Adam insists he is perfect and sinless. Sadly Adam has allowed himself to be tricked into believing the deception of the historic Perfectionism Heresy.
But Adam isn’t the only one deceived, a Russian lady on this site also thinks she no longer sins.
Although fewer people these days are as easily tricked by this historic heresy as Adam and this nice Russian lady, I believe it’s necessary to begin an exposure of this heresy at its most obvious level.
Later, I will expose Adam’s error’s and the heresy in which he has been deceived and how it overlooks Greek language indicators
Following is an short article l copied and pasted here
In this article, we will be discussing the heresy of sinless perfectionism.
It is impossible to be sinless at any time on our Christian walk of faith. Who could claim to be perfect when we look at what God calls perfection? We are trapped in unreedemed flesh and when we compare ourselves to the perfect Christ we fall flat on our face.
When we look to the holiness of God and what is required of us we are without hope. However, thank God that hope does not come from us. Our hope is in Christ alone.
Jesus taught us to confess our sins daily.
Matthew 6:9-12 “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. ‘Give us this day our daily bread. ‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
When we say that we have no sin we make God a liar.
1 John is a chapter written clearly for believers. When we read 1 John in context, we see that one of the aspects of walking in the light is confessing our sin. When I hear people say that they don’t remember the last time that they sinned and that they are currently living perfectly, that is a lie. We deceive ourselves when we make such claims. Confessing your sins is one of the evidences that you are saved. You can never hide sin in His light.
A person with a genuine relationship with their father is going to confess their faults.
The Holy Spirit is going to convict us of sin and if He’s not, that is evidence of false conversion. If God is not treating you as His child, then that is evidence that you are not His. Having unconfessed sin blocks God from listening to you. It’s dangerous to claim to be without sin.
Psalm 19:12 teaches us to confess even our unknown sins.
One second of an impure ungodly thought is sin. Worry is sin. Not working 100% fully for the Lord at your job is sin. Sin is missing the mark. No one can do what is required. I know I can’t! I fall short daily, but I don’t live in condemnation. I look to Christ and it gives me joy. All I have is Jesus. I’m trusting in His perfection on my behalf. Our sinfulness makes Christ blood on the cross so much more meaningful and precious.
1 John 1:7-10 “but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.”
Psalm 66:18 “If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.”
We are not perfect.
The Bible says to “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” If there is any truth in you, then you are going to admit that you and I are not perfect. “Many are going to say, “why would God command us to do something that we can’t do?” It’s simple, God is the standard and not man. When you start with man you have problems but when you start with God, then you begin to see how holy He is and how desperately you need a Savior.
Everything in this life belongs to Him.
Not one single drop of imperfection shall enter into His presence. All we have is the perfection of Christ. Even as a believer I’ve never been perfect. Am I a new creation? Yes! Do I have new desires for Christ and His Word? Yes! Do I hate sin? Yes! Do I strive for perfection? Yes! Am I living in sin? No, but daily I fall so short just like all believers do.
I can be selfish, I don’t do all things for God’s glory, I don’t pray without ceasing, I get distracted in worship, I’ve never loved God with absolutely everything in me, I worry sometimes, I can be covetous in my mind. Just today I accidentally ran a stop sign. This is a sin because I wasn’t obeying the law. There is always going to be something to confess in prayer. Do you not understand the holiness of God? I don’t believe sinless perfectionists do.
Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
Psalm 143:2 “Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.”
Ecclesiastes 7:20 “Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins.”
Proverbs 20:9 “Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin?”
Psalm 51:5 “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.”
Godly Christians know their sinfulness.
The godliest men in Scripture all had one thing in common. They knew their great need for a Savior. Paul and Peter were close to the light of Christ and when you get closer to the light of Christ you see more sin. Many believers are not getting closer to the light of Christ so they are not seeing their own sinfulness. Paul called himself a “chief of sinners.” He didn’t say I was a chief of sinners. He emphasized his sinfulness because he understood his sinfulness in the light of Christ.
1 Timothy 1:15 “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”
Luke 5:8 “When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”
Romans 7 destroys sinless perfectionism.
In Romans 7 we notice Paul talking about his struggles as a believer. Many people are going to say, “he was talking about his past life,” but that is wrong. Here is why it’s wrong. The Bible says unbelievers are a slave to sin, dead in sin, blinded by Satan, they can’t understand the things of God, they are haters of God, they don’t seek God, etc.
If Paul is talking about his past life why does he desire to do what is good? Verse 19 says, “For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.” Unbelievers don’t desire to do good. They don’t seek after the things of God. In verse 22 he says, “For I delight in the law of God.” Unbelievers don’t delight in God’s law. In fact, when we read Psalm 1:2; Psalm 119:47; and Psalm 119:16 we see that only believers are delighting in God’s law.
In verse 25 Paul reveals the answer to his struggles. “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Christ is how we achieve victory over all sin. In verse 25 Paul then goes on to say, “I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.” This shows that he was referring to his current life.
Nonbelievers do not struggle with sin. Only believers battle with sin. 1 Peter 4:12 “Don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through.” As believers although we are a new creation there is a battle against the flesh. We are trapped in our humanness and now the Spirit is waging war against the flesh.
Romans 7:15-25 “For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. 17 So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.”
Galatians 5:16-17 “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.”
Sinless perfectionism denies sanctification.
Entire sanctification or Christian perfectionism is a damnable heresy. Once someone is justified by faith in Christ, then comes the sanctification process. God is going to conform the believer into the image of His Son. God is going to work in that believer’s life until death.
If sinless perfectionism is true, then there is no reason for God to work in us and it contradicts various Scriptures. Even Paul addressed believers as carnal Christians. I am not saying a believer will remain carnal, which is not true. A believer will grow, but the fact that he calls believers carnal Christians destroys this false doctrine.
1 Corinthians 3:1-3 “But I, (brothers), could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?”
2 Peter 3:18 “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”
Philippians 1:6 “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
Romans 12:1-2 “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
James says, “we all stumble in many ways.”
James 3 is a good chapter to take a look at. In verse 2 it reads, “we all stumble in many ways.” It doesn’t say some, it doesn’t say only unbelievers, it says, “we all.” There are a million ways to stumble before the holiness of God. I sin before I get out of bed. I wake up and I don’t give God the proper glory that is rightfully His.
James 3:8 says, “no human being can tame the tongue.” None! Many people don’t notice how they sin with their mouth. Engaging in gossip, talking about things of the world, complaining, joking in an ungodly way, making a joke at someone’s expense, making a rude comment, telling a half truth, saying a curse word, etc. These all false short of doing all things for God’s glory, loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself.
James 3:2 “We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.”
James 3:8 “but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.”
Psalm 130:3 “LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive?”
All I have is Christ.
The fact of the matter is, Jesus did not come for those who are righteous. He came for sinners Matthew 9:13. Most sinless perfectionists believe you can lose your salvation. As John Macarthur said, “If you could lose your salvation, you would.” We all fall short of God’s standard. Can anyone love God perfectly with everything in them 24/7? I’ve never been able to do this and if you are honest, you have never been able to do this as well.
We always talk about the outward sins, but how about the sins of the heart? Who wants to live like that? “Oh no I accidentally ran a stop sign I lost my salvation.” It really is stupid and it’s a deception from Satan. There are some people that are going to say, “you’re leading people to sin.” Nowhere in this article did I tell someone to sin. I said we struggle with sin. When you become saved you are no longer a slave to sin, dead in sin, and now you have the power to overcome sin. Evidence of your faith in Christ is that you will be new. Your life will reveal a change. You will put off the old life, but once again we are still trapped in our humanness. There is going to be a struggle. There is going to be a battle.
When we see passages such as 1 John 3:8-10; 1 John 3:6; and 1 John 5:18 that say people born of God will not keep on sinning, it’s not saying you won’t ever sin which contradicts the beginning of John. It’s referring to a lifestyle. It’s referring to those who use grace as an excuse to sin. It’s referring to the continual pursuing and practice of sin. Only fake Christians live in willful sin and worldliness. Fake Christians don’t want to change and they are not new creations. They will probably cry because they got caught, but that is it. They have worldly sorrow and not godly sorrow. They don’t seek help.
Believers struggle! There are times when we will weep over our sins. We want to be more for Christ. This is a mark of a genuine believer. Matthew 5:4-6 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
However, for the most part believers can take comfort that we have a Savior, we have a risen King, we have Jesus who fully satisfied God’s wrath on the cross. Instead of looking at yourself look to Christ. What a privilege and what a blessing to know that my salvation is not dependent on me.
I’m trusting in the perfect merit of Jesus Christ and that is enough. Every day when I confess my sins I am more thankful of His blood. As I grow in Christ the Lord’s grace and His blood becomes more and more real. Romans 7:25 NLT “Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.”
