming to Christ. Yet, 1 John 1:10 is saying if we say we have not sinned (past tense involving our old life) we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. This is obviously referring to those who deny sin’s existence. In fact, John is writing to the brethren and warning them about those who are trying to seduce them (1 John 2:26). So this means 1 John 1:8 is talking about a denial of sin’s existence in the present tense when a person does sin. 1 John 1:8 is basically saying if we say we have no sin if we do sin. This is why John brings up 1 John 1:9. It is the healthy prescription of what a believer must do if they do sin vs. ignoring sin’s existence if one were to sin. John is saying if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. The question is: Do you believe the bolded words from 1 John 1:9? I don’t see how because you said you must sin again daily. This to me is insane. Nowhere will you find the Bible condoning our sin that leads to spiritual death.
Did I say I MUST sin daily?
Since I am not in a STATE of habitual sinning?
Do you see the subtle nuances on words here?

I still don’t believe it is correct. I strive to not use words that are associated with another false religion so as not to be tied to them.
It is not the Ten Commandments that are written on our hearts. They were only for God's people until sin was taken out of them. With sin gone, we do not need commandments that show us our sin.
The ten commandments are DO NOT, NOT, NOT
The laws written on our hearts are DO, DO, DO.

You said in another thread, I quote:
“If we confess (ean homologōmen). Third-class condition again with ean and present active subjunctive of homologeō, “if we keep on confessing.” ...DAILY...Confession of sin to God and to one another (Jas_5:16) is urged throughout the N.T. from John the Baptist (Mar_1:5) on.
Are you perfect and holy right now in your own esteem?
We are clothed with the righteousness of Christ Jesus, yes, do Christians still commit acts of sin, yes.”

1st problem with O.S.A.S.
I don't live in Israel and so do not know culturally what common language they have with each other. I just know that he used that word, is a Christian, and not a Muslim. So the only thing I can think of for him using that word, is the culture he lives in. He and I do not believe alike at all, but I love my enemies... LOL
I am a writer. A Christian author. I do research. But I do know that the apostles were Jewish and wrote in the Semitic writing styles. Jesus used Hebrew idioms also, that westerners can't figure out the true meaning in the gospels. They are hindered by lack of knowledge.
I have a large library and many versions of Bibles, and also non-canonical ancient writings. I like to compare our Old Testament with the Tanakh.

It has nothing to do with whether I love my enemies or not. I don’t condone the use of words that are exclusive to the Muslim religion even if they have bled over into his culture (Although it is not a salvation issue). But the question is why would he want to be confused with other religions? We are called to be holy and separate from the world. Then again, he does not see a problem in promoting false idol images of Jesus, either (like the one in his avatar). Then again, these things really do not matter for him. He can simply commit sins that leads unto death, and still be saved in his version of Christianity.

You do have trouble accepting this don't you:
I will write my laws in their minds and place them on their hearts
In my heart, I don't want to commit adultery, I don't want to steal, bear false witness, covet, take the Lords name in vain etc. It isn't a case of 'do not', just a case of in my heart I don't want to do those things. Maybe you're not like that. From what you've written you can't be, all you have in your heart is do, do do.
You say we don't need commandments to show us our sin. Is that why you can sin without knowing you are doing so? I will repeat, I do not have the luxury of sinning without conscience as you do. So if you can sin without knowing you are sinning, how could you know sin had been taken out of you? I think that's your real problem, you think you don't sin because you don't recognise your sin. That's not a good place to be at.
BTW
If you understood the difference between 1John1:8&1John3:9 you wouldn't be contradicting yourself so much with scripture. Far too many people who go to certain types of churches have great zeal with the faith, but seem unable to get past the literal letter of scripture. They never truly comprehend the message contained in the letter they read

