ECT We know that God does not hear sinners ...

[genuineoriginal]

You have answered none of my questions. You refuse to. All your questions are about me. Who I am is none of your business. Keep this up and I will get you banned for harassment.

You are the one doing the harassment.

 

[ClimateSanity]

You are the one doing the harassment.

For asking her to explain how she knows she stopped sinning? If not, shows me the harassment.

I believe you have just proven that you are unable to know when you are sinning and when you have stopped sinning.

God's Truth, on the other hand, is able to know when she is sinning, which makes her able to know when she has stopped sinning.

 

[God's Truth]

Paul said the same thing.

Ephesians 4:28 28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.​

Amen. Good pointing that out.

Thank you, Genuineorignial, so good to hear from you.

 

[God's Truth]

We are told to guard the heart for out of it flow the issues of life.

God says the heart is wicked above all else, but God did NOT say EVERYONE's heart was wicked.

 

[God's Truth]

When a person has a wicked heart, it is wicked above all else.

Thinking you know is not the same as actually knowing. By what criteria do either of you know you have stopped sinning? Just saying so doesn't cut the mustard. Why should anyone believe you? Anyone can say tbey have stopped sinning. It doesn't mean they have. You and her seem to have narrowed sin down to a few bad obvious ones. You have yourself convinced you are on top of those. The problem is you don't have any idea just now wide the scope of sin is. If you don't even recognize sin in every possible instance, how in the world can you say you are not sinning in every possible instance?

 

[genuineoriginal]

Thinking you know is not the same as actually knowing.

Sure it is.

By what criteria do either of you know you have stopped sinning?

Romans 2:13-15 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; )​

Just saying so doesn't cut the mustard.

Sure it does.

Why should anyone believe you?

Believe the scriptures.

Anyone can say tbey have stopped sinning. It doesn't mean they have.

James 1:22-24 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.​

You and her seem to have narrowed sin down to a few bad obvious ones. You have yourself convinced you are on top of those. The problem is you don't have any idea just now wide the scope of sin is.

I see you have been feasting on the leaven of the Pharisees.

If you don't even recognize sin in every possible instance, how in the world can you say you are not sinning in every possible instance?

:rotfl:
I wish you had some sense so you could afford to buy a clue.

If you want to know what sin is, study the Torah.

If you want to stop sinning, learn what this means and then do it:

Matthew 22:37-40 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.​

You can probably recognize sin in your neighbor very easily. Recognizing it in yourself is not so easy given the state of the human heart you deny. It is human nature to excuse everything we do and to condemn the exact same thing in our neighbor. Why do you think there will be a final judgement???

Its existence is exactly for hardhearted arrogant fools like you and godstruth who arrogantly think they have stopped sinning. God will show both of you in the end just how much you both failed to stop sinning before he throws you both in the Lake of Fire

Please provide an example.

hardhearted arrogant fools like you and godstruth

Thank you for showing us what you mean.
In psychology, they refer to that as projection.

Who says what you do when one says to repent and to stop sinning? Can you image you in the presence of John the baptizer while he was baptizing repentant sinners...

Luke 3:12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?” 13 “Don’t collect any more than you are required to,” he told them. 14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely—be content with your pay.”


What is your answer to that?

 

[God's Truth]

Do you know why John the baptizer was arrested? Don't you know that it is because Herod came to get baptized, but he was not really sorry for his sins and was not going to repent of his sins?

 

[elohiym]

For asking her to explain how she knows she stopped sinning? If not, shows me the harassment.

Do you still sin? How do you know?

 

[God's Truth]

Can you imagine being there at that time? Just imagine you saying to John what you say here, "What sin?"

 

[glorydaz]

If He doesn't, then, how does anyone become a child of God?

A minor problem for Elo. This should be very interesting. opcorn:

 

[glorydaz]

Good question. Any ideas?

I have one. Read the verse in context.

hint - it's speaking of miracles....miraculous healings.

Salvation is a miraculous healing.

Ah, a S - T -R - E - T - C - H limo.

Put the verse back in it's context and then try again.
