1 | You didn't "go on sinning"? | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65101 | ||
I ask EdB these things and bring these scriptures to his attention because God showed me something awhile back that I had never seen before. I believed very similarly to the way you all do now. But He showed me that what I was believing was a lie, and then He showed me the truth. Please consider these things, because if you see the same things He showed me, then I want you to allow Him to show you the rest of what He showed me. It’s truly priceless. I am just asking EdB questions. If his answers to those questions dig a hole, is that my fault? God says plainly in Hebrews 10:26 that He does not forgive sins committed when you know better. EdB said that he has committed such sins. Where does that leave EdB? In a hole? Did I write the scriptures? Did I make EdB commit sin when he knew better? If I walk by and EdB is in a hole, but doesn't know it, does EdB not want to know he is in a hole??? If EdB is walking toward a cliff, but doesn't know it, does EdB not want to be alerted to that fact? God tells me that if I see a “sword coming”, I’m supposed to “blow the trumpet”. And if I don’t, that MY soul will be in jeopardy: Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But IF THE WATCHMAN SEE THE SWORD COME, AND BLOW NOT THE TRUMPET, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THE WATCHMAN'S HAND. (Ezekiel 33:2-6) EdB said "We should have a desire to draw nearer to God". When is it that EdB was planning on doing that? When is it that EdB was planning on ceasing from committing sin? When is EdB planning to "abstain from things that aren't" "righteousness" and "holiness"? EdB said "Does that mean we will never sin, no..." Evaluate for yourself, does that agree with these scriptures? WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST IS BORN OF GOD: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. (1 John 5:1) 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 3:9) |

2 | You didn't "go on sinning"? | John 3:16 | justme | 65112 | ||
Welldigger: I am appauled, and your note to EdB took my breath away! I am stunned, and offended for EdB! 1 John 1:10 If we clain we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word has no place in our lives." NIV. This is talking to Christians! I have yet to achieve sinless perfection, and haven't met anyone yet that has, while still in this sinfull natured body. Unless you have achived being totally Holy Spirit controled, then you are very unique. I think it shows wisdom not to use a persons name ie. EdB over and over in a note. The Forun attempts to give respect and kindness in dialogue form rather than such chastizement tone. I sincerely hope you hear the kindness, and willingness to be open and frank with you about my feelings, I speak for no one else. I think respect is a key, when someone says like Searcher56, suggests STOP you might heed his suggestion. God bless. justme |

3 | Notice the past tense used | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65132 | ||
Think about what that verse says justme, "If we claim we have not sinned". See how it's stated in past tense. God says to repent, or turn from sin. If someone truly obeys Him, all they will have is past sins. They will have sin, but just past sin, covered by the sacrifice of Jesus. Praise God!!! :) By the way, I understand your point about being so frank with these posts, but I must tell you something justme. In the past, I was believing similarly to many of the people I have corresponded with on this site. Then, awhile back, God showed me many things in the scriptures, and showed me that what I was believing was a lie and not in agreement with the scriptures. Of course I was shocked! But He showed me in the scriptures what the truth was, so I believed Him. Then He told me to share that with anyone who is willing to allow Him to show them. So, that's what I'm doing. He asked me these same questions and tells us all to ask ourselves these questions: SINCE YE SEEK A PROOF OF CHRIST SPEAKING IN ME, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN ***THE FAITH*** [[not A faith, but THE faith]]; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (2 Corinthians 13:3-5) COME NOW, AND LET US REASON TOGETHER, SAITH THE LORD: [[not you and I to reason together, but for each of us to reason with HIM – in His scriptures]] though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. IF YE BE WILLING AND OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: But IF YE REFUSE AND REBEL, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. (Isaiah 1:18-20) |

Dear welldigger; Thank you for your post, especially the comment in which you stated: ". In the past, I was believing similarly to many of the people I have corresponded with on this site. Then, awhile back, God showed me many things in the scriptures, and showed me that what I was believing was a lie and not in agreement with the scriptures. Of course I was shocked! But He showed me in the scriptures what the truth was, so I believed Him. Then He told me to share that with anyone who is willing to allow Him to show them. So, that's what I'm doing." I really appreciate anyone who compares what men say the Bible means, with what the Bible actually says. Many sincere men have led many away with unscriptural doctrine in the past, and even more in these days. Too many people today view the Bible through the eyes of certain theologians, or preachers. But thank God, He has given us His Holy Spirit to indwell us, and to help us to discern truth from error. Blessings |
