MM-”1 John 3:9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.”

Don’t even suggest by posting this Scripture that you don’t have venial sins ,because Scripture suggests otherwise. Luther suggested GRAVE sins are OK, that is wrong.

“Even the just man sins 7 times a day”, says Proverbs 24:16.

1 John 1:10 - If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

I agree that 1 John 3:9 you posted means we won’t commit GRAVE sin

Why tell me not to do something I didn't do?

Obviously you knew what I meant because you agreed with it in your last sentence. Therefore there was no need for the rest of the post.
