moski5:Accidental sins could be any, and I mean any sin dat u are being caught up with unprepared and dat overwhelms u @ ur weakest point, dis is as a result of carelessness and prayerlessness on d part of d individual, dats why Jesus warned,Watch and pray dat u fall not into temptation. dats what I mean. There are no specific sins, it could be any, e.g Lying, as common as it is, Peter denied Jesus @ d point he wasn't expecting or prepared for it despite Jesus had already warned him, But Jesus assured him he had already prayed for him. |

obixcel: @Obixcel, It might be accidental outwardly through your immediate response of committing the sin but the sins has been processed in your mind before it manifests outside. That's why we need to keep guarding our heart with all diligence. Stay Blessed |

amerimex: @amerimex, thanks for the kind words. All your sins (past, present and future sins) were forgiven at the cross of Jesus Christ more than 2000 years ago. For instance, if we use over 2000 years ago as our reference point (which it actually is), then all our sins (past, present and future sins) are all future sins to what Jesus did at the cross. If you can just embrace this truth, you will start pleasing God effortlessly through the power of the Holy Spirit in you. You're a success! |

DivineSpp:Dats Heresy!! False teachings of d highest order, no wonder these so called mega churches go too soft when it comes to condemning sin especially d sins of d flesh (immorality and fornication). Jesus died on d cross to bear d past sins of d world, not future sins. A sinner has to repent, confess and forsake his or her sins to be saved. Pls don't let those so called preachers deceive you, ...He that commits sin is of d Devil....." Once again..."Shall u continue in sin that Grace may be abound?....God forbid..." Let's not twist d scripture. 1 Like |

goingape:like seriously! It was as though I did not hear it right at first. The congregation was practically asked to take sin lightly in the subtlest way I have ever seen. Preacherman supported his exhortation with instances of God as being a very forgiving father who would always welcome an offender with open arms regardless of the sin committed. Lobatan He didn't need to spell it out! And to my utmost discomfort, he never mentioned a word about punishment for sin, restoration, retribution. Not even 'holiness' or related scriptures popped up. Everything about the message wasn't right! |

obixcel: @obixcel, I'm not going to argue with you on that. The more you study the scriptures and allow the Holy Spirit in you to reveal the truth to you , your knowledge will increase. If you study the scriptures carefully, the more you sin, grace of God to overcome them much more increases (Rom 5:20) This is not meant to encourage sinning but to show you God has put the power in you through the help of the Holy Spirit to live above sin. To be candid, no one is perfect. We're all depending on the grace of God to keep living a life of holiness. Trust the grace of God today and not your self effort to live holy You're blessed! |

naturefellow: @naturefellow, if you've been following my post, I said making a practice of sin will harden your heart towards God as a believer. If you keep giving room to the devil through sin, he will eventually cause you to deny the God you've been serving until he succeeded in sending you to hell I pray that's not your portion in Jesus name. That's why you need to embrace this grace life to prevent the devil from taking advantage of your ignorance. When you believe right, you will live right! Stay blessed! |

DivineSpp: This is complete heresy! Absolute error!! Please, if you don't have a deep understanding of God's word, you had better keep mute and stop causing confusion for yourself and innocent readers. Open your eyes wide and read this passage; "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God"; 1John3:9! That sin/sinner you are quoting wrongly isn't referring to those who have been saved. It refers to those who still haven't been to Jesus for the cleansing of sin. Grace is available to locate them and save/redeem them. Believers are saved by faith THROUGH grace. That's the same grace that the bible says abound amongst sinners. Get it right bro.... And don't be cheated! Let me also mention very quickly, with the view to balancing things up here, that even the yet committed sin, Jesus died for them. That is why a saint that derail/back-slide can still get back on track. That the efficacy/provision of the blood; to cleanse us from our mistakes/stains/errors/errs/etc. 1 Like |

If yes, please quote a single person that lived under sinless perfection, except christ, according to the scriptures. As for your question, in my case I don't know about you, I will go free despite my flaws and sins. Why? Because the punishment that I deserved for my past, present and future sins have been laid on christ. SO, I OWN NO DEBT! 1 Like |

The truth is that you are not justified because you don't commit sin or that you are trying to righteous by works or that you are claiming sinless perfection, rather you are justified because of the faith you have in the finished work of christ which took place in your place, even WITHOUT THE DEED OF THE LAW. 1 Like |

gradeA:Understanding the message of the cross, which has a summary; "NO CONDEMNATION". Then it is when you know that you are not condemned in christ, no matter what, that's when you see the love of God clean and clear. And when you clearly see that love, the power of sin in your flesh is weakened. 1 Like |

VictorRomanov:Oh, you are one of those hypocritical, self-righteous, holier-than-thou christians who preach that heretic gospel of sinless perfection? Please, is sinless perfection by works of righteousness a means of justification to sinners?

