41 | Does sin prove one is not a believer? | 1 Cor 6:9 | David24597 | 157912 | ||
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? |

What difinitive evidence do you have from scripture alone that states the saved can not fall again into a state of being "unsaved" (for lack of a better word). Where is the scriptural proof that plainly states that once saved you are always saved and can never fall from grace again? Please refrain from quotes from other humans or human supposition. I'm asking for scripture references only and not vague references that require redefinition to prove your theories. |

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. |

I would have to agree with Doc. The only difference between a believer and non-believer is the saving grace through the blood of Jesus. Even a non-believer can take steps to better himself but without the saving grace of God it is of no use. God does in fact show us where we fall short (sometimes through chastening us) in the hopes that we will grow out of it. That choice of growth is ours | ||||||

1 John 2:24 "If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye shall also continue in the Son, and in the Father." That word "continue" seems to me to denote a perpetual growth towards perfection just from the way the text is worded if nothing else. Are we not commanded to grow into all righteousness? Ps. 92:12. Mal. 4:2. Eph. 4:15. 1 Peter 2:2. 2 Peter 3:18 |

Hi BradK Simple question: Can something that does not exist be forgiven? Do sins in the future even exist yet? All sins that exist can be forgiven (with the exception of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. But that's another subject anyway). Sins in the future have not been commited yet therefore do not exist yet. The text in Col 2:13 "all trespasses", i.e. "all sins", are obviously all sins in existence. These can be none other than sins of the past. The true believer (born again saved or whatever you want to call it) must remain obedient to remain saved. Consider the entire chapter of Rom 6 below. Pay attention to the parts I have capitalized. Rom. 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6:2 God forbid. HOW SHALL WE, THAT ARE DEAD TO SIN, LIVE ANY LONGER THEREIN? Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so WE ALSO SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE. Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Rom 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Rom 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Rom 6:11 Likewise RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6:12 LET NOT SIN THEREFORE REIGN IN YOUR MORTAL BODY, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Rom 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Rom 6:16 KNOW YE NOT, THAT TO WHOM YE YIELD YOURSELVES SERVANTS TO OBEY, HIS SERVANTS YE ARE TO WHOM YE OBEY; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Rom 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Rom 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. Rom 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. Rom 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. Rom 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. You said "Are we then saved by grace but kept by works? You are advocating conditional forgiveness my friend, if I understand you correctly:-)" Do you know how many times the word "If" is in the Bible? 1,420 times in the KJV Are you saying that you can continue in (or renew) disobedience to God and still be saved? Don't even the saved have a free will? Can they not choose? |

48 | Does sin prove one is not a believer? | 1 Cor 6:9 | David24597 | 157824 | ||
One more thought here. (There should be an "edit" button - anyway I'll post one more thing). Rom. 3:25 specifies it is the sins of the past that are forgiven. Sins in the future dont exist yet. Once a sin is committed it should be repented of. Then it is a "past" sin and can be forgiven. True repentance also means to stop sinning that particular sin. Not from fear of punishment but because you are truly sorry for doing it. Sins continually comitted (even if you ask God to forgive you) will not be forgiven until you stop doing that sin. "We are saved by grace..." That grace reaches us through faith. "We are saved by grace through faith..." Yet faith without works is dead. Our faith is made perfect through our works, and by our works is our faith shown to others (James chapter 2). |

We are saved by grace. It is a gift from God. There is nothing we can do to gain this grace for ourselves. However that does not mean that we cannot chose to again seperate ourselves from God thorugh our unrepented evil deeds. If you wish to remain saved then you must "continue" in Him.

51 | DOES IT SAY THAT JESUS IS EQUAL TO GOD? | Bible general Archive 3 | David24597 | 157773 | ||
The Gospel of John chapter 1 states that Jesus created all things and that He, Himself, is God. The Word was God... the Word was made flesh... He was in the world and the world was made by him.. etc. I John 5:7 states there are 3 - the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost. Don't forget in Gen. God said, "Let US make man in OUR image after OUR likeness." The word "Elohim" (did I spell that right) in the original Hebrew is plural. As a family is one unit comprised of seperate individuals, So the "Godhead" is 1 unit made up of 3 Creators. |
