I'm asking you what YOU believe will happen to you? Just oblivion?

I'm a teacher, and frankly, there is a lot you don't know and why you say you sin. If that is the truth, you ARE a sinner, just not a Christian. We cannot lie, even if you think it makes you look humble.

I'm going to bed, so in a nutshell, there are two types of sin. 1 John 3 is just one of them - willful sins which are unto death - a Christian cannot commit these, except by rebellion against God. But there is another that we can commit even while walking in the Spirit - trespasses. They are...

Good night.

Oh, but you have. Every time you didn't acknowledge the Spirit, but merely said you obey because you love Christ. That is willpower, not supernatural. FINALLY! Yay!!!

How do I interpret 1 Timothy 1:15? It doesn't matter how bad a sinner you were when you came to Christ. Paul said he was the worst (he killed Christians). But he's not contradicting himself by telling us we are what he couldn't be. So your interpretation is fleshly. Many use this verse to...

You have finally said something I agree with, because you have finally acknowledged the Holy Spirit, instead of taking all the credit for yourself because you love Christ. Now, if you could only learn, then acknowledge the full extent of what the Spirit has done: You are not in the flesh, but in...

Good night. Thanks for letting us know you are leaving for tonight.

Wrong, the meaning in the Greek is not practice, but a singular, commit. 1 John 2:1 is about trespasses, not willful sins unto death. (Nothing referring to repentance is mentioned which would be required if "willful."

Yes, we can choose to disobey. That is called "quenching the Spirit." But once you have that freedom from sinful desires, it is hard to want to go back as a dog would to his own vomit. But it is possible. What we should be focusing on is walking in the Spirit. Staying focused on sin once you've...

Yes, Jesus was 100% human, but with a unique quality. He had the seed of the Father in Him. That is how he remained sinless from birth. This same seed is available to us humans when we are baptized with the Holy Spirit, and allows us to have the same power over sin. 1 John 3:9 Whoever has been...

It is not hard once you know the true meaning of grace. It is power. 1. The law showed us our sin, and our sinful flesh wanted unrighteousness more than to obey. 2. The power of God in us by the Spirit defeated our old sinful flesh so the righteous requirement of the old law could be...

The apostles say otherwise. 1 John 3:9

By what? Willpower?

Do you know about being born again with a new nature that doesn't sin? You can't break laws you have no desire to break in the first place.

LOVE is a fruit of the Spirit. Without the Spirit, you can love, but it isn't the same as what the Spirit produces - unconditional love. Without the Spirit of Christ we do not belong to Jesus. We can love Jesus for the promise of eternal life. But if you don't obey Him, you don't love Him. And...

By "crowd" are your referring to Acts 2? There WAS interpretation. God sovereignly gave it to the devout Jews present. Each one HEARD all the disciples praising God in their own language. That is how the gift of interpretation of tongues works. Say there are three disciples speaking in tongues...

It is interesting that there are some who are giving themselves full credit for obeying the law, just because they love Christ. The Jews loved the Father God and obeyed the law, but it wasn't enough because of the presence of the sinful nature, which those same people have said we will always...

At the end of our lives we will be in one of two groups. We will either be a sinner, or saint. Revelation 22:11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” 4...

I love St. Francis of Assisi!
