There are three different Greek words that are Translated “ repentance” in the Bible ....The Only one Pertinent to Salvation Is the one that means “Turn to God” as a Lost Sinner

REALLY??Well it is growing trend to want to be Christian but not believe the Bible defines Christianity or that morals are part of Christianity.
REALLY??
Nope.... I don't remember reading it... Where is it ?Yeap, I think you read my write up on a forming Christian denomination without morals....ie...knowing what is wrong but choosing to disregard and thinking they are on the train to heaven.
Nope.... I don't remember reading it... Where is it ?
Ok... I remember reading your words... but I did not press on the links...There ya go....
...as long as we walk around in these weak bodies of flesh,,where we “ Stumble” , fall victim to “ the Sin That so easily besets us” and can find ourselves “ caught up” in Sin—- even the most mature Believers...
No one is arguing against repentance... they are stating it is not a condition of salvation.
and I HATE BULLIES...
I don't do arrogance very well... actually I don't do it at all.... and so there are some here that I won't even bother communicating with.
Repentance is great....Turning ( and mostly failing) from Sin is great....
It only becomes a work when poorly taught , Confused people say that you MUST do it to GET Saved or to STAY Saved...
I know how a Sinner gets Saved! He asks ......
Salvation is not about being perfect, and Mercy and Grace is not about living a sinful lifestyle. The truth is in the
We have to pass a test of Paul's before we are assured salvation?It all depends on whether or not he Passed Paul’s Test......Pro or Con about Abortions is not on the Test...
The doctrine of the inevitability of sin is a false doctrine and heresy.
Hey there!Hi Grailhunter,
And yet we are called to the perfection that is the fullness of Christ.
If we allow His Grace to work in us, He will bring us to that perfection...
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy Easter brother!
Christ is risen!
Alleluia!
If you could live a life without sin, you would not need Christ.
All have sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God.
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If you say the Grace of Christ continually washes you of sin....then you have to find that scripture.
Of course I need Christ to be able to live a life without sin. I cannot be sin-free unless I abide in Him (1 John 3:6).
All have sinned and "come short" of the glory of God.
The words in quotes are in the present passive indicative...and they indicate that it is the person who is not active in pursuing Christ is presently coming short of the glory of God.
But if you are pursuing Christ, the present active indicative would make the following true of you.
1Th 5:23, And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Th 5:24, Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
Heb 10:14, For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
1Jo 3:9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
the last of those verses may in fact be hypoerbole; but if it is, it is John exaggerating to make a point.
What point?
That those who are born again have made a 180-degree turn away from sin, death, hell, and satan, towards righteousness, life, heaven, and God. So, they are walking in a new direction; so that the following is true of them.
Pro 4:18, But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Notice it does not say, "If we say that we do no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
Read 1 John 1:8 again.
It is speaking of indwelling sin.
The element of sin within us can be rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any say over our behaviour (Romans 6:14).
Thus, it should be clear that 1 John 3:5-9 is speaking of practical behaviour.
Easy...1 John 1:7. the Greek word there, for "cleanseth" is in the aorist present perfect indicative;
And therefore it can be translated as "continually cleanseth".
And it is the blood of Christ that cleanseth us from all sin.
I have given scripture to back up every statement.Not a chance.
I have given scripture to back up every statement.
And therefore your denial of what I am saying is a denial of the teaching of holy scripture.
You are going to have to come up with more than a flat denial of what I am saying if you are going to win this argument.
But back to Sunday School they preach that the earth is only 6,000 years old, evolution is a lie, the existence of Cavemen is lie,
I gave you the scriptures. You have the Old Testament, you have the New Testament...you have the reason for the New Testament and you common sense.
Don't get me wrong...I would think that you are great guy....but not sinless.
And of course I don't think I'm sinless (1 John 1:8). Perfect, maybe (Hebrews 10:14)...
The element of sin dwelling within us can be rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any say over our behaviour (Romans 6:14)...
