@Taken You should write in common simple terms and leave out the air of condescension with providing definitions. And please don’t break this post down with a dictionary.

“…the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7) And then as a sinless saint upon conversion you do the following: “…Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16) For: “…if we sin wilfully after that we have received the...

They understood. But they were hypocrites. Hypocrites ignore the scriptures. Much like ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED adherents do:

As long as people have read the recent postings here they will know that this statement of yours is false. I’m perfect because Christ made me perfect. I’m sinless because Christ took away all my sins (1 John 1:7). I’m going to heaven if I continue in the faith grounded and settled (Colossians...

People are capable of ceasing from sin. The opportunity to be sinless wasn’t available until the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. God told his people in the Old Testament over and over again to STOP sinning. They disobeyed and suffered terribly for it. “If you will diligently listen to the...

So just reading the Bible is insufficient to learn how one enters… Is that what you’re implying? Because that’s cult control tactics.

“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” (1 John 2:4) Here’s one of his commandments: “…Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.” (John 5:14) Was Jesus just playing games with us when he said...

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of...

At the moment a faithful follower is not of those. But he can fall away later…

An Abundance of scripture comes out of my mouth. Ya’ll think I’m teaching lies so naturally you use the “out of the mouth” scripture against me. I understand. But I can apply it to you guys as well. You have indicated as much in your own writings.

There is no contradiction with 1 John 1:8-10 whatsoever. It just contradicts your ideological interpretations of scriptures that’s all.

So you have more insight into this passage than the inspired writer had? Couldn’t God have inspired the original writer to write precisely what you add to this passage? Take heed: “What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.”...

I did not twist the scripture. Read it: “…if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins” (Hebrews 10:26) What are you talking about???

But “we” also better not: “…sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, [because] there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins…” (Hebrews 10:26)

You see! You guys cannot let the warning passages stand on their own! Because they contradict what you have been taught to believe rather than believing what the Bible plainly says.

I have given reasoned and thoughtful and respectful responses. Why are you so sensitive? I’m trying to keep it light hearted. You taking offense to a meme is ridiculous! I’m more offended that you guys twist the Holy Bible! You know nothing of my intent other than assumptions. And your...

Would you share the following scripture with others without an explanation?: “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the...

This passage alone doesn’t give you the whole picture. I’ve quoted the other passages many times before and you fellas just double talk them into non existence.

He said more. The Apostles also said more. How you guys highlight one set of scriptures while explaining away others is hypocrisy.

“And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.” (1 Kings 18:27)
