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.
1 John 2:1 - My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. If Christians were sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, 100% of the time, then those verses would be superfluous.
Do you say that you have fellowship with God, in spite of saying that you have no sin, (present tense) deceiving yourself and the truth is not in you? (1 John 1:8).
1 John 1:6 - If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. Walking in darkness is descriptive of children of the devil. Walking in the light is descriptive of children of God. Only those who are saved/believers are in the light.
Acts 26:18 - to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.
2 Corinthians 6:14 - Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
Ephesians 5:8 - for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light. Children of the devil walk in darkness, not in the light. Children of God walk in the light, not in darkness. IF confirms these positions in verses 6 and 7. It's one or the other.
In 1 John 2:9, we read - He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. In vs. 11 - But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
*Compare with 1 John 3:10 - In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, (compare with 1 John 1:6 - does not practice the truth) nor is he who does not love his brother. *Notice that "walks in darkness, hates his brother" is in reference to children of the devil.

Only when I'm dealing with someone who is self righteous. Now self-condemnation indicates that a person is condemning himself. In 1 Peter 5:8, we read that the devil is like a roaring lion going throughout the earth seeking whom he may devour. He knows how to prey on people that are prone to deep feelings of shame and guilt. This is what you find in the personality of the self-condemning person. The Holy Spirit does not convict us to torment us. He convicts us bring us to repentance and forgiveness.
1 John 1:8 - 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.

I noticed a deceived sinless perfectionist asked what sinner has faith....My answer is...read the bible and be open to it's truths and maybe you will figure it out and come into the light.....all who claim to be sinless are deceived, no truth and liars.........according to the bible.
A sinner who has faith------>But the centurion said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed. "For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it." Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.

More ignorance from a deceived sinless perfectionist who has no truth....Salvation is not awarded for service, walk, works or standing.....it is given as a GIFT by faith.....man you have a bad day coming when you stand before the Lord...not only does your dogma fall short of being biblical, you are also spreading your false café blend dogma which has no power to save.
To say the above about the following quoted verse proves that you are not of God.....
Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me
Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me
First you need to learn to use the site so as to not make people say something they did not say.....
Second you need to actually trust JESUS and be born from above and lose your deceptive, sinless perfectionists dogma....
Third....you cannot even get salvation right so no big surprise you use a verse out of context (Matthew 24) that is not even talking about the salvation of the spirit/soul......
Amen.. if Christ has begun the good work that does work in us to both will and do His good pleasure. Has he begun the good work in you our are you judging His grace and doing despite to the Spirit of grace? Christians get under the authority of it and believe. It works for them.
Phi 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:

Nobody is defending sin....so...your statement again makes you into a liar which is sin....
What we are defending is what the bible has to say about sin and the fact that NO ONE is without sin.....NOT YOU, NOT Your working for buddy Seohce........NONE........so.....keep thinking you are without sin...your false allegation in this one post that we are defending sin makes you into a deceptive liar.....just own it.....

Well of course we are saved by the work of Christ's faith according to his three day labor of Love .It, our new faith, the free gift is what works in the believer to both will and do His good pleasure (imputed righteousness. Where else to you think the grace of God that teaches us to say no to ungodliness comes from?
It would be the truth that you reject, deny and oppose by your false man made dogma.......and concerning the last post about him accusing you which you had to FORGIVE = SIN....
This proves you sin....you accuse of defending sin...which is false.....just another deceived sinner who thinks he is above it.....
