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

    While the Bible scripture is useful, There is also the leading of the Holy Spirit. There are people who put emphasis that the Bible "can be used as an authority" but due to God being the authority, the Bible is a great and useful book, but not primary, it is secondary. What is primary is...

    Scriptures pertaining to Christ's grace.

    Perhaps you will find something encouraging here. Luke 2:40 New King James Version 40 And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. John 1:17 New King James Version 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    Here is a good answer: Romans 5:12-21 New American Standard Bible 1995 12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no...

    Why does God give people over to a reprobate mind?

    So do you think God uses terrible incidents to kill gay people or something or all the murderers now today? Or if all the gays got out of California the fires would stop? Like I said I don’t care. What people do with their given body is between them and God. When it comes to earthly...

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

    @1stCenturyLady The scripture you shared from hebrews was an unknown writer who wrote to an Jewish Audience. When it comes to crucifying Christ over and over - is referring to those who go back to the Law, Paul also warned the Galatians about this same problem.

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

    A lot of it has to simply do with perspective. Perspective be it in half or whole is a perspective, and people make their choice. Sin is something commonly talked about among most Christian groups, and talked on in Churches. However the question then begins to be "where should our focus be"...

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

    Some people sin unintentionally... (however all people do sin every now and then in their life even purposefully) perhaps they had a bad moment when in traffic and they cuss the person in front of them for not turning the blinker on and call them a mean name.... Jesus Christ paid for all the...

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    Personally I believe they recognized him, as the Word of God that became flesh. They recognized him as the promised Messiah (even after resurrection), and only 12 chosen apostles that were with him until the death of Judas, which I believe Paul had replaced him, though many suggest the other guy...

    the real danger of Amillism

    You know people believe and speculate on scripture and come up with date ideas of when the Lord is going to come only to misunderstand that the scripture was a historical record for a time and place and generation with-in that context of what the Lord Jesus Christ had come, said, and had done...

    Street preaching

    Most people already have heard the story of the Son of God... He came, died, was buried and raised again... - People who are out there street preaching are doing whatever they are lead to do. Is it effective? I have no idea. What is effective - honest evaluation of the scripture. Least also...

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

    From my understand 1 John is a whole letter. You can quote one scripture, from that letter, while in turn rejecting other parts of the letter. A person can commit sins and there is a punishment for it - if you kill someone you go to jail, as an example. A person who has been reborn again -...

    Why does darkness not comprehend the light?

    My apologies if I sound mean or harsh to anyone here on this board. That is not my intentions. Though through-out the Bible, sin is a problem which separates man from God, though learning the story you realize that Jesus paid for your sin. That sin - which is caused by the darkness that lives...

    Unanswered Question Concerning Jesus' Deity

    The Word became flesh, and became obedient to the Father by and through the Law which the Word born in flesh had become obedient to doing the will of the Father. That is my thoughts on it though.
