1 | Iam having some questions | John 17:1 | KcabmI4 | 212406 | ||
Hello to you Val It is strange to me that the first 2 lines of my post are the only thing you are making a comment on. Did you not read the rest of my post? I used 15 different scriptures. I would be saying to you that approximate 75 percent of my post is scripture. So to be answering your question. "NO" Iam not saying "that a born again christian no longer sins?" The scripture that I posted has said it. These are not what Iam saying they say. These are not the doctrins of a religion. These are saying what they say by the Holy Spirit as he moved upon holy men to record the words of God for us in the Bible. If you would read all of the posts of mine to stjohn. Then you would be seeing there are alot more scriptures. That are saying the same thing. There are litterally hunderads of them if you have ears to hear. And Eyes to see. These words that we are using in our daily life with other christians. Iam Forgiven I have Freedom Iam Justified I have Salvation Iam Sanctified I have been Purified I have been Redeemed. All of these are what we "HAVE RECEIVED" from GOD upon our salvation. They are not things we have to work out in our lives for them to be attributed to us by God. That would then be by WORKS. And we all know and agree that it is by Grace that we are saved through Faith. And that not of ourselves lest any man should boast. How Soverign is God in our lives? Is it impossable for Him to have given to us absolute freedom from sin? Thereby allowing us to come into His Rest. Because we have ceased from our labours. As God has ceased from His. Dear Sister Val, regarding your question "Are you saying that a born again christian no longer sins?" Are you saying that a born again christian does? 1 John 3:9 9--- Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 5:18 18--- We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. John 1:13 13--- Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. With these kinds of scriptures how do we refute them? Any scripture that you will find that does refute them would then be a "Contradiction" of scripture. Iam saying this because these are direct statements made by God. Which have been added into our canon of the scriptures. They are not an interpratatin of them by scholars. There then is a question. Why would anyone that has been given freedom from sin want to live any longer therein. He who is free is free indeed. Why would we want to beleave anthing less of God? Our Father has given us Foregivness from sin. Because we have asked this of Him. He has not given to us a stone instead. You see we all have a choice to make. It is not weather we will Sin or not. But weather we will walk in the Flesh or in the Spirit. This is the renewing of our minds. Because these things are spiritually descerned. If you walk in the Spirit you will not fulfill the lusts of the Flesh. Have yourself a Merry Christmas and be Blessed in the comming yr. Your brother in Christ KcabmI4 |

2 | Iam having some questions | John 17:1 | stjohn | 212408 | ||
Dear Kcabml, Merry Christmas! The question has been asked, indirectly, and directly. Can we honestly say that we obey The greatest commandment? Can you say that you obey it? Mark 12:30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.' I'd like an honest answer please. I have another question for you. Did Peter the Apostle of God, sin after he was born again, when he would not eat with the Gentiles in the presence of those who opposed these things, and Paul had to rebuke him for playing the Hypocrite?

Hello to you John Hope you have had a good Christmas holiday I wiil be answering the second question of you first if you are not minding. "Did Peter sin when he would not eat with the Gentiles in the presence of those who opposed these things" Gal. 2:11,12 11--- But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12--- For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, (fearing them which were of the circumcision.) When we are seeing that Peter seperated himself. The reason he was seperating himself was because of the fear he had about what the ones from Jerusalem would say. Because he did already eat with them before they came. The answer to you would then be "NO" Peter did not sin. This is only my judgement being based upon his actions. And his motives for not eating with the Gentiles. But my judgement means nothing when I put it next to the scripture (word of God) (bible) 1 John 3:9 9--- Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 5:18 18--- We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. Could you also be answering this question. If you are not agreeing with mine. Iam working on the other question for you Your brother KcabmI4 |

