Well,this is not meant to be an argumentative quibbling on words rather a disposition to learning from one another. But,
As usual my rules are:

"All answers must be supported by Scriptural evidence(Cos thy word is Truth)

"Contributions should be done in the Spirit of humbleness"

While

"Questions should be ask in Spirit of gentleness"

Won't comment as such but I will be contributing to the thread somehow...

So guys share your views keeping in mind the rules. God bless.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God[color=#000099][/color]. HEB 11:5

Dear, In the garden when God made man... He made him without knowledge of good and evil....man had no knowledge of what is good or what is bad until Satan came to tempt Eve. At creation man was perfect in nature.

So he,Satan used a serpent to deceive Eve who ate the fruit of Knowledge of good and evil gave the same to Adam who took and ate it.They ate because they don't have knowledge that they are disobeying God.

So human chose for himself to have the knowledge of good and evil... and sin is all about evil so sin at work in man made them do evil and not God.But Lo and behold God declare Christ should be slain for the sins of man right in the garden of Eden.

So sweetheart mi, God didn't give us the knowledge of good neither did he give us the knowledge of evil... we gave ourself that ...we chose it ourself... only after we have eaten do we learn we have been scammed by Satan.... that we have entered one chance..

starlingslimnet:
Am learning bro Kindly bear with my questions.... If am getting you clearly bro are you in a way saying A Christain is a sinner if he persist in Sin?

starlingslimnet:
Thanks for coming bro... You know brother.... looking at your words there might be some element of Truth in it.....only if you can establish that with scriptural evidence cos without many will be having difficulty believing your words...

Cutehector:
damn right

“If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just and will forgive
us our sins and purify us from all
unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

I hv come across so many people with the thought of "mehn, lemme do it just this once, after which I will go for confession/confess my sins",don't think it ends there,humans are tempted to sin, without giving in a second thought we fall in knowing full well that our forgiveness is guaranteed

starlingslimnet:
Hey bro.... thanks for coming... How are you doing? Hmm... bro.....I must say there is a lot of hidden treasures in that. verse you quoted.... care to dig it out for us?

starlingslimnet:
Don't you think then brother.... by this Scripture you quoted Christains should continue in sin since there is enough grace for forgiveness?

Enoch was one of the enduring ones who conquered satan's program by the reason of faith (I'm not talking about the faith of daily bread or claiming naira and kobo) but an "energy" of living that is of God....To do without sin is simply to learn Righteousness.....Satan took many years before he could teach men how to sin(check the beginning of our world), We learnt and still learning sin (because satan has an agenda to fully inscribe us with the name of Sin, which is the name of Blasphemy)....Now, it is possible not to sin, when i talk of sin, i'm not even saying stealing, fornication or adultery.....according to the spirit of Truth, those are low type. They are just results...Sin also is a lifestyle that is anti-God. Enoch dealt with Satan and handled him by the reason of the faith 'of' God(not just 'in' God).He achieved a feat more than the others, why? Abel was said to be righteous (meaning he is not sinning). Only God knows what Abel would have become if he was not killed....those are beacons of righteousness; that the Scriptures attested to it that Jesus' blood is better than the blood of Abel, meaning Abel's blood was good but Jesus own was 'better'.....Abel's blood wasn't about 'revenge' as being taught in Sundays school but a TESTAMENT that opened a pathway for the walk of Righteousness in the pre-flood era which Enoch tapped into (just like Jesus blood opened a path for us now and it is forever). Now, most of the Patriarchs were not sinning or sinners, that's why they could live that long.....talk of Jared, Mahalalel, Methuselah.....these ones are kings of Righteousness....that's not an ordinary title.....Enoch transcend them all by pushing further.


Now, the Scriptures mentioned a man called Melchizedek. Another man in the beginning of days that is part of the "enduring ones" who skipped death by the reason of walk....imagine his title-King of Righteousness and King of Peace....those are not ordinary.....combination of two powerful things....Melchizedek entered into the realm of "Kings" in the spirit. You can't attain that by sinning...those two titles talks of the Kingdom. I'm saying this to point at something....If these men attained this state without the blood of the 2nd Adam how much more WE.

So, it is possible not to sin, you will learn it with time if willing...if not God won't command Abraham, "Walk before me and be thou perfect".

Do 'you' want to stop sinning? Sojourn with a Spirit called God, that's what Enoch et al did.

What is sin? Sin in a way is not loving the Father (Whoever reads this must look deep).

keandre:


I dnt think they should,hence the answer to your question is no, as long as 1 John 1:9 is still practiced

starlingslimnet:
And am learning Truth again ....more and more I knew there is something deep behind that Scripture you quoted......

Looking deep I see something.... that by sinning we joined Satan in his rebellion against God....

And also there is a different between Faith in God and Faith of God...Faith in God I see is Believing God but Faith of God is The Victorious Faith...The Faith of the Son of God.

Could it mean then brother that this,is what apostle Paul is talking about when he speaks in this way in Eph 4:13 "Until we all attain to the unity of the Faith and knowledge of the Son of God"?

Brother hence is this what Christ means when he told the disciples "If you have Faith like a seed of mustard yee will say to this mountain moves and it will obey" Is he telling in a way that our Faith must grow to the Faith of God?

Guys if you have any question on what my brother just said kindly asked......he will be more than please to shed more light

starlingslimnet:
Have you read my brother's post? I mean twosquare?

starlingslimnet:
But brother.... you know..... we have people say God is a merciful God.....like many say "God will understand" .......Let me sin this once..... I will ask for forgiveness later afterall we are saved by by Grace through Faith in Christ Jesus and not by work less any man should boast...how do you explain this verse in respect to your answer?
