1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
If a Christian cannot sin, then:
1. Why would John put this caveat in 1Jn.2:1 "if any man sin"? Obviously he knew that we as Christians would sin, or he would not have said that.
2. Why would he call Christ our "advocate," if we have no sin for him to represent us, us being the guilty Christians that have sinned.
In other Scriptures he is called our Intercessor, our mediator, our High Priest. Why? If we have no sin, why would Christ take these titles upon himself?

If you read a little farther it says:
1Jo 5:17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death
1Jo 5:18¶We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Now that you read yourself into being able to sin and you took that scripture as if you could commit any sin known unto man. What do you do with the rest of 1John ????
Hbr 10:26¶For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
I know we been down this road over and over, but I would like some answers from you concerning the rest of 1 John, and please don't add any words to the scripture, just give me a scripture answer? I can give you an answer for 1 John 2:1 (for there is a sin, not unto death) by righteous Jesus Christ, now would you give me an answer for the rest of 1 John and Hbr 10:26?? -
Matthew 13:44-46
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Christ says that if we understood the value of His kingdom, we would be willing to give all that we had to obtain it. -

I did answer your question. I told you Jesus said "there is a sin, not unto death". -
Anyway, you are now talking about what the Lord did, not us. -

(If you keep His commandments, then you have no greivous sins, for sin is the transgression of the commandments., Now there is also a sin that is not unto death, of which the children of God do commit in the outward man, and for that they recieve chastisement)
2.
5: But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
(now this is how you know you are one of his and I guarntee you if you are committing adultery, you do not fit this scripture.)
Now that I have answered yours, it only fair that you answer mine.
1Jo 5:17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death
1Jo 5:18¶We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Now that you read yourself into being able to sin and you took that scripture as if you could commit any sin known unto man. What do you do with the rest of 1John ????

Seems like a loaded question to me.
"Oh no, God, I'm not gonna be obedient because I wouldn't want to be "self-righteous".
Is it Christ's righteousness that keeps me from being chastened in this life? I thought we all had Christ's righteousness. Is it Christ's righteousness that makes one servant get 10 cities, one five, one few stripes, and one few stripes?
Come on man. Are you gonna fear God and be obedient or not? That is the question.

Hey DHK; you better keep up with your works or Lacy will be your "boss" in the literal kingdom, he is going to get 10 cities.
According to Lacy, some are going to get a few stripes and some several. I figure the way you going, you going to get the hide whipped off of you.

"Point of order, Bro. Moderator!"
Uh, Lacy never said anything about that "he is going to get 10 cities".
Besides that, according to your theology you are posting here, there would be no cities in that day to begin with, hunh?? :)
