God's words are truth, which I have posted, but yet you do not believe them.

Ok....let's say that you still sin from time to time and do a work of the flesh - what sin it is - is really irrelevant.
Here is the setup: I post this:
I say "if you sin - then you are a child of the devil and you are not born of God and you are really a servant of sin."
Then I post this verse to "prove" you are still a child of the devil.
1 John 3:9 (KJV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
So, because you still sin - you are a reprobate, a child of the devil, accursed, not born of God and condemned to hell because you hate God's words.
I only speak God's word and if you reject it - you are rejecting Him but that's what reprobates do.
I only speak God's words and you will not hear God's words so you are cursed.
( all this I said was a bunch of religious nonsense with some truth here and there sprinkled in but out of context with the whole gospel message of the grace and love of God for us in Christ's finished work )
How would a young Christian learning how to live by Christ within them feel and think after seeing this bunch of religious nonsense spoken to them? It has great potential for harm.
So, "personal application" of scriptures to me is very important.

I've answered questions about many verses, but they still do not believe me, even you. But what I do not answer is all the personal questions about me that have nothing to do with making God's words true or not. God's words are truth by their self, not what others think of me. The only reason my posts turn into a roast about me is because those who hate only want to accuse, not that they care to know God's words.
Because they have no sincere intention in wanting to know the Truth, they just want to accuse and condemn me.
if you are not, i sincerely want to know whether you consider yourself saved or not purely on that basis, and if so, how you reconcile the existence of sin in your life with having been born again in the Spirit.
i sincerely want to know the truth about how the scripture can say that anyone who denies they have sin is a liar and that anyone born of God cannot ((continue in ?)) sin. i'd sincerely like to understand how both of these can be true without some kind of dualistic comprehension of our full current nature and state.
i'd sincerely like to know why it is tacitly assumed that any kind of dualism at all = gnostic heresy ((if that's really the case)). i'd sincerely like to know how that jives with scripture when it says such things as "it is no longer I who sin" and/or "it is no longer I who live" -- i'd sincerely like to know how such truths are not a description of a kind of dualistic state of the redeemed man.
[HR][/HR][HR][/HR]i'd also sincerely like to know how anyone thinks that refusing to answer questions leads anyone to the truth.

((P.S. -- not here to condemn anyone))

see. here is the thing- you have built a doctrine which you cannot defend. that is why you just make statements and then try to shout down anyone who asks a question, refusing to answer the question.
you can use the Bible, go heavy on sin and judgment , and build this doctrine ( garbage) you push. but when those us who use the entire council of God disagree, you just refuse to have a discussion ( this is the Bible DISCUSSION forum ), and just try to shout down everyone.

Would it be in scripture if it wasn't? If he allowed one thing that's not possible, He fails to uphold truth and ceases to be God.... I have not, but as I allow my mind to open and be transformed I do see my error and leave it in the last place I used it.. many things I use to do I no longer do.. if that's much has been true, why not completely?
