The problem is (and I called you on it), is that your vernacular is also not according to scripture...which I said.Because Dove said our "past, present, and future" sins are forgiven. I told him only our "past" sins are forgiven and then we don't sin again. She said something similar, so I asked him then WHY then does she say our "future" sins are forgiven when he himself doesn't believe we will sin. It was a question for him to change his vernacular to the truth. No where in the Bible does it say our "present and future" sins are continually forgiven as we commit them, so don't add those words.
While you found it necessary to dispute whether or not "present and future sins" are specifically addressed in the scriptures in those words or not, you followed her in that wording, and yet did not correctly answer. The point, according to scripture does not address past, present, and future in the way your discussion was going (and still seems to be), but only, that a sinner sins, and one born again does not.
The reason that this is true and that it is not a matter of past, present, and future, is indeed covered in the scriptures: Because those born again are born again of the spirit of God, past, present, and future do not apply. As it is written: Jesus whom is God, "is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
