Well that would leave me with 6 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes to do other things.
Kinda like a bucket list, which I don't have.
What would be on that list? Godly things (So as to spread His love and goodness) or worldly things? Or a little bit of both?

As usual...we have a treatise on the righteousness and sinless perfection of Jason. I can't take anything he says or posts seriously...ever. This guy has the credibility of a pathological liar.
And such is a false accusation because you have not even once showed here on this thread where I actually lied.

Correcting others is loving the brethren. Telling them that should not believe in a doctrine that leads people into sin, is not wrong. That is what Once Saved Always Saved does. When you tell a believer they can accept Christ and that their sin debt is paid for (and you do not stress that they MUST live a holy life - otherwise they would be living a lie), then you are teaching them Antinomianism (Whether you want that to happen or not).
Jason, I am almost certain that you do not live your whole life as holy as you may think you do. I am sure there are times that you may slide, therefore what others do in their lives is no better or worse than each other.
Christ DID die for ALL sin.
ALL sin is bad in God's eyes, which is why He only wants His children to be perfect when He remakes heaven and earth.
There is no way you can not sin, and either way whether you accept it or not, you are sealed with the blood of Christ till the day you take your last breath here on earth God's word does not lie and promises He will always be with us no matter what comes our way.
Satan is always out to destroy lives, but thank God we have His protection. He knows Satan's trickery and how he lies to get us to follow him instead of God.
Satan is not bound yet, so there is always going to be sin in this world. Whether you are a safe child of God or not, he will always try to ruin and destroy people's lives.
Yes we have a choice, but God also knows our hearts and knows that we need Him.

Are you voting for him for President then?
You do realize that what your doing now will not be done in Heaven, right?
Nobody would be backbiting or joking about others in siding with someone who approves of another in making false accusations.
In fact, nobody would be joking in a hurtful way towards others... period.

Good grief Jason
This thread topic is a simple question...
Yet...as usual you have to write a novel...that ends in arguments.
Can you just ever answer a simple question?
Sheesh
Lord help me...its just.....rollseyes
I was skimming through this thread. Here's another response that had me in tears of laughter. I looked...Skylove7! I guess skylove has lots of humor. Just too funny.

As is my habit, when I get done posting this response, I'm going to read skylove's response again to get another laugh. Oh so funny.

No, Jesus did not die for all your present and future sin (Whereby you do not need to confess or repent of it). For why on Earth would Jesus tell others to repent if that was the case? Do you know how Jesus defined repentance? Jesus said the Ninevites will rise up against this evil generation because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. If you were to turn to the end of Jonah chapter 3, you would see that the Ninevites had turned from their evil and wicked ways as a part of their repentance. In fact, Jesus said to the woman caught in the act of adultery to.... "sin no more." I am pretty sure that means to stop sinning. Jesus even said this same thing to the lame man whereby Jesus healed his legs. Jesus said for him to sin no more, otherwise a worse thing could befall him. Does it sound like Jesus wanted him to sin again?

i'm not sure what i would do, could say this or that but only the Almighty knows really what i would do. It seems like it would be an exiting week, like i was going on my first trip to cedar point when i was a child, but i think it will be just like looking forward to a trip that will last for eternity. So without saying what i would do, saying it will be exiting, but fearful in a sense, fearing for how others will live out the rest of their lives, hoping they will endure to the end.

Jesus does not want us to sin because it is BAD!
It doesn't mean that we are not saved if we sin.

Sin causes all sorts of problems in our lives and just like you would say to your own child if he did something wrong....you would tell them not to do it again.
He was a living example of how we should be.
It's not like he would say ohhh it's ok you can do it again....

There are many examples in the bible where many men and women who continued to sin were saved.
If that were the case we would not make it into heaven.....
You sin, I sin we all sin.

That is why he said he who does not sin cast the first stone!

So how do you know you are going to be in heaven then?

Because of Jesus Christ and by the fact that I have repented of my sin to Him. My heart is humble before Him. If there is some future sin that might arise that may stand between me and my God, I will repent of it. Jesus works in me to do good things in my life; And only by the power of Jesus is such a thing possible.

But if Jesus didn't die for your future sins then you are not going to make it.......

No.

It is written...

"Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

Jason, why did you respond with those verses?
What do you think they say? Is there connection between them? Did not Hagar make fun of Isaac and or mock him? How do you think that relates with those believers who are mocking towards other believers today when you read Galatians 4:28-31 (with a special focus on verse 29)?

Hmmm. It appears that when you read the Bible
you are only seeing those parts you like and yet you ignore the rest of it.

Well, in order to help you, let me highlight the context for you.

It is written...

"Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.​
And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).


The word "were" is past tense. Meaning, believers used to be sinful. Past tense. Not present tense. Paul says be not deceived. Deceived by what? That the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.

I believe that it should be always like this; that nothing there is what we may do better, because if here is, we should do that now.
I disagree. When we think we have reached a point in our walk with God where there needs no room for improvement, I believe we are not allowing ourselves to be humble before the LORD. For we can always talk and walk better before our LORD. For the man of God is constantly examining himself and seeking to be more and more to be conformed to the image of Christ. Paul says know not your ownselves.

The greatest blessing that we have is a good conscience toward God even when we have not been perfect and have made mistakes and even sinned. To have a good conscience toward God is a result of having grace in our heart and we have in the light we have received by that grace through faith. The Holy Spirit records David's life in (Acts13:36) as having fulfilled all of God's purpose and will in his generation. We know there was issues of trouble and sin in his life, yet the NT does not make mention of them. David's sins where put away and he lived with a good conscience before God. We have the blood of Christ that has put away our sin and blessed is the man whom the Lord will not impute sin.

We do not have to have any regrets nor do we have to live or be condemned for the past. When we sin we have an advocate that has feed us from sin..
A believer is only forgiven of sin if they repent and or confess of their sin.

Yeh, you should pay attention to context

WASHED, SANCTIFIED and JUSTIFIED are all in past tense.

With eternal consequence, and the righteousness of God with out the law has been applied unto the believer by faith eternally.
Those that are considered unrighteous lack biblical saving faith, and still in their sins.

And the last time I checked the bible teaches Jesus saves to the uttermost and eternally.
