Amen smvoice! and thankyou daniel for your effort,work and pings to these posts,it is very much appreciated.God bless you friend!
As far as having no sin goes I will say that I am so glad our High Priest lives forever to intercede for us because our enemy is constantly accusing us before God.And I don't believe that he stands before God and outright lies to His face.He (satan)wants us dragged down by the weight of our own weakness but Jesus tells us that He Himself is there constantly interceding for us so that we may come to the throne of grace (unmerited favor).Peter tells us to lean fully on God's grace (1 Peter 1:13)why would we need to do that if we no longer have sin?
Anyone who thinks he no longer sins is disconnected from reality and has no idea of the depths we are in,all of us.As I've said before,this is akin to standing on the surface of the sun expecting to cast a shadow.
"...for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night." (Rev 12:10)
"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25)
Grace and peace to us all,God knows we need it.
Excellent point. Thanks.
Good points! Amen.
And JR as well!
Thank God for what helps. But under Masters, the responsibility for what you may be doing wrong this very moment passes to God... Not only does the guilt of your sin pass from you, but so does the sin.168
And,
Salvation is only a basic step leading to rebirth. You are first “saved” from the [world] system through your attitude; a different state of consciousness then exists, which sets your soul apart from the sin world; in effect, you are in the world, but you are not of it. The very last stage of the salvation process if rebirth. The reborn man in turn is then ready for translation. (How to Conquer Suffering Without Doctors, pp. 170-171)
And a word for your family and church,
You had better be careful about being too close to people. Romantic or emotional closeness inspires animal feelings for your daughter, son, dog or cat. Closeness is not love; it is evil use. (Sex, Sin and Salvation, p. 281)
“Anyone who thinks he no longer sins is disconnected from reality and has no idea of the depths we are in,all of us.As I’ve said before,this is akin to standing on the surface of the sun expecting to cast a shadow.”
Really? Well, take that up with John. He meant what he said clearly and there is no crafty interpretation needed. Stop making excuses for your own lack of finding the real power of Jesus.
1 John 3:9, which reads, “Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.”
and don’t you dare add a word, (practice), in there as these dumbskulls “Christian teachers” have done. What a bunch of baloney and so obviously made up.
