This reminds me of the saying that a person forced to change her mind is of the same opinion still.Hey see you sometime on another thread.
Toxic waste.
No. I said nothing about your belief, nor tried to define your belief.
You have been in this discussion, yes or no?
Are you the fence sitter?
What I clearly said BEFORE still stands. I speak for me. You speak for you.
Once an individual RECEIVES Salvation:
....ALL of their SIN Against God IS FORGIVEN, BY God.
Once an individual RECEIVES Salvation:
...The Commission Of SIN Against God CEASES.
So Yes..ALL “PAST” sin Against God IS Forgiven.
So No...”There is no Present or FUTURE” sin to Forgive.
You said you were quitting with me, and so I was glad to let you. But, like a moth to the flame, you can't help yourself. Even like an OSAS sinner to sin, you can't help yourself.I am sorry Robert that I will not see your twisted logic any longer.
You kept saying that when I say my sinful mature creates a sin intended or not and I admit it I cannot be Christian a true Christian because I sin.
But 240 posts into the thread when you finally admit you are a sinner you claim you never said you were sinless!
Then you go into a long explanation of how I have holier-than-thou wrong. Which sadly fits into my experience with holier-than-thous. Which is that they are bigger or greater sinners than I have am able to dream of being but hide it behind appearance, the holier-than-thou facade and very afraid that humility (what Jesus wants of us) will destroy the facade.
The holier-than-thous of Jesus day were the Pharisees followed closely by the Sadducees.
Verse parsing outwardly pious believers that proved to be as unjust as they tried to show justness.
So I have tried to walkway and having been called back into thread by what is in my humble state the most twisted of twisted threads of a scripture parsing Pharisee. I came close to ignoring you by well ignoring you. I did go ignore you I pushed the button but have unpushed it.
What more can I say.
I will see your posts
I could easily make it so I don't
I may decide to respond
Alfredthefifth
Trying to decipher you grammar, I believe you are teaching typical OSAS delusion: you are a sinner, and you blame your sinning on a sin nature, and so you are still saved and justified by Christ while sinning, because your sin nature and sinning are now under grace.You kept saying that when I say my sinful mature creates a sin intended or not and I admit it I cannot be Christian a true Christian because I sin.
I take people at their word. If someone wants to call themselves sinners, and declare they will be sinning again from time to time as they wish, then that is what they are, and what they are doing.You pretending you have some psychic knowledge of what a man does 24-7 is laughable on its face.
You will NEVER get a straight answer from this taken person. It will NOT happen.In law and debates, there is such a thing as tacit admission. If you do not deny a claim, it becomes accepted as uncontested fact.
Your replies are not responsive to the claim. The question is, is @robert derrick's statement above in green correct? (Choose A or B.)
A. If yes, please confirm.
B. If no, please explain how it is incorrect.
Thanks! :)
@Taken
In 256 posts here the posters are in two camps
There hasn't been one post in the middle.
So which camp are you in?
Taken you have already wavered by trying to get out of the camp that says that I Alfredthefifth cannot be truly saved because I admit I have to guard against sin and sometimes fail.
Being in the second camp guarantees actually both sins to be guilty of.
I knew it. I have challenged any OSAS believer to just write the words, Those saved ought to be living righteously.
Without adding any of the usual OSAS dribble about also sinning from time to time. And none them have, because of fear. All OSAS believers know, that if they were to just exhort that doing righteously, the knives OSAS would be coming out for them, by their former OSAS lovers.
And here you demanding that the OSAS doctrine for sinning be adhered to, or else.
You will NEVER get a straight answer from this taken person. It will NOT happen.
It's the normal course for anyone claiming to believe in OSAS.
Afterall, their doctrine teaches them to be double hearted in Romans 7 for life.
Their just practicing what they preach.
Is OSAS the only religion of man that teaches there is no need of confession of sinning, to be forgiven of sinning?
One of the verses thrown out by some perfect man like @robert derrick is Psalm 106 v3
After I read Psalm 106 and answered how the whole of Ps 106 reads no one has come back and tried to debate how the whole really makes verse 3 read as I read it.
Why no discussion? From the perfect ones? Ps 106 v3 was thrown out with assurance! Where did that assurance evaporate to?
It's a sect for unrighteous christian sinners, who believe they are unconditionally saved forever by faith alone, and their justification is completely separated from anything they do in life, including sinning with the devil against God.It's not a religion, its a doctrine of some Christian denominations.
I.e. once any person 'asks' for salvation, they are thus saved and justified forever. All sinning past, present, and future is now officially forgiven. Any 'strong' preaching of confession for sinning becomes mute and lip-service only.In the past, I've attended churches that believed that, but they only preached that asking for salvation is done once, (no requirement to continually ask for it.) They strongly preach that you must ask for forgiveness each time you sin.
It sounds as if those two teachings have been misunderstood as one doctrine by someone. I've taught and preached under a seminary professor who was a OSAS preacher, and never once have I ever heard him, or any other preacher under that doctrinal stance, say anything like that.
The greatest apostle of OSAS was the chiefest of sinners for life. Every Sunday they give out the Pauline Prize for worst sinner of the week.It's sad they cannot provide straight answers. (This is the nature of dualism) In reviewing Romans 7 that you referenced above, I came across v19. It implies, according to OSAS, that Saint Paul was not saved and born again since he admits living out evil on an ongoing basis.
I can determine that I am going to do good, but I don’t do it; instead, I end up living out the evil that I decided not to do ... I am thankful to God for the freedom that comes through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! So on the one hand, I devotedly serve God’s law with my mind; but on the other hand, with my flesh, I serve the principle of sin.
