Subject: Will sin enter heaven? |
Bible Note: Hello, First of all I would like to biblically define what sin is. 1 John 3:4 tells us: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth the law, for sin is the transgression of the law." I only use KJV. If sin is the transgression of the law, well the first question would be which law? In 2 John 5-6 we read that it was the commandment that we have heard from the beginning. . . Also we are told in Revelation, the last book, to keep the commandments of GOD. Rev. 14:12 and 12:17 and 22:14. We are to obey the law, Jesus stated "If you love me keep my commandments" John 14:15 Jesus also tells us in Matthew 19:18 to obey the commandments. James equates the commandments with the royal law in chapter 2:8-12 he also calls it the law of liberty. I could quote verses like these all night. To say that we are not to obey the law is doing what Jesus tells us about in Matthew 5:19. You might want to really pray about whether or not to obey God or man, and whoever tells you wou do not have to obey God I would run away from that person or commentary, and snuggle up to the Word of God. I have given you a couple of verses that tell us we have to obey the commandments. Please show me one that tells us we do not have to. God Bless you Jeff W |
