These comments proves that you’re absolutely clueless … and definitely NOT “born again”.The most carnal church in the New Testament is the Corinthian Church.
This is the group that is worried about " spiritual gifts", because all babies worry about gifts.
IN this church community, a young born again believer, was "fornicating" with his step mother.
Paul had the church shut Him out for a while.
After some time, Paul told this group to let the boy back in., and they did.
So, what does this prove? It proves you can "sin willfully" and you are still saved.
I have no idea how many times this young man fornicated with his dad's new wife, but i suspect it was more then once. Did he understand it was wrong, it was fornication?....Uh huh. It proves that a believer can commit fornication. Lots of them do. That is one more sin forgiven 2000 yrs ago.
Nonsense. Grace doesn’t turn believers into robots that cannot sin. Grace works in cooperation with the believer’s free will, and grace can be overcome/denied by the believers free will, leading to sin.You are delivered from this carnal behavior by Grace, not by will power.
In Colossians 3:5-11, Paul implies believers use their own free will to resist sin : “Put to death what is earthly in you: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry … In these you once walked, when you lived in them. But now put them all away … ” (Col 3:5-11).
Pray tell, O Wise One, if you can “’sin willfully’ and still be saved”, why would you need to be “delivered… by Grace” from any sin?It proves you can still “sin willfully” and you are still saved …. You are delivered from this carnal behavior by Grace, not by will power.
