I'm not sure what you are saying here. Do you believe the law written on our hearts is for Israel and is only future? No, that happened on the Day of Pentecost in the past. We need to discuss further.

The power is not just from knowledge as if it is just will-power. That would be like the law and how the Jews kept it. We must be born again of the Spirit. Once that happens we are literally dead to sin. And THEN we must also reckon (head knowledge) that fact. The laws of God are written on our...

Yes, 1 John 3:1-9 verifies who has been born of God. And our assurance in 21-24. Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it...

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear

When you say all your sins are forgiven, you are still skirting the issue of whether or not you interpret Scripture that you can still sin and believe you've been saved because past, present and future sins are forgiven? Read 2 Peter 1 again, particularly verses 9-10 if you are not clear on the...

2 Peter 1 is one of my favorite chapters. I almost know it by heart. And seeing as that chapter is one that confirms #1, I don't know what you are going on about.

I know what I believe and it is according to the Scripture. You could instead believe false teachers. And seeing as you can't answer, I don't know what you know. The correct answer (I'll help you out if you don't know) is number 1.

What? No answer? Is either question correct, or none? BTW, unless you are addressing me personally, I don't follow you.

So are mine. What I'm curious about (because I don't know your doctrine) when you say all your sins have been forgiven: 1. Do you believe your past sins are forgiven and you don't sin any longer? 2. Do you sin, and believe your present and future sins are already forgiven as well?

Yes, I have; many times, but right now I am just correcting what you think I mean.

Then you are really growing in the fruit of the Spirit of self-control and long-suffering if you don't eve feel angry.

No, some sins are willful sins of lawlessness, transgressions of the law. Trespasses are not lawlessness.

No, trespasses are not willful.

My age has just made me know more than I did at 58.

Romans 6:23 is not talking about trespasses.

Paul sees a difference also. But he does say it is okay to be angry as long as you reconcile quickly. "Do not let the sun go down on your anger."

You are not understanding my post, nor the scriptures what I believe are based on. It is trespasses that others commit against us that we are to forgive, so that our trespasses are forgiven by God. Matthew 6:14-15 Debts and trespasses are the same thing. The perpetrators would be committing...

The Lord's Prayer is found in Matthew 6. What do the next two verses (14-15) say? They not only confirm but clarify what is in the prayer and the stipulation.

Can lead to sin, but is not sin in itself if it is merely righteous indignation. I've gotten plenty angry with the Democratic party of late. But I won't kill my D friends. I just stay away from them for a while. I go by Ephesians 4:25-27 25 Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you...

No, because look at the end of 1 John 1:7. This person is walking in the Spirit, yet the blood of Jesus is still cleansing sin (as our Advocate). What kind? Unknown trespasses. Matthew 6:14-15. Romans 8:9 says we are NOT in the flesh, but in the Spirit if the Spirit of God indwells us. He...
