AMEN, and by His grace He promises..."[FONT="]There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." (1 Cor 10:13)
Too bad some refuse to act like they have been "vindicated" from past sins.[/FONT]

H I want to say what you have said above is all Greek to me but I can’t As most of it is Hebrew
Seriously though thanks for taking the time to repsond.
So Can I ask you the following?
So we have sanctifies.
Yah says sanctifies themselves and YHWH sanctifies them.
The one who walks in the way of Yah is therefore sanctified by him.
If we can sanctify ourselves how can God sanctify us. It’s us doing it and not God.
However If we are sanctified by God through faith in Jesus then he sanctifies us.
To me to sanctify is to grow in Jesus and to be sanctified is positional. Justified as a result of Jesus and therefore sanctified.
A permanent state before God as a result of Jesus who then through the Holy Spirit conforms us to the image of Jesus.
My simple non Greek non Hebrew thoughts.

HAHAHAHHA the children of God are not to make war....wow....ok...take your bible....remove Joshua, 1st and 2nd Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, Ecclesiastes, many Psalms and the latter chapters of Revelation............David must have missed the memo when he thanked God for teaching his hands to war..........and the Roman soldier who had faith that Jesus had not seen in all Israel.............Solomon must have been mistaken when the Holy Spirit inspired him to say there is a time for war and a time for peace.....and for sure WW2 was not righteous when all of those believers fought like h--- to save Europe and England from the Nazis......geesh

Ezekiel 20:12, "Moreover, I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a *sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am YHWH Who sanctifies them."
Following anything Yah says is being sanctified by Him, if it is obedience to what He says in doind something, believeing something or sitting back and allowing Him to do His will, anything that He did not command or teach or instruct or requires is self sanctification.
If He says by faith one is sanctified by Him, then they are sanctified, if He says don't be evil and one will be sanctified by Him, then they are sanctified.
If He says go to Jerusalem to be sanctified by me and the person goes to Chicago, they are not sanctified by Him but havechosen theor own path/sanctification.
It simply means to be holy, set apart for special use, sanctified, consecrated, etc. It is only acceptable if it is by His standard, or it's self sanctification.
Praise be to God, and be assured that at the final judgement you won't hear "depart from me ye that work iniquity".
AMEN!
When people fight against perfect obedience to God, what do you suppose they ARE advocating?
First...I do not sin...thanks be to God.
Second...Was Paul slapping God when he wrote..."Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame." (1 Cor 15:34)
Or..."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." (2 Tim 2:19)
Was Peter slapping God when he wrote..."Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;" (1 Peter 4:1)
Or..."Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:" (2 Peter 1:10)
You have, in effect, made Jesus your Savior, but not your Lord.
Why didn't THAT grace stop the sin you just mentioned in the last sentence?
I can only hope that despair drives you to a real repentance from sin.
'You forgot to include..."and permission to keep sinning''.
God, in His mercy and grace, made it possible to kill the old man and be reborn of Godly seed that cannot bring forth evil fruit.
THAT is love.
AMEN!

Whatever came to pass was in due season.. but how can you love even your enemies if you kill them? How can you live by the sword when you are told you will then die by it?
The end times won’t go down as Islam being defeated.. though it is part of the dragon that needs slaying.. let all things come to pass and be a follower of Christ and all that died at the hands of evil knowing the battle is won and GOD invites us into His Kingdom..
But you carry on laughing believing you are gonna be commended.. I have spoken freely and the judgement is not mine.. no.. I can only sound the alarm and hope many will not be partakers.. instead trusting and Faithful even if the nation you abide falls.. may you not partake but be Children of Peace... not a freedom fighter of the world.. it falls do not be found on the disobedient rebellion side.
Hi PJW.
I am going to be honest here.
I just want you know that it is not to go at you.
You do come across as saying that you do not sin at all.
And anyone who does admit they do sin are servants of sin and that a God will not listen to them whilst they are still sinning.
So you do come accross as judgemental.
You have said above “If you will continue in the light, which is God, you won’t commit any more sins”
To me if you do not sin then based in what you are saying is that when you confess your sin before God given what what you have said in previous posts “If you sin God will not hear your prayer”
So at what point will God hear our prayer of confession? Because if we come to him to confess sin in the first instance by your logic he won’t listen.
Correct me if I am wrong but you say that you do not sin at all.
If this is the case rather than tell people they be sinless and if they are God won’t here them can you help those of use who acknowlede that we sin how to get over the first hurdle that if we confess our sin that God will not here our prayers.
Secondly what has helped you and how have you come to committing sins.
You responded to my post a few pages back and asked if I was promoting sin.
Just so you know that is something I would never ever do.
The grace of God is not an excuse to sin.
To me the grace of God covers sin but helps us to sin less and not being sinless.
That is where you and I disagree.
Yes we should aspire to be like Jesus who was sinless whilst at the same loving each other.
Can I also ask that you just don’t post bible verses but tell us of your experiences and the help of the Holy Spirit that now you walk sinless.
