You keep saying willfully sin. I’m asking you what sins do ppl commit that aren’t willful. Do ppl lie and it’s not a willful lie? Do ppl steal and it’s not a willful act? Do ppl murder and it’s not a willful act? Name one sin that is done against their will.
Reading the post of dc is troubling. He is way out of control of himself. But did I go running to report him for his slander and lies? No. Let him keep doing it, they know what I think about it under ignore and that is good enough for me.
It’s not a game. You said willfully sin. My point is all sins are willful in intent. No one sins against their will. That’s why I keep asking you to show me one sin that ppl commit that isn’t willful in intent.
The context of willful sin in Hebrews 10:26 is practicing sin. No true saved person lives a life where they practice sinning. 1 John 3 addresses this as well.
Hebrews 10
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
It's about returning to willful SIN.
Not about returning to the old testament!
Can't you read!?
The two of you posted openly about getting together later this year. If you’re gracious enough to receive him, no doubt Jesus is infinitely more gracious.
Why do you want to sin?
OSAS is full of them. Or circular logic like if you’re saved you’ll never fall away and if you fall away you were never saved.
I know the theory, VCO. I also know there are Christians whose theology assured them all future sins are already covered and forgiven same as the past ones so there’s no reason to confess. I’m asking if the OSAS crowd still calls them true christians although they are not changed and want to confess sin.
Does being born from above take free choice out of the picture? We who insist obeying God is part of the Kingdom of God humble ourselves as asked and find grace to obey are not the grace changers Jude writes of.
Willful sin is sin committed despite the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Only the perpetrator and God know when that s happening.
It’s not important to discuss. Stone doesn’t understand that correction can hurt feelings and that a faith that is wrong IS weak already and needs to be “hurt” so that the truth is found. God’s correction hurts. But the end is a strong faith knowing one has the truth. It is not afraid of questions and does not call those who oppose nasty names.
If people don’t have faith, is it then God’s fault for not doing for them what He did for you?
