    Can we ever stop sinning or be perfect?

    If any man sin other than “we”, Because we: “Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; …and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” (1 John 3:9) And our Advocate teaches: “…Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.” (John 5:14) Otherwise, our...

    Can we ever stop sinning or be perfect?

    What they are actually SUFFERING from is flesh affliction by reason of starving it of it’s desires. “…for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.” (1 Peter 4:1-2)...

    Can we ever stop sinning or be perfect?

    Why are you still in the corrupt old man? “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” (Romans 8:9) “For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law...

    Can we ever stop sinning or be perfect?

    So it’s @Davy vs the Holy Bible. “Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin… and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil...” (1 John 3:9-10) And the winner by KO is the Holy Bible! You lose @Davy

    Once OSAS Always OSAS

    Read between the lines: “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.” (Romans 6:6-7) When a prisoner is freed from prison, is he still a prisoner?

    Once OSAS Always OSAS

    “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” (2 Corinthians 7:1) Why does everything the Bible tell you to do is frowned upon and deemed “self-effort”? What spirit is this...

    The Idea of Worshiping The Word of God

    It’s like someone accusing you of idolizing the cake mix box because you read the ingredient instructions and follow the steps… Or idolizing traffic signs because you look to them for help… It’s an absurd accusation.

    What happens to the SINNING : Christian

    You failed to address my rebuttal so I moved on. So you see red mirages in scripture too I see: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption still reap life everlasting; but he that...

    Once OSAS Always OSAS

    Yes, the unbelievers. But your faith alone doesn’t absolve you of continuing in God’s GOODNESS. So don’t continue in the EVILNESS of the Devil. “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness...

    Once OSAS Always OSAS

    @Eternally Grateful @mailmandan @Behold @Jim B @BloodBought 1953 Whenever temptation comes along, be like Joseph and say: “…how …can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” (Genesis 39:9) Because although committing this ONE act of adultery wouldn’t make him a practitioner of...

    Yes, but: “Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.” (Romans 11:20-21)

    What happens to the SINNING : Christian

    @Jim B How do you like turning John into a God mocking enabler? “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life...

    Once OSAS Always OSAS

    There is no doctrine in the Bible teaching Once Saved Always Saved or Eternal Security in Christ. Christ himself said that you will be SAVED if you endure to the end (Matthew 24:13). Other scriptures agree: Romans 11:22; Colossians 1:23; 2 Peter 2:20. And I’ve heard these scriptures twisted all...

    Once OSAS Always OSAS

    There is a truth. And there are lies. The Bible is where the truth is found. “…ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” (Jude 1:3) But everyone seems to have accepted the damnable doctrine of “everyone has his own truth”. The Bible is truth and...

    What happens to the SINNING : Christian

    The sin enablers never tire. No, according to the Bible! (Even this ESV translation): “Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no...

    The [Real] "...Answer To...

    Sometimes God has other plans. We must respect and live with that. “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” (Luke 22:42)
