jpgillespie2, now look at what Pickles has written, and if you know the relationship we have, you will know I doubt if there is any person here with a more gentle heart than Pickles. And I love her any day as much as I love myself, but if she is wrong, she is wrong. And I should honor God's Word more than I honor myself or Pickles.
I ask this.... God says in 1 John3:9... 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.
God did not say whosoever grew in Him to maturity does not sin, HE says if we are BORN of Him we cannot sin. That means the moment we are born of God sin is in the PAST! Now, is this BORN OF GOD and REBIRTH that Jesus mentioned in John 3 the same BORN or BIRTH. Yes! It has to be, becasue there is no THIRD birth!
So many people say they are born agan Christians, but God says these CANNOT sin, and they do! Are they born again, or born of God, when they still sin? NO! Or else God is a lier, God says... Whosoever is born of God sinneth NOT! Why do people say they are born again and still sin? Because they do not KNOW 1 John 3:9. And that lie of Rebirth and still sin came in good effect the last 40 years.
Here is a good one for you.... God says we should strive hard to enter into the straight gate, for MANY try to enter but FEW succeed. Who is this many that try, and who is the FEW that succeed. Is it not obvious in life? Is it not easy to discern which try and which succeed? Espesialy if we KNOW what God says about HIS ELECT CHILDREN. The ones that does not, cannot and NEVER sin are His, and the others are not. God said clearly HE KNOWS TO DELIVER HIS CHILDREN FROM UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.... If God delivers, it is DONE!
