Like a dog they return to their vomit.
Dogs may try to be new creatures, But they will always be exposed as dogs. Because they cant help themselves.

You can't "give up" your sins - you can only give them over to Jesus and His cleansing blood. Through His sacrifice on the cross, I have no sins attributed to me. He has taken them and thrown them as far as the east is from the west. ALL of them. It's the reason why we are called holy, righteous, and perfect in Scripture.

Rom 7.
And we would be foolish to think we 100% of the time do not do anything out of selfish ambition. Maybe even unknown to us..People who thn they can, do not understand what sin is, they water the law down so they can step over it. And refuse to be trained by the law to realise it is so far out of their reach, they have no ability to even come close to it.
That is about how you are not saved if you never admitted to be a sinner and then repented of your sins.
The way to be saved is to repent of your sins.
If you never repented of your sins then you are not saved. That is what that scripture means.
Don't hurt yourself getting off that high horse.
That is....if you ever do come down from it.

Your the one bearing false witness dude. By claiming people think it is ok to not obey Jesus.
You need to get over yourself.
If you are still doing those sins, then they are still with you.
You think God is teaching us to be liars by saying we have no sins while we keep sinning as always?

Excuse me?
John said IF WE SAY, He included himself in that passage. Present tense.
John admitted he was not without sin, Just like Paul did in romans 7. And John said people like you who claim you are without sin are decieved. And there is no truth in you.

Only if grace has stopped
And if his sin are with him, so are yours.. Your both doomed
Sin is transgression of the Law. By saying you no longer sin, you are claiming you keep the entire Law perfectly - 24 hours a day, seven days a week - without fail in thought, word, or deed.
That's quite an accomplishment for someone who doesn't even know what a contradiction in terms is.
What you are saying is not truth.
If I am a fornicator before I am saved, but repent of it and get saved and have that sin washed away, but I never stop fornicating, do you really think that sin is washed away?

That in no way means we do not think a person can live in sin. In fact, the bible says it is impossible for a child of God to live in sin. (1 John)
I just say what the bible says.
Not by works of righteousness (good deeds) which we have done, but by HIS MERCY HE SAVED US by the WASHING AND RENEWAL OF THE HS
God saves us, If you think you can save yourself. You are decieved.

I'm pretty sure his intent was not to suggest he has "altogether stopped sinning"/"ceased sinning altogether"... just that he has indeed "stopped" on occasion, at times, in some areas... (or the like).
...and a lot more than that.
Let us not wade into the temption of "...denying THE POWER thereof"

If we obey the whole law, yet fail in one point, we are guilty of the whole law.
When ar eyou going to admit your own sin and stop judgingn everyone else's
Who was justified. The tax collector of the pharisee?
Wait a minute. Stop sinning, but mess up here and there?
Whats the difference between a sin and a mess up?
Let me guess: Me commiting fornication is a sin. Me flipping the bird to someone in traffic is a "mess up" right?

By the way, You bare false witness many times in here. i guess since you have not stopped breaking that command, your not saved?
You claim you have stopped sinning. We both know that's a lie.
Remember what the Bible says about liars? (Revelation 21:8)

Yep. Thats what they think
The murderers are hell bound
but their oopsies are ok!! At least they did not murder!!
Just shows they have yet to repent.
You should study that a little more.
Jesus says to love God and love others means you obey all the other commands.
