What do you think is the most common sin among Christians?

[MatthewG]

Thank you to anyone else who may respond to what I have stated through out the dialogue of my statements…

There are some people on here I truly don’t care about their responses anymore cause of the damage they have done to a relationship we could have had at one point in time but most people desire a dominate relationship over people’s faiths…

That stuff if played out today in my best estimation and most of the time people on sites likes this don’t give a crap what you think they only care about what they think and that is just the way the world is…

So we all need to get a grip on reality.

Much love! I rather be authentic and honest than just a two faced human being these days, cause God will judge me at the end of life.

So we all need to get a grip on reality.

Do you think taking more psychedelic mushrooms will help you get a grip?

Its not working for you so far......so, its best to not brag about your lifestyle on this Forum........is my advice.

If you are smart, then take that issue you have to the "prayer" section, and let people who know how to pray, get you some help.

Galatians 3

6 ""Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."""

7. ""Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.""""

26: """"For ye are all the children of God by faith = in Christ Jesus.

For the 100 millionth time yes by faith which includes works because a feith absent of works is dead. It's time to wake up smell the coffee and realize faith alone is not sufficient.

Faith is proven by works, .....James teaches.

However, if there was no Faith, there is no Salvation.

Let me show you more..

-
No matter the sin.........Jesus on The Cross has become this.. for the BELIEVER.. = Born Again.

1.) "God hath made Jesus.. to BE SIN....for us"..

2.) "Jesus is the ONE TIME.... ETERNAL.......SACRIFICE...for sin".

This means that all sin for all time is dealt with, by JESUS's Sacrifice.... and therefore God's justice is eternally satisfied.

This explains why God wont charge sin to a Christian.

Romans 4:8

2 Corin 5:19

John 3:17

And here is where the Believer's mind gets blown, as this is the part of "the Gift of Salvation" that offends the flesh and the self righteousness in a Believer.
And the truth is.. .the more prideful and self righteous you are, the more this will offend your point of view, and your opinion, that is your self righteousness, regarding your lack of understanding : God's "GIFT of Salvation."

Now, your milage is going to vary, regarding what im going to teach you.. .so, some will say..>"of course" and others who have the issue will not want to see God's Grace.... will not be able to accept it.

Notice...

1.) The born again are "not under the Law".. ."but under Grace".

That means, that the born again, have RECEIVED a finished salvation and eternal life....that is not based on how you behave.

And that offends the flesh........as the flesh wants to say...>>"""now look everyone... and see what im doing, so that i can say that God's Salvation, is partly based on ME ME ME ME""".

See that?
That is SELF Righteousness, that is denying Jesus full credit for saving you and keeping you saved.
And most Christians, have that "carnal mind" + "in the flesh"..issue and want to fight about what they have to do, to stay saved and stay forgiven., so that they can take some CREDIT instead of Giving Jesus all the CREDIT due Him alone, for saving you and keeping you saved.

Now, a vital understanding regarding the finished work of Jesus on The Cross is it produced this for you.... = You are....

""""""no longer under the LAW".""""

So....You have to understand what this means, as this revelation is how you find real faith for all time., and this revelation is simply that the Law can never again define your deeds as a sin, or define you as a sinner.

Why?
Because you are : "not under the law........but under GRACE".., if you are born again..
Now if you are just water baptised and believe you are saved, then im not talking to you.


2.) So, because "Christ is the END OF THE LAW, for Righteousness".......This means that the born again CHRISTian, is always found here..


'"""""""Where there is NO LAW.......there is no (sin) TRANSGRESSION""""">.

See that?
You must "get that revelation" or you can't mature in Christ, and will always try to confess sin to stay saved, you'll worry about "losing it".... and you'll not be able to get past ... Hebrews 6:1, as your failed discipleship.
Whereas..., when you come to the understanding of what it means to be "made free from sin"... "not under the Law"...You'll read 2 Corin 5:19 and Romans 4:8 and rejoice, because you've finally understand your SALVATION.... Reader.

And once you SEE this Revelation, regarding who you have become '"IN Christ", you have arrived here..

You have "Worked out your Salvation, in awe and wonder".

A.) You've worked it out........you've UNDERSTOOD IT Perfectly., and NOW God can give you more and more LIGHT, that He wont supply until you have understood God's Grace perfectly.

And the funny thing is, you do not think I know these scriptures.
And another thing I know is that you have to take the scriptures as a whole.
When you cherry pick through the scriptures you come up with a belief that is non-sense.

