You are the one who quoted from Hebrews to inform Christians that if they "wilfully sinned" they would come under God's judgment and wrath. So can you honestly say that you have never ever "wilfully sinned"? And if you have wilfully sinned and God has not unleashed His wrath against you, then it means that you tried to take a passage out of context to promote a false doctrine.
So let's go back to Hebrews 10:26,27: For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. If this passage were meant to be of general application, then every Christian would be facing the wrath of God -- "judgment and fiery indignation" -- as an "adversary" of God.
Let's take the example of Peter when he chose to separate himself from Gentile Christians and had to be rebuked by Paul. Did he sin wilfully by choosing to do what was wrong? Absolutely. Did he come under God's judgment immediately? Absolutely not. No doubt he accepted Paul's rebuke gracefully and made sure that he would not repeat that behavior. So now you have to do the same and admit that you took a passage out of context and created confusion in the minds of others.
You are the one who
quoted from Hebrews to inform Christians that if they "wilfully sinned" they would come under God's judgment and wrath.”
Exactly because of people don’t ever accept that and believe it’s not true they will never repent I also quoted from Ephesians , Galatians , Romans the exact same things.
YOU said we should disregard Hebrews because it’s written to the Hebrews.
so are you saying Hebrews are warned. It to keep sinning or they will fall under greater jidgement than the law ? But that’s doesn’t apply to gentile Christians ? That seems to be exactly what you were saying .
so rather than avoiding what you said can you answer the simple question ?
as far as me and my life that doesn’t change what scripture says.
this is true and shouldn’t be explained away because like I’m telling you it’s not meant to condemn it’s meant to lead you to repentance so you understand the truth “ I can’t keep sinning willfully and pretend I’m saved “
it’s sort of what happens anytime people see scripture they don’t agree with “ well tha ya just for the Jews doesn’t apply to me “ my point is it applies to me , you and everyone else.
repentance is required isnt point as long as we tell ourselves “ I’m already saved doesn’t matter if I keep sinning or not I’m saved “ that’s contrary to what’s in scripture. And then we turn to “ well see you sinless you sinless perfectionist “ lol
I believe what it says do you ? And because I believe it I understand I have to repent and not keep sinning willfully and knowingly and nope I don’t sin willfully and knowingly ever if I do something wrong and then realize I have I repent and confess what I’ve done and understand this part
“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.
If we say that 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 to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
1 John 1:7-10 KJV
If I pretend sin is irrelevant I’ll never get to that part and if I start saying “ confessing is a work “ I’m just avoiding the truth .
it’s like some of you think if one scripture is true The other can’t possibly be true it’s meant to all go together to lead believers to understand “ I can’t keep sinning it does matter if I do it will
Lead to judgement if I don’t repent “
when we don’t want to stop sinning we reject it and say “this other scripture says grace so that’s not true “ it’s because we want to keep living formoir self do we pretend sin doesn’t matter
if we acknowledge the truth it will bring us to actually repent and stop pretending sin doesn’t apply to us anymore. They will never lead anyone to repent but the truth will unless we get angry herring it lol and start trying to call someone a sinless perfectionist who happens to it’s a bunch of clear scripture we didn’t want to end else to see
Does this make you think you are lost ? Or does it make you think “ maybe I better actually change my ways ?”
“But after thy
hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
But
unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the
Jew first, and also of the
Gentile;
But
glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God.”
Romans 2:5-11 KJV
Does that make you think our actions whether sinful or upright don’t matter to salvstion ?? Or does it make you think “ I better repent and start living the things I believe because I’m going to be judged by my deeds like everyone else is ?”
of course when we’re convinced “ what I do doesn’t effect salvstion “ we can’t really accept scripture that’s meant to change our Will against sin warning us of the truth about judgement
does that at all make you think I should repent and actually take account of my own actions ? Or does it make you want to argue out how I live my life ?
