You are correct.

But I perceive that you are just being crafty with your question.

I believe you are seeking something out of my mouth that you might accuse with (Luke 11:54).

I perceive that your gospel is false because you believe you can never lose your salvation. So why would I answer a question regarding the gospel from one who has already shown himself to be in error regarding it?

You have already dismissed the true biblical salvation so I won’t be able to convince you otherwise anyway.
since you cannot define the gospel how could one possibly know if its true or false ?

so far its nothing but assumptions on your part.

Your concern is that we should all of us who think we are born again, think we know God, that we should doubt whether this is true or not, if we have ongoing issues with sin. Right?
Specifically, if you are purposely living in sin unchanged just like unbelievers do.

Romans 8:15-16
15) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Do you find this true in yourself?
I already answered that. Yes.

If you read the 1 John verses I've been posting you'll see this witness of the Spirit is seen in our behavior. It is not alone. If it is alone you are not born again. You just think you are. I suspect all fake believers really do think they are saved and have the witness of the Spirit. Jesus talks about their surprise on the day he comes back only to tell them he doesn't know them. Surely, they thought they were known by God and that they knew him. They will see that they didn't have the witness of the Spirit at all! But they should have known that already because the Bible tells us the person without the changed life that obeys God's commands is not saved. We got a whole lot of church folk relying on a feeling when the Bible says to look to your deeds to know for sure if you're really born again or not.

If you take a moment and open your Bible you will find it.

It’s very easy to comprehend.

1. Repent.
2. Believe.
3. Endure.
Now act as though I know nothing about the bible and present the following.

repent from what ?
believe what ?
endure what ?

Got Scripture ?

I tell you what:

Why don’t you be a good Christian and explain it to me.

Then I’ll compare what you say to the scripture (since you cannot be bothered to check the scriptures yourself).

There is not such thing as a license to be a sexual deviant. Sexual deviance is a corruption of the flesh, just like the tendency to lie, or to snap at someone with irritation. The tendency to worry, whatever, it's all the same flesh.

There's no such "license" to be damaged goods, sorry, but we all are, in one way or another.

And this brings up another problem with an obsession with sin and comparing ourselves to others. "I'm saintly in my own eyes" seems to me to be a foolish thing to say.

Is our mind fully conformed to Christ? Whatever is not - whatever it is - if from the flesh. And that is sin. Which is what Jesus saves us from. Just because one sin looks prettier than another doesn't change the corruption from which both come.

Whether we're talking a sexual perversion, or trusting in credit cards to provide for your needs, either is the work of the flesh, and is overcome by faith.

Much love!

No need to be sorry to me.
I'm not pushing the so called "license to sin". Rather challenging those who think there is such a ridiculous thing.

No that doesn't fly since I have asked you several times and you continue to avoid answering the question.

So then this doen't include the person who hasn't overcome all their sin yet, but hates the sin in their life. You aren't talking about that person?

Much love!

Because your question is as silly as asking someone what 2+2 is.

Anyone with a Bible in hand with reading comprehension can find out what the gospel is.

It’s only those with private interpretations of the gospel who seek to find out if others are on their “level”.

Not playing your game.

if that were true then there would be no warnings about a false gospel, a false christ, false gods, the spirit of truth vs the spirit of error, the spirit of God and the spirit of antichrist, true prophets and false prophets, distinguishing of the spirits, etc............

face it you are afraid to say what the gospel really is for fear it will expose you.

Show me that claim.

That claim...your "fact" you said people claim they have a license to sin?

Post #246
I was stating fact. Are you actually saying there aren't people out there that feel they can sin all they like and still get to heaven? If so, you need to get out more, I know several people that hold the license to sin view.

Thats not even a nice try. Again, show me where I claimed people claimed to have a license to sin. Show me the exact quote, or please stop wasting my time and yours both.

See? You already accused me of not being truthful, and some questions I had for you after that, you ignored them, but it appears you, in fact, are making false accusations about me, and in turn, not being truthful your own self. Not all that sincere of you.

1 John 4:16-17
16) And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17) Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

1 John 3:14-16
14) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15) Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16) Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

1 John 3:19-24
19) And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20) For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21) Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22) And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
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) And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Much love!
