Look.....I have seen what you write and until you start being honest, open to the truth, quit putting the ox before the cart in your mixed up theology and be open to learning and insteuction, nothing you say to me has value.....Make no mistake....what you habe been peddling here is false, it is not correct and it devalues Christ, his work, his blood, his promises, his power, his faith, his salvation, his truth and what the bible teaches.....You have conflated numerous issues into a quagmire of fallacy......and this view that you have a special revelation from God that few know....is BS........the word is of no PRIVATE INTERPRETATION and make no mistake......You are not selling the truth........so....unless whay you have to say is....I am wrong in my interpretation and I need help understanding my error....I am not interested.....!!!

We are told not to keep sinning.
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
1 John 5:18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “the Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
Acts 26:17, 18 …I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
I couldn't care any less what Mr. Strong says, unless he wants to debate here.
We have to change our mind about wanting to sin.
The Word of God says to CONFESS your sins with your mouth to God and to stop sinning.
John 5:14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
1 Corinthians 15:34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
2 Peter 2:14 With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood![/QUOTE]

Even Jesus said, "None good but God".......yet they, in their mind, actually believe they can make the cut by what they do.............which actually makes them more wicked than Hitler because they devalue the work of Christ, call God a liar by their words and belief and trample underfoot the precious blood of the lamb...........

Based upon reading what you have written I believe your testimony would go something like this.....
I woke up one day and realized I can love God enough to get God to love me back and upon receiving a special revelation tailored just for me I knew I could make myself a child so God would give me the free gift of eternal life. Thank you for making me special and that I am not like these other sinners....I just make mistakes once in a while and I am very super duper obedient and serve God by doing many wonderful works..Jesus HAS TO ACCEPT ME because of ALL I do
Note...you have said everything I referenced above

Just a thought.....true obedience out of love is based upon God loving us and giving himself for us.........I believe that is what he is referencing.....NOTE THE PLAY Jesus makes on the word love when addressing Peter....he uses two forms of the word.....that might help explain it a bit
