Are all sins forgiven, adultery or witchcraft or alcoholism or homosexuality?

[Behold]

Explain that to God:

“And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.” (Numbers 15:27)

What you need to do is explain to God why you want to pretend that all the sins you've confessed were "accidents" and "ignorance".

Listen, its a good thing to be honest.

And if you coiuld understand that "God hath made Jesus to be sin for us", then you would not be obsessing on Sin, in every post.

You really need to get past your self inflicted idea that you can lose your salvation, as the only thing you are able to post about on the forum.

I told you this a month ago, and here you are, still doing the same thing, over and over.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

Every sin is willful

Explain that to God:

“And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.” (Numbers 15:27)

“But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.” (Numbers 15:30-31)

You look good there.
Maybe you could use an eyebrow trim, but otherwise. Its all good.
I have a blue cup that is very similar to your red one, Michiah.

Christians are not under the Old Covenant.

 

[Jim B]

Every sin is willful, unless you're in a coma when you were doing it.

All sin, regarding the born again is become this...>"God has made Jesus to be sin for us".

Not every sin is willful. People can and do sin by accident. Obvious!

 

[Behold]

Not every sin is willful. People can and do sin by accident. Obvious!

Actually not.


If its not willful, its not a work of the flesh, in the sense of what you would define as a sin.
Also....You can commit a work of the flesh in your head...


examples

Lets say you are wanting to rent a movie on Netflix. So, you read..>"R Rated, "language, nudity, violence"....and you make a decision to get it, so, you just sinned as you know better. = willful

But, if you Turn on Netflix, and that movie is playing, and just as you look at it, its the nudity scene........that is not a sin, unless you stay there.
Look away, flip the channel......no prob.

Being "caught" in a carnal situation, is not a sin.

Another example...If you are provoked, and you lash out before you think, then that is a carnal deed, but nothing more.
The Level to which you lash out, is something different, as that can be another level, and pre-meditated.

example... if you are sitting at a red light, looking at your phone instead of being a considerate driver and paying attention to the Road, and someone behind you stays on the horn because the Light is Green and you are not moving... and you send them a signal with your middle finger....... you didnt plan that... So, while that is carnal, that is not the same as you getting out of your car having decided to go back to their car and break their windshield.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

Christians are not under the Old Covenant.

But:

“…whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning…” (Romans 15:4)

@Behold hasn’t learned much from the Old Testament…

Are you okay? Your examples of sinning are absurd.

 

[Behold]

Are you okay? Your examples of sinning are absurd.

Im better then ok.
Im born again.
How about you?

So,
To you, apparently, sin is the deed, but to God, sin starts in the imagination, and the deed done is simply the end result.

Jesus said that you can sin your head..... And i agree. To you this is "absurd".

Here is the thing about sin..

Its not a sin to be tempted.

And as my examples of sin, some, were related to watching TV or MOVIES, im assuming that i hit a mark there with you as you are the one that reached out to complain, JimB.

I recall, recent history, that there was this very very popular cable TV Program.

"Game of Thrones".

Ever see that one?
I never watched an episode but i studied it a bit, as i know that many believers were addicted to it..... years.
it was probably no worse than the "Soprano's". ......
And in GOThrones , they raped, committed incest, and that was just getting started good....weekly.
So, about 7 yrs of that, each week, "Christians" were watching, and when a believer knows what is coming, is going to be soft porn or similar and they decide to watch it.... each week......"willfully".....for years.....

So, thats one example.

@strepho, when we are Born Again, our sins are washed away. We might still sin again out of habit or ignorance, but if He calls our attention to it, we are invited to repent again and continue with Him.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9 NKJV

It is when we refuse to repent (when we are convicted) or otherwise knowingly embrace sin that we are on the road to a "seared conscience" [1 Timothy 4:1-2], but that does not happen right away. God has grace for our failings, but He will not force us to love Him.

 

[Behold]

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9 NKJV

Your 1 John verse is for the unbeliever.

If you are born again, then 1 John 3:9 is for you.

 

[Sabertooth]

If you are born again, then 1 John 3:9 is for you.

"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 NKJV

We still fail/lean on Grace from time to time while undergoing sanctification. Paul said so in Romans 7:19-25.

 

[Patrick1966]

If they refuse to repent, won't obey God, will the reprobates be in paradise?.

They will eventually repent in the Lake of Fire and, yes, they will be with you and me with God in his kingdom on the new Earth after their cleansing and purification is finished.

 

[Patrick1966]

1 Corinthians 15:22-29 esv
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God[c] has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.

That view is known as Universalism.
It is wishful thinking and not orthodox [little "o"] theology.

“Then [Jesus] will also say to [the goats] on the left hand,
‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:...' " Matt. 25:41 NKJV

Notice:

1. "the everlasting fire..."
2. "prepared for the devil and his angels...;" not originally prepared for humans.

Bad translation.

Those sent to the LOF are there for an "age" or a period of time, NOT "everlasting". There they are punished and refined and thereafter they will join us in God's kingdom.

Matthew 25:41

Young's Literal Translation

​

41 Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;

Here is the word that is translated to "everlasting,"

G166 - aiōnios - Strong's Greek Lexicon (kjv)

G166 - αἰώνιος aiṓnios, ahee-o'-nee-os; from ; perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well):—eternal, for ever, everlasting, world (began).

I'm not sure of your point. The KJV mistranslated aion into "eternal".

That article shows that "eternal" is not a mistranslation.
