I agree regarding the first covenant, but if we couldn't keep the old covenant laws, how are we going to keep new ones?

If you read the whole chapter you will see how easy it is to be pure when you have the Spirit writing His laws on our conscience. Just don't do anything against your conscience. Verse 21. When you have the Spirit, if ever, you can be sinless also by walking in the Spirit (part of Galatians 5)

True seekers of truth will make the effort; those looking for justification for their sin already accept they’ve found it, therefore twist the rest of the epistle to match their error, such as adding the sin-softener word “practice” throughout 1 John, though in Greek it is not praseo, but pasio...

I did. My "yes" was to his question of am I sinless.

That question is asked by people who have not received the Holy Spirit's power over sins unto death inside of them. Jesus said, "few there are who find it." I went to church for 30 years BEFORE finding it. So I can relate to the weak people who ask. I used to be weak too.

Sorry Enoch for taking so long to read you post. I just went searching for it. You are correct in that it is the "THE CUTTING OFF of the power of the sin nature over the child of God. Thus Paul Says "Sin shall NOT have dominion over you". Look at what Paul said. So now take off "sin" away from...

I agree. But the reason why the church is in the state it is is not God's fault. He provided His Spirit, and most don't teach on Him to even have His power inside of them. Instead they believe doctrines of demons who want them for themselves - continually sinning, never dead to sin, until they...

What do you believe removing the law means for us?

Yes. Are you ready to be part of the spotless Bride of Christ? Remember, if you aren't sinless, and still committing sins of the flesh you will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Galatians 5:19-21. 1 John 3:1-3 Do you believe the doctrine of demons that we will always sin until we die and leave...

You can dwell on him if you want, but I'm too busy listening for God's voice to worry about him.

How can you test the spirits if you believe they are all demons?

Do yourself a favor and study chapter 2 and copy every verse that has the key word say/says. Then read chapter one, and you'll see that those who go around saying things without doing them are liars. It is the difference between talking the talk, and walking the walk. 1 John 1:7 is walking the...

It is just something we all know. Milk. I like meat.

Why do you believe you are still a sinner if you've repented and been cleansed of all unrighteousness? Did someone feed you a doctrine of demons. Or have you never been baptized in the Holy Spirit? The gospel tells us so. You aren't teaching anything profound so what's the point. John was...

Yes it does. BTW, practices is not in there. It is commit - that means we can't sin a major sin of lawlessness even once. As I said, even a baby has Satan's influence born into them, so if you say you don't sin never having repented you are a liar because "all have sinned and fall short of the...

What is your point?

The human nature even when we are born has the influence of Satan in it due to Adam handing over dominion to Satan. Jesus didn't, because His father was God, not a human. It is in the seed, thus not Mary. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot...

Where is Jesus God's witness in 1 John 1:1?

Jesus had a human nature, but it didn't have sin in it. Just free will. In fact, because He was conceived with the Seed of the Father, He couldn't sin, just like those who are born again who are like Jesus. We cannot commit sins unto death either because our conscience won't let us without a lot...

It was in the Old Testament when the Jews were under the Law, because they still had their sin nature that Jesus cleansed of all the major sins. All that is left is growing in the fruit of the Spirit.