1 John 2:1 “My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. (But) if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.”
"It is impossible to be sinless at any time on our Christian walk of faith. Who could claim to be perfect when we look at what God calls perfection? We are trapped in unreedemed flesh and when we compare ourselves to the perfect Christ we fall flat on our face."
REDEEMED ALIVE FROM THE DEAD:
Romans 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.
Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Philippians 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
"One second of an impure ungodly thought is sin. Worry is sin. Not working 100% fully for the Lord at your job is sin. � Sin is missing the mark. No one can do what is required. I know I can’t! I fall short daily, but I don’t live in condemnation. I look to Christ and it gives me joy. All I have is Jesus. I’m trusting in His perfection on my behalf. � Our sinfulness makes Christ blood on the cross so much more meaningful� and precious."
Not looking lustfully for one second is hearing what Christ says instead of what these men say:
Matthew 5:8 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Worry when Christ gives faith to us to fear not in love?
Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Your job is working for God being fishers of men and you cant do your job 100%?
Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Falling short daily still?
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Can we keep the Lords words to not sin by hating your brother and to love your neighbour as yourself? Yes we can keep His right ways. Do we keep His words and sin at the outcome? No it is their nonsense.
Does not say to confess our sins, it shows, KEEP BACK THY SERVANT ALSO FROM PRESUMPTIOUS SINS, AND ALSO FROM SECRET FAULTS, TO BE KEPT BACK FROM THEM ALL, OTHERWISE AGAIN IT I NONSENSE TO BE KEPT BACK FROM SOME SINS,(AND SINS ARE DOING EVIL) AND NOT BE KEPT BACK FROM OTHER SINS? WE NEED TO BE INNOCENT FROM THE GREAT TRANSGRESSION, SO HOW ARE WE INNOCENT BY CONTINUING TO TRANSGRESS IN THAT GREAT TRANSGRESSION? NONSENSE AND IT IS THEIR GREAT EXAMPLE HOW TO CONTINUE IN SIN :)
Psalm 19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
"A person with a genuine relationship with their father is going to confess their faults"
There are two fathers, God and the devil, of course their children confess to their respective father. The confession to their father the devil is what sins they do and how they absolutely hate everyone they work ill against, and how thy excuse it by lying excuses that they are justified to do evil as they are forgiven it. Gods children say the same? Gods children confess to God their own sufferings for His sake, not how they make others suffer for their sake as the devils children do only, they use no excuses for failure to be kind in Gods love, they ask for more grace to help in time of need and do not fall short any more...
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
When you hate your brother by working sin against them and say you love God you are the liar, you also are the liar if you do not confess and forsake your sins of hating your brother working sins against them..
In Context ..First we hear the word to confess sins repent and be born again to not sin, Then keeping HIs word or we lie, then loving your brother or you lie, and as Christ says, if we know Him we keep His sayings, or we are a liar, as the unbelieving and murderers and whoremongers, yes all these non changing sinners all liars have their part in the lake of fire...
1 John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
John 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
"The Bible says to “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” If there is any truth in you, then you are going to admit that you and I are not perfect. “Many are going to say, “why would God command us to do something that we can’t do?” It’s simple, God is the standard and not man."
Admit you cant do as told here in Matthew 5, to bless them who curse you, doing good to them who hate you, knowing God created all this way being equal to all? Do we not want to be the children of God instead of children of the devil? What reward from God if we only do as sinners do, to love those who love them? How do we show we have Christs Holy Spirit within us by doing no more than the wicked? That is to be perfect, just to do well which the deceivers deny we can do through Christs strength..
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
"I can be selfish, I don’t do all things for God’s glory, I don’t pray without ceasing, I get distracted in worship, I’ve never loved God with absolutely everything in me, I worry sometimes, I can be covetous in my mind. Just today I accidentally ran a stop sign. This is a sin because I wasn’t obeying the law. There is always going to be something to confess in prayer. Do you not understand the holiness of God? I don’t believe sinless perfectionists do."
We pray without ceasing as the prayers are done non stop for us by the Spirit of Christ in us crying abba Father..
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
We worship in that same spirit which continues without us always,
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
We do love God with absolutely everything in us:
Luke 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
These scriptures are witness of how people were or how they change nothing and lie above to say they try to do perfectly? Romans 3:10 testifies none had faith, Romans 3:25 testifies now we have faith in His blood
Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;� there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.� All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Now Christ was found worthy to redeem us to God and they with Him are faithful..
Psalm 143:2 “Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
Revelation 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Ecclesiastes 7:20 “Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins.”
Proverbs 20:9� “Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin?
Jesus Christ came to earth and He is the righteous man on earth that was never on earth before to make us righteous in Him..
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
All scripture testifies of the failure of the first covenant that lacked that Spirit of Christ, and all then are concieved in sin. Then we see Christ mentioned from the womb, and by His sword of the Spirit He glorifies God by bringing many sons also to glory:
Psalm 51:5 “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me
Isiah 49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;
3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
Hebrews 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
"The godliest men in Scripture all had one thing in common. They knew their great need for a Savior. Paul and Peter were close to the light of Christ and when you get closer to the light of Christ you see more sin. Many believers are not getting closer to the light of Christ so they are not seeing their own sinfulness. Paul called himself a “chief of sinners.” He didn’t say I was a chief of sinners. He emphasized his sinfulness because he understood his sinfulness in the light of Christ."
1 Timothy 1:15 “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”
Luke 5:8 “When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!
A sinful man, converted by the Holy Ghost remained a sinful man?
Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Apostle Paul magnifies his office as he is the Apostle to the Gentiles, so he speaks for us all and teaches us all.
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Now we see Paul remembers his past when he was the chief of sinners, acknowledging that he obtained mercy to be a pattern of all longsuffering as example to all those who follow in belief to life everlasting, what example is it in these peoples twisted minds to follow example of chief sinners and not those made into Saints?
1 Timothy 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
"Romans 7 destroys sinless perfectionism.
In Romans 7 we notice Paul talking about his struggles as a believer. Many people are going to say, “he was talking about his past life,” but that is wrong. Here is why it’s wrong. The Bible says unbelievers are a slave to sin, dead in sin, blinded by Satan, they can’t understand the things of God, they are haters of God, they don’t seek God, etc.
If Paul is talking about his past life why does he desire to do what is good? Verse 19 says, “For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.” Unbelievers don’t desire to do good. They don’t seek after the things of God. In verse 22 he says, “For I delight in the law of God.” Unbelievers don’t delight in God’s law. In fact, when we read Psalm 1:2; Psalm 119:47; and Psalm 119:16 we see that only believers are delighting in God’s law.
In verse 25 Paul reveals the answer to his struggles. “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Christ is how we achieve victory over all sin. In verse 25 Paul then goes on to say, “I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.” This shows that he was referring to his current life."
The answer is simple, the Jews as Paul is speaking about them in that first covenant, have a zeal of God, they desire to do good but have not that knowledge of how to perform the good as Paul says. Because they are ignorant of Gods righteousness which is giving Christ to die for our sins and blessing us in turning us away from our iniquities, they continue by establishing their own righteousness which even though following the commandment of Gods first covenant is desiring to do good(why else do they follow that righteous law of the first covenant then) but they cant fulfill it without that Spirit of Christ. Confirmed in Psalms, the Hebrews remembered that God was their rock and redeemer, that is delight in him, but their heart also was not right with him, not proper in the covenant, and God forgave them because they did not know how to perform the good as Paul has taught. They sang His praise believing His words, and then.forgot because of lusting as Paul speaks about that you do the evil instead of managing to be able to do the good...
Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Psalm 78:35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
Psalm 106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
Paul continues of the PAST. PAUL WAS ALIVE WITHOUT THE LAW AND THE COMMANDMENT CAME TO SIN NOT, AND HE DIED, AS PAUL IS SPEAKING ABOUT US ALL DYING IN SINS. THE COMMANDMENT TO SIN NOT GAVE DEATH TO US ALL AS WE COULD NOT OBEY IT IN THE FIRST COVENANT. BUT THE LAW IS HOLY AND GOOD. UNABLE TO OBEY THE COMMAND TO SIN NOT AND LOVE OUR NEIGHBOUR, CAUSING DEATH FOR DISOBEDIENCE BY THE GOOD LAW OF GOD, AS THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL BUT MAN IS CARNAL. WE WOULD OBEY GOD BUT CANT FIND THE STRENGTH TO DO IT, (THE JEWS ARE EXAMPLE OF THIS STILL IN ORIGINAL FIRST COVENANT TODAY) WE WOULD RATHER NOT DO THE SINS IN THAT FIRST COVENANT CONSENTING THAT IT IS A GOOD JUST LAW, SIN DWELLING IN US INSTEAD OF THE NEW COVENANT OF GOD DWELLING IN US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND HOW TO PERFORM WE FOUND NOT, DOING EVIL THAT WE WANT TO NOT DO, BRINGING US TO CAPTIVITY TO THE LAW OF SIN IN THE MEMBERS BELONGING TO THAT FIRST FAULTY COVENANT. WRETCHED AND NEEDING TO BE DELIVERED FROM THAT BODY OF DEATH?
