We were still sinners, meaning later we wouldn't be. But that does not mean after we die, but now. Revelation 22:11 shows two sets of people. One group going to hell, and one group going to heaven. After death we will remain in the state we died in, either sinners or righteous. There is no...

You'll have to speak for yourself, not me. LOL

You know, I was just thinking about this passage earlier today and wondered if Jesus drank anything. I see that it was only food. Thanks for posting my answer. LOL

Well said. Jesus was sinless and perfect. But He made it so He would not be the only one to live such a life. He was the "firstborn among many." One thing I recently saw is that glorification is the process we go through as we become like Him. Notice sanctification is not mentioned. That is...

Hi Tong. We always need Jesus, and love Him more and more as the relationship grows stronger throughut our lives. It is called abiding in Him, and He in us. There is an accusation called sinless perfection. That is not what I teach. They are two different steps. When we come to Jesus and...

I agree. I remember that Mormons have this. I looked it up on google: Blood atonement is a disputed doctrine in the history of Mormonism, under which the atonement of Jesus does not redeem an eternal sin. To atone for an eternal sin, the sinner should be killed in a way that allows his blood to...

I don't know who thought that up, but I've heard pastors on the radio say the same thing. It isn't the Truth of the Gospel. The gospel is Jesus was manifest to take away our sin and in Him there is no sin. What that means is when Jesus makes us born again, He places His laws of Love inside us to...

Motive. Jesus forgave the centurions who crucified Him because they "knew not what they were doing." That is the key to whether it is a willful sin or not. Just like Philippians 3:16. They were to live up to what they knew. So if they were doing something unintentionally, the blood of Jesus...

But QTpie, that's Universalism. And we know that is not true.

We must either believe what the Bible teaches, or rely on human reasoning to discount what it says as I was surprised to see that you have done. 2 Peter 1:9 does not say past, present and future sins as is commonly, but unscripturally misrepresented. It says old sins. 9 For he who lacks these...

Good answer. I agree.

Matthew 6:14-15 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. But what about the other type of sins? What about wicked willful sins of lawlessness...

So is that by your willpower? I tried that and it didn't work.

Curtis, I must say I'm surprised at your answer. We are usually on the same page. Don't you know the power of being born again? We don't have to fight against the flesh, just acknowledge that it is dead (that is what Paul meant; otherwise he would be contradicting what he taught in Romans 6)...

You have the closest answer to what I believe.

I know and agree. I'm just curious what different people are taught.

Oh, I see. It's not like you don't know its there, it just that you CHOOSE not to act on it. And most of all don't dwell on it. Think about something else. That's what we mean by ignore.

Yes. God always supplies a way of escape. Resist the devil, and he will flee.

God hates sin and sent Jesus to take care of this problem. How were you taught you must do to overcome sin?

Huh?
