Bible Note: "first john 1:9 is one of the most quoted scriptures in the new testament. i believe it is because there is no other one to support it." I'm sorry, but your assertion does not make any sense. Logically, how does it follow that *there is no other Scripture to support it; therefore, it is one of the most quoted Scriptures in the New Testament*. I fail to see any connection between the two statements. ------------- 1 John 1:9 (ESV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. First of all, what *doctrine* are you referring to in 1 John 1:9? Simply put, the principle in this verse is that forgiveness and cleansing from God follow confession of sin. What part of this verse do you not agree with? "is there a supporting new testament scripture to support 1 john 1:9" My answer: (1) Is there a NT scripture that disproves or contradicts 1 John 1:9? (2) The OT is Scripture, too, along with the NT. Psalm 32:5 (ESV) I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah In this verse forgiveness follows confession. Proverbs 28:13 (ESV) Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Again, "he who confesses and forsakes them (his transgressions) will obtain mercy (forgiveness)." Forgiveness (mercy) follows confession of transgressions (sin). ------------ "don't you need two scriptures to support a doctrine?" Where do you find this idea plainly stated in Scripture? I am somewhat familiar with basic principles of interpretation, including that of analogia scriptura and taking a passage at face value. But I have never heard of the principle that you need two Scriptures to support a doctrine. All Scripture is inspired of God (God-breathed). And if God says something once, that is good enough for me. |
