Who put you in the seat of God? No godly man that I know would make such bold claims as to say they can tell someone whether or not they will inherit eternal life based on whether they sin.
I take it that you have never once thought a woman to be attractive since you became a believer. That you have never lied, been scornful of others, practiced deceit, sought revenge on an enemy in your heart, etc.
Have you not read that "whoever is guilty of one part of the law is guilty of all" and that "sin is transgression of the law." How then can there be "sin not punishable by death" for a believer? You have just declared adultery to be unforgivable. What other sins, in your opinion, are unforgivable?
Jesus names only one: "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit." Since there is nothing in the scriptures to indicate otherwise, it is theologically sound and accurate to believe that St. John is speaking of this sin when he says "there is sin that leads to death."
"If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us."
"Whoever practices sin practices lawlessness..."
"For we all stumble in many ways..."
"Therefore I myself serve the Law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin..."
"Walk by the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."
I teach what the scriptures teach as a whole, not divided up in a way that makes me feel more special than other people.
I think it is time for me to abandon this thread, though. I already know how you will respond to any scriptures that I put forth, saying that by the isolated and out of context verses you can quote you have already disproved what the scripture says elsewhere. It is the same thing you do with the trinity, with receiving the Spirit, and frankly anything else you don't like in the Bible.
Let me leave you with a couple questions from the Bible:
"15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness[c] were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
"Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by[a] the flesh?"
Obedience to the law (sinlessness) is not our way to salvation either before or after believing on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our faith in Christ is our way to salvation, and if we think that anything more than that is required, then we make Christ of no account.
