I've always been able to get a job - as a BEFORE picture.
Luke 12:53
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Well, at least a Prot's friend...
"If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
(Matthew 18:15-18 RSV)
Yeah, sure...
Call no man father.
You’d better watch it!
I can see a, “Why do you hate Mary?” statement coming your way soon!
(There were SO many to choose from.)
Alright already!!!
I'll fix it...

Cannot sin. Or, “is not able to go on sinning,” or “is not able to go on habitually sinning.” This does not mean that the Christian is incapable of committing a wrong act. If he were unable to sin, there would be no virtue in his being without sin, and there would be no true development of character. John has already implied that he will make occasional mistakes (see on ch. 2:1). The passage means that, having been born of God, and having God’s life-giving power dwelling in him, he cannot continue his old pattern of habitual sin. He now follows the sinless ideals that have been implanted in his soul by the new birth.
SDA bible commentary
Then you'd know something that the WEB doesn't.
Are you saying that a person who is born again in Christ is incapable of sinning?
................
Yes, they are saying that.
NO ONE I know who is born again says such a thing!
I already showed you an example typifying every “born againer” on this forum that I’ve dealt with on this subject. THEY ALL SAY IT. Here’s another one:
To: Philsworld; MHGinTN
The born again spirit of a person cannot sin.
The soul can continue to choose sin, however.
mhgintn is quite correct that the new born again spirit in a person is sinless.

KR, do you see the utter absurdity of their reasoning? Their “flesh/soul” can sin, but their “spirit” can’t. Absolute nonsense. And guess what? NO MATTER WHAT HORRIBLE SINS ONE MAY COMMIT, THEY STILL GET TO GO TO HEAVEN. Nothing can keep a “born againer” from going to heaven.
Crazy, right?
HA! You can't know the redemptive plan until you know that NO one will follow those stone tablets. It took all those pages, all those people, all those examples just to remind us of that simple fact. And still we don't believe it, thinking we can live a good life.
1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they indeed craved them.
He cannot sin
SDA translation: He can sin with some limitations.
I posted this question on that other thread.
Rape sure does sound like a sin. But Ravi gets a pass, because it wasn’t his spirit that was sinning, right?

Here’s what Jesus says about it:
Matthew 7:
21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…
SIN IS TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW, no matter what part of your body does it (spirit or soul, or whatever your excuse is)
Maybe Ravi said:
Hey, I can rape as many women as I want and commit adultery until the day I die, AND I’M STILL GOING TO HEAVEN, because I’ve been told that my Spirit can’t sin. I love being a born againer. See you all in the clouds.
To: Philsworld
Ravi’s sin, which now appears after two separate investigations, appears to be true. He basically lived a double life....and He certainly doesn’t nor did he get a free pass. The consequences here on earth are currently playing out as his reputation and the span of his once great institutions are fighting not to crumble....but are. There of course is damage.
As for Ravi himself regarding his Salvation. That is secure for any who are in Christ because Jesus will not deny His Spirit within us. But Ravi’s ‘rewards’ no doubt will be affected in Heaven and that’s Gods call. Our Judgment in Heaven is one of rewards....not punishment....for what we have done for Christ through his Spirit.

Ravi is STILL going to heaven but raping all those women and committing adultery on his wife numerous times will affect his reward.
There are almost no words to describe the insanity of this statement.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.I posted a verse. I did not interpret it. Have you considered that it may mean what it says.
