There. This is something many people seem to not understand. Just how holy God is!You can't be ONE WITH GOD and have sin.
I so love reading this stuff!A believer can commit a carnal deed, but this is not charged to you as a sin, so, read Romans 4:8, and stop calling God a liar.
Read Colossians 2:13, and stop calling Paul a liar.
I still don't think you understand what I believe.
A fit of rage?? I don't think so.He can say whatever he likes, I will still preach the truth calmly. And I fear for @marks because he says he and @Behold are on the same page. But I see a huge difference in the two men's beliefs. At least marks doesn't believe that murder is no longer a sin because we are not under the law. But that is what Behold is preaching, saying that is what Paul says in Romans 4. Does no one have any righteous indignation against these false teachings? I do, and yet you say it is contention. Are you going to say that of Jesus when He turned over the money-changers tables in a fit of rage?
Here's something . . .Yes, WOH, I do understand this but, I was asking this in reply to: Behold's:
"1.) The sin of dying UNFORGIVEN....= The Unpardonable Sin = Christ Rejector." <--- And, what would a Christ "Rejector" look like?
I was basically asking : so if the unpardonable sin (blaspheming the Holy Spirit) is the ONLY unpardonable sin (which, it is) then, all that you have listed above would be included in being a "Christ - rejector" hence, all of the sins would then be unpardonable...
...EDIT- And we know this is not true!
If there is no law, there is no sin, though the actions are the same. It is the craziest false doctrine I've ever heard. And the most dangerous.
I think this is very well written!I think that "sin" is more about being out of sync with God rather than a list of no-nos. The Ten Commandments and remainder of the Law spell out general no-nos, but sometimes they are more subtle.
One that comes to mind is family finances. Say that you buy an item that isn't particularly a sin to own (like a color TV). If you would have surrendered your finances to the Holy Spirit, He might have told you not to buy it (at that time). Not because it was bad or wrong to have, but because He would rather you reserve those funds for something more important down the road. The "sin" would be in disregarding the counsel of the Holy Spirit, not in owning a color TV (which He might even bless at a different time). It does not lead to death (as defined by the Bible), but could still negatively impact one's finances (like creating unnecessary debt). Other types of these sins might affect one's physical health, employment prospects, etc. (And these aren't judgments so much as they are consequences.)
This idea applies to long-term, persistent errors, not occasional one-offs. None of this threatens one's Salvation (if saved) in any way.
We are saved the moment that we believe in/have faith in/trust in/reliance in Jesus Christ for salvation. (John 3:15,16,18; Acts 10:43; 13:39; 16:31; Romans 1:16; 3:24-28; 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9 etc..). We show our faith by our works (James 2:18) and obedience (including keeping the commandments) which "follows" believing unto salvation is "works" and we are not saved by works. (Ephesians 2:8,9)
1 John 3:23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 24 Now he who "keeps" (Greek word "tereo" - guards, observes, watches over) His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
1 John 3:10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
Romans 4
14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

For where not is law, neither transgression.
If there is no law to be violated, you cannot violate law.
Much love!
What is the argument about here?You must read Romans 4 in context to the 8 chapters it is in. You will see the answer in the last chapter. Romans 8:1-9. Chapter 4 and 5 are merely build-ups to the conclusion. We are no longer under the law that had to be kept with a sinful nature. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ, has freed me from the Law of sin and death. You see it is not that we are lawless, just that the new Spirit-filled nature given us lets us keep the righteous requirements of the eternal laws of God according to our new divine nature, instead of against our carnal nature as with the old nature.
Like a cool drink of water to the thirsty soul!!!
Much love!

There. This is something many people seem to not understand. Just how holy God is!
A sinner united with God? I think not!
Much love!
I still don't think you understand what I believe.
But even so . . .
How happy is the man to whom the Lord Will Not Impute Sin.
Who is that man?
Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
According to this, we die because we sin. The body of flesh is corrupt.
Much love!
Indeed, so....ALL THE BORN AGAIN..
Thank you JESUS.. !!
If you are of the view that your future sins are not forgiven yet, then how can they EVER be?
Yet still living in our own bodies in this world.Ephesians 5:30
For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
The reason is to be made a child of God.Don't you know the REASON for being born again and filled with the Spirit of Christ???
It is so there won't be any FUTURE sins to be forgiven.