I am really not interested in O. S. A. S. and whatever foreign terminologies you might want to add...
Martin Luther is famous for the Latin phrase simul justus et peccator, which means “simultaneously just (or righteous) and sinner.” In this phrase, he was communicating the theological understanding that the Christian is both justified/righteous and at the same time a sinner.
...you will disagree, of course, since you have already attained the state of sinless perfection, not found in Scripture
By faith, Christians are justified before God as their sins are pardoned and the righteousness of Christ is imputed to them. Yet, in the ongoing pilgrim life of the Christian, there is still a struggle with sin that is discouraging and that, sadly, may lead to devastating consequences. So, how does the Christian, who is justified in Christ, deal with the continuing presence of sin?
Remember Who You Are
First, we must remember who we are as those united to Christ by faith. The Apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 1 that we have been redeemed, adopted, forgiven, and given spiritual blessings, have obtained an inheritance, and more. These are tremendous descriptions of what we have in Christ by the grace of God. Therefore, our relationship to sin has been utterly changed, and how we respond to sin comes from our understanding of who we are in Christ. We must constantly remind ourselves of who we are in Christ and what Christ has done for us.
The Means of Grace
Let me offer a few practical ways to do this. Make sure that you are a part of a church with a minister who preaches the gospel every week. The gospel reminds us of who we are in Christ and what Christ has done for us.
Also, in your church, take seriously the sacrament of holy communion. In the Lord’s Supper, we have a physical sign and seal of what Christ has done for us. The preaching of the Word and the administration of the Lord’s Supper are means of grace that encourage us in our lives and again remind us of who we are and what we have received in Christ.
The Armor of God
Of course, even with our understanding of who we are in Christ, we still face regular temptations. Each Christian’s temptations are not the same, but we all struggle with sin as we seek to pursue the holiness that God desires.
The Apostle Paul again calls us to stand firm by putting on the “whole armor of God” (Eph. 6:10–20). We need the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit.
The battle imagery is absolutely appropriate. We must do battle with things that would cause us to fall away from God. This is a constant fight that will not end until we reach heaven. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit is at work in us and will help us in our struggle until that day when we will be glorified and our struggle with sin ultimately will end.
The Reformation was a recovery of the biblical doctrine of sin and salvation. Sin was again seen as a problem that could not be solved by human action. Salvation was again seen as entirely the work of God. God in Christ pays the penalty of our sin. And God through Christ justifies and sanctifies the sinner. In justification, the sinner becomes perfectly holy in the judgment of God. In sanctification, the sinner by grace becomes progressively more holy in his own life.
The Reformation doctrine of justification, in particular, is under serious attack in our time and we need to be renewed in an understanding of that doctrine and in our commitment to it. One way to do that is to meditate on the teaching of the great Reformation catechisms. For example, the great Reformation doctrine of justification was beautifully captured in a question of the Heidelberg Catechism. This catechism, published in 1563 in the Palatinate in Germany, was designed to clarify the doctrinal commitments of the church there and to instruct the people of God in the true faith. This catechism proved to be very effective because of the personal way in which it teaches biblical truth. It came to be used widely in German, Dutch, and Hungarian Reformed churches and was later brought to America. The catechism’s teaching on justification is summarized in question 60. It asks: “How are you righteous before God?” The answer, although long, is most helpful. “Only by true faith in Jesus Christ; that is, although my conscience accuses me that I have grievously sinned against all the commandments of God, and have never kept any of them and that I am still prone always to all evil, yet God, without any merit of mine, of mere grace, grants and imputes to me the perfect satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ, as if I had never committed nor had any sin, and had myself accomplished all the obedience which Christ has fulfilled for me, if only I accept such benefit with a believing heart.”
