I mentioned "pure heart" in contrast to a selfish, self-aggrandizing, idolatrous, heart. "Motives" carry a lot of weight. I do have a pure heart, thanks to the many tools given by God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I know I have been born again. That isn't the same as being "saved", as there is still a day of judgement coming. I will say "I am saved" after God has had His say regarding my life. I will say I have been "saved" from cigarettes, pot, hash, LSD, speed, alcoholism, porn, and many other...

That was cool. It seemed rather casual for a "stampede".

It is hardly anything that can be scripted. I have a conscience, and the Spirit of God, plus promises like 1 Cor 10:13..."There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the...

That's plenty, if done with a pure heart. May the name of Jesus Christ be glorified in all you do. However, about your "daily confession"...I hope you meant "manifesting Christ on earth" by that.

Yes, they do pertain to me. Sinless obedience to God isn't the end all of my relationship with God. Finishing my life faithfully is the "achievement" I desire. The rest of 2 Peter 1:10 completes your thought..."Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election...

From post #52..."What do you routinely do to glorify God and manifest both the life and death of our Savior?"

OK. OK. Those who commit sin are not free from sin. Thank God the truth has freed us from committing sin. (John 8:32-34)

The context of the word of God is love. You are saying it isn't true because it was written by a Christians Jew to other Jews. I just can't agree. you tell opinion. Some of the verses in 1 John 1 are addressing those who walk in darkness (sin). Verse 9 is the remediation for sin, the first...

Facts are facts we have to live with. It is called reality. I don't agree with those judges that made it legal either, but I can't deny it happened.

Welcome to the site.

If abortion isn't a constitutional right, why is the supreme court working on it?

Does that apply to the "right" to get an abortion?

Would you kindly describe those who are "conformed to the image of His Son"?

That is really funny. You forgot to answer my question...

I am not willing to ignore the written word. Because you say so? Nope. I could be telling the truth. You know, the truth Jesus said would free us from committing sin, in John 8:32-34. Do you think Jesus would leave us in the same precarious position versus sin, after all He did for us to...

It is written... “Be ye therefore perfect, even as you Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matt 5:48) “I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me." (John 17:22-23) “Knowing...

It is true regardless of who wrote or received it. If one can't illustrate their faith, there is no faith. I don't need luck, as I am of and in Christ Jesus.

Repent of not sinning?

No, as there are two meanings for "works". Amen. Too bad. As the good I do makes me feel closer to Jesus and to His Father. The study I do makes me grow in grace and knowledge. How can that hinder one's relationship with God? Not unconsciously either. Hardly, as they all picked and prepped...
