You are not saying a thing about the Scriptures I cited before ... just going somewhere else. Tell me something: do you believe that these people here didn't put faith on Christ too? Matt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in...

Not liars will inherited God's Kingdom. To lie is a very bad sin. A true Christian does not lie under any circumstances. The lie had its origin in the Evil One, and those who lie originate from Him, not from God.

I still don't get this: why some try to differentiate between fruits and works, or between salvation and rewards ... It is convenient for their "salvation" understanding, I guess ... because in the Scriptures there is NOT any difference: rewards have to do with salvation, and fruits have to do...

As John said: there is "sin that does incur death" and another that does not. Evidently those mentioned by Paul here are some of the ones that incur death: 1Cor 6:9 Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral...

Let me put an example maybe you can understand: in the first century there were some expelled from the congregation because they practiced "sin that does incur death" ... nobody would be praying for those. But in the first century they (those in the right positions for that) did not expelled all...

John was not talking about that death. You think he was ... He was talking about "sin that does incur death" and not praying about those who practice them. All sins incur in death in the physical sense ... but John was NOT talking about that kind of death, or that kind of sins, but about a...

John is not talking about physical death ... A person can practice "sin that does incur death" and staying physically alive ... If the person dies because of something wrong that he did, John would not be differenciating among both kind of sins and warning about praying for those people. You can...

Try to get my point as I got yours, please. John is saying that we can pray for people who does not incur on certain kind of sins. That implies, obvious to me, that we can recognize for which ones we can pray and for which ones we can not pray ... depending on the sins the person incurred...

You are not getting what John said ... You are too focussed on your "common sense", so you don't listen what I am saying. John is talking about praying for others. It is impossible that he was talking about not praying for the ones incurring on sins "that does incur death" referring to people...

I certainly can see when someone is spiritually dead ... I can see it in their behavior: Matt 7:15 “Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to YOU in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits YOU will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from...

The words of John is not about people, but about the sins. He said there are two kinds of sins: the ones that "incur death" and the ones that do not. Of course, he is referring to people WHO get involved on each of those kinds of sins. We must know that there are two different kinds of sins...

I understand what you are saying, but you are trying to apply common sense in an incomplete way ... John is talking about praying for others to help them with their sins (other matter to talk about) ... It is "common sense" that he is not talking about dead people, but about alive people who are...

Or you are talking about what YOU think is "common sense" OR you are talking about what Bible says ... and this is what Bible says: 1 John 5:16 If anyone catches sight of his brother sinning a sin that does not incur death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, yes, to those not sinning so...

I don't think on those words the same way you do. In first century there was a clear difference on sinning, what was a deadly sin (spiritual death) and other kind of sins. There is a way of seing when one person is spiritually dead ... at least in the first century they knew. ;)

1 John 5:16 If anyone catches sight of his brother sinning a sin that does not incur death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, yes, to those not sinning so as to incur death. There is a sin that does incur death. It is concerning that sin that I do not tell him to make request. 17 All...

:) You want to put me in "trouble" any way ... that's funny, since you are not the one to judge anybody. If a christian in the first century practice sin willingly (sins "of death") they were expelled from the congregation. They were supossed to change to be real followers of Jesus. If we...

I don't think I don't sin now, those are your words ... not mine. I do a big effort NOT to do things that displease God and I surely do a lot that still displease Him, and sure it is I am repenting of those and fighting to not practice that kind of things ... I got my weaknesses like everybody...

We all are sinners from the very moment we are born, cause that is what we get from Adam and Eve, our human first parents. There is not way we can scape from that trend (?), cause it is in our own very cells ... The blood of Jesus can prevent that from harming us and that we are not judged in...

I disagree with this point, or with the way I understand it (cause I can misunderstand sometimes English language) ... Just to be sure: Are you saying that Jesus did not obey some commandments of the Law of Moses?

Hi Marcelo. There are not "mitzvot" for christians, but principles. Those principles are resumed in two, as Jesus said: love God and love your neighbor. That means everything that implies you don't love God or you don't love another person is something anyone must avoid. We don't need a list for...