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
"Nonbelievers do not struggle with sin. Only believers battle with sin. 1 Peter 4:12 “Don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through.” As believers although we are a new creation there is a battle against the flesh. We are trapped in our humanness and now the Spirit is waging war against the flesh."
Do the Hebrews now still in that first covenant not struggle with sin? They have that zeal to God but no knowledge of Christ and no Holy Spirit to be able to fulfill the law they have in their possession. So it is testified again, if they will turn to the Lord again they can be saved:
Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
"Galatians 5:16-17 “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please"
Deceiver giving one verse, now rest..
WALK IN THE SPIRIT TO NOT STRUGGLE IN THE FLESH WHEN UNABLE TO DO THE THINGS WE WOULD BEING CARNAL IN THE FIRST COVENANT CURSED IS HE WHO CONTINUES NOT IN ALL THE WORDS OF THE LAW TO DO THEM. WE CANNOT DO THE THINGS WE WOULD, AS FLESH AND SPIRIT ARE CONTRARY TO EACH OTHER, WE CAN ONLY BE AND SERVE ONE, THEY WHO DO THOSE WORKS OF THE FLESH WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BUT TEMPERANCE LONGSUFFERING AND LOVE BREAKS NO LAW AND THEY WHO ARE CHRISTS HAVE CRUCIFIED THEIR BODY FLESH WITH ALL AND NY AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS..
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
"If sinless perfectionism is true, then there is no reason for God to work in us and it contradicts various Scriptures. Even Paul addressed believers as carnal Christians. I am not saying a believer will remain carnal, which is not true. A believer will grow, but the fact that he calls believers carnal Christians destroys this false doctrine.
1 Corinthians 3:1-3 “But I, (brothers), could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?”"
if a brother is carnal, or a false brethren, what is the outcome for them? If they defile the temple of God by fornication God will destroy them, how has that got to do with acceptence to sin and not obey God in Holiness? How are the carnal confirmed as true sincere believers by being told they will be destroyed?
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Also to cast out the wicked person who is called a brother ho is a fornicator:
1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Galatians 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
"2 Peter 3:18 “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."
Grow in grace and knowledge AND, filled with all knowledge abounding and even still increasing..
1 Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
2 Peter 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
"Philippians 1:6 “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
The good work that has begun continues to be performed, nothing changed, continued, that ye may be sincere, without offence UNTIL THE DAY OF CHRIST, FILLED WITH FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUNSESS
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Ephesians 6:24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
"James says, “we all stumble in many ways.”
James 3 is a good chapter to take a look at. In verse 2 it reads, “we all stumble in many ways.” It doesn’t say some, it doesn’t say only unbelievers, it says, “we all.” There are a million ways to stumble before the holiness of God. I sin before I get out of bed. I wake up and I don’t give God the proper glory that is rightfully His."
James at 3:17 already confirms the wisdom and Spirit of above is without hypocrisy and full of good fruits and easily full of mercy,
James 3:2 shows that we who speak by an untamed tongue offend in all, not that all speak offensively, the perfect man offends not, as Apostle Paul testifies of himself..Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.
James 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Mans tongue is, iniquity, defiles our whole body, on fire of hell, unruly and full of deadly poisen. (this is the testimony of the deceiver who wrote and posted this deceit of their own selves)
James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
They bless God and curse men, as God testified(Psalm 62:4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. Psalm 28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.)
The fountain can not yield both salt water and fresh, these things ought not to be...
James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Others speak the truth they managed to tame their tongue through Christ:
Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephesians 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
1 Timothy 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
"The fact of the matter is, Jesus did not come for those who are righteous. He came for sinners Matthew 9:13. Most sinless perfectionists believe you can lose your salvation. As John Macarthur said, “If you could lose your salvation, you would.” We all fall short of God’s standard. Can anyone love God perfectly with everything in them 24/7? I’ve never been able to do this and if you are honest, you have never been able to do this as well."
The pharisees were unjust, all their works they did for to be seen and glorified of men, so they have no justice in them to seek the healer Christ, but sinners who repent know they need to be healed of their ill heart, repent of heir sins and be the just made perfect, is what that means, go and learn what that means..
Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
"When we see passages such as 1 John 3:8-10;� 1 John 3:6; and 1 John 5:18 that say people born of God will not keep on sinning, it’s not saying you won’t ever sin which contradicts the beginning of John. It’s referring to a lifestyle. It’s referring to those who use grace as an excuse to sin. It’s referring to the continual pursuing and practice of sin. Only fake Christians live in willful sin and worldliness. Fake Christians don’t want to change and they are not new creations. They will probably cry because they got caught, but that is it. They have worldly sorrow and not godly sorrow. They don’t seek help."
Do born again sin, or born again are told sin not, the beginning of John is the beginning state of a believer, they are believers but are not born again yet, and as told earlier are yet carnal, it is all fairly simple and straight forward..
Now read with me everybody, for your joy to be full, is first described by Christ that His Joy, or His Holy Spirit and Spirit of Love and Spirit of Peace may remain in us, the Spirit remaineth on Christ is witnessed, we need the same Spirit to remain on us, we need Christ to free us from sin as the servant of sin does not abide in the house forever, only the Son abides ever and those He creates free from serving sin at all, His joy has to remain in us, and the fruit of the Holy Spirit is the only that remains, and the new covenant in the blood and Holy Ghost of Christ remains and is glorious, and we SEE, their joy is NOT YET FULL, OR FULFILLED, because John is preaching Christ to them as they are the non born again...
John 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
2 Corinthians 3:11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
1 John 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
The ones who abide in Christ,(remember the servant abideh not ver, the Son abideth ever and needs to make you free from SIN, and they sin not, does not say they might do some sins sometimes, because these have not known the Father and the ones who God begets as that son keep themselves away from the devil and NEVER TOUCHES THEM TO SIN..
1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
"Believers struggle! There are times when we will weep over our sins. We want to be more for Christ. This is a mark of a genuine believer. Matthew 5:4-6 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.� Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.� Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”"
Who weeps? Apostle Paul weeped bewailing many which were sinners and not stopping the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness they still are commiting!
God Himself has His soul weeping for your pride, because you are still captive and in bondage to sin believing the devils false promises instead of these right ways of Holiness in the Lord. But call Him Lord Lord and do not seek to enter straight, and He shall say, depaart from me, all you workers of iniquity(sinners) and it is then you shall really weep and gnash your teeth being thrust out of th kingdom you seek, seeking carefully with tears was never a good way..
2 Corinthians 12:21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
Jeremiah 13:17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord's flock is carried away captive.
Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
Malachi 2:13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
Hebrews 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
Now the true tears:
Psalm 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
The deceivers final thoughts for themselves:
Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on **EVERY WORD FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD**!"
I John 1:6: Whoever claims to live in Him **MUST LIVE AS JESUS DID**!!
John 15:12: Jesus says, "**MY COMMAND** is this: Love each other **AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**!!"
Every born from above saint will try to obey the above two New Covenant commands with all their heart. However, it is obvious that God's saints will fall short of completely obeying the above two commands of God!!!
While Adam7777 claims to be sinless and **PERFECT** it is interesting to note that Adam7777 has **SEPARATED** from his wife and therefore has not been a **PERFECT SINLESS HUSBAND** for God's word states in Matthew 19:5,6: Jesus says, "A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they shall become one flesh, they are no longer two, but one flash. Therefore what God has joined together let no man {Like Adam7777} separate!!"
And so if Adam7777's separated wife is a Christian they are both living continually in sin for we are commanded to forgive our brother or sister or wife in Christ not 7 times but 70 times 7 times! And if Adam7777 married an unsaved woman it is also terrible sin in the NT!!
I John 1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin {Like Adam7777}, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned {Like Adam7777} we make Him out to be a liar and His Word is not in us!
Luke 11:1-4: The **DISCIPLES** asked Jesus, "Lord teach as to pray." Jesus replied **TO HIS DISCIPLES**, "When you pray, say: '**FATHER**, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our **DAILY** bread. **FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us!'"
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man shall live by **EVERY WORD** that comes from the mouth of God!"
James 5:16: **CONFESS YOUR SINS** to each other and pray for each other!!
