YOU have invented another god before Him who created you Good luck with that . . .
What I have done is searched the scriptures to find out what the Trinity is all about...and derived my understanding of God and the Trinity from the holy scriptures.
Sooooooo, you’re one of those
quasi-Christians who believe that you
no longer sin?
The
Bible says you’re a
liar and the truth is not in you
(1 John 1:8).
Actually, 1 John 1:8 speaks of those who say that they
have no sin...which is different from saying that we
do not sin.
Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit -
- John admitted to sinning -
AFTER being born again
(1 John 1:8).
1 John 1:8 was not an admission by John to committing practical sin in his present life at that time. It was him saying that he was indwelt by the element of sin.
- Paul admitted to sinning -
AFTER being born again (
Rom. 7:15-25).
Romans 7:14-25 is Paul using the literary tactic of IDENTIFICATION to define carnality. 1 Corinthians 9:22 shows forth Paul's reasoning for using this tactic. But 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 tells us that there are two types...carnal and spiritual. And I believe that 2 Peter 1:21 shows clearly that Paul was not carnal but spiritual when he penned the holy scriptures in Romans 7:14-25.
- James says that we sin -
AFTER being born again
(James 5:16).
James 5:16 does not preclude that there is no second benefit (see 2 Corinthians 1:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Hebrews 10:14, 1 John 3:9) in which a man is wholly sanctified (see also 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:3, 1 John 2:6; Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10).
But YOU say you have no sin?
That is not what he said.
Baptism cleanses you from all of your past sins – not your future sins.
We are indeed forgiven of past, present, and future sins (Romans 4:8, Romans 8:38-39, Hebrews 9:12) when we come to faith in Christ.
Moronic would be an understatement,
There's that fruit again that I love to see in you.
