Who, can Not Sin and Why?

[Taken]

And yet John and Paul both admitted to being sinners! Are they in Hell?

So what?
Everyone is a Sinner.
No they are not in Hell.


Not everyone … is like you…. Over and Over Committing Sin!

 

[Jack]

You screwed up your post again.

Thanks for admitting! But you really need to confess to God and ask forgiveness.

No they are not in Hell.

What sin would that be?

You CANNOT sin? Another OSASer?

You speak to and of Christ in me. Would you like to rephrase, or go down with your convictions?

You didn't answer my SIMPLE questions.

I answered...and so have you. So be it.

So you can sin and you are an OSASer? It seems that sinning and OSASer go hand in hand.

Nothing new.

Why? Already did, And don’t / can’t commit sin any more.

What sin would that be?

You’re a big boy… you figure it out.

Yipes … is …. already did, beyond your comprehension, that you repeat yourself… weird.

Do it again. Time is running out!

Seems you serve a god, that His Works … are not sufficient.

My Gods Works ARE Once and Done.

Confess your sins. Ask for forgiveness. Tomorrow may be too late.

I was just talking about this in another thread. You have to ask yourself, what is author's purpose, and how does the stated verse fit that purpose?

The purpose of 1 John is to exhort his flock to avoid sin; it says so right up front in chapter 2 verse 1. My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. John mentions this more than 20 times in the letter. If children of God literally can't sin, why write the letter?

In Chapter 3, John starts by establishing their identity as children of God. See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. In verse 9 quoted above, John is appealing to their shared identity as children of God to avoid sin because children of God don't sin. See how this is consistent with the stated theme of the letter?

1John 2 1b
"... And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."

It is difficult to separate sin from iniquity and trespasses. I would think a Christian would not purposely lie, steal, cheat, fornicate, have other gods before Him etc. BUT..."if" they do...we have an advocate. So it seems that a Christian can sin. In the OT there were God given sacrifices even for un-intentional sin- accidentally or ignorantly. Things like, vehicular manslaughter, breaking His commands and such. Yes, we are not to make a habit of living this way, in a swivel chair sinning, repenting over and over again...So glad God knows our hearts.
Do we miss the mark sometimes?? I would think so as, Jesus Christ is perfect, we are not. And yes as Taken said, we are perfected but not...perfect.

Stop attempting to put words in my mouth. That is not what I said--on the contrary, that is what YOU said.

Read my #77 post again, and if you do not understand, I can explain further--but not if you again attempt to put words in my mouth and make false accusations.

Of course OSASers can sin all the time! They can't be LOST, right?

Satan loves OSAS! A license to sin!

That was your last chance to redeem yourself from your false accusations--accusation against Christ in me and all who are born again of the spirit of God.

Consider the matter sealed then, bound on earth by your confirmation, and "bound in heaven."

That was my last chance but OSASers have unlimited chances. OSAS hypocrisy on display!

Christ (in me) on display, which is via the Spirit...and "will not be forgiven."
