You're not distinguishing between the habitual sinner really, though you seem to be trying. The context of 1 John 1, the whole Chapter, is for the believer on Jesus Christ to repent to Him if they mess up. And to not deny that we still sin. But it's obvious you are trying to philosophize your...

Romans 7 is a Chapter those in the Grace Movement don't like, so naturally they argue against it.

Ancient Konine Greek was the language most often used to spread The Gospel to the nations in Paul's day, not Hebrew.

I wouldn't pay any attention to what he's saying Reggie, our Heavenly Father knows how we speak and hear. He hears those who speak in other languages other than the Bible languages, and He answers their prayers just as effectively as anyone else's. Even when Apostle Paul was preaching to...

Oh, I think you knew what I was saying. You're just looking for a way to ridicule. You have to include the subject I was speaking of in the previous sentence... ------- "Is there an example written anywhere in God's Word that declared any other than Christ Jesus as being without sin? No, there...

It's not me, it's you that doesn't understand, because you see the 1 John 1:6,8,10 verses as a contradiction to 1 John 3:9, so you try to reconcile it and wrongly assign the 1 John 1:6,8,10 verses to a non-believer, even as you yourself had said in an earlier post (#230). Did you learn that...

This has already been well covered in Galatians 5 with walking in The Spirit according to Apostle Paul's teaching there, not man's teaching, which wrongly equates Paul's walking in The Spirit with just having Faith in Jesus. Paul gave specifics of walking by our flesh, or walking by The Spirit...

Not all are given to understand during this present world, Jesus showed His Apostles that in Matthew 13. When the believer gets down to Bible study for themselves, asking God's help and checking out their preachers, like the Bereans did with Apostle Paul, only then do all the conflicting...

Let's look back at something you said about Paul's teaching in Gal.5 ... Richard said: "I am convinced that walking in the spirit is walking with faith in Jesus’ work on the cross." Apostle Paul was more specific as to how he meant 'walking in the Spirit'. He linked it with doing the good...

You might want to go over Romans 6 again, the whole Chapter and not just a couple of verses. Anyone can get up at the pulpit and just pull out the Romans 6:1-11 verses, wrongly teach that we cannot sin anymore, and discard the rest of the Chapter... Rom 6:11-13 11 Likewise reckon ye also...

Sounds like you're referring to the idea of Bible translations vs. The Word of God. Did you know that God's Word was originally written in the stars before it was given to man to write down? See this link to E.W. Bullinger's scholarly research on the original meanings of star constellations...

What Episkopos said that you're underestimating what walking in The Spirit is, is very true. Apostle Paul in Gal.5 presented a condition between doing the works of the flesh vs. works of The Spirit. It is IF... we walk by The Spirit then we are dead to the law. Paul didn't say if... we believe...

You're living in man's dream, and disregard what Apostle Paul said below about first belief on Jesus being for the remission of sins that are PAST... Rom 3:24-25 24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a...

The only contradiction I see here is what is in your mind, which goes directly against the 1 John 1 Chapter. And now with the fact that you are trying to say John is contradicting himself between 1 John 1 and 1 John 3 shows you haven't understood either chapter. John in the 1 John 3 Chapter...

Sounds like some secret coded message there bbyrd009. You'll have to be more clear than that.

The part in the above quote I put in red is a falsehood. The whole... 1 John 1 Chapter is Apostle John speaking to brethren in Christ Jesus. 1 John 1 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have...

The way that is handled is simple, stay with The Word of God and not what man says. God's Word, line upon line, chapter by chapter, keeping to the flow, gets the gainsayer every time.

Sorry, but you cannot just scrap all the warnings against sinning for believers after they had already believed on Jesus. You'd be scrapping probably about one third of the New Testament Epistles, especially Paul's Epistles. If Paul had literally meant we can never sin anymore after having...

I'm a realist. I well understand how we can lie to ourselves and deceive ourselves. It's very easy to do. And that's what Apostle John is showing in 1 John 1 about sin, i.e., "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." 1 John 1:5-10 5 This then is the...

We'll have to disagree then, because Paul's "reckon" idea is to suppose we are dead to sin; it doesn't mean we can never sin again, which is the very subject of 1 John 1, because John spoke of those who deny that they still mess up at times and sin.
