Sure. But you refuse to see that the sin of a Christian, while it does lead to chastisement, does not result in condemnation.

Romans 5:17
For if by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
I have the righteousness of Jesus Christ, an absolute perfect righteousness.
I received that in the form of a free gift.
If you accuse me of sin you are accusing Jesus of sin.
Who is it that accuses Christians of sin?
it never crosses your mind that Grace is Grace to stop performing the acts of death.
What, do you think, is required to keep the commandment to love your neighbor?
Mathew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
The next verse would be hard for you to understand
Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
You came into a "what is the Gospel" thread and instantly throw around sin, its sin sin everywhere in even when someone presently biblical truth really well you instantly brought up there sins when they never mentioned any, your really just stirring up the flesh
The first line of the Gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15 is that Jesus died for our sins, maybe start there, or maybe I could ask who do you think sin is against?
You can't love your neighbor without first loving GOD ...and you are not loving GOD as you sin.
Greed, gluttony, pornography, sexual immorality, rebellion, factions, gambling, the list is very long.
Are all deeds of the flesh.
We cannot change ourselves, we can try but we will not make headway. Probably end up self righteous like the Pharisees. I see it as the same process as legalism. You fail to stop the sin, get frustrated, then turn on others with that finger pointing. A very nasty human trait.
Let God conduct His process of sanctification in your sinful life. You can't do it yourself.
Repent means to change direction, from self obsession to the love of others. As we were commanded to do.
Ok. So what is required to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength? What is entailed in the keeping of this commandment?
That is not a con.
God is love.
Love is the overarching trait that Jesus displayed at all times.
One word in the New Testament that defines a Christian. Without love your a dead man walking.
As I said before, you cannot achieve sinless perfection.
A perfect self righteousness would result from sinless perfection.
You think it means to blow CHRIST kisses and thank Him ...instead of stopping your sins.
Again, I didn't ask what you think I might think. I'm asking a very direct question. What does loving God completely entail? How do you exercise obedience according to the commandment?
Btw...is implying things of others constitute loving your neighbor? Or is that sinful?
i saw the false church spreading it's lies so i had to step in.
Yes, Blessed is the man that GOD allows Repentance.
Hey not agreeing with Pilgrimshope that for some reason has to scream yell (huge fonts) forgive me just for me not easy on the eyes. Heb 10:26 and Heb 6 oh used the wrong ways and can really make one worry. Its talking to Jewish believers. Some would sin and then try to go back offer a sacrifice for that sin. There is no more sacrifice for that sin. Christ can not die again. To do this puts Christ to open shame.
It says if we willfully sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth. You reject that. Nothing remines.. no more sacrifice for sin. Christ is the only one. To know Christ died for your sins and reject it and go on sinning. There is no believer that has never willing sinned. The diff is we repent. We don't want to sin. When we do we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleans us from all unrighteousness. So have you heard Jesus took your place died on the cross for your sins? Do you believe receive it? There ya go. Oh man it would be awesome if the only times I ever sinned was from just being tempted. He already died for every sin I would ever do. I beiieve that I Receive it. By doing this I am in right standing with the great I am. I am righteous and holy. Because I believe in Jesus. This flesh has not been changed and no one can tame the tongue yet. .
ohh, so something in the NT doesn't apply to us ...sure ...that makes sense.
Sacrificial Blood was for your death with Him that you refuse to do.
lol at just knowing CHRIST makes your new sins go away.
This entire Test we are in is if you can do His Will ...that is all.
sin is the opposite of GOD'S Will. i don't sit here and plan to do something i know is separation with Him.
