How about narrwing that down to two sentences.Correct.
This would go against what the N.T. teaches, as in 1 John 1.
No. 1 John 1:8 is specifically speaking of a man who claims He has no sin.
How then does a man to CLAIM to have NO SIN, confess his sin? 1 John 1:9
See, you simply jerk out a scripture that does not apply, and PRETEND it does apply!...and NOT to yourself....but others!
Why are YOU determining what APPLIES to others?
1 John 1:10
I didn't. Are you attempting to make that claim for me?
I have made my own claim with my own words, all men are born in sin.
How do you translate that to be claiming men have no sin?
I have made my own claim with my own words, I sinned.
How do you translate that to be claiming I have no sin?
I have further made my own claim with my own words, I was forgiven my sins.
How do you translate that to be claiming I have not sin?
I have further made my own claims with my own words, and Scripture, I sin NO MORE.
Do YOU comprehend "NO MORE" ?
It means I SINNED, but do so "NO MORE".
How do you translate that to be claiming I have no sin?
I have further made my own claims with my own words and Scripture. I CAN NOT SIN...
Do you comprehend...? CAN NOT SIN.....
ANY MORE.
I have further made my own claims with my own words and Scripture....I am born Again.
A Born Again man, is born of Gods incorruptable Seed, and CAN NOT SIN.
Do you comprehend Gods Seed IS "INCORRUPTASBLE"? He SEED does NOT birth that which IS CORRUPT.
Do you comprehend the NATURAL MANS SEED IS CORRUPT, and GODS SEED IS NOT CORRUPT.
THE OLD man FROM A Natural mans SEED...
IS DEAD!!! DEAD! DEAD!
Dead, gone, passed away.
His SINS are FORGIVEN, covered, forgotten, DEAD!
THE NEW man FROM Gods SEED....IS "WHOLE" body, soul, & spirit and ALIVE FOREVER MORE. THE NEW MAN IS BORN without SIN, NOT subject TO SIN and CAN NOT SIN. He IS SUBJECT TO the POWER of Christ. Chirst KEEPS the NEW MAN, freed FROM SIN!!
Now if you do not comprehend the difference between WHAT "WAS" and WHAT "IS"...
Then reserve your determinations to YOURSELF, on what Scripture you have determined APPLY TO YOU.
I am not a man who has claimed to have no sin.....thus that Scripture has ZERO application to me....and I'll thank you to not pretend you have determined, it does.
I am not ashamed of having confessed MY SINS, to the Lord, or accepting HIS Grace of FORGIVNESS, or accepting HIS great gifts of
Salvation, of Quickening, of Him Freeing me FROM sin, of Him given me His Spirit, His Truth, His Seed, within me Forever.
Surely if you don't Understand it, and speak against it, I doubt you have it.
1 John 3:9
WHOSOEVER is born of God, cannot commit sin, can not sin...
That does NOT apply to EVERYONE.
IT specifically APPLIES TO;
He who IS BORN OF GOD.
And BTW, while specifically ADDRESSED TO your name....it is not to you only.
Many are without understanding, and make false claims and innuendos.....conveniently "for" others.
God Bless,
Taken
Thats all you need.
Of course, you don't have to.
But I, for one, understand nothing of what you've said.
My loss I guess.
