Im not saying that the scriptures of the 4 gospels are not relevant, I'm saying we have a new way of living before the Lord. By Holy Spirit and the gifts, and grace He extends to the world, not just His own. Jesus died for all men. Past, present, future failings are forgiven, and we are freed from condemnation. Those spirits that constantly lied to the mind and made us hide from Father rather than running to His for the help we need.
Thats the point I'm trying to make about not only your postings, but others too. We put our trust in what God promises to us as to His keeping power. There is our safety, our peace, our help.
I sincerely doubt that we all here are gross sinners, and are just waiting to get to the bars, meet with prostitutes, and rob houses.
Its the little things that trip us up. Like criticisms, how to take things graciously, how to live with those not yet saved without losing our witness by impatience. This kind of thing.
Am pretty sure it's what most of us are calling the sins we commit. Or even timidity in not stepping out in faith when the unction comes on us. We grow in grace. And He graces us to grow.
one thing I do agree with PJW is his mentioning fasting. It is powerful for our living.
OK I know nothing about what PJW believes but it seems you are outting me in a catagory with him and I assume othrs. I am my own indivigual. Also for someone who does not know Yahshua,crtianly, just as the Jerusalem council, you can't tell new converts everything, it's too much information and the focus should be on mrcy, once someone knows Yah, it's time to do His will. We should not be 20 year believers stuck on day 1. Finally I can not say what anyone does, if the ignore their sins, admit them and seek to forske them, or whatever else, even if I know someone presonally, only Yah knows the truth of them. When someone sins the Spirit of Yah shouldcut their heart, if not their conscience has been seared by a hot iron, we cant use Yahshua's blood as a doormat. Certianly all are in places unique to themselves, my point in that post was should the good news be spoken in a way that says you have been healed now do His will, or you have been healed do wahtever and you still good. Yahshua said you are healed, sin no more...

Romans 12:1-2, “I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Yah, to present your bodies a living offering – set-apart, well-pleasing to Yah – your reasonable worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Yah.”
1 John 3:4-6, "Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin." Everyone staying in Him does not sin. Everyone sinning has neither seen Him nor known Him.”
1 John 2:4, "The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."
Go to any church around, they will never speak these versess, only your saved, not what Yah wants tho...
