Choosing to sin, after we have received the knowledge of the truth, is choosing to be lost.

It has always been my understanding that God knows His Children, adopted or otherwise. Any children who reject goodness, Yeshua-Jesus, would yet be without father.

2 Thessalonians] 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2 Thessalonians] 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2 Thessalonians] 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
unrighteousness IS SIN, unrighteousness IS DISOBEYING GOD
We can all quote verses and make them say what we want them to say. More convincing if the context is discussed as well.

To "sin willfully" (Hebrews 10:26) in the Greek carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action, a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally" fall into a pit called sin. We exercise our will but, the use of the participle clearly shows ongoing, willful, habitual action. The unrighteous practice sin (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21); not the righteous, who are born of God (1 Corinthians 6:11; 1 John 3:9)

This does not mean that believers NEVER sin at all and those who believe they live a sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolute perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived) are suffering from a terminal case of self righteousness. (1 John 1:8-10)

EZEKIEL 18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked [man] doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. [ GOD does not change ]And has no respect of persons
James5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. [ this tells us if we see A brother [in CHRIST ] err, [means sin ] an And we warn him, that CHRISTIANS are NOT TO SIN, and he repents and don't sin, then he is saved from death, [ but if he don't repent, this is what will happen to him.
HEBREWS 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. the consuming fire of GOD, will devour him,
All sin is willful. A man sins when he is drawn away by his own desires.
Also if you say you have no sin, the truth is not in you.
Sinless perfection is not even a reality, which isn't to say we don't resist or even flee fr sin, but of you make it through a whole day with out sin that night you will be puffed up with pride and self righteousness, which is indeed sin.
We are over commers by the blood of the lamb, not but our works righteousness. To say we over come by our works of righteousness is also a sin self righteousness makes us our own God. Which is the sin of Satan himself to desire and attempt to be God.

ROMANS 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
3:25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
PAUL IS TELLING US THAT THE GRACE IS FOR THE SINS THAT ARE PAST, NOT SINS THAT WE HOLD on to AND keep sinning, or commit after we get CLEAN OF OUR SINS, THAT JUST MAKES US DIRTY SINNERS AGAIN, AND WORSE THE ONES THAT HASN'T COME TO CHRIST, SOMEONE THAT SAYS THAT HE HAS REPENTED AND JUST KEEP SINNING IS WORSE THEN THE SINNER, UNTILL HE DOES OVERCOME AND QUITS COMMITTING SIN.WHICH I PREY THAT FOR US ALL,
Just getting all sorts of things wrong sir.

Paul is addressing past sins BEFORE Jesus came to pay for them. NOT future sins a born again Child of God may commit.

I asked you earlier, and you did not answer. Have you ever willfully sinned since believing in Christ?

Have you taken the place of God so you can judge? Perhaps you need glasses, God doesn't need them.
Seeing things makes one God-like? Interesting. You just got caught in your own trap. You made a statement, I concur, then you accuse me of having a God complex. Too funny. The truth is you argue just for the joy of arguing.

No all sin sin not willful, Willful SIN is when YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS SIN AND WE STILL COMMIT THAT SIN, THIS IS WILLFUL SINNING,
THEN THERE IS SIN THAT WE DO THAT GOD HAS NOT SHOWED us is SIN, UNWILLFUL sinning
GOD is NOT going to judge us FOR sins that HE has not SHOWED us that is sin, Now IF we do not really want to know something is sin, then I would think that he would judge us on it if we don't really want to know that something is sin so we could keep on doing it.
We are to want to know know when something is sin that we mite not sin unwilfully.

We are over commers by the blood of the lamb. not so
It is the faith that we believe in YESUAH, THAT he died on the cross, in our place, for the sins that we have COMMITTED, And BY that Faith that we have, that he has washed us, Gives the strength through his spirit, we overcome COMMITTING SIN, BECAUSE of HIS love FOR US, we love HIM,

not sins that we commit after, if we sin after he cleans us,
we haft to go back and get clean again.

YES and did fall, AND WAS IN A WORSE PLACE WITH GOD, AND was A filthy and dirty sinner just like I was before I came to YESUAH, NEEDING YESUAH POWER AND CORRECTION and loving hand to lead ME BACK into REPENTS AGAIN, that is why we have A advocate with the Father, that we can go BACK AND GET CLEAN AGAIN

If you study you will see that he is A father to those to those that OBEY HIM,
LUKE 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? [If we are not OBEYING HIM,
HE isn't OUR LORD ,THAT'S WHY],

6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like:
6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

evidently you do not know the different in Willful sinning and unwillful sinning,
God does not count sins against us till he show us it is sin, by someone else or by his WORD,
But this UNWILFULL SINNING TILL GOD SHOWS US THAT IT IS SIN, THEN it becomes willful sinning'

10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. the consuming fire of GOD, will devour him,

The difference lies in those who embrace sin and those who mourn and regret their sins and try and resist however feebly.
And i don't need a raft of scripture to know this.

BUT it will be that overcome their sins that will receive eternal life. And the BIBLE is the only is the only thing that we can trust to show us our SINS.
Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
[Notice that these was wash, meaning that they need wash again.]

HEBREWS 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
All sin is willful, we know by the law what sin is. We know sin because it is written for us to know.
If not then give an example.

If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and 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 1:8‭-‬10
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1 John 2:1‭-‬2

We can't take any verse of scripture as if it were written in a vacuum. The book of Hebrews is a letter to the Hebrews, in other words Jews. The theme of the letter is that Jesus is the promised messiah, and the final sacrifice. There by ending the sacrificial system, and fulfilling and completing the law. For the not to shrink back and return to the sacrificial temple law system. To become an apostate which is the same for the pagan actually, if we abandon our faith for something else. This is not about common sin, which is common to us even the believer.
Yes we resist and loath and flee from sin, but we also succumb to sin often.

We do over come by the blood of the lamb, you say by faith but even faith given to us is grace given because of the sacrifice of Jesus.

And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.

no I do not believe that the BIBLE teaches no where in it that we can continue in sin, and be saved. neither do I believe that he tells some that they haft to endure, And tells others that they can keep sinning and be saved,
THIS is A lie OF Satan, just like Satan lied to Eve and was deceived, GOD does not have no respect of persons,
DEU 1:17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; [but] ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment [is] God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring [it] unto me, and I will hear it.
ROMANS 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
EPH 6:9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
COL 3:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
James 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

Again about appostacy, not common sin. Even Peter was corrected by Paul. Did his hypocrisy condemn him forever? No certainly not.
Even the man excommunicated in 1 Corinthians is allowed back in 2 Corinthians. Paul in Romans 7 is quite clear. In his confessional was he condemned by what he admitted was sin? No, and he explained.
