    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Yes, that is why it reminded me of this letter from Martin Luther.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    We are alike in how we address Christianity and the Word of God.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I used to be Four Square and it was at Jack Hayford's church in Van Nuys, CA that I was filled with the Spirit all alone without hands laid on me. That was 45 years ago. But about 10 years ago I asked God to wipe my mind clean of all doctrines of man, and seeing as every verse only has one...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    You must be aware of Mark 16:16-18 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    George Sodini must have seen the letter Martin Luther wrote to Philip Melanchthon "If you are a preacher of mercy, do not preach an imaginary but the true mercy. If the mercy is true, you must therefore bear the true, not an imaginary sin. God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    There are many who don't believe in Jesus any better than the devil does. And they believe they are saved, but going to hell. Those are the ones I try to reach.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Wow, you heard a whopper of a definition for commit. If we cannot commit sin it is like a lamb who cannot eat meat. That is what it is like to be born again without the taste for sin. It is abhorrent. Only the old Gnostics invented the definition you heard, and especially the Nicolaitans, and...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    That is a whole new subject and feel free to start a post which I would love to join in. I'm talking the question about translation in 1 John 1:4 which is the content of the type of sin in verse 9.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I'm not a cultist. You can't be a cultist when you honor the Word of God and understand and abide by what it says. You don't have to know who Calvin was to believe the garbage his doctrines that have infiltrated the Church for the past 500 years have taugt. They are believed by those with...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    You blindly missed the key words, O foolish one. Read it again and tell me now if you do not believe the written Word.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    So naive and undiscerning. Commandment keeping nor works don't GET you saved in the beginning. But after you come to Jesus and are saved and have received the Holy Spirit how can you miss all the scriptures that say we do keep the commandments? 1 John 3:21-24. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    A good cop never asks a question he doesn't already know the answer to.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Sorry, but I don't expect Calvinists to believe the Word of God, nor examine what the apostles mean, only Calvin's TULIP nonsence. cc: @MatthewG Didn't know you were a Calvinist seeing as you liked his post, unless you are just naive.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Both the person who does their own will and sin, and those who quench the Spirit are in peril. They are both sinning willfully. Did Jesus pay for their right to sin willfully? Or did Jesus take away their old sins, and now they are committing new willful sins. What happens to those sins? Must...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    You need to learn to discern key words used by the apostle to know what they mean, and why there is no contradiction. There are many you talk the talk and tell lies, then there are those who walk in the light and there is no sin in them. 1 John 2: My little children, these things I write to...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    In other words you are NOT dead to the flesh? Romans 6:6-7; Romans 8:8-9

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    You haven't said that you don't apply these to yourself, so what is it you believe?

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Grace there is a true definition of God's Grace of the New Covenant, and a false one by false teachers. What is your definition to see who you are believing? Some believe the theology of receiving the Holy Spirit, but have never experienced it. Its and event, not a belief.