In fact, if you can let go of your pharisee hypocrisy, can you gently and humbly answer this question; ARE YOU SINLESS PERFECT? |

promise101: See how u just came online and started talking rubbish, cos u have access to a phone with internet connection abi? Judge Dred! I asked a simple question and you came throwing tantrums like a 2yr old who was denied ice-cream! You see a lady walking along the street, u call her, toast her, take her home and have sex with her. The following day, u repent. After 2 days you see another lady and u repeat the same process which led u to commit fornication, and u call me hypocrite for asking you if it is right? Are your senses complete? I bet you will quickly divorce a wife who is repeatedly adulterous after asking for your forgiveness each time she commits adultery! And the bible says if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will God forgive you. You are both ignorant and unreasonable. You have the bible and u don't read. Cos you re afraid it will condemn ur actions. To enlighten yourself, read Romans 6:1 tell me what u understand. If my question is tormenting your conscience deal with it or better still try the hang man's loop. Nonsense. Na me send u go sin? And may God forgive me for coming at you like this! |

Alani86: @Alani86, thank you so much for your comment. Let me make few explanations about the scripture you quoted in your comment. Everyone who has been born of God does not commit sin, because His seed remains in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. - 1 John 3:9 (MKJV) Everyone who has been born of God does not commit sin - To be born of God means you've accepted and believed Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. That means you've been born again. When you became born again, your spirit (human spirit) only became transformed. your soul and body didn't get born again. By the way, at new birth, the Holy Spirit makes your spirit [/b]His permanent residence, [b]your soul is the seat of your personality, will, emotions and your body is the physical container for your spirit and soul by which you relate with other human beings. Everyone who has been born of God does not commit sin means in your spirit, it is not possible for you to sin because the Holy Spirit leaves there permanently (because His seed [the Holy Spirit] remains in him). That's why in your spirit you cannot sin because you have been born of God. Now as a believer, how can you identify with this truth? You start by educating your soul, which is your mind to believe this good news (that's what I've been trying to do through all my posts ) Your mind will now relate the same information from your spirit to your body until you are now fully conscious of it. Your responsibility is to put to death the desires of your body (just like a physical training exercise) to tally with the information your spirit through the Holy Spirit in you has related to your soul (mind) As you keep doing this, people around you will testify that you are living a holy life. For your information, the good news about the wonderful grace of God is not only for believers in Christ, it is extended to everyone in the world. And He is the propitiation concerning our sins, and not concerning ours only, but also concerning the sins of all the world. - 1 John 2:2 (MKJV) You're highly favoured in this week and beyond in Jesus name! |

DivineSpp:Let's get straight to d point, Do u believe in Eternal Security of d Believer? And what happened to Christ's words in John 15:1-5, "Abide in me and I in you.......IF anyone does not abide in me, he is plucked out like a branch and is withered...." Pls read dat passage very well. Salvation is by faith, but ur maintaining ur "saved status" is conditional, one has to abide in Christ, overcome temptation. There's no superman saint who feels he/she would indulge in sin and still remain a saved person, never!, whether u are born water and d spirit, if one commits sin habitually, intentionally, he/she is of d Devil. Salvation is not meant to be complicated like d way u are putting it, I know a preacher told u all these, but if read d new testament very well for yourself, especially Romans, and I, II and III John, u'll discover dat it's as simple as ABC. which one is spirit, soul and whatever. Whether it's ur spirit dat is born again or ur soul, d bottom line is if any man be in Christ he is a new creature...." And Jesus gave a condition in John gospel, He said, "IF ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples in deed". |
Re: How A Christian Can Be Free From Condemnation After Committing Sexual Sins by promise101: 10:28pm On Apr 17, 2016 |
amerimex:My friend, that might sound strange to you, because so many preachers these days are not just helping out at all, rather they are good at CONDEMNING people to hell, while they themselves know that they CAN NEVER be sinless perfect. Yet, they clamour for sinless perfection, right from our church pulpits. It is very heretic and harmful! Now to understand this, you have to know that christ's death pays for the PENALTY of the sins, from the days of adam and eve till the day rapture will take place. Which means, through his sacrifice the WHOLE/ENTIRE sins of the whole world, from the days of adam to the day of rapture, where forgiven. In other words, ALL our sins where forgiven. Now, "ALL" as referred to the above doesn't not mean "your past sins till the day you ask for forgiveness". Absolutely not! Another word for all is ENTIRE. For God to say he has forgiven our ENTIRE sins, he was not talking about; past only or past + present only. If so then it means that all our sins where not forgiven. There is NO "ALL/ENTIRE" WITHOUT A COMPLETE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. This shows that christ didn't die only for our past sins, because when he died, we haven't even committed them. In other words, at the time of his death, our todays sin where viewed as futuristic sin, but yet his death covers it for us. So no matter how strange it sounds to you, you have to believe that our past, present and future sins are being forgiven. Not believing it, makes you live a life of sin-consciousness and makes you live in doubt of your salvation, because at worst, your heart tells you, " what if you have sinned unconsciously/unknowingly?" |