There is "No Doubt" in my mind that you ARE "saved" Behold!
Yet from reading your "short-sighted-extremely narrow and judgemental views and comments to other posters in this thread?
I can honestly say the you are NOT as saved (or spiritually mature) as you profess yourself to be!
Which causes me to ask you this question Behold.
Just WHO are you trying to convince here by posting such "retorting condescension" " to posters and observations concerning your (how can I say?) admonishments?
It seems MORE likely you are trying to convince yourself!
Because your postings have not and ARE NOT convincing ANYONE!
INCLUDING myself!
To me? You sound more like what and how I've "pegged" the Baptist (mostly southern at this point in time)!
"If you DON'T BELIEVE the way/method/and action of how I/WE Interpret "Our Jesus?"
You're goin' to hell!
And this tells me how little you are cognizant of that "MANY members of the body of Christ" that the Paul of the NT also talks about.
Yet it "seems" your Paul doesn't?! Believing/professing you have NO NEED of them? GOD FORBID!!
And? In the same vein your following of Paul like he follows Christ?
Does NOT "supersede" Christ's teachings!
Being there are "mysteries" concerning the Kingdom and "inheritance" of, where "many are called." "Few are chosen" that you either "wish/hope" and strive to convince yourself (and however many you can bully) that there is NO NEED to seek out, rather believing that "Farther Along you'll know all about it." "Farther Along you'll understand why."
Which IMHO means that as so much "arrogance" is practiced in today's churchianity?
Relegates the term "saved" to being "held over" to the coming earth and heaven age.
So are you practicing more iniquity then you are "teaching?"
Inquiring minds wish to know!
And yes?
I suppose one could treat this "format" called internet as warring in the "heavenlies!"
Couldn't/Shouldn't one?

You do realize that James is not an apostle. He was the pastor of the Jerusalem church. His epistle should be titled a sermon of James.

Thats more than irrelevant that's nonsensical. James is the inerrant word of God. are you suggesting what James said can be ignored? I know it is ignored and we have a ton of posters on this board that prove it.

He is a pastor, get over it. Plus if you know Greek satire, James sermon is littered with it. James was a Hellenist to use Greek satire in his writings.

If memory is serving me well (not saying it is....lol) James and Jesus had the same mother. Which would make Joseph, James' father.
Right?
Which would make Jesus Christ of Nazareth and James "'half brothers."
Right?
As far as James being a pastor of or in, a, or the Church at Jerusalem?
Sounds "plausible" to me!

So you're saying we can ignore James. Nice. At least your honest about it I'll give you that

I would have to argue concerning James' "inerrancy!"
AND? With those who proudly profess in what is called the Bibles' inerrancy. As there are more then a few writings or records that were (how can I say) ignored(?) at best, or deliberately and willfully omitted and deleted, at worse, over the thousands of years.
Which, in my mind anyway, lends, or gives much credence to Jesus' statement/s to the pharasees that "traditions of man" have made VOID the Word of God!
Right?

You have "cut and paste" issues, that many people have on Forums, who dont understand verses, but you've been taught from a commentary or a website or from some forum heretic how to misunderstand them...and then you post them, in the wrong context.........believing you 'know the verses".
You dont.

Well first your have to prove all that. Next if Jesus was being honest and said he would send the spirit to lead the church in the truth then what was compiled has to be from the holy spirit. Now whether or not that agrees with our personal views or understanding is another matter all together. Right?

That poster is suggesting we can just ignore James.

James, it seems had quite some "insight" concerning "tactics" used by enemies of the Kingdom of God, as also did Enoch (which had/has even more insight/experience concerning the enemies tactics) with the Book of Enoch having been omitted from that which much, if not most of "churchianity" is based on these days.

You dont.

Again with the pomposity that your "understanding" is the definitive understanding of scripture. In order for anyone, besides yourself, to take you seriously you have to show that your "understanding" is the authoritative understanding. You haven't done it yet

So there we have it we can pick and choose what we dont like. Sounds like protestantism

I can provide proof. What I cannot do is make you accept nor understand it! You would have to consult with someone above my (how can I say) "pay grade." (God the Father. In the "name" of Jesus Christ of Nazareth)
By giving cause for reasonable doubt? That even the Holy Spirit will not always strive (remain) with man! (behold! the "mystery of the great apostasy" being revealed........yet? soon covered up by the enemies will on flesh)
As is recorded here:
Genesis 6:3 (KJV)
And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also IS flesh(meaning both flesh [separated] and spirit [vulnerable to being separated and/or infiltrated]: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Does this provide enough reasonable doubt that due to Gen. 6:3 at merely a 300 some odd years after Christ's ascension?
Well meaning (but flesh none the less) decided that not ALL the recorded records (excluding the Book of Enoch, as well as other books included in some Bibles, of which some, have since been included) be "consolidated" into a single (how can I say) collection (aka Canon)?

Having said that, and (I) fully believing that where "2 of more are gathered in My Name (Jesus Christ of Nazareth) that I will be with them!"
Now? Jesus didn't state "forcibly with, NOR in full agreement with, or in any agreement with in some cases!" (note Gen.-6:3)
