Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Ephesians 5:4
Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
Thank you for your time, I go now and block you out of my life.
It has nothing to do with dishonesty-and everything about understanding God's will/promises, of His purpose and plan for man. To be convicted of sin, to admit that we're worthless wretches, unable to be righteousness, is the first step in conversion to our Lord. It's the first step in being sinless, just as admitting ignorance is the first step in gaining knowledge. But to continue to repeat this, as if it's some kind of noble thing to do is not much different in the end from the Pharisee in Luke 18:11.
At some point God is saying, "Ok, ok, I know you're a sinner, but let's get past that point now. I didn't do all this just so you can remain a sinner-I never created you to sin after all. I've had a purpose and plan for creation from the beginning-to perfect it even if that involved a Fall early on. We're learning something here-that falling and sinning is bad, wrong, useless, not worth it-earning nothing but death. I didn't send my Son merely to win forgiveness for you but also for you to be enabled to "go, and sin no more". I want you on that path-a path I've made just for you. And I'll continue to walk with and work with you on it; I'll pull you back up if you slip and fall now and then as long as you care, as long as you strive. Then at the end of the day only I, your God, will give you a just judgment as to how well you walked that walk with all the grace I gave.
But I will, as I promised, place my Law in your mind and write it on your heart. Jer 31:32
What do you think ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; ROMANS 3:20 and JAMES 2:10-11 means? Whatsoever is not of faith is sin *ROMANS 14:23. If we do not believe and follow God's WORD it is sin.What do you believe sin is, sweet peas?
To be accurate, they have not been born of God. (1John 3:9) Christians are followers of Christ. Many Christians are on the path to life. They just haven't arrived yet, a fact of which many of them admit to.People who willfully (practice) sin are not Christians.
Everyone sins and everyone commits willful sin and there are no exceptions to this rule.What do you believe about Christians committing willful sins of lawlessness? Here is a Statement from Martin Luther: "(For those in Christ) even if we were to commit murder and adultery 1000 times a day it would not separate us from God."
Do you believe as Martin Luther whose statement evolved into the OSAS doctrine, or not? Can someone be assured of salvation if they willfully sin like stated with no repentance? Are they still the "elect"?
I see the question as having a contradiction, like saying is a person on a diet who over eats still on a diet.
Why in the world would a person “in Christ” murder 1,000 times? Not very Christ-like behavior. So, I reject the ‘once saved, always saved’ hypothesis.
Is obedience ‘works?’ No, as James said, works is the consequence of faith. I find since I received the Holy Spirit, I ask for forgiveness MUCH more.
Not in the text we are talking about.
Sin will still win the wage of death. Man does not escape his obligation to be righteousness under the New Covenant. Instead, now that he's convinced of his failure to be able to obey on his own, he's finally ready to receive the means to fulfill that obligation; he's given the pathway to God to put it another way, a trip that begins with faith, faith in God instead of himself. Because God can accomplish in us what we cannot. And Jesus came to reconcile us with HimThat inheritance is paid on death.
that's a dangerous road, considering what the Bible says of those who who put stumbling blocks in front of believers.

I know what sin is. That is why I don't do it.
1 John 1:8-10
James 2:10
Are you claiming to be carnally righteous by the law of sin and death? (Deuteronomy 31:26)
I believe Jesus when He says He takes away our sin. I see many here don't believe Him.
Death is overcome as sin is also overcome in us, the two go hand in hand-a free gift yet one we can always reject. Again, faith is still required, and faith doesn't replace or excuse the need for true righteousness in us; it provides the pathway to it.If a person thinks they can Hebrews 2:14 as the second Adam, they have a God complex.

You are confused. Everyone here believes JESUS takes away our sins. It seems some think however that we can be saved by continuing in known unrepentant sin. This is unbiblical. Yep many are going to be disappointed come judgment day *MATTHEW 7:22-23; HEBREWS 10:26-31. JESUS saves us from sin not to continue in it *JOHN 8:31-36. Only those who endure temptation to the end BELIEVING and FOLLOWING God's WORD are the ones that received eternal life *JAMES 1:12.I believe Jesus when He says He takes away our sin.
