IS ALL SIN FORGIVEN ?

[Blood Bought 1953]

 Nobody Repented from Sins  like Judas  did......sorrow and regret for sins accomplishes nothing of Eternal Value unless  it prompts  a Turning To God ( the Repentance That Saves ) with Faith in Jesus Christ.Judas Repented and turned to a noose.Peter Repented Of His cowardice and turned to God and was restored.It should be noted that if you Believe in Jesus.....If you have undergone the “ change of mind” that takes you from NOT believing in Jesus, to actually putting all of your Faith in Jesus— you have repented and you are Saved. One can Repent Without Believing, But it is impossible to Believe Without Repenting. The Apostle John understood this.....The Word “ Repent” occurs zero times in His Gospel , and John is the Book we almost always send New Believers to in order to understand Salvation...

If you truly wish to understand what “ Repentance” is all about.....get educated here—- “ getgodsgift.org” God Bless....

Yes, I believe we can do nothing without the Lord, and I believe we are to repent of our sin as Jesus commanded.

Jesus never said to Repent of your sins to be saved.....it ain’t in the KJV.Nowhere.I know a girl who made a promise to bestow One Million Dollars upon Anybody that could show otherwise. I am a retiree on a fixed income....I can’t be that generous .....lol.....I WILL  vow to give anybody out there $100 though if they can produce a verse that says we must repent of sins in order to be saved.....Good Luck!

But Jesus DID say: 

"Why do you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments." He said to him, "Which?" And Jesus said, "You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matt 19:17-19 RSV

@johnthebaptist The next verse in :20 the man says says All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?

Keep in mind he was speaking to pharisees that think they could keep the law, To paraphrase to try make a point, Jesus Told him to be perfect,Then Basically change his Direction and come follow him but the man obviously liked his life too much and went away,then we get the famous saying It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. The Disciples where amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? Jesus replied With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

My answer Is directed at you because you said something quite a while back that has stuck with me since, you said something along the lines that your Church doesn't Teach about been Born Again

 

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

 

You must be born again

Mathew 3:11 indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire

 

Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

² He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

³ And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

⁴ Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

 

 

All things in the Bible are in a context. That doesn't nullify the Lord's words. We aren't supposed to commit adultery or the other sins. Jesus said so in the New Testament. God said so in the Old Testament.

1 minute to read and respond no we aren't supposed to do those things .... but the point was If you try do those things You can still Lack something that is important

Yes if you Love Jesus you will keep his commandments, it is not keep his commandments to prove you Love him, Easy to read that verse out of context, Love is more complicated than following a list of Rules, Do you Love Jesus?

When we sin, trouble enters our lives. I imagine that's why the Lord told us not to sin.

Fair enough point wanted to talk about some other points but never mind, If sin is a problem

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.

but lets not forget the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith.  

John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
 

 

Thing being, as I said, we get ourselves into trouble when we sin, and that would be why the Lord told us not to sin. Now the Lord can get us out of the jams our sin gets us into, but he expects us to learn from our mistakes.

Topic been talked about was actually salvation and been Born again if all you can see is trying to obey the commandments to not sin your in a bigger Jam than you realize. I would recommend Thinking on this verse

John 16:⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

⁸ And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ Of sin, because they believe not on me;

¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

¹¹ Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

 

I just get uncomfortable when someone suggests it's okay to sin.

I missed that Who said that?

When I say we should repent, and someone suggests it's unimportant, I take that as an endorsement of sin.
