No. I don't sin while walking in the Spirit. When I walk in the flesh I do sin. Are we commanded to do all to the glory of God? If so, how do you brush your teeth to the glory of God?

Would this be an example of you loving me the way Christ loves the church?

No one has said it is ok to turn away from the Lord. They are saying they recognize that they do.

No. And anyone who believes they do is self deluded.

Read 1 Corinthians 10:31. It refers to eating and drinking. How much more concerning the minutiae and mundane can you get? The idea that an individual is always loving God to the uttermost and others as Christ loves the church is preposterous. Those who believe this are self deluded. Even in...

Incorrect. There are verses that say events will occur in hearers lifetimes. But I won't convince you. Grace and peace.

Show me in those passages where it says that those texts say that some present would experience those things.

Specific terminology is used as well that not only show imminency but act as time stamps. When language is employed that says some present would experience the event means the event will occur within their lifetimes.

Again, just another view. A simple reading of the texts clearly indicates that NT writers were expecting a return in the 1st century.

That's one view. But NT writings often speak of the imminent return of Christ. They weren't speaking about the transfiguration.

Right. Neither is there anything in scripture which precludes Christ from coming more often than that. But when Jesus says some will not taste death till He comes, that requires a first century coming. Further, when it says with power that means it is publicly manifest. Regardless of whether...

Can you not tell me how one would brush their teeth to the glory of God? If you are doing all things to glorify God, how does one brush one's teeth to the glory of God?

1 John 3:4 says sin is the transgression of the law. James 4:17 says that if one knows to do good but doesn't do it, to him it is sin. Romans 14:23 says anything not of faith is sin. You say you don't sin. Did you love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength every moment today? Did...

The reason I asked is because people speak of the first and second comings of Jesus, but if you do not see His coming in the verse as one of those comings, then there are more than 2 comings. So if there are more than 2, how many are there?

Sure, but there was an ending; an ending of a covenant. How do you understand Matthew 16:28?

Jesus told His audience when they saw Jerusalem surrounded. Wouldn't that have to have been during their lifetime? First century?

What is sin?

So...you never sin?

Do you ever walk according to the flesh? How often do you do so?

A Christian operates in the Spirit or in the flesh. Unless one claims that they are always walking in the Spirit, they are sinning. Do you continually walk in the Spirit?