Psalm 38:18: David said, "I **CONFESS MY SIN**; I am troubled by **MY SIN**!"
Daniel 9:20: Daniel said, "While I was speaking and praying, **CONFESSING MY SIN**!"
Revelation 3:19: Jesus says, "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and **REPENT**!!" {**OF YOUR SINS**!!}
Hebrews 12:5-11: Do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He chastens **EVERYONE** HE ACCEPTS AS A SON**!!! Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His children. For what children are not disciplined by their father {FOR THEIR SINS**}? If you are not disciplined--and everyone undergoes discipline--**THEN YOU ARE NOT LEGITIMATE**, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us{FOR OUR SINS!} and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it!
Since Adam7777 claims that he **NO LONGER SINNED** the moment he was saved; he completely disagrees with the above 3 passages from the inspired Words of God. And since he believes he was completely perfect when he was saved there is no reason for him to want **ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS** for faithful and loving service.
**HOWEVER, GOD'S WORD COMPLETELY DISAGREES WITH HIM**!!
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what they have done!"
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your **REWARD** **IN HEAVEN**!�
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
Luke 11:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a **TREASURE** IN HEAVEN** that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your **TREASURE** is, there your **HEART** will be also!"
CONFESS YOUR SINS TO EACH OTHER IS YOUR FRIEND PROPHETICS THOUGHTS, PROPHETIC AND LITTLEDAVID DON'T DO AS THEY SAY WE SHOULD DO AND GIVE LYING EXCUSES AND YOU ARE FOUND OUT AND ANSWERED IMMEDIATELY ON EVERYTHING, HAVE A NICE DAY IN DECEITLAND
"It is impossible to be sinless at any time on our Christian walk of faith. Who could claim to be perfect when we look at what God calls perfection? We are trapped in unreedemed flesh and when we compare ourselves to the perfect Christ we fall flat on our face."
REDEEMED ALIVE FROM THE DEAD:
Romans 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.
Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Philippians 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
"One second of an impure ungodly thought is sin. Worry is sin. Not working 100% fully for the Lord at your job is sin. � Sin is missing the mark. No one can do what is required. I know I can’t! I fall short daily, but I don’t live in condemnation. I look to Christ and it gives me joy. All I have is Jesus. I’m trusting in His perfection on my behalf. � Our sinfulness makes Christ blood on the cross so much more meaningful� and precious."
Not looking lustfully for one second is hearing what Christ says instead of what these men say:
Matthew 5:8 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Worry when Christ gives faith to us to fear not in love?
Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Your job is working for God being fishers of men and you cant do your job 100%?
Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Falling short daily still?
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Can we keep the Lords words to not sin by hating your brother and to love your neighbour as yourself? Yes we can keep His right ways. Do we keep His words and sin at the outcome? No it is their nonsense.
Does not say to confess our sins, it shows, KEEP BACK THY SERVANT ALSO FROM PRESUMPTIOUS SINS, AND ALSO FROM SECRET FAULTS, TO BE KEPT BACK FROM THEM ALL, OTHERWISE AGAIN IT I NONSENSE TO BE KEPT BACK FROM SOME SINS,(AND SINS ARE DOING EVIL) AND NOT BE KEPT BACK FROM OTHER SINS? WE NEED TO BE INNOCENT FROM THE GREAT TRANSGRESSION, SO HOW ARE WE INNOCENT BY CONTINUING TO TRANSGRESS IN THAT GREAT TRANSGRESSION? NONSENSE AND IT IS THEIR GREAT EXAMPLE HOW TO CONTINUE IN SIN :)
Psalm 19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
"A person with a genuine relationship with their father is going to confess their faults"
There are two fathers, God and the devil, of course their children confess to their respective father. The confession to their father the devil is what sins they do and how they absolutely hate everyone they work ill against, and how thy excuse it by lying excuses that they are justified to do evil as they are forgiven it. Gods children say the same? Gods children confess to God their own sufferings for His sake, not how they make others suffer for their sake as the devils children do only, they use no excuses for failure to be kind in Gods love, they ask for more grace to help in time of need and do not fall short any more...
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
When you hate your brother by working sin against them and say you love God you are the liar, you also are the liar if you do not confess and forsake your sins of hating your brother working sins against them..
In Context ..First we hear the word to confess sins repent and be born again to not sin, Then keeping HIs word or we lie, then loving your brother or you lie, and as Christ says, if we know Him we keep His sayings, or we are a liar, as the unbelieving and murderers and whoremongers, yes all these non changing sinners all liars have their part in the lake of fire...
1 John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
John 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
"The Bible says to “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” If there is any truth in you, then you are going to admit that you and I are not perfect. “Many are going to say, “why would God command us to do something that we can’t do?” It’s simple, God is the standard and not man."
Admit you cant do as told here in Matthew 5, to bless them who curse you, doing good to them who hate you, knowing God created all this way being equal to all? Do we not want to be the children of God instead of children of the devil? What reward from God if we only do as sinners do, to love those who love them? How do we show we have Christs Holy Spirit within us by doing no more than the wicked? That is to be perfect, just to do well which the deceivers deny we can do through Christs strength..
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
"I can be selfish, I don’t do all things for God’s glory, I don’t pray without ceasing, I get distracted in worship, I’ve never loved God with absolutely everything in me, I worry sometimes, I can be covetous in my mind. Just today I accidentally ran a stop sign. This is a sin because I wasn’t obeying the law. There is always going to be something to confess in prayer. Do you not understand the holiness of God? I don’t believe sinless perfectionists do."
We pray without ceasing as the prayers are done non stop for us by the Spirit of Christ in us crying abba Father..
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
We worship in that same spirit which continues without us always,
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
We do love God with absolutely everything in us:
Luke 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
These scriptures are witness of how people were or how they change nothing and lie above to say they try to do perfectly? Romans 3:10 testifies none had faith, Romans 3:25 testifies now we have faith in His blood
Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;� there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.� All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Now Christ was found worthy to redeem us to God and they with Him are faithful..
Psalm 143:2 “Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
Revelation 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Ecclesiastes 7:20 “Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins.”
Proverbs 20:9� “Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin?
Jesus Christ came to earth and He is the righteous man on earth that was never on earth before to make us righteous in Him..
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
All scripture testifies of the failure of the first covenant that lacked that Spirit of Christ, and all then are concieved in sin. Then we see Christ mentioned from the womb, and by His sword of the Spirit He glorifies God by bringing many sons also to glory:
Psalm 51:5 “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me
Isiah 49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;
3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
Hebrews 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
"The godliest men in Scripture all had one thing in common. They knew their great need for a Savior. Paul and Peter were close to the light of Christ and when you get closer to the light of Christ you see more sin. Many believers are not getting closer to the light of Christ so they are not seeing their own sinfulness. Paul called himself a “chief of sinners.” He didn’t say I was a chief of sinners. He emphasized his sinfulness because he understood his sinfulness in the light of Christ."
1 Timothy 1:15 “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”
Luke 5:8 “When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!
A sinful man, converted by the Holy Ghost remained a sinful man?
Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Apostle Paul magnifies his office as he is the Apostle to the Gentiles, so he speaks for us all and teaches us all.
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Now we see Paul remembers his past when he was the chief of sinners, acknowledging that he obtained mercy to be a pattern of all longsuffering as example to all those who follow in belief to life everlasting, what example is it in these peoples twisted minds to follow example of chief sinners and not those made into Saints?
1 Timothy 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
"Romans 7 destroys sinless perfectionism.
In Romans 7 we notice Paul talking about his struggles as a believer. Many people are going to say, “he was talking about his past life,” but that is wrong. Here is why it’s wrong. The Bible says unbelievers are a slave to sin, dead in sin, blinded by Satan, they can’t understand the things of God, they are haters of God, they don’t seek God, etc.
If Paul is talking about his past life why does he desire to do what is good? Verse 19 says, “For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.” Unbelievers don’t desire to do good. They don’t seek after the things of God. In verse 22 he says, “For I delight in the law of God.” Unbelievers don’t delight in God’s law. In fact, when we read Psalm 1:2; Psalm 119:47; and Psalm 119:16 we see that only believers are delighting in God’s law.
In verse 25 Paul reveals the answer to his struggles. “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Christ is how we achieve victory over all sin. In verse 25 Paul then goes on to say, “I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.” This shows that he was referring to his current life."
