She didn't say that she had quoted you.Point your finger at the person that didn't quote me, and said that she did.
If you are a real Christian, im sure you'll understand why.
If not, then , this is nothing new.
Slow down.See what I mean now? Are you really on the same page as him and his ill-thought-out reasoning?
A follow-up question . . . if you, a Christian, commit murder, have you broken the Law of God? And if so, which Law?See what I mean now? Are you really on the same page as him and his ill-thought-out reasoning?
That's the usual analogy!Wow! This place is like the Wild West compared to CF.com!
1Jo 1:8 ¶ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in usI'm not a liar because I don't sin.
Not just in God's view, though, actually dead.This part of you is "DEAD", in God's View.
That is actually talking about indwelling sin, not the practicing or committing of sins.1Jo 1:8 ¶ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us
Don't sin? Or don't sin certain sins?I'm not a liar because I don't sin.
However . . . I've asked @CharismaticLady if it is possible, and let's see her answer.
Don't sin? Or don't sin certain sins?
Oh I understand your post perfectly, .... (smile), and I have answered you over and over, but it must be going over your head. but if you don't understand the difference between Sin and iniquity and the role your consciousness play in your decision to obey it or not ... well I cannot help you.You still didn't give a straight answer to my questions. But it did prove one thing; you don't read nor understand my posts so don't reply; let's just stop right here.

If you carefully examine these two statements, you've asked if "a Spirit-filled Christian commits murder or adultery are they sinning?" Paul's answer is that it is "no longer" (pay attention to those words, no longer, meaning, what comes next is the new "now") it is no longer me that sins, but the sin that lives in me.I asked if a Spirit-filled Christian commits murder or adultery are they sinning? And Behold said "No!"
Are you really as naive as he is? If you believe sin is no longer sin in a Christian, then you don't believe what I thought you did.

If you believe that John is speaking of a Christian out of context, who has been cleansed OF ALL SIN (the next verse), then you haven't read much. Read 1 John 3 and then tell me if a child of God is a sinner.
(1Jn 1:6-10) proves you wrong.
1Jo 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 ¶ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Walking in darkness and lying is sin we do. (1Jn 3:4).
Straw man much? I say what I mean, and mean what I say. I'm not trying to impress anyone. I don't see anything innuendo-like, but if you want Pauline quotes, I got Pauline quotes.And your innuendo that is not related to quotes, is supposed to prove you have a clue, or any understanding of the New Testament?
"Jude" ..
Every read this Epistle?
It says to "contend earnestly for the faith".
If you carefully examine these two statements, you've asked if "a Spirit-filled Christian commits murder or adultery are they sinning?"

Meaning is was me that sinned, but now it's not. So according to the Bible, the answer to the first question, are they sinning? No. Rather it is the sin that lives in them. But not them themself.
To the second statement . . . did anyone actually say sin was no longer sin? I didn't see that, but maybe I missed it.
Much love!
