According to the verses you site, tsth, no one who is saved sins. Or is capable of sin.

Since I sin I must not be saved, according to the verses you posted.

Unless you are taking the verses out of context to prove your point. . . :24:

tsth, you remind me a lot of my younger sister.

She did not say that or imply that at all. Reread it and slow down.

She said before we were saved that we were bound to do sin..but now we are saved we are bound to do righteouness. When you were a sinner did you ever do what was right? You mainly lived to serve self and and sin but every once in awhile you did something right. This is the same with being a slave of righteousness. Sometimes we sin but we strive with all our hearts for righteouness because we want to please God. Now if this is not in your heart then and you choice to live a sin filled life with out any regard to God then yes you are a servant of sin and not of righteousness. See the difference? One is servant of God and one is a servant of Self.

I can remember before I got saved I was big into partying and sexual misconduct, I lived to please self....but now that I am saved I put away those things and strive for rightouseness. Do I still sin??? Yes but my heart is pointed in the right direction. When I sin I feel terriable and confess it to God and then I continue to strive for rightouseness. This is called being a slave to righteosness. We have to love righteousness more then sin.

I agree with J4Y. It's time to stop taking pot shots. If you don't agree with a post, don't be sarky about it.

Not in any way snarky.

Asking questions.

There are people who believe that if one sins after salvation they are no longer saved. There are also people who believe that they their sin no longer matters as long as they confess it. I think Scripture needs to be used clearly when dealing with these matters.

According to the verses you quote, tsth, these ideas proven correct.

HOWEVER, they are out of context. Simply because there are verses in the Bible that tell us that salvation is not a one way ticket to sinless land.

Context is everything when interpreting God's word. It's a whole book, complete, not just a bunch of random thoughts and phrases.

I may be a slave to righteousness but I also have work to do. I can't just sit there on my moral high horse and tell everyone else how to run their relationship with the Lord, not everyone is where I am and I am not anywhere near where I ought to be. And I certainly can not see their heart, any more than they can see mine.

I would appreciate it if tsth would answer my post, instead of someone else. I am sure she can speak for herself on this matter.

Hi biblicist, This is a public forum and if you desire to ask questioms of any body specifically, I would suggest to PM that person and not make a public issue of it on open forum where everyone else can read it. Sometimes some of the questions asked don't dignify an answer.

cheers,

eric.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