To appreciate this answer we should look at the four elements of its teaching: 1) the problem of sin, 2) the work of Christ, 3) God’s imputation of that work to us, and 4) the role of faith.
First, the answer to question 60 makes clear how great is the problem of sin for us as fallen creatures. Because of Adam’s fall and my own corruption, I have broken all the commandments of God and never kept any of them. I have no goodness or accomplishment to offer God in order to earn His favor. Even as a Christian I am still inclined to all evil. Left to myself I would still have no strength or righteousness. Neither as a non-Christian nor as a Christian do I merit any reward or blessing from God. I recognize my sad state as my conscience accuses me, but even my sorrow for sin cannot rescue me or gain God’s favor. I grieve because by my sin I have grieved my heavenly Father.
Second, I recognize that Jesus has done for me what I could never have done for myself. Jesus was perfectly obedient to the Law of God. In this way, He is the Second Adam. As Adam was created in the image of God to be the obedient and faithful image bearer of God, so the eternal Son of God came in the flesh and was born under the Law to do what the first Adam failed to do. Jesus kept the Law completely so that He was fully holy in Himself and perfectly righteous in the light of God’s justice. Jesus also satisfied God’s justice for sinners who could not help themselves. Although Jesus was perfectly holy and not personally liable for the curse visited on sinners, He took the place of sinners on the cross and bore the penalty and curse for all those in Him.
So there are two aspects to what Jesus did, often called His active obedience and His passive obedience. Actively He fulfilled the Law and passively He suffered judgment and death for His own. Jesus did it all. Nothing remains to be done to merit eternal life. The work of Christ is complete and perfect for sinners.
Third, the work of Christ for justification becomes effective for sinners by the gift of God. God gives that work of Christ in a very particular way, the way of imputation. Imputation is not a word that we use very often. It is a word, however, that Paul used to describe the gift of God (Rom 4:3). Imputation means that God reckons or credits Christ’s work to us. The Heidelberg Catechism expresses the character of imputation clearly when it says that when Christ’s work is imputed to me, it is “as if I had never committed nor had any sin, and had myself accomplished all the obedience which Christ has fulfilled for me.” Because Christ’s obedience — both active and passive — is credited to me by God, God sees me in light of the obedience of Jesus.
Fourth, the instrument by which I receive the imputation of Christ’s work is faith alone. Faith is the way in which I can look away from myself — both from my sin and from my progress in sanctification — and look to Christ as my only hope. Faith is trusting Jesus and not trusting myself. Again the Heidelberg Catechism, question 21, presents a wonderful definition of faith: “What is true faith?” Answer: “It is not only a certain knowledge whereby I hold for truth all that God has revealed to us in his Word, but also a hearty trust which the Holy Ghost works in me by the Gospel, that not only to others but to me also, forgiveness of sins, everlasting righteousness, and salvation, are freely given by God, merely of grace, only for the sake of Christ’s merits.”
This answer shows us how faith looks to Christ and His work alone and trusts it completely. It also shows the blessed confidence that true faith gives us in the salvation that Christ has won for us. The Reformation doctrine of justification helps us to see that our salvation is the work of Christ for us. It also delivers us from a life of doubt and fear that causes us to wonder how God could possibly love sinners like us. It shows us that we have peace with God objectively because Christ has satisfied the demands of God for us, and it shows us subjectively because we can know confidently that by faith in Christ we are right with God.

