Luke 11: 9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give...

This has nothing to do with sin, but immaturity in the fruit of the Spirit. We are first made free from sin on day ONE, but for the rest of our life to become perfect we master the steps of 2 Peter 1:5-7. Try it.

There you go. Pray that. That is exactly what I did 45 years ago. Except I believed that God could be righteous where I couldn't, and asked Him to intervene. Little did I know that He would engulf me with His Spirit and remove all desire to sin out of my body. I was free. So I know I've been...

I'm curious if you believe anything else?

@post, I know you are hoping I'm wrong. But can you really refute the scriptures? Just ask Jesus to baptize you in the Holy Spirit and especially to give you a new nature.

Right. Here it is in scripture. 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with...

So you've memorized your pet passages and skip the rest?

1 Peter 2: Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,

2 Peter 1:10-11 says IF you follow those steps in verses 5-7 you will never stumble. IF! That may not apply to you. It only applies to those who are fully mature in the Spirit. That takes a while.

AGAIN, I already have been! How many times do you want to hear that? Do you understand? You seem to have a very limited idea of what the gospel is. I have also been baptized in the name of the Father and Holy Spirit as well according to Matthew's gospel 28:18-20, so yes, I have been baptized in...

No, He was accepted back into the fold. The Jews killed Christ. That's as far away as any prodigal can be. And even they can be saved. Good night!

You don't understand. I already have. I'm good. God is still confirming I have assurance in Him. 1 John 3:21-24 I appreciate your concern, but I hope you are also heeding my teachings to you about sin.

The test of whether you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus is if He accomplished in you what He came here for. Do you know why He came? To take your punishment so you could continue sinning? NO! 1 John 5:5 He was manifest to TAKE AWAY YOUR SIN, and in Him there is no sin. Why? 1 John 5:9 Whoever has...

9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man...

I hope you will understand exactly what I meant in my last post.

I mean to the degree that he, himself, believes about Him. Did you know that the opposite of believe is disobedient. That means there are millions of disobedient Christians that do not actually know what scriptural believing even means. Look at James 2:19 18 But someone will say, “You have...

Right. It is about the mercy of God to accept the Jews who have sinned against Him, and now even the Gentiles. Romans 3:21-26 21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus...

I know what you are saying but you do not know why the name of Jesus was mentioned in that verse. John the Baptist came first. Why? He was making straight the path to Jesus, and it all comes down to repentance. So if you were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and have never actually repented...

Truther under what Covenant was Jesus speaking of? We can go back and forth many times before making a decision. But for all Christians we do have a time of immaturity, but I'm 75 and been born again for 45 years. I remember being immature, but I also remember God taking me to a time of severe...

Of course not. It is by believing in Him that we know we must be like Him to be saved. It is then that we know we cannot be righteous on our own, even if we know the Ten Commandments. Just like Romans 7:14-25 says the sin in our old nature prevents us from doing what we would like to do, and be...
