“Once For All”

[Behold]

Not "accidents" but unintentional,

The members who are reading your posts, are hearing you say......>"ive never sinned intentionally once, in all the years ive been saved".

And they know better..

You confess sin all your Christian life for of many years.... , and to pretend on a public Christian forum 5x.... that none of those sins (works of the flesh) you have ever committed were committed intentionally........is not a good idea .

Now, you will need to respond to that emotional feeling you have, that is pushing you to keep repeating your statement, and so, you go right ahead, as ive had you tell us this nonsense at least 4 times, and i wanted the members to see that the person who defines himself as the "chaplin of the entire internet".....has some confessing to do.

 

[Netchaplain]

For the Christian, what sins are not willful? Doesn't the idea of a Christian unwillfully committing a sin go against the teaching from Scripture that we've been freed from the power of sin? So that there is no sin you cannot choose to not commit, isn't that so?

Much love!

Hi Marks! Paul said he did not want to sin (Ro 7:15-20). To me, to "walk after the Spirit" is to always want to please God (Phl 2:13); this involves not committing willful sins (Heb 10:2).

Why would a Christian desire to sin willfully? Maybe one who is young in maturity in Christ, until the Spirit guides him differently.

Not freed from committing sin, nobody has that capability.

You didn't answer my question though. What sins are unintentional? Not willful? Or in other words, what sin is there that you cannot refuse to commit in Christ's power?

Personally I think the Hebrews passage is referring to Jews who have heard about Jesus but choose to continue to offer sacrifices for their sins.

Regardless, I don't believe there is such a thing as willful and unwillful sins for the Christian. I believe you and I both make choices, and sometimes those choices result in sin. So I ask, what sin is "unwillful"?

Much love!

What Paul actually teaches is that He is "made free from sin" and that God does not Charge sin to any Christian

Romans 4:8
2 Cor 5:19

 

[Behold]

Yes, actually any Christians is "made free from sin".........and to exist where sin consciousness is gone.........is to exist in a discipleship that is not in bondage to committing works of the Flesh.

The Devil created a Theology, using Romans 7, that teaches....that your Chrisitianity (Reader) is..."sin, confess, repeat" and you have no power to stop.

= When in fact, God has created our Salvation to not only give us Eternal Life as Eternal Security, but He has remedied the "sin nature" because our "old man of sin is dead" so "how can we live any longer therein"? Paul teaches.


See that?

So, if you are living in the old man of flesh, like Net Chaplin, you will be teaching that "Christians will sin" and then out of the out of the other side of his mouth, he says that you wont do it intentionally.
So, this is just religious fluff carnal nonsense, pretending to be a teacher.

Its pathetic.

Anything wrong that was not intended, i.e. wrath, jealousy, saying or doing something you realize that you did not want to say or do, etc.

Are you certain of that?

Romans 6:5-12 KJV
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.
8) Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9) Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10) For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11) Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

We are told that we have been freed from sin.
We are told to reckon ourselves to be actually dead to sin, and alive to God.
We are told to not let sin rule in our bodies, to not obey it.

We are free from sin. We are to consider ourselves dead to sin. Are these things true?

Personally I think the reason we still sin is that our minds are not fully renewed to think/live according to our new creation.

I think that to walk in the Spirit is to, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to actually live according to our new creation. The more consistent we will be, the less we sin.

Much love!

 

[Behold]

Why would a Christian desire to sin willfully?

Because the lust of the flesh = temptations that are your flesh's desires , do not end, until you die.

So, the remedy, is not to try to resist, or to confess it......the rememdy for this "in the flesh" issue, is to understand how God perceives a born again Christian as having become......."made righteous", as "The righteousness of God.. in Christ"., and that become OUR MIND, and our REVELATION... and our REAL FAITH.

So, its by having a correct understanding of what it means to have become A "NEW Creation" in Christ as our REAL FAITH.....= is the deliverance from "works of the flesh".

See, wanting to enjoy carnality, as a born again Christian, is solved not by trying to resist it, but by coming into the revelaiton of who we are "in Christ" as our Right Mind.......or the "renewed mind" as Paul Teaches.

I hope you understand what I'm saying here, and that you don't actually abdicate responsibility for any wrongdoing.

