pschew

lmao

how do i make this frickin decision

10k is a lot!!!!

lol

I see.

Nigeria is that bad eh, Stingy people!

What is the difference between one who willfully sins - and maybe does not even believe - and one who believes and sins, even if its with regret?

The difference is, He who hasnt accepted Christ isnt a heir of the kingdom, simple.

I cant stop to think for one moment, there is someone on this earth that would NEVER sin,
if that was so frickin possible, Jesus death is to no avail, he didnt die to stop us from 'sinning'
He died to reconcile us back to God, and if anyone had any commonsense at all, you would. with the
new lease of life you have been given, do the right (the love drive)

God sees the heart, he knows who truely repented. and that's what His judgement will be on.

- Still posting from my phone -

Gamine,

Your last post finally has shown what is supposed to be.
Because initially your stance seemed to indicate that because of Christ's sacrifice, we wouldn't even need to ask for forgiveness for sins which crop up.
This is how I view the seeking forgiveness part:

When we ask for forgiveness, it shows that we have remorse for what we did. And that indicates that we care about what God thinks and says about those wrong things;means we love God.
Our seeking forgiveness doesn't do the saving or atoning;rather,it makes the position and state of our heart clear to God.
It makes God to determine our sincerity in the faith;as in whether we truly cherish the sacrifice of Christ and really love him.

On the other hand,a person who doesn't seek forgiveness only shows the state of his heart.He despises the sacrifice of Christ as he keeps on sinning without saying he is sorry and trying to change. I would say that such a person's manner says a lot about what he thinks of God and the sacrifice of Christ,and it sure ain't going to be in his favor cos the ruling could be:he was never in the faith.

I understand your point

As i said earlier, God sees the heart, i dont think anyone who truely has repented wont show remorse for his sins.
i mean!! it is TOO obvious, that the wrong never brings right!
the bible says we will fall, but we also have to do our part by fleeing from appearances of evil,
still. . .
if i fall and the devil uses that as an opportunity, to send me packing from this earth (which he is the prince of. .)
i will not be judged by that sin, i will still be cleared for eternal life.

Plain and Simple- It's Murder but it's Forgivable!

Period.

The point is not that we should go on sinning - Romans 6:1-2 expressly forbid that idea.

However, in our experiences, we find indeed that some may sin in one way or another. although as Christians it is not the experience we should desire. Does this help at all to put things in context?

I agree with this, not that a christian CANNOT sin, haba.

But then we ask for forgiveness not in the vein that our asking for forgiveness
would do anything but in the same you would tell your parents sorry, if you
do something they do not like because you love them.

Everything after Jesus's death should be love-driven
he said that Himself.
Love God
Love your neighbors as you love yourself

not

Fear God's judgement or
Never Commit Sins or
Fear Hell
Strive to get to heaven
e.t.c

Well, i was surprised

lol.

Its not a direct reason for Jesus dying <abi how do i put this in words>

It is a straight forward matter,

if you live anyhow in this life, you will die in a short time
You will also suffer the consequences of the sins you commit,
whether 'saved' or not

What is the 'saving' from , during the 'christian walk' 

i just cant grasp where you people get your explanations from.

Zikkyy:
I have gone through both links. Good write up no doubt but they dont say much about what happens to sins after believing and accepting christ. The sencond link was totally silent on the sins commited subsequent to the act of accepting Christ.

The illustration with the debtor even made it worse. What happens if the debtor incurs another debt? Will the creditor forgive him his debt because a third party has paid off the first debt? or will he be required to the liquidate the new debt all over again? That is the question. I think the illustration was all about the initial or original sin that was committed before the initial act of remorse and forgiveness.

Dude, did you see any reference to a past sin
The payment covers everything, past, present or future

Why is it so hard to see

Han, han

why is she talking like say she enter studio

@viaro
Exactly, Paul explains it all in Romans 7

Romans 8:8, 'In the flesh' doesnt mean physical flesh for goodness sake

I dont know why you guys are bent on a past, present and future sin

i like what Viaro says,

No, for we cannot even atone for any sin - past or present. It is Christ who does that, not we ourselves.

Even though he goes ahead to say,

A truly born again believer would not desire what is contrary to the new nature that he/she has received in Christ. But it is a known fact that some born again believers commit shameful sins (we see this in many worldviews as well). What happens then? Here's a direct answer to your question (or similar)

Its not a matter of what you desire, Paul said, the things he would wants to do, he cant. .e.t.c i cant remember
You are in this flesh, you are prone to sin.

Still, im getting the vibe that people here Do NOT sin.

One rejects the faith by his lifestyle; another shows proof of his faith by his lifestyle.
James 2:17-16 deals with this.

Remember, in 1 Timothy 5:8; it was what the person did/does; the action/the work that brought about the pronouncement of "denied the faith and is worse than an infidel".

The term "by their fruits u shall know them" deals with this.

Your works/lifestyle prove your faith; whether u do have it or you don't.
Note: That's all works do; prove/show one's faith and not give one salvation.

I have replied this before.

Where did u get such an idea about me? Huh Shocked

I'm only asking you: "When do we do the acknowledgement of sin,according to that passage?

i dont think the scripture implies a certain time to acknowledge sin
where do you get that??

@Maedan,

See dem face ,

This is the summary of all i am saying about faith in Christ:

The sacrifice of Christ has taken care of the sins of the past;those inherited through Adam,those which the law could not justify us from;those we were born with and those we committed before having faith in Christ.
Now, the blood of the sacrifice which did this is forever available and it is this which we apply to take care of the sins that still pop up in our Christian faith every now and then.
we do this by confessing and forsaking/repenting from the sins.
That is what 1 John 1:7-10 communicates.

This is John 1:7-10

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

what you posted IS NOT what it communicates
i didnt see anything about past, present and future sin.

We are in 'sin'

If we say we havent sinned, we make Him a liar and Jesus is not in us.
So if we acknowledge we have sin, Jesus is true and stands in place of us.

Simple.

It is possible for a person to believe in Christ but later get damned because he later rejected the faith by his lifestyle.

What do you mean by 'rejected the faith by his lifestyle'
If he didnt denounce Christ from his heart <once gain God sees the heart>
who are you to judge his lifestyle, especially when we all received the gift equally and undeservedly


I really suggest you read those links i posted in your free time.
Then maybe you'd better understand where i am coming from.<said that a dozen times>

Php 2:12
(12) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

I am sorry if i confused you with terms, but the long and short of it is that,
There is no working 'for' salvation, i should have used 'for' <i'm going to change it>
but
Did you read the whole chapter at all? do you understand where He was coming from.
Paul was just a man, teaching on living the 'Christian' life.

If at the time of believing the person is truly sincere; has been truly convicted by the gospel, that is all that is necessary for him to be accepted since he has no more life to prove or profess his faith.

A living person still has life and would need to go through a lot to try his faith and to show his sincerity of purpose so his case is different from the scenario of the sick person.

really.
