So when you swear you don’t sin, you’re free of sin, with God’s spirit I’m you you can do whatever you want and commit no sin?
Swear has multiple meanings...
* to make a pledge
* to speak something that offends someone
* to cuss
Some words Offend some, and not others...
Such a bigot, cheater, anti-blah blah, hater, and even Scriptural words, liar, thief.
Cuss is broader...And means different things to different people.
Whore, bastard, dung, piss, ignorant, hell...could be considered cussing by some, yet are all Scriptural words.
Curse is more specific...a punishment that God fulfills.
No, Words are NOT a SIN unto me.
Disbelief IN GOD...WAS a SIN unto me...but already forgiven.
Of course I can DO whatever I WANT.
I wanted to give my life crucified with Christ, so by My Heartful truth, I did.
I wanted God to Convert me, so I Confessed my Heartful Belief IN Him to Him, and I Trust his promise is fulfilled.
All day long I do what I want; clean, build, read, tend animals, decide what to eat, decide what to wear, where to go...
You seem to think because a person HAS become Converted, they have this magical DESIRE and pass, to steal, lie and cheat, blah, blah, blah....
There is a couple of little thingy’s that goes along with Being Converted...
I have the “TOOLS”...ie God Spirit in me (power), Gods Truth in me....that is expressly HELPING ME, fulfilled my end of the deal....
Gods Works in me ARE phenomenal....but GOD DOES NOTHING TO CHANGE, make anew....OUR CARNAL MINDS...(which FYI are naturally Against God!)..
THAT IS OUR JOB...to make our carnal minds thoughts, subservient to our new Hearts thoughts....(cuz duh, what is IN OUR NEW HEART?)....Gods Spirit of TRUTH! John 16:13
It becoming the mans job to practice, training HIS carnal mind, to listen to his new heart, being fed by Gods Spirit of Truth, BEFORE what his carnal mind thinks....slips forth in blabbing with his mouth, what his MIND is thinking!
So, CAN I carnal mindedly think something, maybe even say it, and someone is offended, Sure. I might think you ignorant, or maybe a liar, or whatever, and if I say it...is that a sin because you are offended? No. What if what I say to you offends you, BUT YET it is TRUE...is that a Sin? No. Think the Pharisees were offended when Jesus called them hypocrites, dead mans bones? Sure, but so what? It was true.
I discuss government issues, corruption, etc. I think the majority of politicians are corrupt liars, cheats, thieves...so what? Is that a sin? No.
Then the other little thingy...Is...regardless IF Converted or a Believer enduring and waiting to the day of their physical death to become saved or a non-believer
** Whatever comes forth out of a mans mouth....THAT DOES NOT GLORIFY GOD, SHALL BE BURNED.
So all the cussing, offensive and nonsense talk of where to go eat, what to wear, when to cut the grass, what movie to watch, stupid government tactics, blah, blah, blah that DO NOT Glorify God...SHALL ALL BE BURNED!!
Think book burning is a big deal....ha...Trillions of words men have uttered... that have NOT Glorified God, SHALL BE BURNED. Trillions of acts men have committed that have NOT Glorified God, SHALL BE BURNED.
AND? ALL WORDS that have come forth from mens mouths and acts (ie Works) men have done TO Glorify God...SHALL BE REWARDED....with Treasures Kept in Heaven...
AND? The ONE “SERVICE” God MOST Desires for all men...IS that they BECOME “Converted”... called a “Reasonable Service” (you can look it up), that God desired men to do.
WORKS will not SAVE a man. Works that glorify God, will result in rewards.
When you figure out Sin is having Disbelief IN GOD, and only forgiven by God, you MIGHT also figure out, Once He forgives you, it’s a done deal, His works change a man, once and forever. And he will never leave you, nor can you leave Him.
Mark 16:
[
16] He that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