Not intended? How is it that you can act without intent? If you speak to someone harshly, unrightfully, it's you that is forming the words, forming the tone, all that, isn't it? I do not understand how someone can say, "Yes, I hit you, but I didn't intend to, I wasn't choosing to, my arm acted on its own, It's not me that did it."

If we don't understand how our own choices affect our behavior, how will we know to make better choices?

Normally I feel like I track right alongside of you, though in this case I think there is more to this, than, "I only commit unwillful sins". That makes absolutely no sense to me.

Much love!

This is the trouble with false teachers and false teachings.

God's Law is no more!

No wonder there are other false teachers and teachings that spring up. Like, Eternal Salvation,i.e Eternal Security, is a myth. You can lose Salvation.

No you cannot. Why? Because Jesus said so.

Easton's Bible Dictionary - Sin​

Sin [N] [T] Sin - Bible Meaning & Definition - Baker's Dictionary [H] Sin, - Smith's Bible Dictionary Online
is "any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of God" ( 1 John 3:4 ; Romans 4:15 ), in the inward state and habit of the soul, as well as in the outward conduct of the life, whether by omission or commission ( Romans 6:12-17 ; 7:5-24 ). It is "not a mere violation of the law of our constitution, nor of the system of things, but an offence against a personal lawgiver and moral governor who vindicates his law with penalties. The soul that sins is always conscious that his sin is (1) intrinsically vile and polluting, and (2) that it justly deserves punishment, and calls down the righteous wrath of God. Hence sin carries with it two inalienable characters, (1) ill-desert, guilt (reatus); and (2) pollution (macula).", Hodge's Outlines.
The moral character of a man's actions is determined by the moral state of his heart. The disposition to sin, or the habit of the soul that leads to the sinful act, is itself also sin ( Romans 6:12-17 ; Galatians 5:17 ; James 1:14 James 1:15 ).
Full article: What is Sin? Biblical Meaning and Definition)


The Born Again Christian is no longer in the fallen state,category, of Sinner. Our sins no longer count against us. They are under the blood of Jesus.
We all make mistakes. Those are sins.
Wilful sin,such as, adultery, is something else. Yet,it is still sin.

One sin that is unforgiven? Blasphemy of God's Holy Spirit.

I browsed a Christian site just before the 2024 election.
What an experience. There was rabid Trump hater-aid jumping off on the board dedicated to Bible study.
One small,thank God,group were accusing Conservative Christians of worshipping Donald Trump. One insisted he was those on board Christians god.

When those Christians under attack have the Holy Spirit within them,those there who claimed to know Christ yet were insisting God's Holy Spirit was wilfully evicted by the haters own imagination and replaced with Trump we're blaspheming Holy Spirit.

Thankfully,the actual Christians there knew better. TDS doesn't tell God what to do.

Here's the point. We have to be careful of who we read and let tell us what God means to say in scripture
When God knows what he means to teach us and even died to seal his covenant for all time.
And falsehood cannot cancel that unless we choose to believe false purveyors of a contrary gospel. Which is actually not Gospel at all .

On that board I mentioned,there were false teachers there who claimed to preach too.

God help those who remained seated in any venue where the false ones appeared. Getting up and walking out saves time. And souls,so they might find their way to the truth of God in Christ.

Wilful sin,such as, adultery, is something else. Yet,it is still sin.

Its the Law and 10 Commandments that define a person as sinner., becaues its the law and 10 commandments that are what a person breaks that gives the law the authority to now define them as "sinning" as a sinner.

So, if the Law and 10 Commandments, can no longer define our deeds, at all.......then we are "made free from sin".. because we are "not under the Law" which use to be able to define our deeds as sin before we were born again, when we were under the Law.

Therefore, now being born again.... "UNDER GRACE" where there is no Moses's Law or 10 Commandments........the born again exist here..

= "where there is no LAW.. there is no SIN (no Transgression)".. found or charged to a born again Believer who is "in Christ".

This is why God does not imput sin.... 2 Corin 5:19...Romans 4:18...... to a born again believer for 2 reason.

A.) "God hath made JESUS to be sin for us".........and we are "not under the law"...therefore there is no Justification found whereby God can charge a born again believer with sin.

AA.) No Law = no sin found..........and the "born again, are not under the law, but under Grace"

Reader........notice.........When Adam and Eve were in the world.......sin was also in the world, but it was not charged to anyone because there was no LAW, yet given.

