Maybe you didn’t read this part of post 217?
“Elsie, we are ALL sinners...you, me, boatbums, imardmd1, etc... I repent and ask the Holy Spirit to give me strength to live a Holy life according to Christ and His commandments, for what He did for me on the cross.”

Revelation 21:1 SDA Bible Commentary
1. New. Gr. kainos, “new” in quality as opposed to that which is worn or marred. Both occurrences of “new” in this verse are translations of kainos. Neos, also translated “new” in the NT (Matt. 9:17; 1 Cor. 5:7; Col. 3:10; etc.), refers to newness in point of time. By using the word kainos, John is probably emphasizing the fact that the new heavens and earth will be created from the purified elements of the old, and thus be new in quality, different. The new heavens and the new earth are, then, a re-creation, a forming anew of existing elements, and not a creation ex nihilo. Compare 2 Peter 3:13 (below)
New. Gr. kainos, “new” in the sense of being different, new in kind, rather than neos, which generally means “recent,” new in point of time. Here Peter is anticipating the renovated heavens and earth that have been cleansed from all defilement (cf. on Rev. 21:1).

Our FRiend has a mental block that prevents a TRUE understanding of grace. It is the ancient sin of PRIDE where one holds to the idea that he/she can merit salvation by what they do for God. Nobody has ever stated that God winks at sin in a believer's life or that it doesn't matter if they live in sin as long as they profess faith in Christ. All of that is a strawman. Paul dealt with the same arguments 2000 years ago! They presume themselves judge and jury over another person's heart and eternal salvation.
We continue to plant the seeds and water them and trust the Holy Spirit to give the increase and enlighten the heart.
We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners” know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not! If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing. (Galatians 2:15-21)
Happy Resurrection Day!

“Elsie, we are ALL sinners...you, me, boatbums, imardmd1, etc... I repent and ask the Holy Spirit to give me strength to live a Holy life according to Christ and His commandments, for what He did for me on the cross.” And that is the prayer of all who are found in Christ, not having our own righteousness - which is of the law - but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. (see Philippians 3:9) The difference is we don't depend on that living a holy life to be the reason we are saved. It was ALL Christ - and to Him goes ALL the glory!

You’ll have to explain/define it, as the only time it appears is from your fingertips to the screen.

Like I said before, YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND JUDGMENT.And like many of us have told YOU before: YOU don't understand GRACE.
So - let's ALL of us quit wasting our time and get out there and hide them eggs!

I shant worry two seconds whether GOD is on my side or not. However, I will contemplate deeply on whether I am on His.
Words to live by. Wonderful distillation of scripture, not least of Jesus' words.
