What other scriptures? Maybe some in the OP that are not Christians?

What is the "truth" that sets us free? Is it about freedom from the law, or what?

I prefer to believe that you learned from your mistake and are smart enough not to repeat it. We are all babies at first, even when I was 30 when I received the Holy Spirit. But even babies are given the power of grace to live up to the light they have, Phil 3:16. That doesn't mean they have all...

You have shown me none. I think you attempted to once, but it was all in your mind, there was no contradiction. Thank you for a very entertaining day. But I still haven't had my morning coffee. That's what I get for going straight for the computer instead of the kitchen. LOL

I was just making a statement when you said he was being angry towards your posts. You should know that you can be a mud-slinger. I try not to "react" in anger. That is called self-control. It is a fruit of the Spirit.

If you see contradictions, then you have some errors in definitions. That is why I asked you before do define grace. What you wrote was correct, but a result, not a definition. So if you committed murder, would God see it as murder, or not see it at all if you had faith in Christ?

Then don't provoke to anger.

These posts are not 1000 pages long. We must teach precept by precept. Otherwise, the ignorant can't learn if they are overwhelmed.

You are under the doctrine of once saved always saved. But the truth is we must endure to the end. Yes, we are on the path to salvation which is the narrow path, but we must stay there and grow in the fruit of the Spirit towards PERFECTION, not just salvation. Peter wrote that it is written, "be...

Yes, that is because we are not to live our lives and give shame on Jesus. Our culture today is as in the beginning. One wife for one husband. What was acceptable or unlawful in another time can be seen as the opposite today. Right, sis?

To add further knowledge to 1 John 3:9 look at 1 John 5:18. The keep themselves. The Corinthians didn't. But by the second book to them they had repented and were saved. 2 Cor. 7:9-10 9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry...

What they did was quench the Spirit. We still have free will, and we can choose to go back to sinning and even becoming a slave to sin. You are not saved then. Matthew 7:21-23.

If it didn't take you out of your flesh and into the Spirit in thought and deed, I don't know what you think you received, but it wasn't God. 1 John 3:9

Coffee break for a few hours. He was warning them to grow in the Spirit, because they were still acting like baby Christians. They had everything they needed, but they would still act unlovingly towards one another. In other words, their fruit was immature.

Ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and then you might experience how I live.

1 John 3: 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

What you don't realize is that means our whole sin nature. We should be partaking of the divine nature of Christ now if we are true Christians. The divine nature does not sin.

To live in peace and joy is to NEVER act against your conscience. That is how I've lived my life for the past 45 years since become baptized in the Holy Spirit to overflowing.

In the next verse John said and this is why Jesus was manifested to take away our sin, and in Him there is no sin. That doesn't mean the sins we committed yesterday, are no longer considered to be an act of sin today if we commit them just because today we have faith in Jesus.

Are you a willful sinner?