The answer is simple, the Jews as Paul is speaking about them in that first covenant, have a zeal of God, they desire to do good but have not that knowledge of how to perform the good as Paul says. Because they are ignorant of Gods righteousness which is giving Christ to die for our sins and blessing us in turning us away from our iniquities, they continue by establishing their own righteousness which even though following the commandment of Gods first covenant is desiring to do good(why else do they follow that righteous law of the first covenant then) but they cant fulfill it without that Spirit of Christ. Confirmed in Psalms, the Hebrews remembered that God was their rock and redeemer, that is delight in him, but their heart also was not right with him, not proper in the covenant, and God forgave them because they did not know how to perform the good as Paul has taught. They sang His praise believing His words, and then.forgot because of lusting as Paul speaks about that you do the evil instead of managing to be able to do the good...
Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Psalm 78:35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
Psalm 106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
Paul continues of the PAST. PAUL WAS ALIVE WITHOUT THE LAW AND THE COMMANDMENT CAME TO SIN NOT, AND HE DIED, AS PAUL IS SPEAKING ABOUT US ALL DYING IN SINS. THE COMMANDMENT TO SIN NOT GAVE DEATH TO US ALL AS WE COULD NOT OBEY IT IN THE FIRST COVENANT. BUT THE LAW IS HOLY AND GOOD. UNABLE TO OBEY THE COMMAND TO SIN NOT AND LOVE OUR NEIGHBOUR, CAUSING DEATH FOR DISOBEDIENCE BY THE GOOD LAW OF GOD, AS THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL BUT MAN IS CARNAL. WE WOULD OBEY GOD BUT CANT FIND THE STRENGTH TO DO IT, (THE JEWS ARE EXAMPLE OF THIS STILL IN ORIGINAL FIRST COVENANT TODAY) WE WOULD RATHER NOT DO THE SINS IN THAT FIRST COVENANT CONSENTING THAT IT IS A GOOD JUST LAW, SIN DWELLING IN US INSTEAD OF THE NEW COVENANT OF GOD DWELLING IN US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND HOW TO PERFORM WE FOUND NOT, DOING EVIL THAT WE WANT TO NOT DO, BRINGING US TO CAPTIVITY TO THE LAW OF SIN IN THE MEMBERS BELONGING TO THAT FIRST FAULTY COVENANT. WRETCHED AND NEEDING TO BE DELIVERED FROM THAT BODY OF DEATH?
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
"Nonbelievers do not struggle with sin. Only believers battle with sin. 1 Peter 4:12 “Don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through.” As believers although we are a new creation there is a battle against the flesh. We are trapped in our humanness and now the Spirit is waging war against the flesh."
Do the Hebrews now still in that first covenant not struggle with sin? They have that zeal to God but no knowledge of Christ and no Holy Spirit to be able to fulfill the law they have in their possession. So it is testified again, if they will turn to the Lord again they can be saved:
Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
"Galatians 5:16-17 “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please"
Deceiver giving one verse, now rest..
WALK IN THE SPIRIT TO NOT STRUGGLE IN THE FLESH WHEN UNABLE TO DO THE THINGS WE WOULD BEING CARNAL IN THE FIRST COVENANT CURSED IS HE WHO CONTINUES NOT IN ALL THE WORDS OF THE LAW TO DO THEM. WE CANNOT DO THE THINGS WE WOULD, AS FLESH AND SPIRIT ARE CONTRARY TO EACH OTHER, WE CAN ONLY BE AND SERVE ONE, THEY WHO DO THOSE WORKS OF THE FLESH WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BUT TEMPERANCE LONGSUFFERING AND LOVE BREAKS NO LAW AND THEY WHO ARE CHRISTS HAVE CRUCIFIED THEIR BODY FLESH WITH ALL AND NY AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS..
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
"If sinless perfectionism is true, then there is no reason for God to work in us and it contradicts various Scriptures. Even Paul addressed believers as carnal Christians. I am not saying a believer will remain carnal, which is not true. A believer will grow, but the fact that he calls believers carnal Christians destroys this false doctrine.
1 Corinthians 3:1-3 “But I, (brothers), could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?”"
if a brother is carnal, or a false brethren, what is the outcome for them? If they defile the temple of God by fornication God will destroy them, how has that got to do with acceptence to sin and not obey God in Holiness? How are the carnal confirmed as true sincere believers by being told they will be destroyed?
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Also to cast out the wicked person who is called a brother ho is a fornicator:
1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Galatians 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
"2 Peter 3:18 “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."
Grow in grace and knowledge AND, filled with all knowledge abounding and even still increasing..
1 Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
2 Peter 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
"Philippians 1:6 “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
The good work that has begun continues to be performed, nothing changed, continued, that ye may be sincere, without offence UNTIL THE DAY OF CHRIST, FILLED WITH FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUNSESS
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Ephesians 6:24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
"James says, “we all stumble in many ways.”
James 3 is a good chapter to take a look at. In verse 2 it reads, “we all stumble in many ways.” It doesn’t say some, it doesn’t say only unbelievers, it says, “we all.” There are a million ways to stumble before the holiness of God. I sin before I get out of bed. I wake up and I don’t give God the proper glory that is rightfully His."
James at 3:17 already confirms the wisdom and Spirit of above is without hypocrisy and full of good fruits and easily full of mercy,
James 3:2 shows that we who speak by an untamed tongue offend in all, not that all speak offensively, the perfect man offends not, as Apostle Paul testifies of himself..Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.
James 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Mans tongue is, iniquity, defiles our whole body, on fire of hell, unruly and full of deadly poisen. (this is the testimony of the deceiver who wrote and posted this deceit of their own selves)
James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
They bless God and curse men, as God testified(Psalm 62:4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. Psalm 28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.)
The fountain can not yield both salt water and fresh, these things ought not to be...
James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Others speak the truth they managed to tame their tongue through Christ:
Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephesians 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
1 Timothy 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
"The fact of the matter is, Jesus did not come for those who are righteous. He came for sinners Matthew 9:13. Most sinless perfectionists believe you can lose your salvation. As John Macarthur said, “If you could lose your salvation, you would.” We all fall short of God’s standard. Can anyone love God perfectly with everything in them 24/7? I’ve never been able to do this and if you are honest, you have never been able to do this as well."
The pharisees were unjust, all their works they did for to be seen and glorified of men, so they have no justice in them to seek the healer Christ, but sinners who repent know they need to be healed of their ill heart, repent of heir sins and be the just made perfect, is what that means, go and learn what that means..
Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
"When we see passages such as 1 John 3:8-10;� 1 John 3:6; and 1 John 5:18 that say people born of God will not keep on sinning, it’s not saying you won’t ever sin which contradicts the beginning of John. It’s referring to a lifestyle. It’s referring to those who use grace as an excuse to sin. It’s referring to the continual pursuing and practice of sin. Only fake Christians live in willful sin and worldliness. Fake Christians don’t want to change and they are not new creations. They will probably cry because they got caught, but that is it. They have worldly sorrow and not godly sorrow. They don’t seek help."
Do born again sin, or born again are told sin not, the beginning of John is the beginning state of a believer, they are believers but are not born again yet, and as told earlier are yet carnal, it is all fairly simple and straight forward..
Now read with me everybody, for your joy to be full, is first described by Christ that His Joy, or His Holy Spirit and Spirit of Love and Spirit of Peace may remain in us, the Spirit remaineth on Christ is witnessed, we need the same Spirit to remain on us, we need Christ to free us from sin as the servant of sin does not abide in the house forever, only the Son abides ever and those He creates free from serving sin at all, His joy has to remain in us, and the fruit of the Holy Spirit is the only that remains, and the new covenant in the blood and Holy Ghost of Christ remains and is glorious, and we SEE, their joy is NOT YET FULL, OR FULFILLED, because John is preaching Christ to them as they are the non born again...
John 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
2 Corinthians 3:11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
1 John 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
The ones who abide in Christ,(remember the servant abideh not ver, the Son abideth ever and needs to make you free from SIN, and they sin not, does not say they might do some sins sometimes, because these have not known the Father and the ones who God begets as that son keep themselves away from the devil and NEVER TOUCHES THEM TO SIN..
1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
"Believers struggle! There are times when we will weep over our sins. We want to be more for Christ. This is a mark of a genuine believer. Matthew 5:4-6 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.� Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.� Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”"
Who weeps? Apostle Paul weeped bewailing many which were sinners and not stopping the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness they still are commiting!
God Himself has His soul weeping for your pride, because you are still captive and in bondage to sin believing the devils false promises instead of these right ways of Holiness in the Lord. But call Him Lord Lord and do not seek to enter straight, and He shall say, depaart from me, all you workers of iniquity(sinners) and it is then you shall really weep and gnash your teeth being thrust out of th kingdom you seek, seeking carefully with tears was never a good way..
2 Corinthians 12:21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
Jeremiah 13:17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord's flock is carried away captive.
Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
Malachi 2:13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
Hebrews 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
Now the true tears:
Psalm 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
The deceivers final thoughts for themselves:
Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on **EVERY WORD FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD**!"
