1 | not holding sins against them | Ps 25:18 | srbaegon | 57758 | ||
Hello packer The same way that the following shows we still sin and need to confess the sin: 1 John 1:8-9 (ESV) If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The sin nature still works in us (see Rom 7). We need to be seeking God for cleansing of these. Steve |

"first john 1:9 is one of the most quoted scriptures in the new testament. i believe it is because there is no other one to support it." I'm sorry, but your assertion does not make any sense. Logically, how does it follow that *there is no other Scripture to support it; therefore, it is one of the most quoted Scriptures in the New Testament*. I fail to see any connection between the two statements. ------------- 1 John 1:9 (ESV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. First of all, what *doctrine* are you referring to in 1 John 1:9? Simply put, the principle in this verse is that forgiveness and cleansing from God follow confession of sin. What part of this verse do you not agree with? "is there a supporting new testament scripture to support 1 john 1:9" My answer: (1) Is there a NT scripture that disproves or contradicts 1 John 1:9? (2) The OT is Scripture, too, along with the NT. Psalm 32:5 (ESV) I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah In this verse forgiveness follows confession. Proverbs 28:13 (ESV) Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Again, "he who confesses and forsakes them (his transgressions) will obtain mercy (forgiveness)." Forgiveness (mercy) follows confession of transgressions (sin). ------------ "don't you need two scriptures to support a doctrine?" Where do you find this idea plainly stated in Scripture? I am somewhat familiar with basic principles of interpretation, including that of analogia scriptura and taking a passage at face value. But I have never heard of the principle that you need two Scriptures to support a doctrine. All Scripture is inspired of God (God-breathed). And if God says something once, that is good enough for me. |

we are in the time period of post (after) the death of Christ on the cross. hebrews says what we already know that a person has to die to have his will probated. that will was probated and the inheritance (promised gift)(the holy spirit) was distributed. therefore the bible has to be divided at the second chapter of acts, not at the beginning of matthew. because of this we can't let old testament override new testament |

I notice that you completely ignore and do not answer the questions and points I brought up in my previous post. Instead you launch into a lecture on what time period we are in. Sounds like dispensationalism to me. My questions were directly related to your previous questions and posts. I didn't know we were considering the question, where should we divide the Bible? In a discussion it is helpful if one responds to the questions asked and Scripture verses provided, rather than ignoring them and introducing new arguments. In a debate, it is useful if you respond to the points that the other side makes. I will interact with anyone who has a specific comment or question about the passage in question. I might not respond to questions or posts that stray away from the specific passage being discussed. |

that is your choice but i have to think of the scripture more as a unit that doesn't contradict it's self. therefore i can't answer some questions without broadening them. i am not trying to win an argument, i am just trying to share what i have sought out in scripture. there are many who don't believe what i say is true but there are some who will gladly accept it and get ride of their guilt trips. |

Packer: Thank you for your reply. I honestly did not know what you were trying to get at in your series of posts. It's hard for me to know how to reply appropriately to posts whose meaning or main point is not clear to me. Somehow what we had here was a failure to communicate. Thank you for the additional information. kalos |

the main point is that the good news is that jesus has already died for your sins. the bill has been paid. it is not in the bank waiting for you to write the check. but that is not a lost person's problem. he needs life for death. it is the spirit that gives life. and christians need to know for sure that they are forgiven and get off their guilt trips and replace them with joy and praise. |
