1 John 1:9-10 says to confess your sins, and if you say that you have no sin then God's word is not in you. You ignore that. You're an easy believist who is under easy believism.
1 John 3:8
He that committeth sin is of the devil
Are you saying you are still sinning and you are of the devil???
No, 1 John 1:9-10 is speaking of those claiming to have no sin on their record as in claiming they have never sinned.
1 John 1:8-10
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Otherwise 1 John 1:9 becomes a lie - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
Are you actually claiming following 1 John 1:9 does NOT cause one' to be cleansed of all unrighteousness???
Did you not see these scriptures below telling Christians to sin not?
