These unacceptable sins-1Corinthians 6:9-11,, Galations 5:19-21--Both spots teach-will NOT enter Gods kingdom. If one practices 1 of them-Paul mentioned spiritism, The greek word = Farmacia, So drug addiction is apart of that. So both those lists and all the false god worship on earth = 99% of all mortals practice at least 1 of them. That is why-FEW will find the road.
Noahs day violence and immoral sex was the reason God destroyed all of those 99.9%

the dead in Christ are already dead, those who are baptized Christians who have physically died, baptized Christians who are still alive are to endure to the end, or death!
No...that does not correctly define the End, as do the scriptures, which I quoted.

As I (and Jesus) said, He is the End. Therefore, if one is "in Christ" and He in them, they have died to the flesh having been crucified with Christ.

Again, you are mixing what only pertains to "the dead in Christ", with what pertains to "the living in Christ." Each is separate, until they meet Christ in the air. This is why we must "rightly divide the word of truth."

All sin is against Gods will. Sin= worship to satan. Repentence is the stopping of the doing of the sin. Practiced sin will not be forgiven.

Sin does not = worship to Satan.
Worshiping Satan is an ACT of sin, not the meaning of sin.
Repentance does not mean stopping anything.
Repentance means the ACT of confessing being sorry for having not believed.
Practiced sin Certainly IS forgiven.
Every natural born person has “practiced” sin.
It is a person who IS a sinner (born in sin, practicing sin) that is forgiven.
God does not FORGIVE sin of he who IS already FORGIVEN.
God forgives the UNFORGIVEN.

Not a mystery.
Who is SIN AGAINST?...that one is “repenting and turning around” from?
SIN IS AGAINST GOD.
* (Matt 12: [30] He that is not with me is against me...

What exactly is the SIN?...that one “repents of and turns around from”?
DISBELIEF IN GOD.
* (John 8: [24] ...for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Who exactly is FORGIVING that SIN?... one “repents and turns around from”?
GOD and CHRIST JESUS.
* (Luke 5: [21] ...Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
* (Mark 2: [10] But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins...

Exactly if one practices a sin, no matter what they believe or if a man tells them they are saved, they arent. They arent born of God like they believe or are told they are. They are just fooling themselves.
So we give them the gospel.

The worse thing we can do is judge them. They will react like the pharisees reacted to Jesus.

No one ever came to Christ by being judged. They come to christ be=y being loved.

Jesus did nto come to judge, he came to save that which was lost.

The Bible says if you commit one sin, your cursed. And have no hope

It is best if we stop on focusing on the amount of sin, or particular sins, and look inside our own self and see apart from grace, we are just as guilty as the murderers and the child molester.

God sees the fact that you know you should do something and do not do it as sin. Sin is by defenition falling short or missing the mark.

Adam ate a peace of fruit. Look at the world today. That was the result of that one seemingly innocent sin

When satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness he asked Jesus to do an act of worship. He wanted Jesus to sin and fail.
Believe that Jesus is the Messiah=He.

Falling short is different than practicing a sin.

good

but Jude 1:3 says to defend thee faith
Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. Jude 1:3

The Word of God was sent to Earth to do many things.
What John the Baptist revealed the Lamb of God was to do;
was not about the Passover.

the Passover lamb is not refered to here?

Christ was intstituting the new covenant in his own blood as the high priest

No. John the Baptist was not revealing the Passover lamb or a new covenant.
John the Baptist was revealing “his” Water Baptism and “the The Lamb of Gods” Holy Spirit Baptism.

Christ was intstituting the new covenant in his own blood as the high priest

Off point. Christ is not John the Baptist.

depends on how you look at it.

what does practicing sin look like?

I guarantee many people have many different ideas.

either way. one sin and your done. we should not look at ourselves as making it. when we have all fallen short.

I shared the 2 lists God will not accept. When one knows its a sin and keeps on doing it = practicing a sin. But there will be no excuse for those who do not know what God wont accept. The bible has been there for centuries.

You are still looking at SIN, as acts between men, toward men.
SIN in DISBELIEF in the Lord God Almighty. Period.

IF a man BELIEVES, God Spirit is WITH that man.
IF a man STOPS Believing God Spirit is NOT WITH that man.
Jesus offered a BELIEVING man, “A WAY”, to NEVER Stop BELIEVING.
That WAY, is called ‘CONVERSION’...period.
WHEN a “conversion” occurs....Gods Spirit ENTERS “IN” that man, and by Gods Spirit (POWER) Keeps that man Forever IN BELIEF in the whole of God.
(Lord God Almighty)

A man “WITH” God......can fall away.............NOT SAVED
A man “WITH” God......can sin—->ie CAN REJECT God.

A man “IN” God..........can Never fall away....IS SAVED forever. <— OSAS
A man “IN” God..........can NEVER AGAIN SIN—->ie CAN NEVER REJECT God.

You are implying SIN is acts between men, it isn’t.
SIN is Disbelief IN God.
