You are living in sinless perfection? If so, say so clearly.None of my Bibles say that. Not a single one says "all are sinning and fall short", they all say "all have sinned" (past tense) and fall short.
You can quote me if you please, but quote correctly. I said sin, not sinning.None of my Bibles say that. Not a single one says "all are sinning and fall short", they all say "all have sinned" (past tense) and fall short.
@B-A-C are you with out sin?
Thank you for the reply. Much gets lost in forums because we do not have the benefit of eye contact or other facial expressionsNever said I was without sin, but I do not "practice" sin. I do not sin everyday.
That is probably a good thing when threads get cattyThank you for the reply. Much gets lost in forums because we do not have the benefit of eye contact or other facial expressions
So, Reba, How can a Christian have sin and still be the righteousness of God in the anointing? It cannot be done...Yet Jesus became sin so we could be made the righteousness of God in the anointing.....And we ARE the anointed ones.@B-A-C are you with out sin?
Uh....Why? Catty is not being in LoveThat is probably a good thing when threads get catty

Well, so you and BAC are living sinless lives?So, Reba, How can a Christian have sin and still be the righteousness of God in the anointing? It cannot be done...Yet Jesus became sin so we could be made the righteousness of God in the anointing.....And we ARE the anointed ones.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
1 John 2:20
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.
1 John 2:27
As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
You sure are fiesty lately! Why do you look to trap folks into mistakes? No..we do sin, but if we confess our sin, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness....That means we CAN walk a sinless life and be the righteousness of God in the anointing.... Are you saying that YOU'RE a sinner? Are you saying that you're not the righteousness of God in the anointing? You'd better get right then my friend....Well, so you and BAC are living sinless lives?
Good answer. I am covered by Christ's righteousness. By HIS blood am I cleansed.You sure are fiesty lately! Why do you look to trap folks into mistakes?

Thank you so much. (as though I need anybody's aproval) So you're saying that you're covered by His righteousness but you're not the righteousness of God? In the anointing of course....Or are you saying that you're not anointed? See how dumb these kinds of questions can be?Good answer. I am covered by Christ's righteousness. By HIS blood am I cleansed.

Reba Maybe you'll want to keep your verses in context when you use them....You cannot apply a statement about unsaved people to saved people...In John 1: 8 and 10 he's talking to the unsaved....Jesus took our sin on himself and was crucified for them and made us the righteousness of God in His anointing.... If I confess my sins, he forgives those sins and washes them away completely...restoring me to righteousness, so yes I CAN say that I have no sin and be totally truthful....Not sure what your bible says, but that's what mine says.1Jn 1:7 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.
1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Looking at the first chapter it really reads to me as written to believers
Yeah, but one's doubt doesn't determine what the Scriptures teach. I know someone who believes OSAS because sometimes he doesn't "feel" saved. That doesn't change what the Scriotures say. One of the biggest problems with OSAS is that it gives a false sense if security. People think the can sin and it'll be ok because they can't be lost. Maybe everyone doesn't think like that, but many do. And please don't say they aren't saved. That's putting the cart before the horse. No one has the ability to read another's mind. I think it's better to live life as best one can and if they're not sure, they're not sure., than to live as they choose with certainty only to find out at the resurrection that they were wrong. If we're unsure we tend to try to do better. If we're certain we tend to get lazy. Now, don't misunderstand what I've said here for an argument against the doctrine. This is just opinion. My argument is based in Scripture, not feelings and opinion.I understand your point Butch Seems to me when God saves some one they are saved , we just view His Word differently . Having been, literally born, in non OSAS for the first about 50 years watching people head to the altar , self included, to get saved time after time . I started questioning my understanding of His Word. As often with God many things hit us from different directions kinda at the same time. While i am looking at things differently ... A wonderful brother in the Lord is passing away Dad had been his pastor years before. Johnny called dad he was so afraid to die what if i am not good enough what if i am not saved over and over did i really confess all my sin? This life lesson left a mark on me. He does the saving we dont .. He saves us we do not save our selves .
Times back i would read Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. Saying but I can jump out of his hand .
When we are His sheep
Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Kinda a short version of why i believe as i do .
