I am not lying.
I am merely asking for clarification of something that you raised yourself in this thread.
I'm really curious if anyone knows the answer to the title question now. Or do you still believe you can't do anything BUT sin?
And I have answered. Period.
No.
You haven't.
There's no need for anger.
You can still bear the consequences of unintentional sin. It is the difference between a babe in Christ still on milk, and a mature Christian who can now handle meat.
The answer then, to your question posed in the title is "yes".
Thank you.
So you are saying you know why a Christian cannot willfully sin? Good. Then why can't you relate to what I've been saying? You seem to be at odds with 1 John 3:9
a Christian cannot willfully sin?
Regarding two sins I am serious to myself that leads to eternal condemnation.Peter also deceived everyone when he ate with his Gentile brothers and wanted to hide it because he didn't love his Gentile brothers in Christ.
Paul had to chastise him for such bigotry.
Was he a Christian/saved?
Did he sin?
You did.
You say you were a Christian at the time.
What happened?

1. Mark 3:28
"whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness forever, but is guilty of an eternal sin.."
2. 1 Corinthians 6:18-19
"Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a person commits is outside his body, but the one who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?".
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
"Do you not know that you are God’s temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy this one. For God’s temple is holy, which you are".
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, just as also the Gentiles who do not know God..."
Hebrews 10:26-29
For if we keep on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that is about to consume the adversaries. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment do you think the person will be considered worthy of who treats with disdain the Son of God and who considers ordinary the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy and who insults the Spirit of grace?
But, when Peter showed partiality for jews, it was corrected by Paul, which is not a serious sin, but Peter with humility accepted the correction from Paul, who is younger to him.
s not a serious sin

As far as I can tell, you are suggesting that the last time you sinned was in the late 1980s.
Since that time, are you saying that you have perfectly loved God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength and perfectly loved your neighbor as yourself?
Since that time are you saying that you’ve been perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect?
Since that time have you had no idolatry or false worship in the heart and have relied and depended upon God alone for all things?
Since that time has your heart been free of all sinful anger?
Since that time have you perfectly forgiven all those who sin against you and never desired to take vengeance upon them?
Since that time has your heart been free from all covetousness?
Since that time have you had perfect zeal in your heart for the things of God at all times?
Since that time have you never once been resentful, boastful, or insisted upon your own way?
Since that time have you been perfectly devoted to the Lord?
Since that time have you glorified God in everything that you do?
Don't you know the difference between willful sin and unintentional sin? Or are you one of those who think all sin is willful? If so, then no wonder you are badgering me.
If Peter willfully sins, he would have justified it with ego against Paul, but he accepted the correction from Paul with humility. Who are we to accuse Apostle Peter?. Kindly consider your words when stating against Apostles.Yet he sinned.
Was he a "Christian"/saved when he sinned?
You yourself stated it was "willfull".
You yourself stated that you willfully sinned. You were a Christian/saved at the time, correct?
Apparently Christians can and do sin, according to your own words.
This answers your own question.
Amen?
By the way, false accusations are a sin.
If Peter willfully sins, he would have justified it, but he accepted the correction from Paul with humility. Who are we to accuse Apostle Peter?. Kindly consider your words when stating against Apostles.
You still don't understand. I never said it was a willful sin against God. If you don't know what a willful sin is, maybe that's the miscommunication in language you are making me suffer.
