Sorry but the Word of God as it is written calls you a very big liar! But folks like you will not look into it but live in some cloud of deception thinking you never yield back to teh old man for even a microsecond.
If ytou make it to heaven you will be stunned to see the myriads of saints who satumbled their way into heaven. Because it seems it will only be then can you peel your eyes away from what you do to gavze upon what He accomplished and did in your life and trhe lives of millions you refuse to believe are saved.
YOu remind me of the Pharisee in this account:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
YOu have been taught a lie and failed to begin to understand teh depths of gods love and the height that Jesus death and resaurrection accomplished.
Just know this facdt- no one goes to hell because they are a sinner! they go to hell because they did ot believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus to pay for ALL (not most) their sins.
The above is another statement from the very pits of hell.
Our salvation is a co-operative effort between God and us!
News Flash: God created us with a free will ...
to choose to follow Jesus or not, to choose cursings or blessings, etc.
Jesus does NOT force us to love Him, to be His friend, to obey His commandments, etc.
My favorite NT proof is Romans 6:16-19 ...
Choose to be slaves of sin leading to eternal death
OR ...
choose to be slaves of obedience leading to righteousness
and
choose to be slaves of righteousness leading to holiness!
Dat's da exact problem with almost every woman on Christian forumsI never wanted to willfully quench the Spirit, and I haven't. Could I? Yes, but who would want to?

dat I have ever encountered ... dey make it personal, it's about dem!
Ridiculous!
I'm NOT here to present spiritual Truth to YOU; I'm here for BACs in general.
Your experiences do NOT make the rules for all BACs.
What is the NT trying to teach ALL BACs?
Please, don't make it personal.
So are you saying you have never sinned willfully? And if you have, then according to you, you are damned. Did Peter sin willfully when he denied Christ three times? And was he damned?If we are sinning willfully there remains no more sacrifice for sin , just a fearful looking forward of judgement and fiery indignation which shall destroy the adversaries.

That verse you quoted is totally taken out of context, when it actually applies to those who turn back to the Law of Moses and believe that they will be saved by keeping the works of the Law. They are then despising the finished work of Christ.
It does not matter. Peter was saved (justified) by grace at that time (as were all the other eleven disciples). And CL, you have sinned willfully over and over again, but you are always in denial, claiming to be sinless.Dah! Did Peter have the infilling of the Holy Spirit yet when he denied Jesus 3 times?

my self i dont think he wasSo Judas is saved? Do you think you can belong to Christ and not have the Holy Spirit indwelling you???????? Romans 8:9 says, you won't belong to Christ.
There's a difference between temptation and sin. What you are citing here is temptation. Satan can plant thoughts, but we can put him to flight with the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
no answers ?
No.Sinlessness.
The text says Sinning willfully not sinned willfully. The word sinning is a participle in the present tense and is plural.So are you saying you have never sinned willfully? And if you have, then according to you, you are damned. Did Peter sin willfully when he denied Christ three times? And was he damned?
No it is not. It says what it says. No where does the Chapter or the letter say or imply what you say.That verse you quoted is totally taken out of context, when it actually applies to those who turn back to the Law of Moses and believe that they will be saved by keeping the works of the Law. They are then despising the finished work of Christ.
Is there a difference between a noun and a verb? Sin in 1Jo 1:8 is a noun.No.
Perfection, yes (Hebrews 10:14 (kjv)).
Sinlessness, no (1 John 1:8).
how are we sinless what is perfection ?Hi Ezra,
Sinlessness.
Revelation 22:11.
What is holy?
Perfection
We cannot control all of our thoughts; if so, we would never be tempted; and if never tempted, how can we be over comers?
1 John 3:10
"In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest:
Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God,
nor is he who does not love his brother."
Translation ...
Children of God (choose to) practice righteousness and love other believers!
Children of Satan do NOT practice righteousness and do NOT love other believers!
Heads Up ...
BACs can choose to NOT practice righteousness and/or to NOT love other believers!
Dis turns dem into (disobedient) children of Satan!
Dey have fallen away from the faith; dey have not endured until the end.
Dey have refused to love Jesus enough to obey His commandments, etc.
When you die, you will either die an active sinner, or righteous or holy. Rev. 22:11. Guess who gets to go to heaven?
