There is nothing that we can do to corrupt that seed or the new nature that is placed within us, even though we can still sin in the flesh. if you believe this, which you apparently do, then you are totally denying the real power of the holy spirit over the dark spirits of demons. For your info the only thing that compels us to sin is our pride and it's agreement with the demons that motivate that sin. Once the seed , or holy spirt, of God cleanses us of the darkness, there simply is no more desire or motivation to sin. There can still be mental temptations and the devil loves to try and temp the most blessed saved people...but it simply is not possible to fall any longer. That is exactly what John said.
The problem with you and millions of weak Christians, is you think you have it all figured out but it really is much much simpler and more powerful that you can figure with all of your bible reading and excuses for continuing to sin. I know you and your ilk do not see them as excuses, but they are.
If you and others would really be willing t obe humble and Be still, you would truly become born again. Aside from that, you really cannot get what I have been blessed with myself. Do I still make errors such as landing the wrong job by trial and error and such, yes. I just learn and I also do not sin. Small mistakes are not sin. Sin is anger and pride...all smaller sins emanate from those two biggies.

it simply is not possible to fall any longer. That is exactly what John said. Posts 116-118 explain at length why you're wrong about what John said. You need to stop getting spiritual direction from the guy who sells exercise equipment on YouTube.
