1 | Sin unto death | 1 John | humbledbyhisgrace | 202285 | ||
BB, The text does not allow for the interpretation you are teaching. 1 John 5:16 (NASB) If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. The text clearly speaks of a brother (i.e. a believer) committing a sin not leading to death. For a none believer, all their sins lead to death not just a specific sin or a specific type of sin. John 3:18 (NASB) "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. I hope this is helpful! Steve |

2 | Sin unto death | 1 John | skccab | 202286 | ||
Morning Steve, Am I understanding you correctly, that there is a sin that an unbeliever can commit that we shouldn't pray for that person? If that's the case, shouldn't we know what the offense is? What is it? I'm confused. Cheri |

Cheri, That is not what I was saying. What I attempted to point out was the fallacy in the teaching that this passage of scripture was teaching this was talking about non believers. BB stated “the only ones who can commit a "sin unto death" would be a non-believer.” This does not line up with what the verse says. See again 1 John 5:16. John is speaking specifically of a brother (i.e. believer). Steve |

Shalom Steve, Ok, confusion in that area gone - I hadn't really tried to distinguish the person committing the act. Now, that you have gotten my eyes off the what and onto the who - I think I have my answer. Thanks Cheri |
