Why in the newest revision of the New World Translation did they remove words? What words were they?

I agree with this post as far as John has said in 1 John 1:7, but I still have a problem with some of the individual sins you keep quoting as a normal impulse of human nature, except possibly for a very young Christian, as they just cannot be committed while walking in the Spirit, because they...

Read the letters to the four last churches. The Philadelphian church will be kept from this trial. That doesn't mean rapture per se but protected. So I will be alive and remain. I'm anything but lukewarm! The first half of the GT the Jews are protected (chapter 12 "the woman") to be witnessed...

Thank you. I have noticed that when Jesus takes away our sin nature and writes God's laws on our hearts, we start abiding in Him and He in us which is part of being born again of the Spirit. That is from the first day we are justified by faith. This is how Jesus immediately makes us sinless and...

1 Peter 1:16 "Be holy for I am holy."

I didn't say anything about independence from God's will, but from MAN'S! God's Scripture only has ONE interpretation and that is what I seek to know.

"their" God? I am independent in my doctrines based only on the Bible, not on any man's theology. What are you? JW?

I agree. That is why I am not in a denomination.

Thanks. That explains a lot.

So you understand what his belief is? What is it? I've asked him and he just repeats the Scripture again for the umpteenth time.

I would only add that we must continuously abide in Christ, and He in us, which is AWESOME! Its not just a theory, but a continuous experience.

You are WESTERN. John is EASTERN. You need to study to be approved, otherwise you'll stay ignorant of the truth. Then when you come to all the Scriptures that will contradict 1 John 1:8 your character will choose. You choose sin.

Paul is talking about the apostles, not us! Only the apostles were the FIRST TO BELIEVE. Paul is introducing himself to the Ephesians as an apostle. Ephesians 1:12 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. Predestination doesn't have anything to do with...

I agree about those practicing sin. I do not commit willful sins once, let alone practice willful sin. K, the doctrine of sinlessness died when the worldly Roman Church built their first confessionals. The false doctrine that Christians will always sin is heresy, and for some reason has not...

No, I've never seen that, but there is a scripture that I think you'll like. What is cut off is SIN. But ALSO the AUTHOR of sin, Satan. They are cut off of our nature. This is why a born again of the Spirit Christian no longer has a sin nature. Our cleansed nature can partake of the divine...

Don't you care what John meant, or do you think John lost your little word game so God must honor you for sinning, because at least you know you're lying? No, EG! If an unregenerate Jew came up and said they were without sin because they kept the Ten Commandments, it is they who would be lying...

Post #581 shows you what John meant. If John claimed he was sinless and was watching porn, he would be deceived. What is so hard to understand? Don't you care what John is actually saying, or do you want a verse to justify why you sin?

Only one could I tell was not born again. She had been my best friend and she was brought into my life to introduce me to Spirit-filled Christians. Met her in 1976. But her lack of conscience has made me question if she is saved, or just religious.

No wonder you are having a problem with sin the way you think. Proverbs 23:5 As a man thinks in his heart, SO IS HE. Solomon didn't have the power of the blood of Jesus. I do. Do you? Study the Scriptures I showed in #591 and get them in your heart.

I agree that OSAS is false. And yes, we must endure to the end. But that doesn't mean that I have no assurance. 2 Peter 1:10-11 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be...
