1 | disciplerami, reconcile with Rom 6:23 | Heb 6:6 | Searcher56 | 75738 | ||
You wrote ... "Do not be ignorant, but understand what is the will of the Lord." "There is no sin, that in a time of weakness" ... where are these verses found? 1 Jo 5:16 says "If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not (leading) to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not (leading) to death. There is (a) sin (leading) to death; I do not say that he should make request for this" (NASB). Leading and a are not in the originial ... Young's Literal Translation says, "If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;" Rom 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." So how to you reconcile these two verses. |

"Do not be ignorant, but understand what is the will of the Lord." - Ephesians 5:17 "There is no sin, that in a time of weakness" ...that is not forgiven. -- this is the finished thought. My point is that Christians, who are walking in the light, who trust in the promises of God and show great faith, will sin and be forgiven instantly. 1 John 1:6ff shows that the blood of Christ continually cleanses the sins away of the person WALKING in the light. The cleansing is contingent upon walking and staying in the light. Among Christians, there is a sin that IS NOT unto death and there is a sin that IS unto death. The person who sins without remorse, without repentance in his heart, is committing sin unto death. The brother who sins, who hates the sin he commits, is forgiven and we should pray for such a one (1 John 5:16) |

3 | disciplerami, forgiven instantly? | Heb 6:6 | Searcher56 | 75757 | ||
But, how do you reconcile Romans 6:23 with 1 John 5:16? Why do you keep including "a" to sin ... when the orginial does not? Do you think "there is sin to death" -is unseen? -is by someone who has never been saved? Does 1 John 1:9 say we must confess our sins to be forgiven? If so, how are we "forgiven instantly" |

Oops, posted in wrong place. Searcher, You aren't trying to understand. "If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not (leading) to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not (leading) to death. There is (a) sin (leading) to death..." The implication is that a christian brother can commit sin, either to death or not. If he is commiting the sin unto death, the one seeing it is not to pray for him (because God won't forgive): there is no point in praying for the unrepentant. Reconcile Romans 6:23 and 1 John 5:16. Sin brings death, except the sin that is committed while one walks in the light: this sin is forgiven immediately. But the Christian must, once aware of his sin, have a repentant heart that confesses unto God--as David did in Psalm 51. By repentance and confession, you demonstrate to God that you don't take his gift lightly. Attitude counts for a lot. That's the primary difference between sin that is unto death and sin NOT unto death. |
