Let's talk about the elephant in the room

I think you are wrong

Of course I am. You're sharp.

1 John 1:8-10
The Message
8-10 If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—simply come clean about them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we’ve never sinned, we out-and-out contradict God—make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God.

Verse 9
Doeth no sin (αμαρτιαν ου ποιε). Linear present active indicative as in verse 1 John 3:4 like αμαρτανε in verse 1 John 3:8. The child of God does not have the habit of sin.

His seed (σπερμα αυτου). God's seed, "the divine principle of life" (Vincent). Cf. 1 John 3:1.

And he cannot sin (κα ου δυνατα αμαρτανειν). This is a wrong translation, for this English naturally means "and he cannot commit sin" as if it were κα ου δυνατα αμαρτειν or αμαρτησα (second aorist or first aorist active infinitive). The present active infinitive αμαρτανειν can only mean "and he cannot go on sinning," as is true of αμαρτανε in verse 1 John 3:8 and αμαρτανων in verse 1 John 3:6. For the aorist subjunctive to commit a sin see αμαρτητε and αμαρτη in 1 John 2:1. A great deal of false theology has grown out of a misunderstanding of the tense of αμαρτανειν here. Paul has precisely John's idea in Romans 6:1 επιμενωμεν τη αμαρτια (shall we continue in sin, present active linear subjunctive) in contrast with αμαρτησωμεν in Romans 6:15 (shall we commit a sin, first aorist active subjunctive).

The meaning of the text is we do not live a lifestyle of sinning.

do you want to discuss only with those who agree with you?

1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

1 John 1:8 is clearly talking about indwelling sin as opposed to practical sin.

If it were talking about practical sinning, then it would be in contradiction to the plain meaning of 1 John 3:5-9.

Notice that it does not say, "If we say that we do no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."

There is a practical walk that we can be involved in, in which we do not commit sin.

In fact, the one who is born of God cannot commit practical sin. It is right there in 1 John 3:9 in black and white; and to deny it is to deny holy scripture and what it teaches.

Of course this is different than saying that I do not have indwelling sin...for that would be a violation of 1 John 1:8.

The reality is that the element of sin, as it dwells within us, can be rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any authority over our behaviour (Romans 6:14). Fact is, we are not obligated to obey the flesh (Romans 8:12 (kjv, NLT)). Therefore, if we also do not want to obey the flesh, how are we going to obey the flesh? I don't want to and I don't have to....what occasion therefore is there for me to obey the flesh?

It is not a contradiction as I already explained. I John 3 is saying we do not live a lifestyle of continually sinning.
But, when we do sin I John 1 comes into play. I even posted info from a Greek Scholar.

1 John 1:8 is talking about the fact of indwelling sin

Being inappropriate from the woman's perspective may be completely innocent from the man's perspective...

Just ask Cuomo...

Andrew Cuomo sex-misconduct complaint dismissed by judge

If I cannot go on sinning, does that not mean that I cannot continue in sin; and that therefore from now to the future I cannot sin?

if we report sexual harassment more often than not it goes nowhere because the male heirarchy just accept it and then blame the WOMEN.

It has always been that way since Jesus stopped the men from stoning the women caught in adultery...when the men were ready to stone her he just asked them were they without sin?

You are simply confusing yourself. Kindly take some time to carefully and prayerfully study the first epistle of John.

I mean church leadership and sexual misconduct. All you have to do is check The Roys Report and pretty much every day there's a new story about someone getting busted. It's getting so the Catholic church has nothing on Evangelicals.

My thoughts on what's behind this situation: Internet pornography. It used to be fear of exposure and the financial hit of purchasing pornography kept it in check to a certain degree. Now anyone in complete privacy can watch virtually anything they want free.

In my opinion this should be priority number one for the church. If it's not addressed, a lot more people are going to get hurt and a lot of people's faith will end up shipwrecked.

Let priests marry. You'd be surprised how much an outlet will fix that issue.

Remember what Jesus said, Satan accuses the brothers 24/7/365.

I mean, truth is truth, but I am not focused on those who fall but on those God wants to lift up, we all sin, the woman taken in adultery was not stoned because Jesus' words cut them to the bone.

Lets focus on uplifting the church, not dividing it. Not backbiting, agreeing with these WORLDLY Papers and Gossip columns etc. etc.
