Is it not better, to encourage others, rather than crush them. Yes, I know you like to often state you do not commit wilfull sin, you are at a level in your Christianity others have not reached, you were ONCE where you believe others are now, etc. That doesn't sound very loving to me, other words spring to mind, but...
Taking 1 John 1:8 and teaching the youth they are doomed to sin, repent, sin, repent, sin, repent, sin, repent, sin, repent, sin, repent, sin, repent, sin, repent, is not the true gospel. Jesus was manifest to take away our sin, and in Him there is no sin, because He gives us His powerful Holy Spirit. If you continually walk in the Spirit you won't sin. But, you do have the ability to quench the Spirit, which is why Paul told us not to. The suffering associated with quenching the Spirit teaches us not stop and be a true witness.
