So you think that's the same as "assembling together"? Getting on the computer and listening to one person's interpretation? As has been said many times on this forum, you are deceived. An assembly requires face-to-face communication and interaction and comparing interpretations and worship and fellowship and prayer - not just teaching, and especially not false teaching.

How about me? I've been on Bible forums for over 14 years and I'm sure hundreds of people have read my "data". "Data" sounds more studied and official, doesn't it? Rather than just articles, posts, teaching, or just words.

But I don't presume to think that everyone who reads my posts agrees with or accepts my conclusions.
Nor do I presume to believe the deception that by participating in a forum, I am fulfilling the command to "assemble together" with others in the body of Christ.

On the other hand, I have been assembling together, face-to-face, person-to-person, in non-denominational churches and small groups and now in a homechurch, both on a weekly basis and often several times during the week, since I was born again in September of 1970 - that's over 55 years.
How about you?

The phrase is from the Bible verse 1 John 1:9, which states, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness". This promise is conditional on confessing sins and trusting that God's faithfulness and righteousness will forgive and cleanse believers from all unrighteousness.

We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. What did Paul say after his conversion:

15. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

Paul is now giving us an internal mental model of our inner self. There are two forces inside us at war with each other, the sin nature, or "flesh" and the redeemed nature. We have within us both our old sinful nature as well as our new nature, which is made in the image of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

The inner desire to do what the Law says shows us that it is not the true Paul who is sinning. Rather, it is his inner sin nature that is acting in disobedience to the Law. Paul says I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.

To confess sin effectively means to say about it exactly what God says about it. We know what we have done, and it only makes matters worse when we try to make things look better. Sin is sin and confession to the Lord must be heartfelt confession. “If I have sinned” accomplishes nothing. If we don’t come with a broken heart and honest confession, we have wasted our time.

Prayer, worship, offerings, and good works do not bring forgiveness, but sincere repentance and confession do. Whenever we sin, we must deal with the matter immediately and claim the Lord’s promise of forgiveness. Unconfessed sins that accumulate lead to the worst kind of conscience—the evil conscience.

Achilles, you made a mistake that most of the Protestant denominations make due to its origins in the Reformation, the belief that Romans 7:14-25 that are people UNDER the law of Moses, are, in fact, born again Christians, when verse 24 and Romans 8:2 shows that life in Christ FREES US FROM THE LAW AND FREES US FROM SIN. In other words, Romans 8 frees us from Romans 7:14-25. We are no longer under the law. Why? Because through the blood of Jesus we are no longer in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God indwells us. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he is not His. Read the context of Romans 7 in verses 5 and 6. The flesh is past tense. The flesh is not our body, but our sin nature, the old man of Romans 6. Jesus takes away the sin in our nature. This type of sin, of which there are two, are sins unto death, and why Romans 6 says, the wages of sin is death. Sins against the Law, the commandments of God, are sins unto death. 1 John 3:4-5-9.

But there is a lesser type of sin called sins not unto death, 1 John 5:16-17 that Jesus works on after we are born again and matures each fruit of the Spirit. Sins not unto death are what are automatically forgiven and cleansed after being born again as we walk in the light. 1 John 1:7.

We are not the one who changes us. It is Jesus who is the Author and Finisher of our faith, not us! All we must do is abide in Him and be aware of the changes being made in us by the power of the Spirit. Jesus sensitizes our conscience making our behavior line up with our conscience as Paul found in himself. He told us he had a clear conscience, so the myth that Paul always fought sin in his nature is not only false, but a slap to the face of Jesus.

Again, 1 John 1:8 is not a Christian. And neither are verses 6 and 10. How much unrighteousness does 1 John 1:9 cleanse us of? ALL!!! Verse 7 is a Christian. What the Church doesn't teach, and church goers seem to trust too much in their false teachers to know what they are teaching instead of the Bible, is there are two types of sin. 1 John 3 teaches of the worst type - the sins unto death. This is what Jesus came to cleanse us of as the Author of our faith, and what a born again Christian has no desire to commit even once - the breaking of a commandment of God, 1 John 3:9. What a born again Christian will commit are trespasses committed unintentionally of immature fruit. But if we continue to walk in the Spirit daily, Jesus cleanses us of those automatically as He, Himself, as the Finisher of our faith, matures our walk. Have you been taught, "sin is sin." So sad.

No one, whether lost or saved, is above reproach. Only God alone is perfect, we're not, which is why we need God's grace.
The self righteous are always right in their own eyes. They lack faith. The fruit you bear is very telling.

I call them the way I see them. And truth be told we as Christians do sin. The good news is when we do sin we have a Advocate, Jesus that died for us.

Jesus lives to intercede for those who believe in Him Hebrews 7:25

Then, we see in 1 John 2:1–2 that Jesus is our Advocate when we sin. Positioned between us and holy God, Christ declares our righteous standing because of His sacrifice.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
 
So charismaticlady, if God has shown you the one true interpretation of the Bible, then why not write a book and share that one true interpretation with the whole body of Christ? Why would you limit those truths to just yourself and a handful of Christians? The whole body of Christ should hear them too, shouldn't they? Otherwise they will remain in their ignorance, and maybe even lose their salvation. You could call the book, "The One True Interpretation of the Bible".

God's grace is unmerited favor extended to humanity, offering forgiveness that isn't earned, but freely given.
Ephesians 2:8-9

Now both Jew, & Gentile alike can approach God directly w/out a Gentile needing to proselytize (aka become a Jew).
Ephesians 2:12-16

The bold is for emphasis.

The spirit cannot be lied to. You are confusing the spirit of Christ that I mentioned in my comment with The Holy Spirit who is God. I wrote the following for people like you...

There seems to be much confusion concerning the Comforter...​

The spirit that all Christians have was first called the comforter by Jesus. It helps us if we are plugged into walking by the spirit.

John 14:16-17
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Almost every English version translates John 14:17 similarly to “even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him.” Translators capitalize “Spirit” and use “he” and “him” because of their theology. The Greek word “spirit” is neuter and the text could also be translated as “the spirit of truth” and paired with “which” and “it.” The New American Bible reads “which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it.”

No confusion. The Spirit of Christ IS the Spirit of God, which is the Holy Spirit, just as Christ IS God.
Paul uses the terms interchangeably in Romans 8:9.

Of course the Holy Spirit can be lied to. It happened in Acts 5:3.

No, you're not listening. The Holy Spirit is God. There's no separate Holy Spirit different from God who is Spirit.

This is meant for LAMB,

You and I agree regarding charismaticlady "not sinning".

But we don't agree regarding Paul's command: "A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell in transgression." 1 Timothy 2:11-14

Also 1 Cor.14:34-38. Here Paul gives similar commands and additional commands. He reminds the reader that his commandments are ACTUALLY "the Lord's commandment."

So why would you disobey the Lord's commandment by teaching both women and men?
