I can tell you right now that there are several "posters" Whitestone and Episkopos among them who fail to operate in the above fruits of the spirit "arena". When you reply in a discussion with snide remarks, exaggeration, purposely misunderstanding a point of view just for the sake of argument, name calling, judgment, leaping to conclusions, etc., you are "missing the mark" which is sin. So until we can say we are as perfect as Christ, no one is sinless, but we will sin less as we grow in Christ.
You accuse me of sin Trekson? Missing the mark? Failing to operate in the fruits of the spirit "arena". You, a sinner, accuse me of sinning?
Copy and paste it. Have I sinned against you? Against someone else here? If it is true, I will repent.
There is nothing I've posted that is not of Christ that I know of. There is nothing that Epi has posted either that is not of Christ.
Of course, the devil always claims he is wronged when rebuked.
I rebuke you right now for your false accusation against a brother and others and against me trekkson. Be it made known before Heaven and earth right this moment,
You are a false accuser sir.
I've never used snideness. I've been clear and succinct straight up.
I never misunderstand what is being said, either accidently nor purposefully. I have no ulterior agenda. Only the Agenda of Christ Jesus the King of Israel.
I loathe arguing, I do not seek an argument. I turn off those who are argumentative.
Nor do I resort in name calling.
Only those I've rebuked for being abusive and preaching false doctrine have I dealt with, and I dealt with them in the Spirit of Christ, using His Words.
However, you have just sinned against Epi and others you indict, and myself for your false accusation and I ask for your acknowledgement and repentance and I will forgive you and your sins will be forgiven before my Father in Heaven.

(Rev 12:10) And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accuseth them before our God day and night.
The "accuser" is always the "devil".
It is someone who hates the message of the Gospel because it interferes with pushing their private doctrine.
The doctrine that men continue to "sin" or "miss the mark" while in Christ, is a false doctrine of the devil.
The fact that a person "sins" is the symptom that something is terribly wrong with our commitment to Christ, or our theology is wrong, or a mix of both.
The modern theology that no matter what, Christians continue to sin, has been shown every day I've been here, by Episkopos, Axehead, Dragonfly and also Son of Man, to be a false doctrine, an unscriptural teaching.
It is a teaching of the devil only. It is not of Christ. It offers no hope. It only offers sin and death. No 'power' in that "gospel".
To find one's self sinning after laying down one's life for Christ, is a warning buzzer that something is wrong. Very very wrong.
Ask for the Holy Spirit of the perfect Light of Christ Himself to COME.
He will.
Then, every idle word, every evil thought, will be immediately tackled and bound by the Victorious Christ in us! He is a Wall, a fortress, a Generalissimo! He is the Conqueror who will destroy your carnal minded tendencies to further "miss the mark" and He will reorganize values, goals, thoughts, words, deeds... our entire motos operandi changes! We die to self, let Jesus Come, and guess what, just as scriptures says, a man will find himself become sinless! First forgiven, then empowered to work Righteousness, not of our dead selves, but of our Living Risen Spirit of Christ Jesus within us.
This is The Gospel.
It is 100% complete and totally fulfilled within us, who are totally sold out to Christ.
Only those who aren't sold out to Christ still sin.
Only those who still sin, tell others that they can't ever hope to live a life free from sin, just so that the sinner himself won't feel threatened, as they so obviously do on this forum, to the point where they ACCUSE those who preach righteousness, as sinners! Just like they did to Jesus! It is fascinating how predictable the devil is in his false accusations;
Rev 12:10) And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accuseth them before our God day and night.
(Joh 10:20) And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
(Joh 9:24) So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.
(Joh 9:25) He therefore answered, Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
(Mat 26:59) Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
(Gal 2:4) and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
(1Jn 4:1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
(Rev 2:2) I know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them which call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false;
I salute you my brethren who toil in patience, "trying" them which call themselves teachers and are not but are false. Keep the faith, keep the Spirit of righteousness though they accuse you of sin. For your Father in Heaven knows your works, for they are manifest in the backdrop against the vessels of dishonor, created for this very purpose even in this day.
Peace in Christ,
Whitestone