"where there is no Law, there is no Transgression (sin) =charged".

Now, where this causes Christians to begin to squirm..., is because their first carnal thought is not to understand this "simplicity that is found in Christ".......but their first thought is....>>"but what if i do something really bad"...... 'How can that not be SIN"..

AAA.) The Law can't define your deed as anything......because ""you are not under the law, but under Grace""..

So, your bad deed is now a work of the flesh, committed here....

= "where there is no LAW, there is no SIN." charged to you.

Romans 4:8
2 Corin 5:19

See it yet, Reader?
When you do see it, when you finally get this "Hebrews 13:9 . HEART".. revelations..... your JOY is going to be so FULL and your Christianity is going to be so different, so much better, greater, and powerful.

Welcome to your Salvation., = its AWESOME what God has done for us forever, through The Cross of Christ.

Amen!!! For me the most important of all is to know what the Bible itself says, so that I can measure my thoughts and feelings and actions against God's Word. The Bible is the objective source of truth by which I can be certain that the voice in my heart is the Holy Spirit, and not my own thoughts, whether what's inside me does or does not align with God's Word.

Yes,dear reader,don't believe a word Behold has written.

Read the Bible.

That is the word of God.
The 10 commands of God that were given to Moses are moral laws.

Reader,have you ever encountered someone who insists eternal security,Salvation, is a lie? They refer to it sometimes as, OSAS,Once Saved Always Saved. And insist eternal irrevocable Salvation is a falsehood because it means you have a license to sin?

The argument for,license to sin, was just published by Behold above.

It is unbiblical gymnastics using scripture. Which means it is no longer the word of God when you read his post.

It is the word of Behold.

And God tells us Behold will answer for every careless word there.

Our responsibility involves us "pleasing" God, as He "works" this in our hearts and minds (Phl 2:13).

Romans 6:3-11 KJV
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.
8) Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9) Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10) For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11) Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:14 KJV
14) For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Romans 7:4-6 KJV
4) Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
5) For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6) But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Galatians 2:19 KJV
19) For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

Galatians 3:10-14 KJV
10) For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12) And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14) That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

There is no doubt that the Bible teaches we either live according to Law or according to the Spirit of Christ, and we cannot do both. To live according to Law means we are not living according to the Spirit. And to live according to the Spirit means we are not living according to Law.

The Law falls far short of the Spirit of Christ within us. I'll use one example, the Law commands, "do not steal". But the Spirit goes far beyond that, teaching us not only to not steal, but to work extra than we need so we can give to others, as we live with others as family. The Law doesn't go that far.

And not only that. We can take the list of rules in the Law and apply them as best we know. But the Spirit within us can instruct us moment by moment toward how to best express God's love for others as we care for their needs, in ways the Law doesn't even begin to address.

If you want to look at more Scriptures, if you want to look in particular at certain ones, I'll be happy to go through them for you.

It's our desire to keep the Law that works against us, as the Law provokes the flesh,

the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

When we realize we are no longer governed by the Law, we will no longer be trying to direct our own steps as we endeavor to keep the list of rules, and we can live moment by moment trusting in Jesus to lead us to do what is good, and not do what is wrong.

This is NOT a license to sin, it's how God provides that we can stop sin. I know it can seem backwards, but it's very much in the Scriptures.

Much love!

Romans 3:31
Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

1 John 3:4
Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.


On quoting Paul you might want to read what he said in Romans 7.
9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10 The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me. 11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. 12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. 15 For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. 17 So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

2Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Psalm 19:7
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;

Romans 3:31
Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

Romans 3:26-31 KJV
26) To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27) Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29) Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30) Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31) Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

The requirement for faith upholds the validity of the Law.

The point isn't the the Law becomes meaningless since we are not saved by keeping the Law. What Paul is saying here is that because we Have to be saved by faith, this shows that the Law does in fact condemn us. And therefore we do in fact have to be saved by faith, because no one keeps or has kept all the Law.

Think about what I've said. Let me know if you want to discuss this further. I'll let you know I'm fully convinced of the truth of these things, and I am fully convinced this is clearly taught in the Bible.

This does not render me Lawless, rather, under a higher Law, the "Law of Christ", AKA the Law of Love.
