When I say ungodly sights and sounds, I’m referring to secular music and television as well as anything on the internet that is unseemly.




JPT
Depends. See Romans 14. As long it is not ungodly or obsessive, it should not be a problem

Brother you repented and God forgave you.


There are millions of Christians believing they can live that way without repenting or confessing their sin and still be saved on the Day of Judgement.



JPT
False, there are NO Christians who believe such garbage. All religious folks who believe that are not true Christians, the Bible says...

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Is that a lie from the devil? We can agree that you cannot live like the devil and go to heaven. Yet it's blasphemous to teach that true Christians had a soft attitude towards sin. No, we hate sin!

I don't think we are supposed to hate people, that is evident here:

Leviticus 19:
17, "‘Do not hate your brother in your heart. Reprove your neighbor, for certain, and bear no sin because of him."
34, "‘Let the stranger who dwells among you be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself. For you were strangers in the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה your Strength."


but we are supposed to hate evil:

6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? 7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associatewith sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”
Amen

Your right, OSAS is not the gospel

The Gospel is God so loved the world that he sent his son, that whoever places their faith in him shall never die, but has in their possession eternal life.

this the gospel supports Once Saved Always Saved. (eternal life)
justpassingthrough is not a true Christian. He openly admitted he has no changed attitude towards sin! If there is just one Christian who believes he could live like the devil, then 2 Corinthians 5:17 is a fraud.

The above has to be one of the most man-centered and horrific renderings of John 3:16 I've ever seen. Robert Sandeman, Charles Finney and other heretics would be proud

Yes, but I don't believe that. The Bible is clear that Christians are new creatures and don't desire to sin
Paul teaches us we must learn to obey the Spirit within us, rather than the sin that dwells in our flesh.


Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
Romans 6:12-13


We all have a choice, to listen and obey what Christ and His Apostles instruct us to do or not.

We as born again Christian’s must choose to walk according to the flesh or walk according to the Spirit.


Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
Romans 6:16


  • you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

False, they never were true Christians, they never had eternal life, read 1 John 2:19

False and never true?

What are you talking about.


Where do you find those words in this scripture?

If you just add your words to scripture then to make it mean whatever you want, then why bother even reading and studying the scriptures.


Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:15


Whoever hates his brother


“His brother” refers to two Christian brothers.


Please don’t make the mistake of ignoring a scripture and explaining it away by adding your words to it.

Do I believe in the common OSAS doctrine? That doctrine that teaches you could live like the devil and go to heaven without repentance? No, I don't

Again, this refers to a false brother, see the Parable of the Wheat and Tares. Are you saying a Christian will instanly die spiritually at the moment he gets angry at his brother without a reason?

True Christians don't become slaves to sin. Indeed we have a choice, but does a true Christian make the choice to live ungodly? I think not

The phrase “I know Him” is the key.


Do you know what that phrase means?



JPT
This person may say he knows them, but actually he does not.

Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. 3 John 11

This verse does not say "may have seen God, but now lost him again". No, John the Baptist wrote such a person has never seen God. I think that should be clear, just like the fact that those who built on sand never built on the rock.

Yes, I am, and yes, there is stuff that grieves me. I have new desires to before, yet, about non sinful things we can have moderation. We are not to be legalistic.

See Romans 14. Not condoning sin in any way, yet we are not to create lots of rules, just walk in the spirit and you will lose obsession over sins you loved to commit before you were saved
