If you know you are sinning, why do it? That is willful sin and it "trampling on the blood of Jesus and insulting the Spirit of Grace." There are two types of sins. Willful and unintentional. If you commit an unintentional sin (immature fruit of the Spirit) but are walking in the Spirit, those...

Well, look at verse 9. If we are cleansed of all unrighteousness, why is it wrong to agree and say you don't sin? I told you this was a tricky one. LOL

You get a gold star. Here is a more tricky one. In what condition is the type of person in 1 John 1:8?

Can you answer my question #334 about 1 John 1:6 or not? Is that person saved, or not? You said all the verses are about and to Christians.

Not at all. Let me ask you a serious question. Is the person in 1 John 1:6 saved?

This is a mistake that westerners make when reading what the EASTERN apostles wrote. The apostles always wrote to everyone when a general letter to the whole congregation, not just Christians as the books are not just for Christians, but, to the Gnostic believers in their congregations that need...

Do you believe obedience to your conscience where His laws are written is a work? Going against your conscience is from our will, and those sins are willfully committed against your new nature (if born again of the Spirit). This is why 1 John 5:18 tells us to "keep ourselves." Is keeping...

Thank you for your kind words. The only thing I found out from a friend of a friend of her husband, was that "everything's fine, just busy." Well, that woman is always busy at 86, and her husband is 16 years younger than her. (I've always called him her "boy toy.") In reality, he married the...

My first line had three sentences, not just the first one. In the third one I did to give you my meaning of grace. So I don't need your definition, which is wrong by the way. Let me put it more simply than I did the first time for you. Grace, itself, is not Unmerited Favor. That is merely how...

No. You are quoting from a modern Bible that has the condition missing. The first part is true ONLY if the condition is met. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Hmmm! Brother, that is not the meaning of grace. I really thought you knew that. Ask yourself, "what is the gospel" seeing it is grace. It is the power of God. I don't believe "every sin is willfull." The Bible doesn't teach that. It teaches that some are unintentional. But, I've heard many...

I know a man that uses the word "command" and it works!

I've heard these objections before, but these are definitely Christians that false teachers have gotten their claws into with the Reformationist lie that "sin is sin" and all sin is equal whether willful or unintentional. 26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the...

I may not be a denominationalist, but I still go to church; in fact, a few. But I also make appointments with pastors to discuss their doctrines and have made friends with quite a few pastors and missionaries. I was also going to church on both days of the weekend, until the SDA church I went to...

Yes, I've changed my view, even though I don't remember saying that to you. But, I may have meant that the younger we are in the Lord, the more immature fruit we have. After almost 50 years now, I should be pretty mature in more fruit than at first. Also, it is the Lord that brings the...

Yes, I already thought of that, and have written to her twice with no response. When I was a little girl, between 5-7 my mother said to me, "why do you go over to your friends houses everyday? They don't like you. They never call you do they? Even though Proverbs 26:2 says a curse without cause...

Well, we can go by 'all scripture' and one thing we know, it is not talking about a nonChristian as some teach, for we can always pray for them to come to Jesus in the first place. But for John to tell us NOT to pray for someone who commits it, it is serious enough to find out what it is and not...

I've heard some pastors on the radio ("To Every Man An Answer"/Calvary Chapel pastors) say they don't believe in unintentional trespasses, that all sin is willful. But I include those verses that challenge those beliefs in my personal doctrines. Also, I've never heard them ever talk about "sins...

Still?????:eek:

Don't you think there is a difference in character between being angry with a brother from righteous indignation, than, say, jealousy? I do. The first is not a sin at all, where the second is very immature indeed. Jesus builds our character where we can be truly happy for your brother and his...
