Hebrews 10 states
[26] For
if we sin wilfully after having the knowledge of the truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins,
[27] But a certain dreadful expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries.
[28] A man making void the law of Moses, dieth without any mercy under two or three witnesses:
[29] How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to the Spirit of grace?
We do not take sin lightly or attempt to claim imputed righteousness, but we are called to actually be righteous. When a Christian sins, he needs to have a spirit of repentance and confess his sins. In John chapter 20, Christ gave the apostles he power to forgive sins. That is the sacrament of confession
Faith is more than mental belief. We are supposed to stop sinning when we obtain faith, if we do not, then there is only a dreadful expectation of judgement
I am not in any way at all saying we should sin or that is perfectly OK to sin or be sinning in any way, shape, or form at all, etc, "at all", etc, but would just also like to point out that, the writer of that (Paul), also talked about "two wills" in us also, etc, and that it is possible for one of those wills to not at all be wanting to sin, but that the other one does, or can, or will, etc, and it puts a whole new "spin" on the definition of sinning entirely willfully or intentionally or not, etc...
And/or/but the real way to stop sinning altogether, is (it would seem) is for the one will that wills not to sin at all, to be made very much more stronger than the other will that does want to sin, and does sin often, etc...
And/or also and because, etc, cause this is also the tricky part also, etc, is that it cannot be self-will at all, etc, but has to be entirely God or God's will in you, etc, and all too many of us always resort to self-will in order to make the will that does not want to sin, overcome, or be stronger or better, etc, but the deception is that it is actually that self-will that is actually the will that is actually sinful, and actually wants to sin in actuality, etc, willfully, etc, which is why it is always so very "hard" when it/that (overcoming sin) is trying to be done by us that way (the way I just described, etc), the yoke seems very heavy and not light, etc, and it is heavy because that is not ever the truly right or truly successful way to ever do it ever, etc...
I mean, just think about it, your trying to make the will that does not want to sin stronger, only by only feeding the will that does want to sin actually stronger, etc, and just how do you think we're ever going to win or ever truly succeed that way, etc...?
But, yes, we are not supposed to be out to be sinning purposely or purposefully or quote/unquote "willfully" and intentionally, etc, however you want to define those things or see those terms, etc...
Most of us are just not going about it in the right kind of way at all though, and are only actually only going about it in a way that can never ever truly ever succeed, etc, and actually just makes things much much worse only, etc...
And, I'm still working on how to be truly successful and truly succeed, and succeed all the way and 100% totally and completely I mean, etc, but I see clear enough now I think to have seen or know this much thus far I think, etc...
I'll let you know how it is, or where it goes from here, etc, OK...
God Bless!
