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

    @michaelvpardo Unless you explain the verses I put forth to you, then there is no point in my continuing to have this discourse with you. If that is the case, I will move on from talking to you directly and only address any unbiblical things you may say in an indirect way (like speaking to an...

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

    Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Faith does not come by hearing what you say or what other Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationists say.

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

    The contradiction only exists in your own mind. You are not really explaining the verses I put forth to you which shows the weakness of your belief. All I can do is encourage you to go back and look at the verses I put forth to you. If not your claims here are only hollow and empty and they...

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

    We are to earnestly contend for the faith, and we are to be good Bereans. If you cannot support your views by Scripture then it simply is not biblical. I have already established my belief as biblical with you, and like many over the years I have talked with, they simply don’t have the ability...

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

    I already brought up this parable with you already. The point of this parable is that the Pharisee was not doing what the Tax Collector did (Which is cry out to God and have a moment of being saved by God’s grace). The false Pharisee religion made it all about Works ALONE Salvation with little...

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

    According to God, Paul was not supposed to persecute His people. So no. He was not blameless in the keeping of even the Old Law seeing that he did not love his true brethren (he did not know were his real brethren). You cannot be blameless and kill your brothers.

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

    All sounds great, but you need Scriptural proof to back up that the specific teachings of Jesus Christ at the sermon on the Mount do not apply to us today. You need to show that with God’s Word. Right now… it’s just you talking. That’s not proof of anything. Yes, the Old Law was fulfilled...

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

    To all: For those who may be confused on Philippians 3:6: Paul was not blameless in the Old Law because he was having Christians persecuted and killed. Philippians 3:6 “Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.” Paul says he was...

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    This stuff is just plainly sick. Stop promoting the sin of tattoos. Follow Jesus or follow your own ways. That is the choice we are given in this life.

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

    Well, first, you did not even get a chance to look at the verses I put forth to you (to see if they have any merit). Second, Jesus’ point in Matthew 19:25-26 was not man’s inability to be able to obey but the conclusion of that chapter was in how they do need to obey God as a part of...

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

    Well, seeing you are not really looking at the verses I put forth to you (that demolishes your belief), and you are just hitting the reply button super fast, I can see that you are not out to have a back and forth discussion with hearing what the Bible actually says. So until you explain the...

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

    I am not in disagreement that the 613 Laws of Moses was fulfilled at the cross. But Jesus teachings at the Sermon on the Mount was not entirely from these laws. If you believe otherwise, then the burden of proof is on you to show us how the New teachings by Jesus are all entirely Old covenant...

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

    While we are initially and ultimately saved by God's grace through faith in Christ, the Bible also teaches that after we are saved by God’s grace, that works of faith also play a part in the salvation process (In the Sanctification Process by the Spirit). For both Jesus and Paul taught and or...

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

    Jesus clearly was making changes to the Law (even before the cross): (Which means He was not teaching primarily Old Covenant, but New Covenant): The Old Way says: "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth" (Matthew 5:38 cf. Exodus 21:23-25). The New Way...

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

    There is no Jew or Gentile in Christ. Jesus did not tell His disciples to not follow what He commanded in the great commission when going out unto other nations. In fact, the disciples did not understand what Jesus meant in the great commission by going out unto all nations until Cornelius...

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

    Your still not getting it, my friend. Paul was blameless in the false Pharisee religion that distorted or altered God’s Word to fit their own man made traditions and wrong beliefs. The false Pharisee religion made it all about Works ALONE Salvationism with very little to no grace or mercy from...

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

    Romans 3:10, and Romans 3:23 are making a point that leads up to how we all need to be Initially saved by God’s grace, and it is not referring to the secondary aspect of salvation mentioned by the apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:13. For if you read Romans 3:10, and Romans 3:23 as applying to...

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

    Perhaps you simply misunderstood me. If you believe I have falsely accused you, then you should make your case as to what you think I said that was a false accusation against you. If you believe I said something false against you, I would like to try and resolve the matter because my soul is...

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

    Again, we are not in disagreement that the Jews pretended to be righteous. You said that the Jews lived outwardly righteous when that is not the case. According to Jesus they did not live righteously even in their outward behavior. In addition, we are also in disagreement on whether Jesus was...

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

    I believe Jesus just fine. But your still not getting it. If Jesus said they ignored the weightier matters of the Law like love, faith, justice, and mercy in Luke 11:42, Matthew 23:23, then this would be in their actions. If Jesus said they are hypocrites that would be in their outward...
