Yes, they are forever for sinners, until Jesus takes away their sin. 1 John 3:5, "And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin." Galatians 3:19 19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to...

There are some cults where no one has the Holy Spirit, so that doesn't count. I'm talking about those who have been baptized in the Holy Spirit and the Spirit has planted the seeds of the fruit of the Spirit that need to grow. They also are dead to sins of lawlessness which I'm not even talking...

I think sometimes when we are born again, we are completely dead, and a new tree is planted and nurtured. Then THAT tree is pruned. Ez. 36:26 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will...

Right off the bat I want to correct your first sentence before I read anything more. His children are not ignorant forever, or even for long. What He starts He finishes. That goes for knowledge too.

Scott, you do know that 7 years is broken in half in two 3.5 year periods: In scripture they are written prophetically as: 1260 days time, times and half a time 42 months 2300 morning and evenings. 1 week Think about that and see what else you can come up with.

I see you believe your human reasoning over the power of God, and want to add your own reasoning to His word.

I don't teach sinless perfection happening as soon as we are born again. What I teach is being dead to sin, or sinlessness. Perfection takes some a lifetime. Baby Christians commit unintentional sins all the time, and they are cleansed because they are unintentional. Intention is the key. But on...

So you believe until we are perfect we are not children of God; that as soon as we receive the Holy Spirit we know all the mysteries of God and all his laws and never make any mistakes.

What is your interpretation? What is He speaking of and why?

Why would Jesus tell his disciples to be perfect as my Father who is in heaven is perfect if we could never achieve perfection. Do you believe Jesus lied? Why do you think Jesus came? It is because of without Him no one is righteous, no not one. And we must be righteous by the crucifiction of...

There was no time given of when the paradigm would materialize, like Daniel had for the Jews. We need to always be ready, not like some teach that we will always sin until we die, and THEN we will never sin again. Satan loves that one. No. Rev. 22:11 says those who are filthy will still be...

The question is how? Through our conscience.

Please read my last post #1108

That is exactly what I am saying, though until recently, I felt the same as you. But don't worry, God does not leave us in darkness about those things for long, unless these things are done willfully. In fact, when a baby Christian discovers he has no power over his addiction to whatever, those...

Look at that verse of John's in 1 John 2. He differentiates between The Antichrist, and the many spirits of antichrist, which are any teacher of false doctrines. And of course the crackpots like David Koresch who claimed to be the Messiah. And as for the stones of the Temple being His body, He...

Matthew 24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be (about the temple not having one stone upon another which will happen in 70 AD? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” The rest of...

That is why all Christians need to memorize 1 John 5:18

A baby Christian will do an act of lack of self-control and our conscience doesn't hurt. But the same thing 10 years later cannot be done because our conscience is now aware through growth of the fruit of the Spirit and the warning prevents us. Looking back at my life as a baby Christian, I...

Scripture says anything not of faith is sin. We don't need a list as in the Old Covenant. The New Covenant doesn't work the same as the Old Covenant worked where they had to memorize a list of sins and laws. God works through our conscience and writes laws there, and He says, 1 John 3:21...

Okay, if that is what you believe, fine. But that chapter says something entirely different to me, so we will just have to agree to disagree because I also follow the teaching of God to my spirit. What shall we discuss next? :)