I believe sin and trespasses are each types of transgressions (not each TYPES of sin) but entirely different BECAUSE of WHO is involved.
Man Against God....a SIN.
Man Against man....a TRESPASS.
Only God forgives SIN.
Men forgive men of TRESPASSES.
God forgives men “THEIR” Trespasses, “IF” men have forgiven other men of trespass committed against that man.
Disagree men SIN against men.
Disagree men FORGIVE men of SIN.
Agree men CAN FORGIVE men of TRESPASSES.
What IS a man AGAINST God, that is called A SIN?
* Bottom line...A man who DOES NOT LOVE GOD!
God Himself CAN NOT SIN...WHY?
* Bottom line...God LOVES ALL of His Creations.
Do ALL men LOVE God?
* Bottom line..NO
* Bottom line...ALL men who DO NOT Love God ARE SINNERS
AGAINST God whom they DO NOT LOVE.
Do ALL men LOVE ALL men?
* Bottom line...NO
* Bottom line...ALL men who DO NOT Love ALL men ARE Trespassers AGAINST all men they DO NOT LOVE.
WHO can forgive men OF SIN for men NOT LOVING God?
Answer...Only God.
WHO can forgive men OF TRESPASSES for men NOT LOVING men?
Answer....men and God.
* WHEN a man IN HIS HEART, Freely concludes that that man BELIEVES IN the Lord God Almighty, that man IS Professing TO: the Lord God Almighty;
That mans own testimony of his great LOVE and ALLEGIANCE TO: ONLY the Lord God Almighty.
That man IS ALSO is pledging TO: LOVE all other men.
* ONCE a man calls ON the Lord, and Gives his TRUE Heartful Testimony and Pledge TO the Lord...
THEN WHAT?
* God Searches the mans HEART.
* FOR WHAT?
* TO SEE “IF” that mans Testimony IS TRUE (or not).
* AND “IF” that mans Testimony IS TRUE...
* THEN WHAT?
* God FORGIVES that man, OF HIS SIN, ONCE and FOREVER, for having had NOT believed in, NOT loved, NOT being in allegiance with God.
* THEN WHAT?
* God KILLS that mans BODY OF SIN. (Washes, cleanses, sanctifies (ie sets apart), justifies, enters that mans NAME IN (the Lambs Book of Life, which can NEVER be blotted out)
THAT BODY to be RISEN CLEAN IN Glory, without SIN.
* Restores (saves) that mans soul of sin, (Back to very good).
* GIVES that mans spirit (natural truth in that mans heart), a new SEED (Gods SEED), which BIRTHS that man A NEW TRUTH, (Gods TRUTH), ie (Born Again).
*** NOW...WHAT IS THE COMMANDING LAW, thereafter APPLIES TO ALL “such” MEN?
Matt 22:
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
THESE ARE the TWO LAWS...written on a Converted mans Heart, (which @savedbygrace1 could not answer)
Thou SHALT is not a question of WILL YOU.
Thou SHALT is a command that YOU WILL.
A Converted man, NOW has the POWER OF GOD, dwelling “IN” them, “WITH” them.
It is by, through, of......Gods POWER “IN” them, that FOREVER, they SHALT Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy mind.
It is by, through......Gods POWER “IN” them, that FOREVER, they SHALT Love thy neighbour as thyself.

