You are reading the gospels as if Jesus had ALREADY DIED FOR US. Why do you think John the Baptist's message was necessary to make straight the path to Jesus? REPENTANCE!

What's to debate? Just read it from verse one. And the "I's" in the whole chapter is like the "me" in 8:2 which says it freed Paul from 7:14-25. It is only western mindsets that cannot understand eastern styles of writing. In light of that, what's funny is verse 9. "I was alive once without the...

Yes, I do the same and go to three, until I was kicked out of one of them and now go to two. The one I was kicked out of was my childhood denomination that I left when I was 23 (I'm 79). I did not debate or even share doctrine with them, but they just couldn't accept a miracle I had just...

You're asking if the Author and Finisher of my faith has completely perfected me yet? I don't know. All I know, like Paul, I go to bed with a clear conscience. Keeping that information from that evil man was the first in many years of affecting my conscience and I had to open up that wound and...

The forums is a dangerous place to be open, but as I am not used to sinning, this man with obvious evil in his heart was like Jesus said, “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were...

Explain your interpretation. I'd like to hear it. But use scripture.

Hey, qt I haven't a clue what you are meaning. Explain.

I don't know of any denomination today that are like the first century church and teaches their truths. 1 Cor. 3:15 is about teachers and writers of doctrines revealed to them by the Spirit in the early church like He did to Matthew, Paul, John and Peter. Most denominations have corrupt...

context! context! context! Do you not know that verse 17 is in the middle of what Paul shows as what mankind's life was like before Christ when for 1,500 years or so they lived under the law where their sacrifices could only cover sin, but not take it away? Romans 7:14-25 shows in verse 24...

"Cannot sin" means you have no desire to sin. John said in 1 John 3:4-5 that the type of sin that chapter 3 is about is "lawlessness" vs. 4, and vs. 5 says Jesus takes away that sin from our nature, thus the reason why vs. 9 says we cannot sin, because the commotion it would cause in our...

Scripture teaches that if we repent and are filled with the Spirit we cannot sin against a commandment of God. That is when Jesus has taken away our lawless sin out of our nature and we have no desire to break a commandment. 1 John 3. This particular cleansing is only done once for sins unto...

Scripture says we can. It is up to us. We must be born again of the Spirit AND keep abiding in Him. Peter says, 20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter...

The verse gives the commentary. 1. born again because he is walking in the Spirit/Light. 2. Jesus cleanses them of all sin. Is this where Martin Luther did not distinguish between sins unto death, and sins not unto death that you went "WOW" over and agreed when it even came to sins unto death. 1...

I used your first post above as the context. Your own words. Maybe you just forgot what you wrote.

Yes, but which type? Do you know there are two? "Sin is sin" is not scriptural.

Isn't 1 John 1:7 what Martin Luther was agreeing to, but for both levels of sin, same as you did in #56, not just the unintentional trespasses John was actually speaking of? Murder and Adultery are both mortal sins, not venial sins. Mortal sins are what 1 John 3:9 is speaking of per vs. 4, not...

Your heart when born again of the Spirit no longer commits those sins of the mind, for we are given the mind of Christ.

Yes, exactly. This knowledge was the one doctrine of the Catholic Church that the Reformationists did not bring forward as Jesus commanded in Rev. 3:1-3 (Sardis is the period of the Reformation) ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that...

It had to do with believing that instead of the Trinity being three separate persons, he believed in one Triune God, Jesus who could manifest as the Father, or the Spirit or as Jesus. Like Paul explained in Colossians 2:9, For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
