That's four. Stop lying about what I said. I was using a definition of willful that is different from yours. Not every act of the will is "willful." And the dictionary backs this up.
James 4:
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
You act as if those words are meaningless.
When have I done that? I am sorry that I view things in a less than simplistic manner. I recognize struggle. Yes, I agree that if you "draw near to God" He will draw near to you. And if you "resist the Devil" he will flee.
But it is not all black and white. People can struggle with this. They can try to draw near to God, but be held back.
You avoided the question from both Malakhi and I. Do you never confess and repent from the same sin? Do you ever do the same wrong thing over and over, no matter how hard you try?
