Oh my gosh...Jesus would leave out such an important thing and others like John also saying to sin no more after being reborn....that is really lame.

Affirmative action salvation~ when you have not found nor even believe the true power of what Jesus did for the world; to have total freedom over sin...so you water down the message and lower the standard of salvation. That way you make other poor souls who have also not found full freedom, you allow them to feel better about continuing in their sin state. The teachers who propagate this lie are blind and shame on all of them. How dare they water down the power of our lord’s victory in order to assuage themselves and the masses!

Let me ask you this, fabian, what is YOUR definition of "sin"? You claim you are free from it, you never do it, and anyone who is a "real" Christian is sinless as well. So it really begs the question, what is sin? Do we go by the Bible's (Jesus') definition or Roy Masters' or yours? Really, what is the standard for saying what is or is not sin? I think this would help in understanding what exactly you are trying to propose here.

It will come, Fabian, that someday, someone other than we Christians on FR who appear to be wasting our time with you, will convince you that, "Ooops!", yesterday, you sinned - not just 'made an error'.

This realization will cause your insular world to either crumble in a heap, or at least start fraying at the edges.

You will then no longer be able to brush away what John has been saying for centuries now...

1 John 1:8
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
(Was John LYING?)

Jesus will STILL be there when you want to cling to HIM for your salvation, instead of relying on the idea that had confused you for so long.



 
Galatians 6:1

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
(Guess who...)
