"I have heard some men proclaim, Receiving of the Holy Spirit is "receiving of a License to Sin".
Now, that makes not a bit of sense, seems blasphemous even.
Well...historically speaking, WHAT church "credits themselves" as being the OLDEST Christian Church? Roman Catholic
Then a group, breaking off from the Roman Catholics....ie the Roman Catholics who protested some of their teachings...thus they being called Protestants.
Of the Protestants...some kept some Roman Catholic teachings...some broke off more...and more....creating Numerous different Denominations.
Basically they KEEPING...Belief in the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit....but holding differences In what Scripturally Applies and what is fulfilled and no longer Applies.
Of the Roman Catholics..some kept the teachings of the Roman Catholics...some broke off....dropping the Roman Title...and keeping the Catholic Title...and while they will Broadly maintain the Catholic Title ... each individual church leader have leeway in certain matters pertaining to their individual church.
Broadly it appears ALL Catholic churches and most Protestant churches....MAINTAIN in their own Doctrines and Teaching....
THAT
which "was TAUGHT" TO the Hebrews, TO the Jews, "under the OLD Covenant"...
Which is to say....
1) THEY WILL Proclaim, the LAW WAS FULFILLED...and "THEY ARE" UNDER GRACE..
AND AT THE SAME TIME...
2) PROCLAIM, men "forgiven" and "under Gods Grace" and "with the Holy Spirit "IN" them"......CONTINUE TO SIN...and THUS MUST...CONTINUALLY KEEP A Mediator, and Continually ASK the Lord FOR FORGIVENESS.
So the QUESTION IS...What are these "SINS" they are SUPPOSEDLY COMMITTING?
THEY ARE WHAT "WERE" SINS TO AN OT, HEBREW and A NT, JEWISH MAN....(according to Mosaic/Jewish LAW......)
of such men "WHO", had NOT "RECEIVED" the HOLY SPIRIT.
OT men had NOT been "introduced" to Gods Word, being NAMED JESUS, for them to be accountable TO BELIEVE IN HIM.
Every Rejection of an OT man, NOT following Gods Word / IN the LAW;
..between the individual man and God....
"AND"
..between the individual man and man...
"AND"
..between the individual man and animals....
"AND"
...the individual man KEEPING
...Traditions, Customs, Festivals, etc.
ACCORDING TO "THEIR" LAW....
Was a SIN,
..accounted unto the INDIVIDUAL MAN.
The Roman Catholics Continue TO TEACH...(NOT FOLLOWING Gods LAW, concerning BEHAVIOR BETWEEN MEN IS A SIN)
The Catholics WHO broke off from the Roman Catholics and Many Protestant churches WHO Broke off from the Roman Catholics and Many Protestants churches who broke off from the first Protesters of the Roman Catholic church......
CONTINUE
TEACHING and PREACHING...
Inanutshell...
The Lords FORGIVENESS FAILED...
....but not in those words...more to the effect of .... His Forgiveness was ONLY for PAST SINS....and the man WITH THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT....simply TRIES really hard to not make a "HABIT" of SINNING!
And I have YET to have ONE PERSON, who preaches THAT...."WHAT" the HOLY SPIRIT, WHO "IS" Supreme Power.....
IS DOING WITHIN a Person....WHILE "they" ARE "supposedly" COMMITTING SIN!
Is the Holy Spirit taking a nap or something, that HIS POWER IS MOOT and BEING SUBJECTED TO 'the mans' COMMISSION OF SIN?
^ THAT on it's face is Ridiculous.
The Law was Fulfilled. There is NO SUCH THING as a MAN "committing" SIN against ANYTHING.......BUT GOD.
And the SIN of a NATURAL MAN AGAINST GOD, BEGINS at the mans Natural Birth..
And Continues, UNTIL SUCH TIME...
The man HEARS of God AND Christ Jesus and Believes in God AND Christ Jesus.
Under Hebrew/Jewish LAW....MEN CAN and DO SIN against men.
Under Christ Jesus' TEACHING...Men ARE FORGIVEN...for their "SIN" of DISBELIEF IN GOD, IN Christ Jesus.....ie THEIR SIN AGAINST GOD.
And BY THE POWER of the Holy Spirit WITHIN that man....FOREVER the POWER of the Holy Spirit WILL KEEP that man IN BELIEF and FAITHFULNESS TO GOD and CHRIST JESUS ... THAT that man, CAN SIN NO MORE....
Ie....NEVER AGAIN..."not believe" in God, in Christ Jesus.
That mans PAST "darkness" of his SIN, is eternally COVERED, by the LIGHT of Gods SPIRIT.
And whether a man KNOWS God IS LIGHT, or via Physics.....Darkness IS OVERCOME BY LIGHT....and the Darkness NO LONGER visible....and WHY Scripture teaches, a man WHO HAS OVERCOME....IS A MAN who HAS submitted himself to Lord, His Power, TO KEEP that man FREED from SIN, FREED from ever again STANDING (sinning) AGAINST GOD....and the Grace of Gods Forgiveness is Forever....and the Light of Gods Glory covering the Darkness....(the mans SIN,) is remembered NO MORE.
(Unless you are Catholic or one of the many Protestant churches that FALSELY preach and teach...
Gods Forgiveness is CONDITIONAL..
Gods Internal Power is SUBJECTED to a man who CONTINUES to SIN...
Gods Internal Power is not SO Powerful it can KEEP a man FROM SINNING.
And that...Men CAN SIN AGAINST MEN.)
Scripture Never taught me, TO BELIEVE IN MEN....but DID teach me, to not believe in God and Christ Jesus....is a man AGAINST GOD.
I know this seems LONG...but really it is only brief....touching briefly on only one highlight.
SIN is AGAINST God, for disbelief in Him, in Christ Jesus. And ONLY God can Forgive SIN.
