I know what it is; I experienced the rebirth and losing the old desires of the carnal nature overnight. How about you?

Most translations were written after the Reformation. Their influence would cause one to insert "practice" while the holiness group would keep it at "commit."

Some who say they are not born again Christians believe "born again" is a denomination; like I'm not Catholic, even though Catholic means the united universal church. If we are truly a Christian, we are both born again and catholic? LOL

That is the whole purpose of parallelisms. They confirm the right answer. So which is right?

So are you an undercover agent for Satan???

Then explain it to me, because I thought one way, and he said it was the opposite.

I remember asking a couple women to stop!, as they were gossiping. You can imagine I wasn't that popular, but I bet they will think twice the next time. It is the reason why we are to exhort one another, especially as we see the day approaching.

We are to also build ourselves up. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

What would your reason be for voting for Biden? I don't get voting for someone with half a brain.

No matter what your strategy, I cannot vote against my conscience.

Are you saying, to get Jesus to come sooner, let all hell break loose and vote for Biden? Interesting strategy!

Do Spirit-filled people butcher babies? No! Then vote Trump!

@Nancy Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Ask yourself, which is the best exact...

1 John 3:4 shows the TYPE of sin the whole chapter is talking about. Lawlessness. Sins which they actually had a written law against, like murder, stealing, bearing false witness to get someone stoned. Those are willful sins unto death. They are wicked. Sins not unto death are trespasses, which...

@Nancy The reason why I hate "practice" is because I can just see someone justifying their sin and saying, well I don't practice fornication, so just this once won't matter.

@Nancy What I see also is that 1 John 3:9 is a Semitic parallelism. One part interprets the other so as to clarify if there is any confusion. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

Here we go again. LOL "4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness."

(continued) NASB No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. NCV Those who are God’s children do not continue sinning, because the new life from God remains in them. They are not able to go on sinning, because they have...

The actual word is "commit," not practices. That is why John continues and says "and he cannot sin," because he is born of God. There are many translations that use practices, so when I have a question, I go to the Young's Literal Translation (YLT). KJ21 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit...

Wow! So you believe that Ananias and Sapphira will be in heaven? Jesus sets us on the path to salvation, called being saved, but we must endure to the end. A and S didn't endure to the end. They fell off the path.
