Re: The Sorcerer's Sin
Are you saying that from the time a person begins speaking in tongues, that person can never love God with more of their mind? That there is never any more potential for mentally loving God more? And, that that level of mental love never varies? If one loves God with all their mind, how can they lo...

Re: The Sorcerer's Sin
Did Gal. 2 Peter intend to disobey God by condescending to the visiting Jews ? I don't think so. Why do you ? Paul says that he "withstood" Peter "to his face, because" Peter "was to be blamed" (Gal. 2:11). Then, Paul goes on to say why Peter "was to be blamed,&qu...

Re: The Sorcerer's Sin
All sin is intentional. I still don't agree that all sin is intentional. There are New Testament examples of sins committed through ignorance. See Paul's sins committed in ignorance and unbelief which he listed in 1st Timothy 1:13-16, for example. He didn't know he was sinning when he did those dee...

Re: The Sorcerer's Sin
The fact that you don't see errors and missed opportunities as sin confirms that you and I have different definitions of what sin is. Is it a sin if a kid runs out between cars, and you kill them ? NO, unless you were driving drunk/drugged, and faster that the posted limit. That depends upon the ci...

Re: The Sorcerer's Sin
The New Testamen and real life experience with enough people who have received the gift of tongues to know that those that speak in tongues are still capable of sin and do, in fact, actually sin. Doesn't a sin, show that their repentance from sin was false ? If that was false, so is their "gif...

Re: The Sorcerer's Sin
Aren't you claiming that a person has to [completely quit sinning] before they can receive the Holy Ghost? The intention to do so, occurs before one receives the gift that enables the repentant to do so. Is merely intending to quit sinning enough? I have heard it said, that the road to hell is pave...

Re: The Sorcerer's Sin
It doesn't mean that the seed is certain to always remain in the person (see the Parable of the Sower... Things can happen to the seed). If the seed of God has not taken root, the bearer of that seed was not reborn. Seed can only bring forth after itself. Would it be correct to say that the seed ca...

Re: The Sorcerer's Sin
... virtually no one consistently [Loves God with all the heart, mind, soul, strength, and might to 100% of ideal human capacity and neighbor as self] at all times to 100% of their capacity. Everyone who has been reborn of God's seed, does what God wants them to do 100% of the time. To me, that ver...

Re: The Sorcerer's Sin
My point isn't about making choices. It's about utilizing total mental capacity at all times to love God as commanded. No one utilizes 100% of their mind, all of the time. Therefore, no one loves God with all their mind, all of the time. The requirement is to love God with all of one's mind, all th...

Re: The Sorcerer's Sin
How do you justify the belief that those that receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (as evidenced by the gift of tongues) never sin again? Please, consider St. Peter's error as recorded in Galatians 2:11-21. Peter's "error" wasn't sin...it was a missed opportunity to make visiting Jews see t...
