    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    While I attended different churches, I was never a part of any official church (or found a church home). Most of everything I learned was from my personal study and asking God for His Spirit to give me the understanding on His Word. I don’t like to think I am infallible to learning God’s Word...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6That no...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    1 Peter 1:15-16 15but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Romans 6:19 - I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh : for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness andto iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. Righteousness is unto holiness.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I. Fall Away List of Verses: If we are never in jeopardy when we sin, then the Bible would not teach that we can fall away from the faith; But it does teach that we can fall away. Here are several lists of verses that makes it absolutely clear that believers can fall away from the faith...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    It says they lied unto God. Also, you quote the Word that a righteous man falls several timed and gets back up. This is true but is this not talking about the saints who endured to the end? Surely it does not mean a Christian cannot at one point in time live righteously and then later fail due...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Think. How many Christians today are preaching STRIVE TO ENTER THE STRAIGHT GATE in Luke 13:24? How many Christians are being taught that they must fight the good fight of faith and laying hold on eternal life? (See: 1 Timothy 6:12).

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Don’t be deceived. The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. The Bible says, he that does righteousness is righteous. The Bible also says, he that commits sin is of the devil. BELIEVE. BELIEVE… God’s Word.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    To all: Ananias and Sapphira are a great example of how sin can destroy our souls in the faith. When they lied to the Spirit, they each died. When that happened a great fear came upon the whole church. Why would the church be in fear If they were saved? Why would the church fear if they were...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I am saying THEY who justify smaller amounts of sin (thinking they can sin and still be saved) are not in a purification process. For example: Many Christians today don’t believe suicide is a sin (Which runs contrary to Scripture). It’s an individual sin in their view and it’s not practing sin...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I am not against the idea that believers can struggle with sin on occasion. But a true believer will confess and forsake sin and they will battle against it and realize that such a sin can destroy their souls. What I am against is the false belief that says we MUST always sin this side of...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    So a believer can justify occasional sin (not habitual sin) via by misinterpreting 1 John 1:8, and Romans 7:14-24? A believer can think they don’t jeopardize their salvation when they sin as Jesus taught in Matthew 5:28-30, Matthew 6:15, Matthew 12:37? How can such ones be in a purification...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    We need to put the Word of God on the inside of us to overcome sin in this life. King David basically said he hid God’s Word in his heart so that he may not sin against God (Psalms 119:11). If we are not continually renewing our minds with the truth of God’s Word and believing what it says...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Well said. Christians can overcome sin in this life (Galatians 5:24), and they should be in a purification process in meeting that goal (2 Corinthians 7:1). Most Christians today don’t agree with this. They mix in the idea that they must always sin (on occasion) as per a wrong interpretation...

    The One Baptism

    The one baptism in Ephesians 4:5 is water baptism and not Spirit baptism. Why? Well, it cannot be Spirit baptism because there are several different spiritual baptisms done by God that are salvific. Baptisms God does upon us after we have received God’s grace through faith: (According to His...

    Street preaching

    Street preaching is good and biblical. But I came to the LORD Jesus via by a comicbook tract. I believe there are many ways we can reach others with the Word of God. Nicodemus was just having a personal conversation with Jesus. I believe a person should try to reach others for Jesus in any...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    But taking this kind of wrong interpretation contradicts many other verses like Galatians 5:24, Romans 13:14, 2 Corinthians 7:1, and 1 Peter 4:1-2. It’s the same with those who try to make 1 John 1:i8 a banner flag that they must always sin this side of Heaven. It just doesn’t work when you...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    #7. Here is the final nail in the coffin for this argument. Romans 8:3-4 says, 3 "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    #4. Paul says, "But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful." (Romans 7:13). Okay. Let's break this down. Paul says, "But sin, that it MIGHT APPEAR SIN, works death in me." (Romans 7:13). Now, how can...
