1 | What is the sin NOT onto death? | 1 John 5:17 | Beebee42 | 11714 | ||
What is the sin NOT onto death as recorded in 1 John 5:17? Some on various forums say that a Christian cannot sin or he will loose his salvation. I have heard of the sin onto death and have heard this is the sin of rejecting the salvation provided by Jesus. I have never heard teaching on the sin Not onto death. What are your thoughts? |

2 | What is the sin NOT onto death? | 1 John 5:17 | Morant61 | 11715 | ||
Greetings BeeBee42! This is an extrememly difficult passage to interpret. The two most likely possibilities that I have heard are: 1) The sin unto death is a sin that is punished in this life by death, while sin not unto death is any sin which is not punished by death in this life. 2) The sin unto death is a sin for which there is not forgiveness available and leads to eternal damnation, while sin not unto death is any sin which can be forgiven. Personally, I prefer option one. I believe that there are some sins which are captial in nature (either by man or by God) and even prayer will not save the life of that person, even though they can still be forgiven. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
