Please listen this time so you never misunderstand the argument again. We're not talking about one sin here. It's the lifestyle of willful sin that shows that a person is in unbelief.
8 The one who practices sin is of the devil...
9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning... 1 John 3:7-10
John is plainly telling us, the person living in a lifestyle of unrepentant, ongoing, deliberate sin is not born again. Their unrepentant life testifies and proves that they are not born again and ready to meet Christ.
Please listen this time so that you will never misunderstand again.
I have explained MANY times that now that I am a “New Creation” , Sin has lost any and all of its. appeal that it used to have for me .How many times have I gone farther than that and stated the truth that Sunning for me is like sticking my hand in a fire......and you CONTINUE to think that all I do is sit around all day conjuring up Sins to commit and delighting in the fact that I can “ get away with it” .....let me assure you — Nobody “ gets away with” ANYTHInG ! Especially Christians. Especially me.
All of these “ practicing sin” warnings that you keep coughing up ,supposedly for my “ benefit” , simply don’t apply to me.
You and I both sin every hour of every day —— if not in deed, assuredly in thought ( any body who possesses a brain and has the insight and guts to admit that they have “ secret thoughts that would shame Hell) and in “ Sins Of Omission” ( how many strangers have you invited into your home lately to feed and clothe ? )
The difference between us is that I actually TRUST in the Grace Of God...I don’t worry about sin and that is the way to conquer it.....you will never understand that. I HATE Sin...the frequency of Sinning constantly DECREASES ( happy , pappy? )
Those that don’t really Trust Grace can never find the Assurance and the REST that God Commands in Hebrews ....I’m not going to make apologies for a more mature Faith Walk That has taken me from being “SIN” Conscience to being “ SON” Conscience ....
Uncommon men and women understand Luther when he wrote to a friend of His that though we “ rape and murder a thousand times a day” , God's Grace is there to cover us......( don’t get your panties in a knot, any of you “ dim bulbs” out there.....it’s called “ hyperbole” —- look it up.... )
In closing, and not that it really matters in regard to Salvation—- I don’t spend time worrying about Sins because I know that Jesus died for them....I do what I “want” to do and watch God change my “ wants” and I know that I can Trust Him to “ Blow the Whistle” when I am disobedient.....that “ disobedience” seldom occurs because I have graduated from any “ obedience” based on Fear into an “ Obedeince “ that occurs Naturally—- based upon Love. Strive to mature in your Faith—- get off of that “ Milk Bottle” and stop being an “ Accuser Of The Brethren” when somebody moves on to the “ Meat Of the Word”....... don’t criticize what you don’t understand .....try to be an “ uncommon” man or woman....God Bless....
