1 John 1:7 is about us. We walk in the light and abide in Him. But there is something that Jesus is still cleansing in us. It is immature fruit. But because we abide in Him we keep His commandments, making us CLEAN. John 15:1-4 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every...

Matthew I can honestly say that I took care of my mother in her dying days. I can honestly say I have never stolen anything from any store, not even a bubble gum when I was a child. Just thinking about that one makes me love my parents memory. They sure were great teachers. That goes for lying...

God's grace given to us is God's divine power. It is not unmerited favor as most people think. That phrase came about when grace became a license to sin. Look at Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for...

This is to you. How can you think that 1 John 1:8 is saying Christians sin when John says the opposite. Jesus died to be the Advocate for the whole world. It doesn't mean that Christians will sin.

Of course. For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

How we could deceive ourselves is if we say we are not doing something that we are doing. So are you breaking any of the old commandments. Paul says Christians keep them with the words establish them Romans 3:31

We're not talking about when the laws of God were engraved on stone, but when they are written on your heart. Matthew you are required to obey your conscience where they are written. So do you obey your conscience and go to bed with a clear conscience?

The word sinless is not in the Bible, so are you free from the desire to break any of the last 6 commandments? Those are what Jesus frees us from committing. Not immature fruit. So you may see yourself losing self-control or being unloving. Those take the rest of your life to mature in. That...

The brontosaurus is an extinct reptile and Job wrote about him.

Matthew, yours better be too. Are you born again of the Spirit? Do you have any gifts? If not lets have a private conversation in the mailbox. Romans 8:8-9 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God...

The Spirit is our mind. The Soul is our heart and conscience. We are made up of spirit, soul and body 1 Thess 5:23. Only the body is not born again during our lifetime, but is changed afterwards. The reason is that sin originates only in our spirit and soul. The body just does what the nature...

Okay, so tell me. And were they on the ark or not? Job was written after the flood, so they must have been on the ark.

When you love Jesus with all your heart you are keeping the first four commandments naturally while abiding IN Him.

Yes you did when you said the ones saved are the ones "taken." The Bible is clear that those who are taken are destroyed.

Scott, don't you know that the Holy Spirit will NOT contradict the Word of God? So what spirit are you listening to?

Matthew my flesh is dead.

The trouble with that is without the Spirit your own willpower won't last. Not if the sin is fun. No, we MUST be born again of the Spirit. Then there is no trying against our nature, just doing what would then come naturally to our new nature.

I didn't google it, I just thought about it.

Sorry, I missed this. According to 1 John 3:4-5, I don't sin. Let's see if you can say the same (and @Bob Estey). These are sins unto death, not sins not unto death. Do either of you break any of these even in your mind? 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon...
