You just asked for forgiveness - not in those exact terms but that is what you did.

well he could. but the only people he could convince of that nonsense are people who never trusted God to begin with.
Those who truly repented and truly had faith, He could never convince of this.
You can only tempt a person who is falible to temptation. A true born again child of God KNOWS his sin debt, KNOWS how much he was forgiven, and repented because he wanted to come out of that life to begin with, He would never want to go back.

It is sad they do not comprehend the meaning of grace and what it empowers us to do. John said he wanted us to KNOW we HAVE ETERNAL LIFE (eternal security, why? So we can continue in sin? No. SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN HIS NAME.
our key to victory over sin is grace and knowing who we are in Christ, Not in laws..

1. If it was only tribulation saints, God would be a respecter of persons, giving them more requirements than us. That's not the way God works.
2. We know if we're pressing our way into the Kingdom
“The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it.
Philippians 3:
12Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I press on toward the goalfor the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. 16Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
Hebrews 6
1Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. 3And this we will do, if God permits.4For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.7For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.

There are so many reasons why sin confession for the sake of forgiveness is problematic. It is once again bringing in the ministry of condemnation that was suppose to lead you to Christ, not to more condemnation. It is a fear based construct, of sinning and then trying to obtain forgiveness (to avoid a penalty, for some death). How could we possibly place ourselves or others under this yoke of bondage? Do or die, this is the premise. The Gospel on the other hand is "done, now live."
I did not say apologizing to God
I am saying asking a Holy God to forgive you when you know that you have sinned. Or do you just say thank you Lord for taking that one agaoin for me. I think Hebrews 6 is needed here. so people take more seriously the relationship with CHrist instead of the Get out hell free card.
Hebews 6:1-8

Those who are saved will do as 1john and rom 6,7 tell us . and God provides grace during our santifcation process . And The Holy Spirit will lead us to repent for sin's we do as a Christian.

This needs to be brought foward.
" Indeed, we should be grateful. Sin confession for forgiveness on the other hand doesn't even begin to acknowledge the Son of God, His work and ministry. It doesn't recognize Him as mediator and High Priest. It is like seeking another sacrifice, going backwards, and as scripture says, "trampling underfoot the Son of God."