I John 1:6: Whoever claims to live in Him **MUST LIVE AS JESUS DID**!!
John 15:12: Jesus says, "**MY COMMAND** is this: Love each other **AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**!!"
Every born from above saint will try to obey the above two New Covenant commands with all their heart. However, it is obvious that God's saints will fall short of completely obeying the above two commands of God!!!
While Adam7777 claims to be sinless and **PERFECT** it is interesting to note that Adam7777 has **SEPARATED** from his wife and therefore has not been a **PERFECT SINLESS HUSBAND** for God's word states in Matthew 19:5,6: Jesus says, "A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they shall become one flesh, they are no longer two, but one flash. Therefore what God has joined together let no man {Like Adam7777} separate!!"
And so if Adam7777's separated wife is a Christian they are both living continually in sin for we are commanded to forgive our brother or sister or wife in Christ not 7 times but 70 times 7 times! And if Adam7777 married an unsaved woman it is also terrible sin in the NT!!
I John 1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin {Like Adam7777}, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned {Like Adam7777} we make Him out to be a liar and His Word is not in us!
Luke 11:1-4: The **DISCIPLES** asked Jesus, "Lord teach as to pray." Jesus replied **TO HIS DISCIPLES**, "When you pray, say: '**FATHER**, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our **DAILY** bread. **FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us!'"
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man shall live by **EVERY WORD** that comes from the mouth of God!"
James 5:16: **CONFESS YOUR SINS** to each other and pray for each other!!
Psalm 38:18: David said, "I **CONFESS MY SIN**; I am troubled by **MY SIN**!"
Daniel 9:20: Daniel said, "While I was speaking and praying, **CONFESSING MY SIN**!"
Revelation 3:19: Jesus says, "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and **REPENT**!!" {**OF YOUR SINS**!!}
Hebrews 12:5-11: Do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He chastens **EVERYONE** HE ACCEPTS AS A SON**!!! Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His children. For what children are not disciplined by their father {FOR THEIR SINS**}? If you are not disciplined--and everyone undergoes discipline--**THEN YOU ARE NOT LEGITIMATE**, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us{FOR OUR SINS!} and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it!
Since Adam7777 claims that he **NO LONGER SINNED** the moment he was saved; he completely disagrees with the above 3 passages from the inspired Words of God. And since he believes he was completely perfect when he was saved there is no reason for him to want **ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS** for faithful and loving service.
**HOWEVER, GOD'S WORD COMPLETELY DISAGREES WITH HIM**!!
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what they have done!"
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your **REWARD** **IN HEAVEN**!�
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
Luke 11:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a **TREASURE** IN HEAVEN** that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your **TREASURE** is, there your **HEART** will be also!"
Now Adam wants people to confess their sins to him.
But Jesus, in the Lord’s Prayer, taught his disciples to confess their sins to: “Our Father Who is in heaven...” not to Adam.
God is the only One Who IS perfect. But Adam thinks he too is perfect and refuses to obey God by confess his sins to God the Father as Jesus taught his disciples.
One of the first 2 sins Adam needs to confess immediately is the sin of calling God a liar and the sin of not believing God’s Word
I don’t believe Adam is the original deceiver but he is gullibly following a false leader. Sadly, Adam hasn’t learned to follow the Berean example.
Adam’s defenses of perfectionism is an unartful removal of various clippings of scripture from their original contexts and meaning.
Adam then reassembles all these tattered portions into an anti-context arrangement conforming to Adam’s false faith. Sort of like one might cut and clip in preparation of a ransom note
"One second of an impure ungodly thought is sin. Worry is sin. Not working 100% fully for the Lord at your job is sin. � Sin is missing the mark. No one can do what is required. I know I can’t! I fall short daily, but I don’t live in condemnation. I look to Christ and it gives me joy. All I have is Jesus. I’m trusting in His perfection on my behalf. � Our sinfulness makes Christ blood on the cross so much more meaningful� and precious."
Not looking lustfully for one second is hearing what Christ says instead of what these men say. IF YOUR RIGHT EYE LOOKS AT A WOMAN LUSTFULY PLUCK IT OUT AND CAST IT AWAY FROM YOURSELF. IT IS PROFITIBLE TO PERISH ONE OF YOUR BODILY MEMBERS OF FLESH THAN HING YOUR SPIRIT TO BE CAST INTO HELL...
Matthew 5:8 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
"Can any Christian say that his heart is perfect and that he never falters? That he never looks upon a woman with impure thoughts? That he loves the Lord God with all of his heart, and that he loves his neighbor as himself, all with a perfect state of mind? The standard is absolute purity. None of us can claim that."
IS IT FOR NOTHING THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOURS WIFE? IN THE FIRST COVENANT THEY DID COVET THEIR NEIGHBOURS WIFE AND DESIRE ALL THAT WAS THEIR NEIGHBOURS, NOW THIS DECEIVER INSISTS THE NEW COVENANT IS NO BETTER AND THAT ALL WE ARE TOLD WE CANNOT DO, TO MORTIFY(MAKE DEAD) OUR MEMBERS UPON EARTH AND HOW DO YOU STILL COVET THEN?
Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Deuteronomy 5:21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his donkey, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
CAN WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBOUR AS OURSELVES WITH PERFECT STATE OF MIND?
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; AND HE THAT DWELLETH IN LOVE DWELLETH IN GOD AND GOD IN HIM.
17 HEREIN IS OUR LOVE MADE PERFECT, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
MEN CHERISH THEIR OWN FLESH, CHRIST CHERISHED US THAT SAME WAY, WE FULFILL THE LAW WRITTEN IN US OF CHRIST AS LOVE WORKS NO ILL TO YOUR NEIGHBOUR...
Ephesians 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 LOVE WORKETH NO ILL TO HIS NEIGHBOUR: THEREFORE LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW.
Worry when Christ gives faith to us to fear not in love?
Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Your job is working for God being fishers of men and you cant do your job 100%?
Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Falling short daily still?
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
"1 John 1:8, "If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us."
1 John 2:1, "My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."
Notice that John the apostle includes himself in the issue of sinning. Are the sinless perfectionist people more holy than John the apostle? I think not."
NOW NOTICE WITH ME, IT IS THE APOSTLES WHICH SAW CHRIST FROM THE BEGINNING, AND THEY DECLARE THE MESSAGE TO ALL SO WE MIGHT HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH THEM, WHO TRULY FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST. TO THE LITTLE CHILDREN THEIR SINS ARE FORGIVEN AND THE YOUNG MEN WHO HAVE OVERCOME THE WICKED ONE, KNOWING THE FATHER, STRONG AND THE WORD ABIDING IN THEM BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND HAVE OVERCOME THE WICKED ONE.....
1 John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
1 John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
JOHN SPEAKS OF THOSE WHO TRULY FELLOWSHIP WITH CHRIST, HIMSELF AND HOLY APOSTLES AND HOW EVERY MAN THAT HAS THE SAME HOPE AS THEY HAVE, PURIFIES THEMSELVES EVEN AS CHRIST IS PURE, AS CHRIST WAS SEEN IN THE WWOLD TO TAKE OUR SINS AWAY AND IN HIM IS NO SIN. ABIDING IN HIM WE SIN NOT, WHEN WE STILL SIN, WE HAVE NOT SEEN OR KNOWN HIM YET, TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH THE LITTLE CHILDREN WILL DO, THEY ARE RIGHTEOUS EVEN AS CHRIST IS RIGHTEOUS WHICH DECEIVERS DENY, COMMITING SIN IS STILL OF THE DEVIL, NOT OVERCOME HIM YET, AND THE SON OF GOD CAME TO EARTH GIVING THE SPIRIT TO DESTROY IN US THOSE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. WE NEED TO BE BORN OF GOD, AND THEY DO NOT COMMIT SIN, DO NOT ASK FOR FORGIVENESS BECAUE THEY CHANGED, AND THE DEVILS SEED OF SINS DOES NOT COME OUT ANY MORE, THEIR FRUIT IS NOW HOLINESS, THEY ALSO CANNOT SIN, BORN OF GOD HAS NO WAY TO DO EVIL ANY MORE, THIS DIVIDES THE CHILDREN OF GOD FROM THE CHILDREN STILL OF THE DEVIL, WHEN WE FAIL TO DO RIGHTEOUNSESS WE ARE NOT OF GOD BECAUSE WE DO NOT LOVE OUR BROTHER..........
