Where does it say they don't "live in" sin, or "practice" sin? I've just seen "commit" sin, or "does not" sin. What do you see as the difference? 18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keepshimself, and the wicked one does not touch him. 9 Whoever...

Why is it up for sale, do you know?

I would agree, so why do so many Christians claim to sin?

Doing what comes naturally to your nature is not a work, and I said "new" nature. If someone only has their old nature, and trying to follow rules pertaining to the new nature, that is works; IOW not according to their nature, that is a work. I am born again and naturally do not sin willfully...

We all do what comes naturally. Naturally to the old nature. Or naturally to the new nature. If you must struggle with your nature, that is works. I shouldn't have answered your post at all, as you edited it a few times from when I first saw it till now. Besides, I was half asleep and went back...

Of course not. We have free choice, just like the person in Hebrews 10:26-31. Though why someone would want to jeopardize heaven for willful sinning is beyond me.

I agree with number 2. How do you think one is born again?

That is Scriptural. Acts of the Apostles 2:38. It is why John the Baptist had to come first preaching repentance to make the way straight for the Lord. Humbling yourself is not legalism, it is a broken and contrite heart. Labeling what God requires as legalism shows no fear of the Lord. Beware...

I've been on forums for years, and never has anyone said grace must be earned. But I do agree that grace is a gift of the power of God to strengthen you where you are weak. This is why God's grace was sufficient in Paul's weakness in dealing with the discouragement of false teachers.

How is grace legalism?

Satan couldn't change God's grace, so ever since the first century he just had his slaves change the definition of grace into unmerited favor. So now for the past 2000 years, every time someone sees the word grace, they do not see the power of God given to man. No! They've turned grace of God...

Regarding Covid-19 Satan is very much in charge of the Communist Party for trying to keep this quiet for too long when they knew who patient zero was and did nothing about the couple to quarantine them right off the bat. "Bat" get it?

Jesus wasn't calm, cool and collected when He turned over the money changer's tables at the temple. He was beyond angry. He was enraged. But that anger is not sin, it is righteous indignation. The anger that could be a sin is that which causes division. It doesn't have to be lawlessness, just a...

Yes, as 2 Peter 1:2-9 says we are cleansed from our old sins, and given the power of God's grace to keep us free from sin.

Look at my post you responded to. Who was I talking about? You? No. You and I are pretty much on the same page. I was referring to the doctrine of "no guilt" by Netchaplain. No guilt from what? There are two things it could be. 1. Sins in our past we are cleansed from. 2. Sins we keep...

We have been given the Holy Spirit to cause us to be dead to sin. All our past sins are cleansed. There is no more debt. Period.

What were they doing? Trespasses against each other. There was only one person that was committing a sin unto death, and they were told to excommunicate them out of their midst, even turning him over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh (not body, but to be shunned so he would truly repent...

I agree. So am I.

Paul asks the same question I did over the chaplains doctrine (without expansion) of "no guilt." What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? The same doctrine of license to sin were active then...

Yes, I agree, and Christ is sinless. The power of His Spirit in us causes our actions to be sinless also. Without holiness, no man shall see God.
