1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
What does THAT VERSE have to do with this current conversation?
HAS ANYONE said....”they HAVE no sin”?
IF SO...quote them!
IF SO...after you post their quote...THEN Post (1 John 1:8) to show what they say is against scripture!
PRESENTLY...NO ONE has made that claim.
PRESENTLY...YOU posting that verse IS Irrelevant.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Uh huh....AND?
HAS ANYONE claimed, THEY HAVE NOT “confessed” their sins?
HAS ANYONE claimed, THEY HAVE “confessed” their sins....
AND BEEN CLEANSED?
HOW MANY TIMES, does a man BECOME CLEANSED from ALL unrighteousness?
The FACT IS:...EVERY TIME a man SINS, and EVERY TIME a man Confesses and Repents of his Committed sins,
he is forgiven...
BUT NOT CLEANSED.
YOU APPEAR TO HANG on the FACT:...
SOME MEN...sin, repent, are forgiven, sin, repent, are forgiven, sin, repent, are forgiven, sin, repent, are forgiven. YAWN!
(THAT ^^ appears to be what you APPLY to you....AS DO MANY men APPLY that to themselves.)
HOWEVER....
What YOU DO, Applies to YOU...YOU sin, YOU repent, YOU are forgiven...
AND YOU REPEAT...
What I HAVE DONE, Applies to ME.
I sinned, I repented, I was forgiven..........
AND I was CLEANSED...
SEE the ....... “
AND”....Difference between YOU and I ?
Read it AGAIN...
1 John 1: 9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
^^^^ Applies to YOU, over and over and over...
IF we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
^^^^ Applies to ME, ONCE.
BECAUSE....(unlike YOU) I didn’t ONLY CONFESS and REPENT of my sins...(YOU, continue to sin repeatedly, repent repeatedly )
(Unlike YOU)...I
AND, LAID DOWN MY BODY IN DEATH, CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST...
THUS....the AND to cleanse
us me from all unrighteousness, APPLIES to me...
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
And
BECAUSE...I laid down my BODY unto DEATH....I Thereafter WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE God CLEANSING, and HIS Baptism, and HIS SEED.
And BECAUSE...I received His forgiveness,
AND His cleansing, His Saving, His Seed.......I AM THUS BORN OF GOD.
And BECAUSE...I AM BORN of Gods SEED...NOW WHAT APPLIES TO ME, (unlike YOU)......I can SIN NO MORE.
1 John 3:
[
9]
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and
he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Since you are a proponent of sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting....
THAT IS YOUR CHOOSING. THAT APPLIES TO YOU.
There is that FREEWILL thingy, that ALL MEN have.
I chose DIFFERENTLY than YOU.
I chose to be Forgiven my SINS AGAINST GOD......
AND CHOSE to lay down my BODY, crucified WITH Christ.....
AND receive the Lords Cleansing......
AND RECEIVE the Lord Gods SEED......
AND be MADE by the Power of God.......BORN OF GOD.......and (unlike you)...BY the POWER of GOD IN ME.......I can SIN NO MORE!
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Utterly IRRELEVANT....Utterly ignorant to this conversation....
A man who HAS CONFESSED his sin...is NOT a man claiming he has not sinned!
Maybe YOU should consider accepting the Lord Gods OFFERING, of LAYING DOWN your body, crucified with Christ,
and receive the Lords Cleansing, the Lords Sanctification, the Lords Baptism, the Lords SEED, and BECOME BORN AGAIN by the Power and Seed of God......
AND BECOME MADE by the POWER of Gods SPIRIT “IN” you, BORN of a NEW spirit,
and NO LONGER ABLE to continue Sinning AGAINST God.
Seriously, don’t you TIRE of sinning against God, and repenting, and sinning against God, and repenting, and sinning against God and repenting?
^^ That is what a NEWBIE does. EVEN Jesus’ disciples FIRST following Jesus did that....
They wondered but did not Believe (SINNED AGAINST GOD)....
They believed...not committing sin.
They doubted (SINNED AGAINST GOD)...
They believed....not committing sin.
They denied (SINNED AGAINST GOD)...
They believed...not committing sin.
They doubted (SINNED AGAINST GOD)...
They believed...AND CONFESSED THEIR BELIEF....FINALLY!!
AND?
FINALLY was FORGIVEN, AND CLEANSED, AND their Heart circumcised AND their soul SAVED, AND they BAPTIZED with Gods Spirit AND their spirit BORN AGAIN AND THEY SINNED NO MORE!
You should CONSIDER that Offering the Lord God has Offered to ALL men.
Just remember...Scriptural Teaching...BE diligent, BE sure YOU WANT to RECEIVE that OFFERING....BECAUSE ONCE GIVEN YOU...IT IS FOREVER!
Heb 11:
[6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
2 Pet 1:
[10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make YOUR calling AND election SURE: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
I MADE my calling AND my election sure...I SHALL NEVER FALL!
I SHALL NEVER AGAIN SIN AGAINST GOD!
You should consider the vacillating position YOU are IN...sinning against God, repenting....sinning against God, repenting...sinning against God, repenting....
What will become of YOU, IF you DIE on the moment you are SINNING Against God?
Remember Peter, in the crowd, DENYING Jesus, DENYING Jesus, DENYING Jesus....AND Thomas, DOUBTING Jesus had risen up from Death....and WHAT would have happened to PETER, IF someone in the crowd struck Peter and Killed him?
Would Peter have been SAVED? Nope. Because he would have DIED denying Jesus!
Scripture WARNS men...LIKE YOU...believing, then sinning Against God, believing, then sinning Against God....THEY put their HOPE for Salvation, in JEOPARDY...because at ANY moment they can DIE in their SIN, of SINNING AGAINST GOD, at the moment they die. Do you KNOW the moment you shall die?
I DID...the moment I CHOSE to be Crucified with Christ Jesus.
DID you KNOW a man CAN NOT RECEIVE his Offered Gift of Salvation...UNTIL AFTER he DIES?
The Lords OFFERED Gift of SALVATION IS A PROMISED Gift, to be GIVEN...and RECEIVED unto the man’s SOUL...AFTER a bodily DEATH!
I received the Lords OFFERED Gift...According to Gods order and way, of being BODILY crucified with CHRIST JESUS...already soul saved.
OT saints, received THEIR Salvation of their souls....BECAUSE they BELIEVED in God on the day THEIR BODY died...and thereafter their bodily DEATH...received Salvation.
MEN today, can DO THE SAME...Believe on they day they physically die...and receive Salvation of their souls.
MEN who believe during Gods end of days Tribulation, and they become physically dead believing, shall receive Salvation of their souls.
A MAN, Crucified with Christ Jesus, HAS ALREADY RECEIVED his souls Salvation....his Physical death is irrelevant...his soul is ALREADY saved.
He has NO requirement to be subject to ANY SPIRITUAL WRATH...
Not the Lambs Wrath...during the Seals.
Not the Devils Wrath...during the Trumps.
Not Gods Wrath..........during the Vials.
A SAV-ED man IS NOT present ON the Face of the Earth during ANY portion of the end of days SPIRITUAL Tribulation and Wrath.