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
"So, a Christian is to struggle against his sin and to see this before God. But we cannot say that every intention of our hearts is always perfect and pure. If it were, we would not need an intercessor before God once we are saved. The idea of sinless perfectionism is an error that is refuted by "
We have an intercessing Spirit so that we mortify the deeds of the body, through the Spirit, being led by the Spirit of God, receiving the Spirit of adoption of sons we cry Abba Father. Crying Abba Father, no more a servant of sin now a son serving God in Holiness and righteousness, but some turn again to the elements of this world because they never knew God and desire to be in bondage to sin again..
Mark 14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, GOD HATH SENT FORTH THE SPIRIT OF HIS SON INTO YOUR HEARTS CRYING ABBA FATHER.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
9 But now, after that ye have known God, OR RATHER ARE KNOWN OF GOD, HOW TURN YE AGAIN TO THE WEAK AND BEGGERLY ELEMENTS, WHEREUNTO YE DESIRE AGAIN TO BE IN BONDAGE?
Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY ARE THE SONS OF GOD.
15 FOR YE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE SPIRIT OF BONDAGE AGAIN TO FEAR; BUT YE HAVE RECEIVED THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION, WHEREBY WE CRY, ABBA FATHER.
Romans 8:21 Because THE CREATURE ITSELF ALSO SHALL BE DELIVERED FROM THE BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that THE WHOLE CREATION GROANETH and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, EVEN WE OURSEVES GROAN WITHIN OURSELVES, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but THE SPIRIT ITSELF MAKETH INTERCESSION FOR US WITH GROANINGS WHICH CANNOT BE UTTERED.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, BECAUSE HE MAKETH INTERCESSION FOR THE SAINTS ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD.
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, THEM HE ALSO CALLED, AND WHOM HE CALLED, THEM HE ALSO JUSTIFIED, AND WHOM HE JUSTIFIED, THEM HE ALSO GLORIFIED.
31 What shall we then say to these things? IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, HOW SHALL HE NOT WITH HIM ALSO FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS?
33 WHO SHALL LAY ANY THING TO THE CHARGE OF GOD'S ELECT? IT IS GOD THAT JUSTIFIETH.
2 Peter 1:3 ACCORDING AS HIS DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him THAT HATH CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: THAT BY THESE YE MIGHT BE PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE, HAVING ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION THAT IS IN THE WORLD THROUGH LUST(THE DEVIL TEACHES INSISTS WE STILL LOOK LUSTFULLY ON NEIGHBOURS WIFE).
2 Peter 1:9 BUT HE THAT LACKETH THESE THINGS IS BLIND, AND CANNOT SEE AFAR OFF, AND HATH FORGOTTEN THAT HE WAS PURGED FROM HIS OLD SINS.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: FOR IF YOU DO THESE THINGS, YE SHALL NEVER FALL:
"Now Adam believes people should confess their sins to him.
But Jesus taught his disciples to confess their sins to “Our Father who is in heaven...” not to Adam.
Who does Adam think he is??"
Littledavids friend in their faith posts non stop for you littledavid, but noth little david and prophetic confess nothing of their shame:
"James 5:16: **CONFESS YOUR SINS** to each other and pray for each other!!"
Romans 6:21 WHAT FRUIT HAD YE THEN IN THOSE THINGS WHEREOF YE ARE NOW ASHAMED? FOR THE END OF THOSE THINGS IS DEATH.
1 Corinthians 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM:
23 BUT WE PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and UNTO THE GREEKS FOOLISHNESS;
1. First Form of Perfectionism—claiming to have no tendency to sin è John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
2 Peter 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
2 Timothy 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Greek language:
(3) “that we do not have sin” (present tense).
(4) What he is saying is: “If we up and say that we live continually in such a way that we have no principle of sin in us....”
(5) Then...We are leading ourselves astray, and The Truth is not in us
The truth i us is the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, because there is false confessing and true confessing, and the world cannot receive the Spirit of truth, who is Christ in Spirit, and the truth Spirit guides us int all truth. We profess or confess a good profession of faith in Christ, through that Holy Spirit of truth, hearing the word of truth..John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Believing is being sealed with that Holy Spirit of true promise. The fruit of the Spirit is not the works of darkness that the deceiver opinion says we cant stop, the fruit of the Spirit is in ALL TRUTH, goodness and righteousness. We are chosen to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit(which deceiver says we cant do in our body) and belief of that Spirit TRUTH. We purify our souls in obeying that TRUTH with a sincere heart in pure love to the brethren. only they of God HEAR THIS TRUTH, the spirit of error hears not. Continuing in His word is knowing the truth, AND THEN YOU SHALL BE SET FREE BY THIS TRUTH. FREE FROM SERVANTS OF SIN AS IN THE FIRST COVENANT ALL FULFILLED. TO ABIDE CONTINIOUSLY OR FOREVER WE NEED THE SON TO SET US FREE INDEED AS THE SERVANT OF SIN CONTINUES IN SIN AND DEATH FOREVER...
Jeremiah 5:2 And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.
John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
"(b) Others taught that a spiritual believer had no sin in their life, so they could live to perfection
(2) Other perfectionists since then have taught that by an act of sanctifying grace, the tendency to sin can be taken away from us in this life.
(4) All of these views are heresy—they are out of balance.
c. The balanced Biblical view is: when we become Christians......
(1) We receive a new nature—2 Cor 5:17
(2) The born again Christian will not practice sin as a style of life.
(3) The old man can be reckoned as dead, Sin no longer has the power to dominate us—Rom 6:1-15. Therefore, we should be growing in grace—2 Pet 3:18, progressing in holiness"
2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Romans 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.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
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.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
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.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Remain in your own steadfastness, do not fall, or return to the error of the wicked, growing in grace is growing in the knowledge of Christ to protect us against all the fiery darts of the wicked, taking the whole armour unto you, and having done all to STAND:
2 Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
SO BE STRONG IN THE LORD IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT, PUT ON NOT SOME ARMOUR GROWING AS THEY LIE, PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR RIGHT AWAY OF GOD TO STAND AGAINST THE CHEATING OF THE DEVIL, AGAINST THEIR SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS, TAKE UNTO US THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD THAT WE CAN WITHSTAND IN THE EVIL DAY OF TEMPTATION AND TO STAND WHEN WE HAVE DONE ALL, STANDING THEREFORE WITH TRUTH, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, WITH THE GOSPEL PREPARED IN YOUR MOUTH AND HEART, IN FAITH QUENCHING ALL THESE FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED AS I AM DEMONSTRATING RIGHT NOW, WITH THE HOPE OF SALVATION BETTER THAN THE DECEIT OF THIS LIFES PLEASURES THEY TEMPT US WITH THAT WE CANT STOP THEM ALL, BUT THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT CUTS UP THEIR WEAK ATTACKS..
Ephesians 6:0 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
THIS DECEIVER HAS SHOWN NOTHING OF GROWING IN HOLINESS, HE ADDED THAT HIMSELF, NOW MENTIONS MIND AND BODY, SAYING WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN THERE IS CHANGE. DOES THE BIBLE TELL US WHERE OUR HUMANITY ENDS/WHERE THE NEW MAN IS? DID CHRIST HAVE TO BE PUT TO DEATH DAILY OR THAT IS HERESY? NOW LIES TO SAY WE SHOULD CONSTANTLY BE ON OUR GUARD TO FIGHT AGAINST SINNING, AND FIGHT AGAINST IT, WITHOUT CONFESSING WE NEED TO IMMEDIATELY PUT ON ALL OF THE HOLE ARMOUR OF GOD TO WITHSTAND THE DEVILS SINS AND THAT, THAT IS CONTRARY TO THEIR DECEIT OF "GROWING?
"(5) Having said that, because we are still in flesh, we still must struggle against sin, even as we grow in Grace and holiness.
(a)By flesh, we don’t mean the body only, but the mind and soul, our total humanness.
(b) Systematic theologians like to draw very distinct lines on this question, but the Bible does not tell us where our humanity begins and ends and where the new man is.
(c) Our mind and body together remember the pleasures and ways of sin, and this must be put to death daily.
(d) As long as we live with our humanness (which is as long as we are alive) we are in danger of sinning, and must constantly be on our guard to fight against it, and fight against it we must and will"
Christ put sin to death for us once and for all, does not have to suffer often for their heretical deceitful wicked view, Christ bore our sins and appears to salvation to them who look for Him without sin:
Hebrews 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
his is when all is new and GODLY WHEN HUMANITY ENDS:
Acts 14:9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
Acts 28:6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
Acts 3:12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
1 Corinthians 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
"2. The Second form of perfectionism—claiming to be sinless in practice è 1 John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
a. Language
(1) “If”—again, a third class condition sentence
(2) We say—aorist—if we at any time have said
(3) We have not sinned—perfect tense—have not sinned throughout the past.
