#1. the narrator LIED when he said that he don't sin.
and when he kept asking what type of sin did the other Pastor commit, I knew he had no idea what sin is. listen up, Romans 14:23 "And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin."
and the scriptures are clear, Habakkuk 2:4 "Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith."
now the million dollar question, when one is born again do one get all of the Faith at one TIME?, no, Romans 12:3 "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."
this is where the Narrartor made his mistake at, "not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think", when the scriptures are clear, 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." that's why I said the Narrator lied, there is no truth in what he said. for the scripture is clear, 1 John 2:1 "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"
well all those who say they don't sin, why do YOU need the Advocate? I'll tell you why, Hebrews 12:4 "Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin." (THAT'S WHY).
Hebrews 12:5 "And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:" (question, why are you getting chastised if you have not SIN?)
Hebrews 12:6 "For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth."
Hebrews 12:7 "If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?"
Hebrews 12:8 "But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons."
again, if you haven't sin, why chastisement. no parent chastise their children for no reason. NOR DO GOD.
if any have any remaining questions please ask,
Remember, Don't argue with 101G, argue with the scriptures, God Holy Word.

Even so! What happens when a child is born naturally? Inside completely absolutely dependent on the mother to survive, to live. When the child is actually being born, the separation is only the beginning, the beginning of independence. When the umbilical cord is cut, physically they are two separate people, but... But, the human newborn cannot survive separated without help. He would soon die from exposure if not covered. He would soon starve to death if not fed. What is the difference between an infant only minutes old and the mature adult human being? What else besides how to keep warm and a full belly has the 'mature' adult learned?This is a hard conversation, There are so many "interpretations" of what it means even to be born again.
Sinless, already? Perhaps not, but surely and definitely growing toward that goal..? If not, then how are we better than that first man Adam after he disobeyed? How clean and Alive were Adam and Eve before they disobeyed that first time? Consider who was saved in the Ark that Noah built! Beasts, unclean and clean, as well as a very few people!I am born again. I choose not to, nor do I have a desire to sin. Does that mean I am sinless?
I have the capability, sometimes I am even tempted to maybe gossip or tell a little white lie.
I know if I do my conscience is right there telling me don't do it.
Unless of course you are resisting or quenching the Spirit of God in you and following your own spirit again:Some say conscience some say Holy Spirit.. I believe when you are born again your conscience is occupied by the Holy Spirit,
so you don't do what you would do if there were no restraint.
I don't see a lot of "restraint" in today's society.
Until he is taken out of the way ... comes to mind.
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Only one allowing it is God. It's a form of punishment, that hopefully when ones conscience becomes too heavy to bear,
they will seek the Lord.
But there is coming a time when God's spirit will stop striving with man's spirit... and I see it withdrawing every day.
That's called CHAOS.
Thank You amadeus

God Law is in our hearts, and not on the books, for where there is no LAW, listen, Romans 4:15 "Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression."1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
What sins must be forgiven if there are no laws?FORGIVE? say what? ... FORGIVE.... lets see it, 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (THERE IS THAT "FORGIVE". BINGO, oh is one just read their bible. if we confess our, our, our, sins, he, he, he, is what? ... "JUST", he is what?.. "JUST" to FORGIVE us of OUR, OUR, sins. thank God for the NEW COVENANT, you think I want to give this up for sin? you got to be kidding.
Correct. It is not "Satan's nature" but the old "Adamic" nature, which is called "the flesh" or "the old man". The flesh is NOT eradicated even though the believer receives a new nature. Which means that the flesh and the Spirit are in conflict. However, the Holy Spirit is there to empower believers to shun sin and practice righteousness.This fellow keeps going on about "satan's nature", that's not Scriptural terminology, he's not really talking from Scripture.
If a person is dead and therefore blind to the things of God, can he sin? Is not sin the result when a person who is able to see go against that which he sees? What did people in the OT see? Did any of them encounter Light or Life prior to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem?What sins must be forgiven if there are no laws?

If God had not said to Adam, thou shalt not eat, and they ate,If a person is dead and therefore blind to the things of God, can he sin?

Psalm 116If a person is dead and therefore blind to the things of God, can he sin? Is not sin the result when a person who is able to see go against that which he sees? What did people in the OT see? Did any of them encounter Light or Life prior to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem?
We will have the fight between our fallen natures and the Holy Spirit indwelling us until we die or are resurrected!This has been a long running discussion among some.
Galatians 5 tells us that the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh, so that you cannot do what you want.
The conflict remains while we remain in our bodies.

Much love!
sure, Ephesians 4:32.What sins must be forgiven if there are no laws?

anyone who do not accept christ is a sinner without a relationship with God. those who accept Christ and are born again are a sinner until the purchase price of our body redemption is fulfilled... hence the reason why we "SHALL" be saved. for we have a promise to be saved... meaning we have a hope.If someone is dead in their sins and are a sinner before finding Christ, and then find Christ,repent, are reborn in Christ, and are a new creation, are they still a sinner who sins?
If they are, then all of those grace filled steps that led to their redemption are null and void and a fallacy.
If we are saved from our sins by the grace of God and yet are still sinners, we are living a lie.
No, the Christian is no longer a sinner who sins.
