Yes, all present tense. Time to crack open your Grammar 101 book.
If it is ongoing does it stop after I say ongoing or does it go on? As in continuous?

Re: Weak Grace?

Of course there is present tense! First of all it is clearly present tense in Greek. Check it out any way you care to. Second of all, "we walk" and "we have" and "cleanses" are all present tense verbs even in English. But yes, it does say all sin, and all sin means just that. The point he is making...

Re: Weak Grace?

What is verse 7 saying? Is it not saying Jesus' blood is sufficient to cleanse us from sin. There is not further qualification whether this is past, present or future sin. You are saying it is limited to past and present but not future. I say I see no such qualifier. The qualifier is called verb te...

Re: Weak Grace?

Dake's notes on 1 John 1 and 2 cover this quite will, in my opinion. "The purpose and demand of the gospel is "that you may not sin" (1 Jn 2.1). We do not sin if we walk in the light (1 Jn 1.7,9) . . . "the blood of Jesus keeps us cleansed from all sin" . . . but if one does fall into sin he still ...

Re: Weak Grace?

"If that is true, then why do we believe the GRACE that saved us without our help cannot sustain us without our help? " Because the Bible teaches that God's grace is not just some force which works upon us and within us apart from our involvement. As one of many examples, consider Philippians 2:12-...

Re: Weak Grace?

"Your position will only be accepted by people that consider all of scripture equally and not pick out the verse or verses that supports their position" You mean like Grandfather just did by picking out 1 Cor. 3?? Well we all know that everyone will stand in Judgment. The unrighteous before the Gre...

Re: Weak Grace?

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8,9 I believe we can all agree we are saved by GRACE and that we did nothing in and of ourselves to deserve, earn or merit salvation, other than to respond to t...

Re: ...by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

Jesus said the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven is made up of little children. So Ed, are you saying when babies and little children die and they go to Heaven, that Heaven is full of "self centered, selfish and prone to rage to get what they want, children? Children who want what they want ...

Re: ...by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

If we can walk in perfection without our perfect bodies why bother giving us perfect bodies? Our bodies contain imperfection, lust of the eye, lust of the flesh and pride of life. These three factors played into Eve's decision to allow sin to enter into her. But one day we will be given bodies that...

Re: 40 Mexican bishops taking 'intensive' exorcism course

This seems odd to those that are numb to spiritual realities as is our society but in other societies more in tune with the spiritual side of life demon possession is real and something they deal with instead of giving it a politically acceptable label and institutionalizing it to be pharmaceuticall...
