BradK Thanks for the response. I am a new believer an I guess I am a little confused over what was written and what "Ocelot" said. He said, "David was referred to as “a man after God’s own heart.” Yet he committed adultery and topped it off with murder. I’m not justifying those things, but I’m saying that God can forgive those sins. And He WILL, if you CONFESS them." So I hope you can see how I was confused. I was just saved a 2 weeks ago. I agree with you, and my pastor showed me in the bible just as you have said. So, my question is, and pardon me if this sounds really stupid, but I know my sins were forgiven by God through Christ's death on the cross, Colossians 1:14. Am I forgiveness of my sins only until we got saved, and then I have different rules to follow now that I am saved or do the same rules apply as when I got saved? I was told the rules are the same. I'm trying to read and understand as much as possible about this, but most people seem to contradict each other. I just want to believe what the bible says, and Pastor says to pray that God gives me understanding before I start to read it and I do pray this prayer. Is this other stuff that is being said in another part of the bible, I haven't read yet? I mean, I'm not perfect and I still have some addictions, but I was told and read in the bible that all this was forgiven once I accept Christ as my Savior. Am I reading and hearing this properly?

BradK So it is possible that Ocelot was incorrect when he wrote the following in a previous post.... David was referred to as “a man after God’s own heart.” Yet he committed adultery and topped it off with murder. I’m not justifying those things, but I’m saying that God can forgive those sins. And He WILL, if you CONFESS them. If what I am interpreting is correctly, HE has already forgiven all of my sins when I received Christ. So what is Ocelot talking about???? I was told that 1 John 1:9 was a salvation passage, not intended for the saved person. Is this correct? It would make sense, other wise it wouldn't be as you said, you know, with the finality of the cross and God forgiving all my sins. Sam |

Ocelot, Can you more positively state your view with additional Scripture, or is this kind of your own thoughts with no other proof then 1 verse. I was told I was to interpret bible with bible. I am interested in your views. Sam |

Ocelot, Thanks for the response, from talking with others outside of this forum, you are not the only one with your views. Here is where I am having difficulties in all of this. As I said, I am very young in the LORD and am looking to do the right thing and follow HIS word. Here are my questions. 1) You said "As for all the finality mentioned by BradK in those verses, I don’t have a problem with them at all. I believe that Christ DID make the FINAL sacrifice. He paid it ALL. We pay NOTHING. All we do is accept the grace that God offers to us free of charge." If he paid it all, and forgave me for ALL of my sins, then why do I have to ask forgiveness for what has already been forgiven? 2) Is a sinless life here on earth, whle living in this human body, obtainable? 3) In 1 Corinthians 15:50, it says "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." If our sins are forgiven and we are seen as perfect and reconciled to GOD, in can't be our flesh that was reconciled, the two natures warring against one another thing, why are we so worried about confessing every sin to GOD, and am I going to go to hell if I forget to comfess one? Thanks, Sam |
