1 | Does sin prove one is not a believer? | 1 Cor 6:9 | David24597 | 157894 | ||
Mark 3:28 Lev. 16:21, 30, 34 Ps. 25:18 Ps. 51:9 Isa. 38:17 Ezek. 18:21 Micah 7:19 1 Pet. 4:8 1 John 1:9 Matt. 12:31 Are you saying sins that dont even exist can be forgiven? Jesus died to forgive something that doesnt exist? Jesus died on the cross to make it possible for His people to become saved. Sins are not fogiven until they are confessed and forsaken. Jesus death on the cross did not grant forgiveness from sins that 1- hadnt been committed yet and 2- havent been repented of yet. In order for any sin to be forgiven it has to have been done first then repented of. Dont misunderstand me, Im not saying you should commit a sin just so you can confess it and gain repentance. There is no excuse for commiting any sins. They should be avoided at all costs. If we should slip and sin though, we have the option of repenting. If we dont repent than we obviously are not saved. |

2 | Does sin prove one is not a believer? | 1 Cor 6:9 | kalos | 157908 | ||
You write: "Jesus death on the cross did not grant forgiveness from sins that 1- hadnt been committed yet..." Are you saying that Jesus's blood...correction: You ARE saying Jesus' blood is not sufficient for all sin, but only the sin(s) that had been committed up until the moment he died on the cross. So everyone born after the Crucifixion is on their own and they have to find some other way -- other than the blood of Christ -- to make atonement for sins. ******************** 'If you never admit when you are wrong, you will not be able to convince anyone in a discussion of your position. You will simply lose the respect of the one with whom you are debating' (www.carm.org/atheism/ christianmistakes.htm) |

Kalos you wrote "You ARE saying Jesus' blood is not sufficient for all sin, but only the sin(s) that had been committed up until the moment he died on the cross. So everyone born after the Crucifixion is on their own and they have to find some other way -- other than the blood of Christ -- to make atonement for sins." I haven't said that at all. Please read my posts a little more thoroughly. When I say "sins done in the future" I mean those commited after this point in time we call "now" NOT any sin done after the death of Jesus. To say that "those sins we will do at some point in time in the future are already forgiven" implies that we need to be forgiven for something we haven't even done yet. In which case those who are not saved are already guilty of things they haven't even done yet. God is the God of justice as well as the God of love. Where is the justice of condeming someone for something they haven't done yet? May not even do when the time comes? What has happened to freedom of choice now? The saved cannot choose to fall nor can anyone (saved or not) choose not to commit sins they are fated to do? |

You say: "God is the God of justice as well as the God of love. Where is the justice of condeming someone for something they haven't done yet? May not even do when the time comes? What has happened to freedom of choice now?" I'd have to ask; what happened to an all knowing God? There isn't any "may not" with God. He knows the sins that will be committed and in Christ we have forgiveness for those. It's not that difficult. WOS |
