Subject: God forgive no matter what |
Bible Note: you stated: "it is not our confession of sin that avails us of forgiveness" even that statement is in disagreement of the conditional promise of 1 John 1:9 Once again in that verse it plainly states: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. the word "IF" in this verse is a conditional word. It also carries with it the negative possible choice of the individual, which would be "If you don't confess your sins" then there remains no promise of forgiveness. How much plainer can a verse be. This verse as is the entire epistle of 1 John is written to the church not to the unchurched. If you feel you need not confess your future sins you committ thats your perogitive. As for me I will confess my sins on a daily basis as the ministry of the Holy Spirit convicts me of them so I can continual in fellowship with Him. This is going around in circles so I will respectfully agree to disagree with you on this. |
