I believe the issue is more serious. If one believes 1 John 1:8 in that it means we must declare we will sin again this side of Heaven, and if one believes they are saved by a belief alone in Jesus and their salvation is never in jeopardy by sin (When that runs contrary to the words of Jesus in...

My reply was a little imperfect at first. I just re-edited my post on righteousness and holiness to convey my thoughts more correctly or clearly on that matter. In either case, I think if you believe there is truth to your study on righteousness and holiness, I think you should share your...

This interpretation on 1 John 1:8 does not work because John tells the brethren to “sin not” (1 John 2:1) which is not possible with your interpretation. It also does not align with 1 John 2:3-4. For we can have an assurance that we know the Lord if we find if we are keeping His commandments...

I just requoted her own words. If she did not believe those words, then she would have have never said them. So I respectfully disagree with your defense on what she said. Jesus warned about how certain sins can destroy our souls in Matthew 5:22, Matthew 5:28-30, Matthew 6:15, Matthew 12:37...

What is helpful in understanding 1 John 1:8 is looking at its immediate context. 1 John 1:10 says if we say we have not sinned. 1 John 1:10 switches gears from 1 John 1:8 in regards to time; John talks about the declaration on committing sin in verse 8 (which is present tense) to a declaration...

I did retract my personal remark to StunnedbyGrace. I do strive to not make it about the person but more about the wrong belief, but it can be difficult sometimes. I don’t believe I insulted dhh712. I merely disagreed with their belief and found it to be immoral and unbiblical. I asked...

So why did Jesus give the disciples the great commission to keep all that He commanded?

It’s more difficult to quote a post # now with this new update on the forum. Hence, why I quoted it In the way I did. But it’s post #292.

Proof? I highlighted her own words here in her post.

Jesus said to “sin no more” to two people (John 5:14) (John 8:11). Are you saying that our LORD is in error?

@dhh712 You said, I quote: “...we can sin all we want.” Quote by dhh712. This is false! Be not deceived. Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? 9 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators...

@dhh712 To check out the verses on Sinless Perfection, see my write up here: https://www.christianforums.com/threads/what-does-scripture-mean-about-perfection.8019199/ Actually, I am very familiar with the Romans 8:35-39 excuse. I have been familiar with the use of this passage in the...

@dhh712 I am wondering if you ever truly read and understood Ephesians 5:25-27 before. Let's read it. 25 “...even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a...

@dhh712 It's always good to ponder God's Word. Psalms 119:15 says: “I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways.” I can only imagine you read verses like Colossians 1:21-22 and conclude the wrong thing. Colossians 1:21-23 says: 21 “And you, that were sometime alienated...

In my 10 plus years in discussing these kinds of topics, I discovered that many try to make it personal when they cannot answer verses put forth to them or they explain away simple passages (When they don’t agree with them). I am not cross examining your life with God and making it personal (of...

So you don’t believe the Spirit being the downpayment of our inheritance relates to our salvation?

Jesus said to look upon a woman in lust means they are in danger of hellfire. So if they are doing such a thing on rare occasion and thinking they are saved because they cannot lose their salvation, then they are turning God’s grace into a license for immorality. Remember, it only took one sin...

The King James Bible says “commit sin” for 1 John 3:9. This was the Bible that existed for hundreds of years long before the modern translations showed up. Then again many do not believe in a perfect inerrant Word of God today.

What is your view of 1 John 1:8? As for trusting God: To obey God is trusting Him. To believe His Word (like his many warnings to His people) is trusting what He says. Most are too overconfident at the expense of God’s Word. Look at the churches in Revelation. Most of them were not doing...

I find Luther’s quote I gave as being exceptionally wrong. Do you agree?