May I ask is there ever a day goes by that you don't sin Micky?
SIN, TRESPASS, INIQUITY, ETC.
There are many synonymous words to represent the outworking of man's fallen nature. As these are not always translated by the same English word, it is necessary that we should distinguish them. The student, by reference to the following list, will be able to do so:—
chat'a, to sin; to miss the mark (as in Judges 20:16). Also of the feet, to stumble and fall (Proverbs 19:2). Hence, morally, a coming short, blameworthiness-not necessarily willful. An act of thought, word, or deed, not a condition. Usually (but by no means always) rendered sin, and other words also so rendered.
'asham, trespass, to sin through error or ignorance. Compare Leviticus 4:13; 5:2, 3. Numbers 5:6, 7. Judges 21:22. 1Chronicles 21:3. 2Chronicles 19:10; 28:10, 13. 'Asham is a breach of commandment, done in ignorance, but, when the guilt is proved, requiring atonement.
'aven, iniquity, specially connected with idolatry. Used because an idol is nothing and vanity (compare Hosea 4:15; 5:8; 10:5, 8. Amos 5:5, margin). Hence, 'aven comes to mean vanity (compare Job 15:35. Psalm 10:7. Proverbs 22:8, etc.). The word has many renderings, which are pointed out in the passages when it occurs. 'Aven is rather a course of bad conduct flowing from the evil desires of fallen nature, than breaches of the law as such.
'avah, perverseness, from the root to be bent, or crooked. English wrong, that is to say, wrung out of course, expresses it (compare 1Samuel 20:30. 2Samuel 19:19. 1Kings 8:47. Job 33:37, etc.).
'amal, trouble, labor, toil. Sin viewed in the light of the trouble it causes; and of its burden; and its grievousness (Isaiah 10:1. Habakkuk 1:3). Often rendered perverseness (Numbers 23:21), also mischief (Job 15:35).
'aval, unjust, unfairness, sin in its nature as deceitful, dishonesty, that which is not equal and right, unfairness in dealings. Rendered unjust (Psalm 43:1; 82:2. Proverbs 29:27. Isaiah 26:10), unrighteous (Leviticus 19:15, 35).
'abar, to pass beyond, transgress. Hence, transgression (Psalm 17:3. Hosea 6:7; 8:1).
ra'a', wicked, injurious. From its root, which indicates its nature as breaking up all that is good or desirable; injurious to all others. In Greek poneros, evil, or kakos, bad. Hence especially of moral depravity and corruption, and lewdness. English "good-for-nothing" (1Samuel 17:28), naughty (2Kings 2:19. Proverbs 20:14. Jeremiah 24:2).
pash'a, revolt, rebellion. Sin against lawful authority. Often rendered transgression (Psalm 51:13. Proverbs 28:21. Isaiah 43:27). In Proverbs 10:12 the action of love or mercy shown stands in strong contrast to this character of the sin.
rasha', wickedness, in the sense of the restless activity of fallen nature (Job 3:17. Isaiah 53:9; 57:20, 21); where it refers to the activity of the impious and ungodly, or robbers.
ma'al, treachery, unfaithfulness, breach of trust, often rendered trespass and transgression. It is used of Achan (Joshua 7:1; 22:20). Compare Joshua 22:16. 2Chronicles 26:18; 28:22; 33:19. Ezra 9:2,4. Nehemiah 13:27, etc.
shagag, erring from imprudence, rashness, being deceived, not willfully; and shagah, erring willfully through passion or wine, hence, to go astray. As sin it is to be distinguished from presumptuous or high-handed sin. Compare Leviticus 4:13. Numbers 15:22, etc., with Numbers 15:30. Psalm 119:21.
zimmah, meditated wickedness, plotted, planned, and designed; wicked, or lewd purpose, especially of sins of unchastity.
chasad = shameful. A Homonym, meaning (1) Here, and Job 37:13 (where it is rendered "mercy" in Authorized Version and Revised Version). But "lightning" is not "mercy", but chastisement. (2) The other meaning is mercy, lovingkindness, or grace. See note on Leviticus 20:14.
shal, fault, committed inadvertently through negligence.
THE SYNONYMOUS WORDS USED FOR "SIN", "WICKEDNESS", "EVIL", "UNGODLINESS", "DISOBEDIENCE", "TRANSGRESSION", ETC.
Appendix 128 To The Companion Bible.
I. SIN.
i. The Verb.
hamartano = to miss the mark or aim; then, to miss or wander from the right path; to go, or do, wrong.
ii. The Noun.
1. hamartia = a failing to hit the mark; aberration from prescribed law (connected with and resulting from the above). In New Testament always in a moral sense = a sin, whether by omission or commission, in thought, word, or deed. Also used in connection with the sin-offering (Hebrews 10:6, 8, 18; 13:11, as in Psalm 40:6, compare Leviticus 5:8).
2. hamartema = the actual sin. The evil principle in action; the sinful act or deed.
3. paraptoma = a falling aside, when one should have stood upright. Hence (morally) a fall, a falling aside from truth and equity; a fault, or trespass.
In Romans 5:12, No. 1 entered the world. The disobedience of Adam (verses 15, 17, 18) was No. 3, and the law entered that No. 3 which before was error, might become criminal in the knowledge of the sinner. After this, where No. 1 abounded, grace did much more abound.
II. WICKEDNESS.
1. poneria = depravity; iniquity, the wicked acting of the evil nature. See No. III. 1 below.
2. kakia = depravity, the vicious disposition and desires, rather than the active exercise of them, which is No. 1 (poneria).
III. EVIL (Adjective and Noun).

Thank you for the long list of OT references, applicable to Hebrews, Tribes, Jews, Under Mosaic Laws.
How about consideration of Jewish speakers IN THE NT?
Mark 2
- [7] Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
- [21] And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
Jewish men, WANTED TO KILL Jesus, EXPRESSLY FOR JESUS Forgiving men of their SINS.
Jewish men, KNEW ONLY God forgives SIN.
Jewish men, KNEW a man FORGIVING a man OF SIN, was a man MAKING HIMSELF GOD.
John 10:
[33] The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Do you pray to a God you HAVE Committed TO and Repeatedly ask Him TO forgive you For NOT Believing IN Him?
I don’t.
Nor do I forgive men of Sin they commit against God.
Only God forgives SIN.
Men forgive TRESPASSES.
Men forgiving SIN, is men making themselves God.
If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
John20:23
