"Have mercy upon me a sinner . . ." says Psalm 51, while the Psalmist in Psalm 119 declares, "I have laid up thy word in my heart that I might not sin against thee." Jeremiah tells of God’s promise: "I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." The passage from John speaks of the "judgment of this world" and says that the "ruler of this world" is about to be cast out.
Sin is the very opposite of obedience. Repentance without a turn to obedience to God is a questionable repentance.
Hello Robertt, I must have missed this post of yours (but I am thankful that @ChildofGod1976 did not
).While it's true that our sins do not cause us to lose our salvation (and that you needn't "worry" that you will), it's just as true that God does not intend for us to use this knowledge as a license to sin.
That said, I agree with what is said by Dr. Pink in the quote that you see below, that sin, for the true believer, is a terrible thing, and difficult/painful for us as soon as the Holy Spirit makes us aware of what we've done. I also agree that our attitude towards sin is one of the great indicators of who we really are (in regards to being a Christian .. or not).
Perhaps you see things differently, however. What, for instance, do you think about the ideas expressed in Dr. Pink's quote
Thanks
God bless you!!

Chuckle!! All you'll find here is confusion, and what I've found over the last 30 years in places like this the revelation of just how broad the religious confusion actually is.
It hasn't made me better or worse. I don't have a lot invested in this forum, I'm neutral. My spiritual life doesn't depend on likes or dislikes I might get here. It's just a place to hang out.
Hello Seeking-Christ! I have been a member of various forums and this one for six months. Meeting new believers from various parts of the world-amazing. Fellowship together- precious in this day and age. Iron sharpening iron in the discussion of doctrines- challenging but good. But more and more I have realized that what's more important than what happens to I or you is what we can do to bless someone else. On a forum you might bring a cheery word to a dear heart and that might be the only cheery word that person receives that day! You might encourage someone or give them advice that makes all the difference in their life. You might just provide a listening ear at the right moment. Quite often we do offend one another- all we can do is forgive as the Lord has already forgiven us. God Bless You
I am so thankful for Christian Forums that we can talk about The Bible, prophecy, and the rapture of believers. It is a place to go for fellowship to encourage and build each other in our faith.
This Forum keeps me in the Word! Even though I have memorized most of the New Testament I enjoy the challenge brought to me in these forums.
The bible says that when we come together Everyone has something to share or to give (1 Corinthians 14:26). It's a great place to learn from one another and to Fellowship. It's not an easy time to be a believer, betters to be believers together. God Bless You
