And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; for in him is no sin.
The Bible records followers and disciples of Jesus as being called Christians. It was meant as a slur, like a bunch of little Christs running around always doing good.
But God takes it as a title of honor for His Son's brethren.
The point of course being that Christians in the Bible are Christ-like. Not just sort of, but always like Christ. That is the good news promise and commandment of God, to become His pure born sins and walk as His Son walked.
And so, how is it that Christians teach 1 John is telling all Christians to confess we all have sin in us?
Afterall, since there is no sin in the Son, and the new pure born sons of God are in Christ, then how can we have sin in us, while also in Christ?
If there be sin in those in Christ, then there is sin in Christ.
And they are also not pure born sons of God, because then there would be sin in the Son and the Father, giving birth to unclean sons with sin in them.
Biblically, it is impossible to be in Christ, in whom is no sin, and have sin in us. Just normal grammatical sense makes that a self-contradiction. If there is sin in us, and we are in Him, then there is sin in Him. This is not possible, because the Bible says there in no sin in Him, therefore there can be no sin in them in Him.
I say we Christians ought preach this gospel of Jesus Christ, where them that repent of sinning and believe with the heart unto Jesus' righteousness, are now become pure born sons of God in Him, in Whom there is no sin.
