As a believer we must moment by moment turn away from sin because God hates sin. Any time we feel a conviction from the Spirit of God that we have done something wrong(sin) we should immediately turn away from it and ask God for forgiveness. No one in this mortal body can walk through this life without committing sin at times simply because we have a flesh nature that wants to sin. However the idea that we just accept that we will sin, is an alien concept in the bible. The idea is that we do not commit sin, if we do then we ask for forgiveness and turn away from that sin and the blood of Jesus cleans us from all sin.
I honestly never feel convicted of sin in my life, does that mean my conscience has been seared or are my sins just not that bad in God's eyes? This is a serious question, I'm not being facetious and I'm being totally honost... sin is irrelevant in my life with Christ, I don't even think about sin as having anything to do with my walk with God because I can't see that it has any affect on my relationship with him.
I speak differently depending on whom I am speaking, whether it be a new convert or babe in Christ, or a person who claims to be mature and able to handle strong meat. In these forums we have those who claim to be mature, but are yet in darkness fumbling around in the dark. These are those who have constantly resisted the Holy Spirit and the Truth of God's Word. They do not seek understanding because they believe they already have it, and thus they are lifted up with pride and rebellion against the Truth as is written in the words of God.
So if I seem a bit blunt and harsh toward some it is because they are in constant rebellion against the Truth, and stubbornness is as the sin of idolatry and rebellion against the words of God is as the sin of witchcraft.

I don't known, it does not appear to me that your conscience is seared(however I don't really know). I am not saying there is anything wrong with your walk, because I really don't know, most of your posts seem sensible to me. I was saved at an early age and was immediately aware that I was a sinner and needed to be saved. After I was saved I became aware of sin when I did anything wrong and it has continued to this day. I don't go around thinking about sin, however if I do something wrong(which I do from time to time) I ask God for forgiveness.
To become humbled--- we just have to read the Sermon on the Mount-----people who want to do away with the law---- fine---- but now we have the !aw of Love---- Christ fulfilled the law---- we can only walk in Love by the Spirit---- if we c!aim God's Grace to live our lives---- this means we will be directed to holiness...
I agree with that.... the INCORRUPTIBLE word of God IS the DNA of the Christ in us.
Verse 4, 5 and 6 are the reason the man in verse 9 does not commit sin. The man in verse 9 doesn't NOT COMMIT sin because he has stopped coveting, lusting and lying etc. He doesn't commit sin because there is no law against such things in Christ BUT all those things are not expedient for him, but if he does them, he hasn't committed sin. Do you agree with this?
1 John 3:4-10 KJV
[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
SIN is the transgression of the law, there is no law for the believer. A Christian DOTH NOT commit sin because there is no such thing as sin for a Christian.
[5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
He took away our sin by ABOLISHING the law... there is no sin when there is no law.
[6] Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
He sinneth NOT because he CANT sin, it's impossible.

I disagree people object not just to his message but his abrasive manner and tone. If he wants to be a true teacher. He needs to pray and learn humbleness.
I actually agree with many of his doctrines but am horrorified at his bitterness and biting comments to others who don't understand or flat out don't agree with him.
And I find you an enabler for pulling up this thread and encouraging him to "teach" when he hasn't even learn to speak in gentleness.

No I don't agree, all unrighteousness is sin. Again your ideas sound like that Antinomianism, which is a lawless doctrine with no morals. Sins are listed in the NT as works or deeds of the flesh and as unrighteousness, which those who commit such and remain therein, shall not inherit the kingdom of God as is also written.
Yes, well a baby might not think they look like a baby and they might be convinced they aren't a baby and sometimes even pick up a book and pretend they know how to read, but you don't go on their own pretense and then beat them up because they aren't really reading. You bear with them and teach them one word at a time until they CAN start reading. And when they're in their terrible two's, you bear with them because others bore with you when YOU were there. And you don't beat them for soiling themselves, you patiently go over and over training them not to until they learn and grow. You are preaching the gospel and it is plain as day, but it is in how you are doing it that you seem to not be connecting with people in here at all. I think something is hindering the Spirits power and you will not be effective until you learn what it is.
