Brother, I wanted to show you why I said you are not calling sin, sin. Here is one of many posts that I disagree with. A person truly born again, doesn't have to strive to right thinking, because if is not of ourselves to believe right, it is the actual being filled with the actual Holy Spirit...

I didn't lie. All you can say is that you called me a liar. I didn't and I don't lie. And I already told you that a wasn't going to report you, so don't say "report me all you like." Not my style. I care that you might want to edit YOUR post, before you get caught. What I also care about is...

I'm not a liar. I can only go by what you teach. You don't actually say sin all you like, because you don't call sin, sin. I'm not going to report you, but you just broke many site rules and could be thrown off this site, unless they just give you a warning. Stack up a few warnings and they...

Yes, LOVE is what God and Christ are, and so is the SPIRIT. This is why Romans 8:1-9 shows us that the Law of the Spirit, has freed me from the (old 10C) LAW of sin and death. We are not under the old laws of the flesh, because we are not in the flesh but in the Spirit. This is all because...

No, but I grew up SDA. Left when I was 23. Was the command to believe in Jesus and have the faith of Christ in the Ten Commandments? No. But it is a law of the New Covenant; otherwise, you are lost. Obeying Jesus is also obeying His command to love on another, and to be perfect as His Father...

What laws did Jesus make that the Ten commandments nor other laws of Moses include?

Yes we are under grace. But if you believe grace is abject lawlessness, you would be gravely mistaken to twist the definition of the grace of the New Covenant.

I'm sure you just don't understand them.

We are not sinners, we are children of God. Paul is not bragging about being a sinner. He is not in the flesh, but in the Spirit. Otherwise he wouldn't be a Christian. Being born again is not something you slip in and out of. I've been in the Spirit for 43 years! I don't sin, and I don't miss...

Romans 8:9 shows that a Christian is NOT IN THE FLESH. Only unbelievers without the infilling of the Holy Spirit sin in the flesh. jbf, 1 John 1:8 goes with 1 John 1:9 as a before and after. Before being cleansed of all sin, if you say you are without sin, you are a liar. 1 John 1:6, 8 and 10...

Before I turned to Christ I WAS A SINNER. But I've been redeemed. If you are still an active sinner, you can't be a believer in the Christ of the gospel who takes away the sin of the world. You are believing the Reformation false doctrine of "we will always be sinners" and not in the power of...

No what makes them a liar if they say they have no sin, is because they do have sin - thus are not cleansed of their unrighteousness. You are believing a lie. But, that is up to you. Personally, I am not a sinner; I am a Christian, a child of God. Jesus literally took the desire to sin out of...

True. Verses 6, 8 and 10 are all non-Christians. If someone is a liar for saying they have no sin, then they can't be a Christian with no sin.

A Christian has been cleansed of all unrighteousness, so what type of person would be a liar if they say they have no sin when they do? Think carefully. 1 John 3:5 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Would that person who has no sin be a...

You are correct that 1 John 1:6 is NOT a Christian. But there are many who believe that all of 1 John 1 is speaking of Christians, including 6. Oy vey! It has been taught that way for centuries, and no one questions their false teachers. Actually, the key is verses 8 and 10 are not together...

Let me ask you the same question I asked Nancy. Is 1 John 1:6 a Christian?

How we go to zero on trespasses is by never holding anything against another person. Forgive immediately.

Those are trespasses, not sins of lawlessness. Is the person in 1 John 1:6 a Christian?

How much unrighteousness is cleansed? Do you then remain a sinner?

That would be the same as here.
