Do people really believe they lose and regain their salvation throughout the day like turning a light switch on and off? I don't. And I'm one of those people who are not in sympathy with eternal security.But what about those who think they can improve their standing with God if they can better control their behavior? Their thoughts?
Those who believe that if they commit sin that this breaks fellowship with God, until such time as they "make it right"?
Much love!
Whoever commits sin is guilty of sin regardless of their perceived standing with God. Full and complete reconciliation notwithstanding.We are freed from the power of sin and the flesh through the death of Christ. No one who is born again need sin ever again any more, and no one who is born again will ever be guilty of sin. But this will work out in our lives according to our faith, our trust that these things are true.
Be it to you according to your faith. Trust in Jesus, that He has made a full and completely reconciliation to restore us back to God.
Much love!
When I say guilty, what I mean is judicially guilty, so that they will be subject to the punishment for sin, that being eternal separation from God.Do people really believe they lose and regain their salvation throughout the day like turning a light switch on and off?

I know people who do. And I know people who realize that's not happening, but they still act and feel as if it were, as if they have the head knowledge, but it hasn't penentrated into the heart.Do people really believe they lose and regain their salvation throughout the day like turning a light switch on and off?
This is the same as "Repent and be converted that your sins may be blotted out".Go, And Sin No More
What other kind of guilt is there?When I say guilty, what I mean is judicially guilty, so that they will be subject to the punishment for sin, that being eternal separation from God.

I wouldn't say so. Your quote encompasses more than "Go, and sin no more." Simple grammar demonstrates that.This is the same as "Repent and be converted that your sins may be blotted out".
Responsibility. If I commit sin - any sin, I don't care what it is, I don't have to, therefore I can choose, therefore if I don't choose to not sin, that's on me. I'm responsible.What other kind of guilt is there?
Sorry, but I'm confused why you asked if those words have creative power.None. Matter or material construction is not necessary. Otherwise, we are in trouble. We need supernatural reconstruction.
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)
I really equate this to Jesus, and Peter on the Sea of Galilee.“Go, and sin no more.” (John 8:11)
Sorry, but I'm confused why you asked if those words have creative power.
Grammar is an excuse when spiritual matters are being discussed. "Go and sin no more" was a command to "Repent and be converted". If that is not clear enough, then nothing is clear.I wouldn't say so. Your quote encompasses more than "Go, and sin no more." Simple grammar demonstrates that.
I see these two statements as being completely different. God KNEW that His Messiah would come from the bloodline of Abraham. God also knew that the gentiles would become "children of Abraham" by faith in Jesus Christ (Gal 3:7). So, long before the Messiah came forth, God changed the name of the fatherless man Abram to Abraham, meaning the "Father of Many Nations." God "called those things which be not as though they were." The name Abraham represented a promise concerning future events.Romans 4:17
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Much love!
Not according to the Bible.As a child of God, we are free to live righteousness, and if we don't we will suffer the loss, but not the loss of our reconcilition to God.
You're stuck on the word "creative" I guess. "Does the Word of God accomplish what it says or not?" is the question.Sorry, but I'm confused why you asked if those words have creative power.
What does "that your sins may be blotted out" have to do with the command: "Go, and sin no more?" I'm not making excuses for anything. If it's not clear to you that one sentence is longer than the other and has more meaning, then there's nothing more to be said about the matter. You're just being argumentative.Grammar is an excuse when spiritual matters are being discussed. "Go and sin no more" was a command to "Repent and be converted". If that is not clear enough, then nothing is clear.
And a good question it is!!"Does the Word of God accomplish what it says or not?" is the question.
That's because the word creative has to do with creating. So, creative power is the power to create, right?You're stuck on the word "creative" I guess. "Does the Word of God accomplish what it says or not?" is the question.
