    Does God have favorite children?

    It is said of King David of Israel that he was the apple of God's eye. And the parable of the 3 servants the master gave money to invest for him. The first servant with five coins doubled it to 10. The one with 2 coins doubled it to 4. But the last one who the master only gave 1 coin, buried it...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    I don't know why you think what I believe is not scripture, because it is. One error I see is your use of the word "flesh." In Romans 7 and 8, Paul uses the word flesh to mean the nature, and distinguishes the difference between the flesh and the body in Romans 8:8-10. 8 So then, those who are...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    Man was created perfect, with a clean human nature with free will. The nature is the spirit and soul, or IOW the mind and the heart/conscience. The body is just a sinless shell like a puppet. Sin originates in the nature. When Adam sinned his nature became polluted and all ancestors inherited...

    How do you do bible study?

    Never read scriptures out of context. Always read one book all the way through and see the apostles intent in writing the book in the first place. Also keep your eyes open for key words. For instance, 1 John 1 has caused many debates, when 1 John 4:1-3 (about Gnostics) is the reason for writing...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    @robert derrick It seems you believe that man is a soul, which includes the spirit and body. But we are a triune being made in the image of God. That is why we are called a spirit, soul, and body. That is a mind, heart/conscience and body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    and cc: @robert derrick Read Ezekiel 28 about the King of Tyre. Archangels are called princes, i.e., Prince of Persia and Prince of Greece. These archangels are over nations. And fallen archangels are over pagan nations trying to keep them in the dark. The archangel Michael is the prince over...

    Vote Tomorrow

    At 2:30 pm there was a line outside. I left and went back at 5:00 pm and there were 1000 people there. I asked God for help. I left and thought about the gym where they had done some pre-voting but closed it last Thursday. They were open but there was still a line wrapping around. This is a...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I've been filled with His Spirit since 1977 (45 years), so can hear his voice, and have so many testimonies I'm writing a book, actually two.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I have noticed that there are those who demand "practicing" is correct because they believe the apostles teach that it is okay to sin once in a while, then repent, and then sin again, and repent, just so they don't make a habit of it called "practicing." You see I love animals, and I could no...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I agree. This is a post I just wrote on another Christian forum site. Do you agree with it? Just so you know, 1 John 1:9 is equal to Acts 2:38. They are both to make us Christians filled with the Holy Spirit. Rachel we cannot commit major sins of lawlessness. Those are not in our nature anymore...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Yes, that is why it reminded me of this letter from Martin Luther.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    We are alike in how we address Christianity and the Word of God.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I used to be Four Square and it was at Jack Hayford's church in Van Nuys, CA that I was filled with the Spirit all alone without hands laid on me. That was 45 years ago. But about 10 years ago I asked God to wipe my mind clean of all doctrines of man, and seeing as every verse only has one...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    You must be aware of Mark 16:16-18 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    George Sodini must have seen the letter Martin Luther wrote to Philip Melanchthon "If you are a preacher of mercy, do not preach an imaginary but the true mercy. If the mercy is true, you must therefore bear the true, not an imaginary sin. God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    There are many who don't believe in Jesus any better than the devil does. And they believe they are saved, but going to hell. Those are the ones I try to reach.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Wow, you heard a whopper of a definition for commit. If we cannot commit sin it is like a lamb who cannot eat meat. That is what it is like to be born again without the taste for sin. It is abhorrent. Only the old Gnostics invented the definition you heard, and especially the Nicolaitans, and...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    That is a whole new subject and feel free to start a post which I would love to join in. I'm talking the question about translation in 1 John 1:4 which is the content of the type of sin in verse 9.

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I'm not a cultist. You can't be a cultist when you honor the Word of God and understand and abide by what it says. You don't have to know who Calvin was to believe the garbage his doctrines that have infiltrated the Church for the past 500 years have taugt. They are believed by those with...
