Soooo you really can’t back up your theory with any facts??? Deja vu?
You are a perfect example - fighting against the truth every day, in all of your posts. Thus, the student , the pupil , of the wickedness proves in life the wickedness.

Just testing? You mean you knew I was the OP? That lie just put you on ignore. I can't stand liars. So you have nothing to read of any worth to me. Good bye.
8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Not theory but scripture. She posted scripture and instead of discussing what the verses meant, you resumed an apparently old attack from other threads on her person because you disagree with her. Should a person who is sinless answer your question just to satisfy your curiosity or to support your own lack of faith?This is all great theory, makes for grandiose claims, but let's put the rubber on the road. Who here is without sin?
Why not ask rather, Who here is born of God?This is all great theory, makes for grandiose claims, but let's put the rubber on the road. Who here is without sin?
Or even prior to Jesus' birth in Bethlehem??
That has been so for almost 2000 years.
Nothing new today, per se.
Or perhaps some who have already overcome as Jesus overcame are also remaining silent as Jesus remained silent! What is God's will in this?And if it turns out that there are NONE who claim sinlessness, maybe that's because we really do know what God says about it, and maybe this interpretation isn't quite right after all.
Many who have already overcome as Jesus says, do not ever visit forums like this one, or if they do, many (have testified, ) do not stick around - too much wrong. They remain faithful and true to Jesus, and in fellowship with Ekklesia locally where they live, in person, and not getting mixed up in the affairs of the world, being good soldiers as Jesus says in His Word.Or perhaps some who have already overcome as Jesus overcame are also remaining silent as Jesus remained silent!

(I had to go back and see the context-topic) (still subject to clarification/ double checking / testing by Scripture)Or even prior to Jesus' birth in Bethlehem?
There is indeed in probably most believers an 'old man' that is not yet completely and finally dead. Until he is, the struggle between the 'new man' and the 'old man' continues. That 'old man' is the beast that remains. Solomon wrote of this a thousand years before Jesus was born in Bethlehem. What is wisdom?And that is what freedom from sin means. Unless a person wants to sin of course. But we can't both abide IN Christ and sin.
We are not abandoned by Jesus when we sin. He yet remains in us...since He will not leave us or forsake us. We are learning to place ourselves in His hands and fully surrender to Him....in order to be crucified and enter INTO Him so that we remain in His peace and power. There is no sin in His presence.
Any person claiming true conversion who believes they are sinless is lacking a true encounter with Christ.
What do you mean by "continues to sin?" That if they ever sin again?Anyone who continues to sin has had a false conversion.
“Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.” (1 Jn. 3:6).
Instead ,What do you mean by "continues to sin?"
Ya think?Instead ,
what does God mean in His Word "continues in sin" ?
We, each of us, needs to be where God has called us to be and to do what He calls us to do. We need to function as the part that we are... according to Him:Many who have already overcome as Jesus says, do not ever visit forums like this one, or if they do, many (have testified, ) do not stick around - too much wrong. They remain faithful and true to Jesus, and in fellowship with Ekklesia locally where they live, in person, and not getting mixed up in the affairs of the world, being good soldiers as Jesus says in His Word.
Unexpected perhaps to men, or to most men, but certainly not to God. Did He not know all of His plan before the foundation of the earth?(I had to go back and see the context-topic) (still subject to clarification/ double checking / testing by Scripture)
No, not even prior to Jesus' birth in Bethlehem. The possibility of gentiles to be in God's Ekklesia is "new" since Jesus' birth , and was totally unexpected! - the "secret" hidden until revealed by Jesus to God's messenger Paul...
i.e.We, each of us, needs to be where God has called us to be and to do what He calls us to do. We need to function as the part that we are... according to Him:
"For the body is not one member, but many." I Cor 12:14
Not only unexpected, but not even suspected in their wildest imaginations, according to Scripture !Unexpected perhaps to men, or to most men, but certainly not to God. Did He not know all of His plan before the foundation of the earth?
Is there someone who does not sin?
Do you claim sinlessness?
