Yes, I think there is a danger of folks thinking they are perfect and everyone else is pond scum. This is not how things should be. We should first judge ourselves so we will not be judged. If any man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. So I believe a...

The error of the other side of those who fight against “Sinless Perfection” (Which sounds like a defense for sin because they weaponize Scripture verses like 1 John 1:8, Romans 7:14-24 as excuses that they are slaves to sin this side of Heaven) is that they don’t realize that many of us...

This again is the same wrong approach that you are taking with 1 John 1:8 in the fact that you are ripping the verse out of it’s context (i.e. the surrounding words). The verse is not teaching there is some kind of sins that we cannot possibly ever know. The sins would be the breaking of God’s...

This is insanity. To confess sin with no real change or reform from sin makes one’s confession as being nothing. In the parable of the unforgiving servant, we learn that lip service in seeking forgiveness without any real reform or change is meaningless (See: Matthew 18:21-35). It would be...

It’s a form of writing or speech called the “Historical Present.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_present According to the article: It says, “The New Testament, written in Koine Greek in the 1st century CE, is notable for use of the historical present, particularly in the Gospel of...

@Johann In regards to your sin and still be saved interpretation on 1 John 1:8: Well, first off, the context (i.e. The surrounding words in the chapter and following chapters) mentions nothing about how we are enslaved to sin. The context actually talks about the exact opposite and it gives...

Bravo, my friend. Great verse! He can keep us from falling just as His Word says. Here is another one. As a part of making our calling and election sure, we are to do the following things (in the list below), which will ensure that we will never stumble or fall; and an entrance will be...

No. Your taking 1 John 1:8 out of context (of which I will explain in my next post to you). Those who preach against being perfect are making God a liar because they speak against scores of Scripture verses that talk about how we can be perfect (By His Word). Jesus says, “The disciple is not...

Jesus said to “sin no more” to two people (John 5:14) (John 8:11). 1 Peter 4:1-2 basically says that the person who suffers in the flesh can cease from sin, and that we should live the rest of our time to the will of God and not to the will of the flesh. Galatians 5:24 says that they that are...

One has to first be born again spiritually to be able to see what God’s Word says. There are going to be Biblical liberals, and Ecumenists in these last days. Many also don’t appear to know how to properly research anything on the internet (And instead just blindly follow whatever false...

Phil. It’s best we move on from any discussion here. No offense, but you don’t seem to grasp what I have been saying to you so as to give a proper reply back, and you keep going on about things that I never said. May God bless you (even if we disagree)(.

I believe this gift is Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world, that He GAVE His only begotten Son. Jesus not only saves us by His grace by faith (Titus 3:3-5), but He also saves us by the Sanctification Process (to live a holy life), as well (Ephesians 5:25-27) (Philippians 2:13) (John 15:5).

I asked: “Where did I speak of God's infinite nature?” And this was your response. Do you have a verse or passage from a specific post # I made? If not, then that is simply your claim (Without any evidence or without my realizing I was specifically referring to His infinite nature). I asked...

Where did I speak of God's infinite nature? Why would you falsely assume I don't believe God is eternal or infinite?

Yes, we cannot start off entering the Kingdom based on doing good things like by obeying the Laws of Moses (Which is what Paul was talking about). Christians are not even under the Laws that came through Moses. Yes. We must first be saved by God’s grace through faith or a belief alone (which...

You have the wrong idea. Holiness is something that has to be perfected in this life (See 2 Corinthians 7:1). We are to cleanse ourselves from ALL filthiness of the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of God (2 Corinthians 7:1). So the outcome or goal is to overcome in cleansing...

@mailmandan My apologies for suggesting that you created your avatar with the intentions to promote a sinful TV-show. I do realize that your initial intent may have in fact been to just show that you are a mailman or how you used to be one. But I am concerned that you are keeping the avatar...

Believers generally do not go from zero to hero overnight; So the ”Slave to Sin Type Christians” have the wrong idea of Sinless Perfection in that the Christian must be living perfect right now or they are condemned (Rather than being on the road to making that happen at some point in this...

If you were to read again the beginning of Romans 7, the context or framework is the Old Law. #1. “…brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,)” (Romans 7:1). #2. “we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.” (Romans 7:6). Therefore, the struggle Paul is...

The thread title is a heresy. No man can serve two masters. For he will hate the one and love the other. So you will either serve God or you will serve sin. There is no middle road or lukewarm approach here where you can serve both. For you will end up either hating the one and loving the...
