I didnt think you were saying that sin is ok. Only that you cant not sin, and are going to sin in the future. Jesus said to sin no more...I believe we can....yet I have no problem with those who believe they cant.You say you find nothing wrong with my interpretation of REPENTANCE and then you proceed to post as if you totally misunderstood what I said.
This sounds to you like I'm saying it's OK to sin because we could never help ourselves. This is not what I'm saying.
Jesus told the woman to go and sin no more...IOW, she should stop doing what she was doing. He wants all of us to stop sinning.
So then why did John write 1 John 1:8-10?
Children, DO NOT SIN,
But IF YOU DO SIN...there is a remedy.
Why did John write 1 John 3:9
"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
Peter seem to link the idea that one cannot stop sinning, to those that are cursed:
"Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:"
I dont go along with the idea that everyone continues to sin, but some, if they believe a few things, are forgiven......therefore, forgiveness is the only separation between the saved and unsaved sinner.
But again, I find no fault with those who do believe this.
I agree about the turning back. We are not to feel sorry for our past life which may, or may not, have been chock full of sin. We ALL sin in one way or another. There is none righteous, no not one. We all fall short of the glory of God.
This is the teaching aspect of your speeches. Telling the reader about them, and not just discribing your own experiences. You sin in one way or another. I believe you in this. I happen to also believe that there are others who dont and cannot.
I don't "teach" others to look back; I've used that verse many times.
I'm also not here to teach...
That implies that those hearing accept what I say.
Also, I hope you really do understand what repentance means.
It's important to understanding our walk with God.
Thanks, I hope you really understand repentance as well.
