You should take that to heart and cease teaching against what Paul taught.
That has nothing to do with what I said. I think the problem you have is scriptural ADHD. You jump all over and seemingly have trouble sticking with a text. You carpet bomb with texts thinking that it makes a coherent argument. Yet there's no dealing with the context. You just move to the next. And when someone else brings up a text, you don't deal with that text, but bring up three others. That is not a good way to get your point across. It makes it appear that you are desperately grasping at straws.No. In 1 John 2:1, John addresses them as "Little children" (brethren). He is writing his epistle to believers here and not unbelievers.
John says, in verse 2 (making a distinction between believer and unbeliever by saying): "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."

Every saint will die with unrepentant sin.That is just a baselesss accusation.
Anyways, I want to know what you believe or where you stand.
Do you believe a saint or believer can die in unrepentant sin such as lying, murder, hate, adultery, theft, etc and still be saved?

Where you went wrong is by not dealing with the text I quoted, and mentioning other texts that coveted different subjects.Why don't you show me where I have went wrong instead by pointing out the text itself in what it say?

There are no sins worse than others. All sin is lawlessness. If you commit one, you are guilty of them all.Even serious sins that lead unto death like adultery, murder, theft, etc.? The sins unto death are those sins Paul lists several times in the New Testament. Paul says be not deceived, the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. Then Paul lists various sins that will cause one not to inherit God's Kingdom such as murder, hate, adultery, theft, etc. Do you think Paul needed to teach the brethren against Universalism here? Be not deceived? By what? John also lists these "sins unto death" in Revelation 21:8, too. Committing these sins will cause one to be cast into the Lake of Fire (Which is the second DEATH, i.e. "sins that lead unto death, or the second death).
Please take note that "sins unto death" and "sins that do not lead unto death" are mentioned in 1 John 5:16-18.

It does speak as a whole. It must also be rightly divided. You cannot rearrange it as you see fit.Scripture speaks as a whole.
"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little" (Isaiah 28:10).

Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. - 1 John 3:4No. Not all sin is the same. If a person speaks bad against the Holy Spirit, it can never be forgiven. If a person takes the mark of the beast, there is no salvation for them. If a believer commits suicide, they cannot repent of such a sin and they would have in effect died in their sin. Also, read 1 John 5:16-18. It says there are sins that lead unto death and there are sins that do not lead unto death. Even Jesus says there is a GREATER sin Himself.

One gospel, which you don't seem to understand.I am curious. Do you believe in Mid Acts Dispensationalism or the belief that says there are two or more gospels?

And there you go again, jumping all over. I may have to bow out because you seem incapable of having a reasonable discussion. You seem, on the other hand, determined to make your point all costs, and not willing to deal even with the texts you bring up.And what did Jesus say to that believer who He did not know?
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness."
This is further supported by the fact of when Jesus said in the same chapter,
"And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand."

I said I believe there is one gospel. That is an unambiguous statement.Is that a yes or a no? Do you believe in Mid Acts Dispensationalism or the two or more gospel belief?

But you bring up texts at random and ignore other texts brought up. If I take the time to explain them, then we've gone off track once again.I brought up the texts and asked you to explain them, but you simply chose not to do so.