Hello, Kcabml, I must say you ask hard questions! This is very good, but it puts me to task. That’s okay though I’ll gladly do my best. By the way, I hope you had a good and blessed Christmas as well. Mine was absolutly wonderfull! :-) There are different ways to view Scripture; one is with a ‘Telescope’, (an overview of the whole) and another is with a ‘Microscope’ (a more narrow view, being one, or just a few verses or passages). When we look at the whole of the Bible we see that there is but one way to be saved. God calls His own and His own hear Him. “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;” Eph 2:8 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;” John 10:27 Now in the Old Testament for example, (let’s look through the telescope) we see there were many men and women of God that were saved by the grace of God. And we know that when we are saved we are born again, so we know that all who are children of God are regenerate; they have been given the gift of indwelling Holy Spirit. So now if we look at the lives of these Old Testament Saints, we can clearly see that through close examination, that, they sinned. Just look at Moses, (Num 20:8-12) when God clearly told him to speak to the Rock, Moses in anger and frustration struck the Rock with his staff, clearly disobeying the Command of God, which we know is a sin. Then we can look at the life of King David, (2 Sam 11) and see that he was not only an adulterer with Bathsheba, but also indirectly had Uriah her husband killed, so he was guilty as a murderer as well! Then looking now at the New Testament, we can look at the life of Paul after he was saved and he finds in himself the warring of the godly nature and the nature of sin that we still struggle with from time to time, (Romans 7) and if we are honest with ourselves we know we cannot even keep the greatest of God’s commandments. The focus of, (1 John 3) is Christian love, and we need to understand that it is the way God sees us that this is talking about when it says we cannot sin. It is Christ’s righteousness He is looking at and not our own; and it rather is saying that we no longer can live for sin, or live in and be dominated and controlled by it as the unbelievers are. These verses are given to us as an encouragement, and there is a danger of becoming legalistic if we take them too literally, because we can still make mistakes, but when we do and satin accuses us, we know we have an advocate at the right hand of God, our savior, Jesus Christ. I hope this helps. God bless John |

Hello John Thank you for your post. Yes my Christmas was wonderful as well. You are saying. "When we look at the whole of the Bible we see that there is but one way to be saved. God calls His own and His own hear Him." “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;” Eph 2:8 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;” John 10:27 Everything you are saying hear is being the truth. Iam agreeing at all with you on these matters. you are saying "Now in the Old Testament for example, (let’s look through the telescope) we see there were many men and women of God that were saved by the grace of God." Where is it saying these peoples of the Old Testiment "they were saved by the grace of God" meaning Salvation. Salvation is through faith Christ Jesus. According to the Scripture. The people in the Old Testiment were not saved as we know salvation. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 9--- For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 Thessalonians 2:13 13--- But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 2 Timothy 3:15 15--- And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Hebrews 2:3 3--- How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; (which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord,) and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; Hebrews 5:9 9--- And being made perfect, (he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;) Hebrews 9:28 28--- So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. 1 Peter 1:10,-12 10--- Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11--- Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 12--- Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. You are saying "And we know that when we are saved we are born again, so we know that all who are children of God are regenerate; they have been given the gift of indwelling Holy Spirit." The people in the Old Testiment were not born again. They could not be called the children of God because they were not regenerate. The only people in the Old Testiment that had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit were the Prophets. But that is not saying they were saved (regenerate) either. you are saying So now if we look at the lives of these Old Testament Saints, we can clearly see that through close examination, that, they sinned. Yes john you are speaking the truth. They did sin. But that was because they were under the Law Just look at Moses, (Num 20:8-12) when God clearly told him to speak to the Rock, Moses in anger and frustration struck the Rock with his staff, clearly disobeying the Command of God, which we know is a sin. Moses as his punishment for his sin. He was only alowed to see the promised land but God would not allow him to enter it. That was payment for his sin. Then we can look at the life of King David, (2 Sam 11) and see that he was not only an adulterer with Bathsheba, but also indirectly had Uriah her husband killed, so he was guilty as a murderer as well! David as his punishment. Had the son of the union die. That was payment for his sin. But Moses and David were not under Grace. They cannot be used as examples of sinning after salvation. Our sin has been taken by Jesus. We are forgiven. We are free from sin. Jesus has paid the price. John If it is being alright with you Iam going to be answering the last part of your post.separetly. Rom.7 Ref. It is being very important. To be having enough room to be answering properly. Your Brother In Christ KcabmI4 |

6 | Iam having some questions | John 17:1 | CDBJ | 212438 | ||
Greetings, I have read your comments on the modus operandi of those that have trusted in Christ for their salvation, But am I comprehending you correctly, i.e. that it is "your understanding" of scripture that while we are yet still in the flesh, that we who are saved, can not commit sin? 1 John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; The following verse carries the connotation of desirability along with plausibility and the solution; should the third class condition of the “if clause” tend to raise its ugly head.
