    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    Mat 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Mat 7:8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Mat 7:9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give...

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    Once again, your erroneous take on 1 John 2:27 contradicts those passages that say teachers were given to the Church. If your interpretation was correct there would be no need for teachers. That should be your first clue. Paul telling Timothy to study to show himself 'approved' should be your...

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    It's sad that one who claims to be one of the only people who can interpret Scripture does such a poor job of it. Cherry picking what seems to support your strange ideas while ignoring context is not serving you well. The every fact that your out-of-context 'interpretation' of 1 John 2:27 comes...

    All Things

    'All things' is always qualified by the context in which it's found. Philippians 4:13 is no exception. Php 4:10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Php 4:11 Not that I am...

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    You seem to have missed the point I was making and to what I was responding. 'Thankful' said, "If one needs to know what a verse in the written Word of God means, just ask Jesus. " Where in Scripture does Jesus ever promise to give personal commentary on a verse of Scripture? He doesn't...

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    Wrong! 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

    Gospel

    He also come back trying to pretend he was someone else. I pretty sure that's called deception. I thought this guy was supposed to be sinless?

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    Once again, the verb 'sin' in your proof text is in the present tense, (a present participle to be exact), and refers to habitual unrepentant sin. In other words, the writer speaks of a 'lifestyle.' In context, the sinning here refers to not isolated acts, but a state of apostasy. This passage...

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    Because what I've said here is: 1. Easily verified by consulting any basic Greek grammar textbook. Unlike English verbs, a Greek verb will express not only 'tense,' (past, present, future), it will also indicate 'aspect,' (type of action - continuous or completed). 'Aspect' doesn't translate...

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    I haven't changed the meaning of any word. I merely point out that not all translations are as clear as they could be. If you can't explain to me why my explanation of the Greek present tense is in error, then your charge is nothing more than an unsubstantiated assertion which simply is not...

    Creation Of Earth

    Well two heads are better than one I hear. :D

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    Even though some English translations are unintentionally ambiguous on this translational matter, the Greek text is extremely clear my friend. Are you going to address what I said about the Greek present tense contained in the verses in question or just ignore it and continue to insist on your...

    Creation Of Earth

    This really isn't a problem when we remember that light was created on the first day. We're also told that God separated the light from the darkness, calling the light 'day' and the darkness 'night.' on the first day as well. Although the sun, moon and the stars were made the normative light...

    Understanding The Trinity ???

    There is some very strange teaching on the video. :blink:

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    [/size][/font][/b]Verse 10 does indeed say that if we deny that we have ever sinned we make God a liar. You need to see that this is irrelevant to the OP and the point I was making. Why are you ignoring verse 8 and my explanation of the Greek present tense which clearly says that if we claim to...

    Gospel

    I truly thought that I had heard it all. That's quite a blasphemous statement. You certainly are deceived and a deceiver. You haven't spoken the word of God since you got here.

    Gospel

    1Co 15:1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 1Co 15:2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. 1Co 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance...

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    Hi Aspen, Sinless perfection is an impossibility in this life. The Apostle John says: 1Jn 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all...
