The point from John's two different statements: Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. 1 John 3:9 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1:8 ...Is that he is...

Hear, hear!

Still reading...may take a while. ;)

The most accurate way of "rightly dividing the word of truth", is to divide each passage as to whether it refers to the dead who are born of the flesh and destine to die, or the living who are born of the spirit of God. Which in manifestation, God has done by the portrayals of each of the two...

Perhaps we are getting somewhere. The reason I said that you ask too much, is because you ask for a simple answer to what John has set in two different contexts. So, yes, I can answer either, but which one do you refer to? Because you have presented both, but withdraw to the one, asking if it...

So say the scoffers who continue to reject the truth from God and those He has sent. God knows.

@GEN2REV @JohnPaul @PinSeeker @Taken Okay...in an above post, I just announced a mystery of God not publicly known until now, and perhaps I should elaborate. Perhaps even in another thread. The mystery that Paul eluded to was regarding those who are "alive and remain." Which is to say, those...

If you are going to pit one scripture against another as a condition of a yes or no question-- you are asking too much. I can answer you, and have, and I can reconcile both. Perhaps you should restate your question in light of your own suggested differences stated by John.

And it is okay to be in that place...just so long as you do not preach or mislead others to misrepresent the truth of what was finished in Christ at the cross. But since you have not reconciled what seems to be contrary to what John has spoke as the truth from God--if you are willing: You are...

I am not saying anything different than John or Paul, but saying the same. Nor did they contradict each other. The problem here is indeed one of misunderstanding--and no one that considers themselves to be a follower of Christ should determine that John or Paul (or any of us who are in accord)...

And I am a witness. ...No, scratch that. All of us here are witnesses.

You have no business putting this on anyone here-- John said that. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 1 John 3:6 If you do not believe it or don't understand it...it's between you and God.

This whole idea is crazy strange to me.. Just briefly, after some years of downward spiral: being a victim of crime, loss of my business, bankruptcy, marriage, loss of the ability to live with my children; all the while, winning awards and personally doing what would otherwise be considered...

You are obviously projecting. I quoted you...and the scriptures, and your actions against the Spirit speak for themselves.

I am only telling you what is biblical and true: Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 1 John 3:6

Did Christ sin after He had won the victory? The same is true for those who are His, those in Him and He in them as One. For it is no longer they who live, but Christ who lives in them. And those who speak against their salvation, speak against Christ.

These things are only true for those who dwell on the treadmill of unbelief waiting for what was promised to come quickly. As for those who believe, there is no turning back, for no one can reenter what is dead. They receive their reward and it shall not be taken from them. Take no counsel...

Welcome!

History (and of course God) shows us guilty. I mean, that's the point--this is God making manifest (I am) out of what we are to the core, before the Judgement. Only some make a change when looking at their own image cast into the world. Thank God for the poor in spirit! Most are a lynch mob...

Vain וֹ שׁוֹ(H7722) in the sense of desolating: emptiness, vanity, falsehood This is the way some only partly or in name only considerer themselves "Christian" or believe in God. Which is to say, even halfheartedly, or hypocritically. Which is interesting...because Jesus refers to these as...
