Who gave you permission to speak for me? I've never sought to justify any sin, personal or otherwise.
This covers it extremely well -The law RIGHTFULLY reveals, judges and condemns ALL SIN in any in whom it is found. No 'grace' people are going to have their sins JUSTIFIED under Grace.
That ain't gonna happen. Sorry to burst yer bubble.
I uphold the LAW and expect SIN to become utterly SINFUL. That is the Divine Intention for LAW in preparation for FINAL JUDGMENT and eradication.
The law is not meant to 'save the world' but to condemn the workers of iniquity, rightfully so.

This covers it extremely well -
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
I am not arguing with that. For, when we sin our actions are representative of the actions of the devil. We are either resembling the Lord in our actions, or the devil.
But, you have presented it to mean that when a believer sins? That the devil is possessing the believer in that sin, and is sharing in the experience with that sin simultaneously with the believer who is committing that sin. That equates to being momentary demon possessed.
It does not say...
He that committeth sin is sinning with the devil.That's how you altered the Word of God. Its a distortion of what it means.
A better translation would read more like...
When anyone (a believer in view) commits/does a sin . . .When you take on the actions of a certain person with power. You become an agent of that person.
he has become an agent of the devil/accuser/slanderer
because the devil has sinned from the beginning.
Actually, squint is right, Scripture supports the view, as can be shown, I'm a few steps.
First, Paul, the person does not commit the sin. It is the Devil IN him doing it:
I can read as well as the next guy genez. No pets in my book.
There is no double standard employed by God in Christ with regards to sin. It's all demonic from thought to word to deed and starts with internal temptation of the tempter. If one has no perception or 'division' within them they will only think it's their own mind. It's not.
I don't suffer from that particular 'end times' view.
Sorry!
OK Squint..
Its apparent. You can not handle the TRUTH, The LIFE, and The WAY.
But, He sure can handle you.
It is all about loving God and others brothers and sisters.
The OT, NT agree. Being led by the Spirit of God is good. Men could not please God so God spoke mercy to the cross and sent the Holy Spirit to guide directly into the loving arms of our Creator.
Thank God for scripture.This is the exact area where you fall on your face in failure repeatedly. You haven't found one instance of God requesting, asking, or commanding us (either Gentiles or God's adopted children) to keep the sabbath. When you continue to contradict the Law with this pathological obsession, the quote from Isaiah 8:20 identifies this pattern as darkness we should dismiss. And we do, in obedience to Scripture.
Your comments have shown that you won't acknowledge the ownership rights Jesus has over the sabbath as 'Lord of the sabbath', where Hebrews 10:9 testifies "He takes away the first that He may establish the second" denoting His taking away the first covenant that contained the sabbath.
We also went through an entire thread you created (Why not Jesus?) where you showed that you simply can't tell the difference between God's rest and the sabbath Jesus differentiated apart when He said it was "made for man". Repeating your unsupported fairy tale about God requesting us to revert to the sabbath amounts to leaving His rest that we have entered into by faith. Even if you can't comprehend this distinction Jesus made -and you quoted His statement from Mark 2:27- others can, and your own perception is the reason your posts are met with uniform rejection:
For purposes of this topic, God loves us and is equally against the factual sin we all have, which is of the devil.
This is a fairly simple observation, but it is an observation that escapes those who think they are sinless or that their sin is not of the devil.
God in this is both Ally and Foe to each of us.

Showing humans how to be in a relationship with God by the 10 commandments is good. Humans incappable of doing them, shows a need for God. God provides a way, Himself.
Why? Because I don't hold to that form of end times view?
You seem to have been around the block long enough by now to know that there are NUMEROUS end times views.
And obviously 'few' agree on much of anything in that arena. You have simply bought into a certain construct which I am equally certain could be dismantled in very short order.

God is not the ally of evil and sin.
Unfortunately those are matters that we are given to contend with.
