In light of the falseness in today's world in its many forms, reading the falseness of a false teacher on this site makes the other daily stuff more difficult to take. This world is filled with so much deceit and lies today. The Word of God and the Work of God must be kept pure. Any accomplish I make for the Lord, is actually Him working through me. I cannot do anything for God except yield to Him and be His instrument.

Her hatred of OSAS doctrine and expounds that in her conversation and responses to people.
She has only love for those who agree with her and attacks, slanders and is condescending to those who do not.
And she has the cheek to accuse others of exactly the same thing she does plus some.
Quick to ridicule but not quick to be ridiculed.
Nothing but bitterness in her heart I believe.
You respond to a question she asks and she responds with a comment that comes accross as something that she needs to wipe of her shoes
Very high and mighty is she.

If you claim you have ceased from sin, you claim you Have no sin.
you trying to twist things to bring them back to your way is not goi got help you
if we (John included himself) say we have. (present, active indicative verb) no sin, we decieve ourselves.
he is not talking about past sins, so I suggest you get that thought out of you head

I always take scripture with no view in mind
thats why if you look at my views today and my views 3 decades ago they are quite different.
now can you please stop with this strawman. When you make these claims the same claim can be,ace against you, which makes the argument null and void..

Who made you all knowing?
And why do you deny the scriptures that say a person can indeed be sinless according to biblical standards?
Psalm 4:4
[4] Stand in awe, and do not sin
Psalm 119:11
[11] Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Luke 11:36
[36] If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
Philippians 1:29
[29] For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake [because]
1 Peter 4:1
[1] ...he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin

that's weird; i would think that the one who reads 1st person present tense and decides it is 3rd person past tense is the one with bias.
i would think the person who reads "it is no longer i who sin" ((twice!)) and decides it means 'it is i who constantly sins' is the one with bias.
i would think the person who reads "i serve God" and decides it means 'i serve the Devil' is the one with bias.
i would think the person who reads "in my flesh no good thing dwells" and decides it means 'i think my flesh is good' is the one with bias.
so you can see, of course i am skeptical. there are important points of your doctrine i still feel like i need explanation and justification for. to examine them, you know, and compare them with scripture -- as we are instructed to do

yes he can, because he is presently actively not smokimg
but this is not about one sin, and you trying to derail Our conversation with this will fail because it does not support your point. In context of our conversation
my concern is not whether a person is a smoker or not
my concern it with 1 John 1:8. Where John makes it clear. if we claim to be presently actively without sin, we decieve ourselves and there is no truth in us
I may not be presently actively smoking but that does not matter, John states I still have sin in,y life and if I deny it I am decieved
you deny it. Thus I must let you know what John said about you
