It is not a lie. See if you can understand Hebrews 10:26-31. And 2 Peter 1:2-11. 1 John 1:9 is from when we first repent - all the sin from our past. We are then alive in Christ, a child of God, and cannot sin any longer in the present and future. 1 John 3:5 and 9 You twist scripture to mean...

In reality, I have NO DESIRE TO SIN, now that I am born again. I've said that before, but you haven't show evidence that you understand me when I say it.

Gnostics like you do not believe that sins of the flesh are real sins anymore, that grace covers them.

No, the law written on our heart is not the Ten Commandments, but what the 10C were based on, but they, in themselves, could not make anyone righteous. The eternal law of God is what the laws of Jesus are based on and fulfill, making us righteous. The eternal law of God is LOVE God with all...

Read what I wrote to @FollowHim in #52. How do you know you are born again? Is it just because the Bible says the saved are born again and you believe it? Or did you experience the change in your nature? And how did that happen. Do you have a testimony?

The key word is "believe" and how we define it. Some define it loosely, and others know that the opposite of believe is disobedience. 1 Peter 2:7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief...

How did you receive the Spirit to walk in if you never repented of your past life of sin to receive Him? Acts 2:38-39. What verse in 1 John 1 do you believe I, personally, twist? There are some who twist 1 John 1:8, but I'm not one of them. BTW if you are zeroing in on 1 John, "Will not sin"...

You are talking as if we are lawless (like Behold). Our law is deeper and more thorough than the law we are no longer under. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ, has set me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2. Romans 8:9. Here is a verse many do not understand. For instance...

Since I was born, I don't remember ever hating anyone. I never stole candy from a store, or didn't alert the cashier if they gave me too much change. I never lied to my parents. I never treated the rich preferentially, and I always loved Jesus. I always stood up for the underdog, the one other's...

How is that in a sense scriptural to not call sin, sin? What does 1 John 3:8 mean?

I didn't say you could. Unless you think you are the Spirit...:p You are not teaching scriptural truth, but only what you mistakenly believe. I've been on forums for years, and the scriptures are so clear. So why are you teaching heresies, and won't even read the scriptures that prove you...

All our sin up to the time He cleansed us. IOW, all our PAST SINS.

Did you ever repent at all?

You obviously didn't read my post very well, which is why you are making some hilarious assumptions. I said that Jesus doesn't have our sin anymore. It is you that says Jesus still has it. What are they, trophies? No! They are destroyed and forgotten. Our nature has been cleansed and we no...

This is correct as stated. However, later you expose this statement as just a theory, but far from reality. The truth is that Jesus takes sin OUT OF OUR NATURE, the born again experience, therefore, we no longer act out the sins of the old flesh nature that died on the cross with Jesus. Only...

So without the power of the Spirit a person cannot repent? What scripture reference? Faith comes from HEARING, and hearing by the (Rhema)/WORD OF GOD. So yes, the Spirit from the outside draws a person to Christ through receiving the Word of God, through reading or preaching. But what gets the...

Correct. So how does one who believes in Jesus receive the Holy Spirit. Remember even the demons believe and tremble. cc: @Stan B

Correct, so is everyone who believes in Jesus, saved?

Much of what you said is true, but there are many Christians who believe in Jesus, but still do not have the Holy Spirit. So how can they walk in the Spirit if they don't have the Spirit to begin with? It is not something you can talk yourself into, or get from your own will or right thinking.
