Watering down sin
Those who are sinners and want to stay sinners, claim those talking about sin are watering it down
because condemning sin is evil, and claiming one has overcome sin or the world is hypocrisy.
I met a man who supported one of the most evil men in history.
From that time on I could not talk to them. This was just pure evil, it was not even a discussion.
To defend sinners by saying no one can call out sin, comes from the pit.
It is the basis of lawlessness, and those corrupted often by sinful desires and greed.
It is also what all those against the prophets said.
Again and again I sent my servants the prophets, who said,
'Do not do this detestable thing that I hate!'
But they did not listen or pay attention; they did not turn from their wickedness or
stop burning incense to other gods.
Therefore, my fierce anger was poured out; it raged against the towns of Judah and
the streets of Jerusalem and made them the desolate ruins they are today.
Jeremiah 44:4-6
The sinners passions posses their very souls and only evil intent spews from their lips, condemning
anyone who suggests what they are doing is wrong.
Jezebel was someone to fear, she caused the deaths of many thousands.
And in totally unjust countries the same thing happens to the righteous, because they will kill
anyone they see as a threat and will expose what they really are.
And those who preach such a gospel of ignoring sin are just leading the blind into the pit of hell.

1 john 3: 9
Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
1 John 3: 6 Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
Yep. Hebrews is not talking about true believers, But people who continue in sin. Because although they go to church, They have not yet been saved.
For God so loved the world that he GAVE his only begotten son that WHOEVER believes in him will never perish, but HAS eternal life!!!!
God loved you when you were his enemy.
When are you going to stop insulting the spirit of Grace?

Once again someone on this thread states that it is not necessary to obey by saying that obedience is CLEVERLY RENAMED OBEDIENCE....
As if obedience is something that needs to be hidden in our theology.
OBEDIENCE IS EVERYTHING.
You don't obey...
You're not saved.
Get your facts straight.
End of story.

this is too much. my brain is about to explode.
the guy who refuses to recognize the actual definition of the word sin just wrote an essay about watering down sin.
I think we have the most un-self aware person on the planet.
I have to put you on ignore. I can't take this personal trip through your thoughts and emotions anymore.
good luck with your personal psychology exam.

Just because you say it is for God does not mean anything, The people in James thought they had faith, the people of Hebrews and galations trying to return to law thought they did it for God. They jews who killed christ thought they did it for God
You tell me, I have no idea what this is in response to.
he did? And if he did, Did he repent of sins, or who he was?
I believe in repenting. There is no way possible to know every possible sin before your saved, stop lieing to yourself thinking you repented of sin, you can’trepent of things you have no no idea what they are.

Just asking, but are you pointing out this verse in order to make the point that it is saying "[do this] so that you will be saved [in the end]"?
...or acknowledging that the preceding verse says, "And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby YE ARE sealed unto the day of redemption"... ? [speaking to people who ARE saved / have eternal life]
I cannot tell which one you are suggesting (and the remainder of your post didn't help clarify it either). Thanks.

And preach in his name and attack these sinners who call themselves christian.
In the eyes of some, Gods people are hypocritical sinners who believe they are holy and pure
but are not. This is quite a judgemental attitude on the state of what the cross achieves in
others lives and that they are not in the Kingdom.
Only those who know the churches and are willing to judge like this will agree.
I am not nor ever will. The faithful praying servant of God who I have not met or who
lives devoted to God it is not for me to judge or claim I have any rights to condemn.
If you as a reader and believer wish to go with the accuser of the brethren and walk in his
Kingdom, then everything will start to make sense to you. I am acutely aware ones Kingdom
and loyalty define ones outlook. And you can give your allegiance away, and fall into delusion.
If this is permanent time will tell, but I counsel that this is sin and endangers ones soul.
Unbelief. Once you are bound to unbelief in Gods work in the hearts of His people, then of course
sin is our master, and we must believe Christ has cleansed us in His sight, and we are safe in His
arms and His promises, even though our hearts deny this and love does not echo in our experience
and the heart is just a pool of out of control emotion and sin.
There is always hope for those who call on Jesus and desire His ways.
But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
23. Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
24. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.
25. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.
26. You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
27. for all of you who were baptised into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Gal 3:21-27
You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

We have scriptures that tell us about true believers, and we have scriptures about HOW TO STAY SAVED.
1 John 2:24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
IF IT DOES?! If it does?! As for you, SEE THAT WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD REMAINS in you. IF IT DOES YOU WILL REMAIN IN HIM.
1 Timothy 3:6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.
1 Corinthians 11:31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.
1 Corinthians 9:27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
DISQUALIFIED means no longer saved:
See 2 Corinthians 13:5, Hebrews 10:31, Luke 12:46, Galatians 4:19, John 15:6, Luke 13:28, Matthew 8:12, and Matthew 5:13.
God so loved the WORLD.
That is about God loving His creation.
God does not love you personally until you love Him.
That is what you do.
Do you want to tell me what you think these scriptures mean:
Matthew 5:13 [ Salt and Light ] “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
Matthew 8:12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Luke 13:28“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out.
Luke 14:35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
1 John 2:24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
IF IT DOES?! If it does?! As for you, SEE THAT WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD REMAINS in you. IF IT DOES YOU WILL REMAIN IN HIM.