(4) “...we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us....” This is all in the present tense—if we say that we have not been sinners in practice, we are continually making Him a liar and His word is continually not in us."
WE MAKE GOD A LIAR WHEN WE SIN AND CLAIM WE DO NOT. WE ALSO LIE WHEN WE LIE, AND WE LIE IF WE CANNOT STOP SINNING. THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF LIES, AND THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL ARE SINS.
PRESENT TENSE IS TO THE ONES WHO NEITHER CEASE TO LIE, NEITHER CEASE TO HAVE A LYING SPIRIT, ARE NOT OF THE TRUTH YET.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
"(1) Sinless perfection is our goal—but we will never reach that level of holiness in this life
(2) To claim perfection in our lives makes God a liar! Rom 3:9-12, 23, Eph 2:1-3
3. The Remedy for both heresies in chapter 1—the balanced Christian life—1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
DO THESE GUYS BELIEVE WHAT THEY SHOW READS AS THEY CLAIM? TO DO ALL WELL AND RIGHT IS TO DO PERFECTLY, IT OFFENDS THE DEVIL NOT GOD, THE DEVIL WANTS US TO NOT DO WHAT CHRIST SAYS, BUT CHRIST DOES NOT WANT US TO NOT OBEY. ALL ARE UNDER SIN IN THE WORLD, NONE RIGHTEOUS, NONE WITH UNDERSTANDING, NONE SEEKING GOD, UN PROFITIBLE TO GOD, NONE DOING GOOD, DECEIVERS, CURSING BITTER MOUTHS,DESTROYERS, NO PEACE, NO FEAR OF GOD..
Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
ALL DID THOSE SINS FALLING SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. NOW REDEMPTION AND JUSTIFICATION THROUGH CHRIST AND SINS WASHED AWAY, CHRIST BEING JUST TO JUSTIFY THE BELIEVERS UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS.CONFESSING TO SALVATION AND THOSE WHO CONFESS AND NAME THE NAME OF THE LORD DEPART FROM INIQUITY:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
WE ARE DEAD IN TRESPASSES AND SINS. NEED THE SPIRIT TO MAKE US ALIVE FROM THE WAGES OF SIN AND DEATH, IN THE PAST WE WALKED AS THESE DECEIVERS SAY WE STILL CANT STOP WALKING WITHIN, IN DISOBEDIENCE, IN THE LUST OF THE FLESH(THEY INSIST WE CANT STOP LOOKING LUSTFULLY AT OUR NEIGHBOURS WIFE) FULFILLING THE DESIRES OF OUR FLESH INSTEAD OF FULFILLING THE LAW OF CHRIST DESIRING TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOUR, FOR THESE DECEIVERS ALSO SAY THAT APOSTLE PAUL DESIRED TO DO GOOD BUT CANNOT FIND WAY TO DO IT AND DO THE EVIL TOO! BUT THESE BY NATURE DOING EVIL ARE CHILDREN OF WRATH, IN FLESH AND IN MIND, GOD THEN QUICKENED US AWAY FROM THAT DEATH WAY TO SIT IN THE HEAVENLY PLACE WHICH IS THE PLACE OF HOLINESS ONLY..
Ephesians 2:And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:EE
CLEANED FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS BUT THESE DOGS RETURN TO THEIR VOMIT:
2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
"a. Language—
(1) Again, a subjunctive sentence, conditional
(2) “...If we confess...” is present tense—if we go on confessing...
(a) The word for confess, ¿ìïëïã§ìåí , means to agree totally with, and to identify with.
(b) When we truly confess, we are saying something about us, and we are saying something about Him.
(c)Rom 10:9-10—when we confess Christ, we confess His Lordship
(d) When we confess that He is our Savior, we are confessing that we need a Savior, that we are sinners.
(e) And this is in the present tense! Our confession is perpetual and constant—we always say to our Father, “God be merciful to me a sinner.”
(3) So, the remedy for the first type of perfectionism-- perpetual repentance. If we are continually confessing to Him, we will not get the idea that we are perfect!"
THIS IS PRESENT TENSE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT YET CONFESSED CHRIST AS THEIR LORD, NOT YET BELIEVED IN THEIR HEART THAT HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD(WHEN WE BELIEVE HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM AND IN NEWNESS OF LIFE THROUGH THE SPIRIT AND BODY DEAD TO SIN) CONFESSION IS MADE TO SALVATION, AND AS TOLD, TO NOT BE ASHAMED..
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
ABIDE IN HIM WHICH WAY?
Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
THEY WANT MERCY FOR BEING A NON REPENTANT SINNER, BUT MERCY IS ACHIEVED BY YOUR OWN MERCY WHICH IS OPPOSITE TO SELF MERCY..
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
"(b) He is just—because the price of redemption has been paid, and because of the propitiation through faith in His blood, God is just and righteous to forgive us—See Romans 3:25-31
(c)To forgive—aorist—we confess continually, the the forgiveness of sins is something that takes place once. When He is our Father, the forgiveness of sins has happened, and God will no longer impute sin to our account—Rom 4:6-8. The sins that a believer commits are sins, but the legal status of the believer is that sins are now a family matter between Father and Son—you can lose fellowship, but never relationship."
REMISSION OF SINS THAT ARE PAST, CHRIST JUST TO BE THE JUSTIFIER OF THE BELIEVERS IN JUSTICE...
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
BELIEVING ON GOD TO JUSTIFY US, FORGIVEN INIQUITIES..
Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
WHAT ARE THE SINS NOW? FOR THE SINNERS THERE IS A REMEMBRANCE EACH YEAR OF THEIR SINS, IN HEBREWS 10:17, OUR SINS GOD REMEMBERS NO MORE. THEIR SACRIFICE FOR SINS NEVER MADE THE COMERS PERFECT, (DECEIVERS HATE THIS WORD) THEY WERE NOT PURGED OF SINS REMEMBERING THE SINS THEY STILL DO. THEN GOD SHOWS THOSE SACRIFICES HE DOES NOT DESIRE, NO PLEASURE IN THEM. THEN THROUGH BEING SATISFIED WITH THE SUFFERING OF THE MESSIAH WITHOUT SIN, HE WRITES THE NEW COVENANT IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS HIS RIGHTEOUS LAWS, AND ONLY AT THAT SAME MOMENT HE REMEMBERS OUR SINS NO MORE, NEITHER DO WE, AS WE DO THEM NO MORE. HOLDING FAST THE PROFESSION(CONFESSION) OF OUR FAITH,(NOT THE CONFESSION OF OUR SIN AS THEY ANTICHRISTS SAY) WITHOUT WAVERING IN SIN, BUT ADMONISH BRETHREN THEY HAVE TO WALK IN TRUE LOVE TO DO EVERY GOOD WORK,(NO EVIL WORKS) FOR IF THEY SIN INTENTIONALLY THERE IS NO MORE SACRIFICE OR FORGIVENESS FOR THEIR SINNING..
Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Psalm 40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
"(i) Our confession is continual
(ii) Our forgiveness from sin is granted once.
(iii) But back in 1:7, the cleansing was continual—the point is that we are cleansed once from the guilt of sin, then we are cleansed continually from the pollution of sin in our lives, and one day we will be cleansed from the very presence of sin."
SO THERE IS NO CLEANSING FROM THE GUILT OF SIN WITHOUT HAVING THE LAW WRITTEN IN THE HEART OF MIND OF A SOFT HEART OF FLESH AND GIVEN THE MIND OF CHRIST, BECAUSE GOD HEARETH NOT SINNERS, ONLY THOSE WHO DO HIS WILL NOT YOUR OWN WILL, AND HE HAS ALREADY CLEANSED THE CHURCH BY THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD OF HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND IT WILL BE PRESENTED TO HIM NOT HAVING SPOT OR BLEMISH BUT IS HOLY, IF THAT IS NOT YOU, HOW ARE YOU THE CHURCH?
John 9:31 Now we know that GOD HEARETH NOT SINNERS: BUT IF ANY MAN BE A WORSHIPPER OF GOD, AND DOETH HIS WILL, HIM HE HEARETH.
John 4:24 GOD IS A SPIRIT, AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
Ephesians 5:26 THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY AND CLEANSE IT WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD,
27 THAT HE MIGHT PRESENT IT TO HIMSELF A GLORIOUS CHURCH, NOT HAVING SPOT, OR WRINKLE, OR ANY SUCH THING, BUT THAT IT SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLEMISH.
John 15:3 NOW YE ARE CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU.
4 ABIDE IN ME, AND I IN YOU, AS THE BRANCH CANNOT BEAR FRUIT OF ITSELF, EXCEPT IT ABIDE IN THE VINE, NO MORE CAN YE, EXCEPT YE ABIDE IN ME.
