John was speaking to his congregation, thus "we". Is everyone that ever steps inside your church automatically saved? Or might there be some who still need teaching?

My point is how does 1 John 2:1 and 1 John 3:9 mesh? Do you know?

So after we confess our sin and we are cleansed of all sin, and we sin again, we don't have to confess it, we can just rest assured that our past, present and future sins are forgiven, even murder?

If an unbeliever, why is Paul using "I"?

Do you see anywhere in 1 John 2:1 that our Advocate speaks of repenting for those sins? Or are they already forgiven and we can sin our heads off?

You are reading 1 John 1 with a western mindset, instead of the eastern writing style of the apostles. So do you also believe that Paul was talking about the struggle of a Christian in Romans 7:14-23 because he uses "I"? What about Romans 7:9? Was Paul alive before and when Moses received the law?

I know you do. Do you believe John was a sinner or a child of God? You can't be both. Did you know that Constantine refused to get baptized until close to his deathbed for this very reason? But with the power of the Holy Spirit in them, there is no struggle to be righteous. By the way, do you...

You have to know how the apostles write. You are western with a western mindset, and "we" and "I" as in Romans 7, you probably believe are Christians. (This is not my first rodeo.) But Paul is not saying that Christians have the struggle of Romans 7:14-23, and neither is John speaking about...

1 John 1:8 and Romans 3:23 are alike by two different apostles. 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in...

Who are you talking to??? 1 John 1:8 is talking about mankind in general BEFORE Christ. 1 John 1:9 is how to become a Christian and walk in the light. 1 John 1:6, 8 and 10 are all those walking in darkness. 5 - God is LIGHT 6 - If you walk in DARKNESS 7 - If you walk in the LIGHT 8 - If you say...

I know Rev. 22:11 by heart, so I don't even have to look it up. lol I'm not stressed out for myself, because I know between the two sets in Revelation 22:11, I am on the right side. But not everyone in the church has a lifetime to get it right!

You do realize that when you came to Christ your PAST sins were taken away. You have a clean slate to no longer get dirty with sin. 2 Peter 1:9 only our old sins from our pre-Christ days were cleansed away, (not covered). Then we are given the divine power of grace to no longer sin in the...

No I didn't have any such conversation with you. You'll have to back-track and show me. But for now, name who?

This is exactly why I made this OP. You are 100% wrong, and are using verses that do not apply to Christians. 1 John 1:8 is before Christ which starts with the next verse. And Romans 4 is about no longer being under the Mosaic law, but that doesn't leave us lawless, only instead of engraved on...

You still believe the sin is in you, not taken away. You believe it is just covered

I never said any such thing. I'm beginning to wonder about your state of mind. Everything I say seems to get twisted into nonsense.

Not sure what you mean. This doesn't seem in answer to the post.

Yes, because you should know that 1 John 1:8 is BEFORE 1 John 1:9.

So you are claiming that your sin is COVERED as in the OP, and not TAKEN AWAY?

Sounds refreshing. I'm drinking hot tea - Jiaogulan tea.
