When Jesus "took away" your sin, did He leave behind the source, the sin nature?

[ProDeo]

Then what causes "fellowship to be broken" (I don't think it is) when you sin?

For example -

Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
Gal 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
Gal 5:21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But I think you know all that.

No I didn't know they forbid jewelry. I imagine you can't braid your hair on a hot day either? The dietary rules were enough for me to know there is something amiss. In several ways they are like the JWs but not as bad. I don't mean alike so much in doctrine per say, but in their hierarchy's tactics. It's remarkable.-in a disturbing way.

I'm glad you were able to keep some friends. What caused you to leave the SDA church in the first place? I had forgotten you were SDA.
What made you keep going to both SDA and another church? Were you raised SDA from birth?

Yes, from birth, and when I was 23 I was engaged to a Church of Christ man and told him we couldn't marry until we were the same denomination. He couldn't debate, which I later found quite disturbing that he never had an opinion about anything. But back then he called one of his friends and we went to his house where he and I could discuss/debate our beliefs with the Bible. After four hours, it was like a light went on, and I finally saw the difference between law and grace and stopped being SDA. It wasn't until decades later I found that his definition of grace was wrong, but at least it got me out of the SDA's.

It was when I was reading Hebrews 10:25 that I decided to fill up my whole weekend with church. Seeing as the SDA denomination was where I was brought up, I felt quite comfortable, but never hid the fact that I wasn't SDA.

That doesn't answer my question.

You've said that if you sin and you know it, your fellowship with God is broken, but if you don't know it, then it's not. How do you account for that?

If sin itself "breaks fellowship", then it should happen whether you are aware of your sin or not. But it it's only when you are aware of your sin, doesn't that mean it's because you think sin breaks fellowship, and so since you are expecting your fellowship with God to be broken, that is your experience?

You don't have to answer me . . . but think about this, pray on it.

We are reconciled to God through Jesus, and by that same faith we stand in His grace. Faith.

Much love!

@ProDeo ....

Your verse is not talking to the born again Christians, who are already in the Kingdom of God, having been born again into it the very instant that they gave God their faith in Christ.
So, they dont need to "inherit" what they are already a part of.... which is the KOG.
This is why the born again are "seated in heavenly places", already.

"Heavenly Places" = is the KOG.

Reader, if you are not born again, if you are just religious and water baptized.... then the verse that says that f""ornicators and liars, and all the other "works of the flesh" will not "inherit" the KOG".....= is talking about you and to you.
So, in that case, you are not a Christian yet, and you need to become one before Hebrews 9:27 takes you away to a place where The Cross of Christ can't become your eternal blood atonement and your eternal : " justification by faith".
