I agree. In all of your posts I would say that you are not being judgmental even though there have been sometimes strong disagreements.
In the scriptures it's written in Proverbs 15: 28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer:
Acts 18:4 does saying that "Every Sabbath" Paul was preaching the Gospel in worship services , preaching to both gentiles and Jews.
At best, that would have been synagogue attendance. The development of the system of synagogues occurred in the century or so prior to the coming of Christ and, thus, postdates all of the Old Testament. There is not a whisper about synagogues in the Old Testament.
I plead guilty on that count. The reason I provided my explanation is both for yourself and others on this thread. There is a very common misconception that repentance means giving up sin in order to be saved. That leads to an ultimately frustrating and fruitless treadmill of working for one's salvation.
Its no misconception, its in our Bibles. It's not our work, its God's work in us if we allow Him to through faith and love John14:15-18 John15:4-10. We should not allow the devil who wants us stay in our sins, to be bigger than our God to save us from our sins, what He came to do Mat1:21
Have you completely and fully come to a point in your life where there is not a single sin that you commit or will commit?
This is not about anyone personally its about all of us and the promises of the Scripture. Sin is not something to take lightly or something we should be perpetually doing. We may fall from time to time and it should be painful because of what it did to Jesus on the Cross. When we go to Him and confess which means being truly sorry and seeking His help in overcoming, He cleanses us, He has so much mercy and grace, but He is also a God of justice. Exo20:6 James2:11-12 Rev11:18-19 The dangerous place is being comfortable in our sins and stop listening to the Holy Spirit convicting us of our sin and rebellion to God. Heb3:7-19. Jesus promises He has a people who overcomes and I beleive Him. Rev 14:12 Rev 2:7, Rev 2:11, Rev 2:17 Rev 2:26, Rev 3:5,12,21, Rev 21:7 Rev22:14
If it isn't about individuals such as yourself and myself, then who is it really about? Everyone else, but us?
I answered this in the post you are replying to. You made it personal about me, I said its about all of us. God is not partial Romans 2:11
Actually, because I have not yet met any person who has completely and totally repented of their sin, I was thinking that, based on your post, you might be the first person or, at least, could direct me to someone who could show me how to do that. At this point in my life, I am totally lost, having not fully and entirely repented of my sin. If you can't help me, then I will leave you alone.
I would imagine that's because its between them and God.
I can only share what the Scriptures say we are to do on how to overcome our sins. I am happy to share those Scriptures if you would like them.
Have you completely and totally overcome your own sins? If you have applied the Scriptures and it has resulted in full sinlessness, I would love to do the same. Unfortunately, I have read the entire Bible over 50 times and attended church my entire life and have failed miserably to totally overcome sin. I am completely lost and need your personal help. Thank you!
Do you beleive in the promises of the Bible that we can overcome sin through Christ?
No. No where in the Bible is there evidence of anyone, except Jesus Christ, who was without sin completely and entirely.
We have all sinned, why we need the next verse 1John1:9 but the Bible also indicted we can overcome. I already posted those Scriptures- do you beleive them?
