Bible Note: Hi, Steve! (Part 1 of 2) We either accept all Scripture or we don't! We are either obedient to Christ or we transcend (place ourselves above) Scripture! There are those who claim to be "Christians" and allege that their "born-again" or "saved" status grants them the power to trample God by forcing Him to accept them with all the sins they desire to practice and teach others to practice! (I am not just talking about the various reconstruction of Scripture held by some of the congregations that promote homosexuality, abortion, pray-to-wealth, etc...) Scripture is clear!: 1 John 1:9 New International Version (NIV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. New American Standard Bible (NASB) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Amplified Bible (AMP) If we (freely) admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins (dismiss our lawlessness) and (continuously) cleanse us from all unrighteousness (everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action). New Living Translation (NLT) But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. King James Version (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. English Standard Version (ESV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Contemporary English Version (CEV) But if we confess our sins to God, he can always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away. New King James Version (NKJV) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. American Standard Version (ASV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Worldwide English (New Testament) (WE) Let us tell God about our wrong ways. God can be trusted. He does what is right. He will forgive us for the wrong things we have done. He will make us clean from all that was wrong. Young's Literal Translation (YLT) if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness; Darby Translation (DARBY) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us [our] sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. New International Reader's Version (NIRV) But God is faithful and fair. If we admit that we have sinned, he will forgive us our sins. He will forgive every wrong thing we have done. He will make us pure. New International Version - UK (NIV-UK) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Now, either all of these translations are wrong, for they all acknowledge that we must confess our sins to God--with the exception of four which use liberal language to imply our direct communication of our transgressions... again, either all of these translations are wrong or we are subject to confessing our transgressions to God even after being "born-again" or "saved!" Jesus clearly warns that we are to be totally dependent on Him, that without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5); He calls us not to be wearing a badge or claiming a clause or two which purportedly grants us free and clear entrance to Heaven… Jesus calls us to emulate Him to abide in Him! (John 14:21; 15:7-10;) If we choose to live a life of sin and claim to be clean, we are liars and we make God a liar! (1 John 1:10 thru 2:6) |
