STOP! Wow. I swear I don't remember anything of the kind. You are not Gnostic, nor do I recall talking about sex with you, a man. But if I did, I'm very sorry. That is horrible. This may be one of those times that Jesus takes away immature fruit and empowers us with maturity in that particular...

Behold, we may not believe alike completely, but at least I treat you with respect. And I do not bear false witness against you as you are to me. I am saved. I know it, and there is nothing I will do to stop being saved. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for you. Matthew 7:19-23. Out of one...

Jesus is the Author of our faith, not us. He will take away every evil desire, even if not all fleshly desires not found in the Ten Commandment have been taken away in the first round of cleansing, so we must keep ourselves away from people and places that could bring up the flesh. Our love for...

Behold, I'm glad you spoke of the POWER that is given to those who repent of their past sins, because a true born again believer in Christ's sacrifice and resurrection finds a supernatural change in their desires, and thus in their behavior. Others will know you are a Christian. Jesus TAKES AWAY...

I know exactly what you mean when God says, "stop." I now stop too. LOL Wow, I never knew they were such a cult. I've always defended them, but dying for your own sins is antiChrist. I see the wording a little differently. See what you think. 1 Corinthians 9:11 says we were washed, we were...

Sorry, I missed this one because it wasn't addressed to me. 1 John 1:9 and Acts 2:38 are the same event. The moment you are born again of the Spirit and given the Holy Spirit to not sin. "All unrighteousness" is the desire to sin also. But we learn in 1 John 3 that the type of sin we are...

Unfortunately, I did marry again. But for the whole week before the wedding, God was saying, no, but I reasoned, "well, he's a Christian" and married him anyway. There is a verse about Jesus that He learned obedience through suffering, that I can relate to. He divorced me for the wife of his...

Yes, from birth, and when I was 23 I was engaged to a Church of Christ man and told him we couldn't marry until we were the same denomination. He couldn't debate, which I later found quite disturbing that he never had an opinion about anything. But back then he called one of his friends and we...

The point I was trying to make is (9) if we are cleansed of all unrighteousness, are verses 6, 8 and 10 Christians at all? My answer is no. Verse 7 is the only Christian, and verse 9 is how they became a Christian. The key word in 6, 8 and 10 is "say." You can say anything, but walking is a...

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...
