1 | habitually sinning | Eccl 7:20 | ccvythcoch | 133704 | ||
I define habitually as regularly or continually or making a habit of. I ment to say if you realize that you are sinning and keep on sinning in the same area are you really saved. For example you lust after a Girl or Guy and realize that you have sinned but continue to do it anyways. I got this from reading 1 John 1:5 and 2:3-4. I believe that if you truly know God and he lives in you than how can you live in the darkness. Keep it Real ccvythcoch |

2 | habitually sinning | Eccl 7:20 | Reighnskye | 133787 | ||
ccvythcoch, You wrote: "I define habitually as regularly or continually or making a habit of. I ment to say if you realize that you are sinning and keep on sinning in the same area are you really saved." I greatly appreciate your definition of habitual sin. I just might suggest that everyone possesses some type of habitual sin. For example, I may be continually late for work, and undergoing a corrective process by the management. We might say that this is habitual sin, insofar as I am not responding to a management corrective process. In fact, I had an employee like that who had to be released from employment. I may find myself unable to wake up in the morning on time, and I just can't seem to improve, despite how hard I try. Should I reckon myself as never having been eternally saved, because I'm habitually late for work every morning? Don't we all have some issue like that? I don't believe that habitual sins disqualify us from being a saved believer. - Further, in relation to habitual sin, you wrote: "For example you lust after a Girl or Guy and realize that you have sinned but continue to do it anyways." This last statement here raises another question for me. How are you defining lust? If one looks at an attractive girl or guy, and becomes suxually aroused, over a period of many years, does this mean that they are unsaved? If that's the case, then we wouldn't be sure that anyone on the earth is saved. - 1 John 1 5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. (NAS95) 1 John 2 3 By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |
