It is written that we have an Advocate Who we can go to to seek mercy, grace, and forgiveness when we sin.
We are not sinless, nor perfect.
Just "forgiven".
Are you saved?
The scriptures I quote say that the saved do not sin because the old sinful self dies and a new self is made by God.
People may not like to hear that, but its what the scripture says.
Peter sinned and Paul had to admonish and correct him.
Peter wasn't saved?
If the saved do not sin, I am not saved because I still sin.
The scripture I quoted says the saved do not sin. They are tempted to sin, yes, but they DO NOT SIN.
Hence Jesus telling at least two people (the mad at Bethesda and the Woman caught in adultery) to "sin no more".
When did Peter sin?
You say you are not saved.
You're going to hell, Ink?
When he rejected the Gentiles and was deceptive about eating with them.
Are you deaf or something (well, blind, as its typed)?
I have already answered that. I am not answering it AGAIN. Read the previous answer.
Is that sarcasm? Especially with a cutting edge to it?
That's sin, isn't it?
Linky and quoty saying its sin....
How many times do I have to tell you that yes I sin, and thus those scripture verses tell me I am not saved?
Would you like me to cut and paste it another 14 times to separate posts where you ask me the same question over and over?
Obviously, you haven't thought this through. There are too many questions left erroneously answered by unwritten presumptions.
I do claim Jesus as my Lord. But I still fail to live for Him as I ought. I still willfully sin and imagine that this will continue until I die.
I believe he will enter heaven before many of us....... To be deceived, you have to already believe that you have already obtained something that you havent yet. What is the state of one who believes they can sin and be saved.....only needing to recite a few words with their eyes closed after each sin.....?You say you are not saved.

The ones who the feast was prepared for will not come.....it is those standing on the highways who will be the primary guests....yet we stand looking at those on the highway...saying "Im glad im not like those guys over there"
"Im glad im not like those guys over there"
I dont believe anyone would say this.....so not to be identified with the verse you mentioned...for starters.Who SAYS that, Raymond?
That's quite despicable, isn't it?
That's exactly what Jesus was referring to when He gave the account of the tax collector, so aware of his sins that he was too ashamed to even come close but simply said 'forgive me, a sinner' while the other guy said how he doesn't ever sin, and how thankful he was that he wasn't like "those guys".
Man oh man, that self-righteousness is a bear, amen?
