1 | Absolutely perfect? | Deut 32:22 | CDBJ | 18481 | ||
Lanny, are you saying that you have no sin? Give I JOHN 1:8 a good hard look before you answer this. If your answer is yes, why did God have John pen verse 1:9? You are a new creation in Christ if you trust in Jesus you receive a new nature but the old one is still in existence till the day you die physically. The apostle Paul didn't even have a walk that was sinless, are you saying in effect that you are doing better then the apostle Paul, I am just curious | ||||||

Hi Joe, About verse 8- I did not say that I had no sin. Verse 9- I did confess my sins and he did forgive me. verse 10- If I had of said that I had no no sin prior to confessing then I would have accused him of being a liar. How about the next verse. 2:1. My little children, these things I write unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: I think that we both agree that Christ is the only one that has ever lived a sin free life. But when we are born again we are expected to also, not that everyone will or does. But when John was talking here he must have thought that someone was living without sin or else he would have said, "when man sins" instead of "if any man sins". I guess I'm not sure what you were speaking of when you said that Paul didn't even have a walk that was sinless. What did Paul do that was sinful after he was saved? You and I may disagree on this subject but I know that there will be no contention between us, and may God bless you. Lanny |

Well Lanny, for starters I am CDBJ, not Joe, but I know how easy it is to get mixed up; I think we have all done that a few times. You say that you would like to see where Paul sinned after salvation. Try Rom. 7:15 and combine that with James 4:17 and you have it. Take you for example; did you ever drive just a little over the speed limit? Now don't tell me that you have never violated just one traffic law, and you knew it was wrong? James 4:17 will get you every time! Have a nice day, CDBJ P.S. when you called me Joe, what if that would have made me loose my cool? You just put a stumbling block in a brother's way and we are commanded not to do that. Lanny, all believers have sins in their life after salvation. There are sins of omission as well as sin of commission. There are a lot that have thought that they don't sin after salvation, and when they take a nosedive it shocks them so bad, that they are ashamed to continue a close walk with Christ. Pride cometh before a fall, and I say this to you in love. I don't know how long that you have been a believer in Christ and I admire your walk but be careful. I have know the Lord for over 35 years and I would hate to say how many times that I have had to use I John 1:9. The older I get, and the more I learn, the more I have to use I John 1:9 I hope you continue to keep up the close walk, but don't be proud of it, because the Lord hates pride. I hope you take this in the spirit in which it is given and don't feel that I am judging you. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

Hi CDBJ,first of all I'm sorry about the name mix-up. The speeding question always comes up. Yes I have went over the speed limit many times. If we make a mistake while operating a vehicle is it a sin even if there is no intent or motive for speeding. I'm not talking about trying to make a deadline or running late for work. When is a sin and a mistake different, or are they? Is this the worst thing that we have done to make us a sinner? I agree with the verse that you mentioned in James. However in Romans I believe that Paul was giving his testamony in order to wean Jewish belivers from the likeness of the Mosaic Law talking about being in the flesh-carnally minded before they believed. But later in 8:1-2 he speaks of walking in the spirit. All this aside, lets say for time purposes that everyone sins. How much sin is tolerable? What's the cut off point? Can you loose salvation once you've obtained it? Why are we any better off now than we were before we were saved? Will God leave us like this against our will? Are we willing to say that the devil can put us in sin and God cannot deliver us out? What do we do with verses like 1 John 3:1-10, Romans 6:17-18, Hebrews 12:14? I just don't believe that this thing is as wide open as the world thinks that it is, Matthew 7:13-15. I believe that God can deliver us from anything. God is the one that I am proud of. I'm nothing and can be nothing without him. As the song says, I'll never be able to repay him. May God help us all and may God bless you always. Lanny |

There is only one thing that I would like to ask you, but the answer to that must be broken down also. What sin did Jesus Christ not pay for? When and if you come up with one; that is the only sin that can condemn a person. When Jesus was hanging on the cross, God the Father poured out all of the sins of the World on His Son and judged them. Every sin that has ever been committed, past present and future, they were all poured out on Him and judged. Now if that is the case, and it is, then the problem is no longer sin. The main issue now, since Jesus dealt with the sin problem is, what do you think of Jesus the Christ. What will you do with God's Messiah? One either believes in Him or they reject Him. It's that simple or that complicated which ever you choose. Don't confuse sinning after salvation with salvation; it is connected with service not salvation. God said that He will NEVER leave you or forsake you, but He didn't say that you would always be in fellowship with Him. We can't get out of salvation, but we can sure get out of fellowship by grieving or quenching The Spirit, and this we do by sinning. Until a person understands this, it is very hard to grow in Christ. The knowledge that He has freed us to serve cannot be understood by one who is still in bondage to a concept that they can loose their salvation because they are trying so hard just to hang on to it. If anyone has an argument with this it is because they don't see it yet. Please don't argue any of these false concepts with me, I am free and I know it; praise the Lord. I feel real sorry for trapped believers that don't understand this truth. They can argue with me till they are blue in the face, I know what the Lord has revealed to me, and I am telling you it is great! I am resting in the Lord and the power of His Might. I tell you I love all the brothers and sisters in Christ and I respect their views, but some don't know what they are missing. I will close with a verse from Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Come short, is like God giving us a checkbook with a million dollars in it and we don't know how to write a check. CDBJ |
