1 | Why this is not taught? | 1 John 3:9 | M. J. Head | 144979 | ||
Hello Mark; That is good. I would like to know if you have some thoughts on why nearly all commentators and most pasters do not teach this aspect of the new birth? Actually, I believe it would be safe to say that the new birth itself is not taught today as it should be MJH |

2 | No real life for a fetus? | 1 John 3:9 | M. J. Head | 144829 | ||
Hello, CDBJ; Thanks for your response. According to your response, an aborted "fetus" was not real soul life! Would this be a correct interpretation of your statement? M. J. Head |

3 | Why so many different interpretations? | 1 John 3:9 | M. J. Head | 144314 | ||
Hello Paster Glenn; I agree with you. That which is fathered by God is not capable of sin, otherwise it would seem that Christ died in vain! All commentaries that I can find on this verse and 1John 5;18 interpret it as "not continueing in sin". I also agree with that , but this verse is stating something far deeper than that. Why do you think that almost all bible scolars avoid saying that the verses teach that the new born one is incapable of sin? Are they afraid of being accused of teaching sinless perfection? I came to understand this doctrine some years ago and it was a very liberating thing to understand. It relieved me of guilt and confusion about sin in my life. This along with Rom. 7 is a very vital but very neglected teaching in the church today. M. J. Head |

4 | Is the "new man" sinless? | 1 John 3:9 | M. J. Head | 144301 | ||
This verse along with several others(1 Pet. 1:23; Eph 4:24, 2:10) and others seem to indicate that the "New Man" is a new creation born of God. If this is so , then , my question is, how could that which is born of God be even capable of sin? I am not advocating sinless perfection. 1 John 1 establishes the falsehood of that. |
