Any sin. Yes. The Jews had the atonements of the Law for their sins. After Peter received the gift of the Holy Ghost, his Jewish faith became a Christian's faith. He himself described how a man should turn from sin, repentance, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of...

Verse 8 of 1 John says "have no sin" Verse 10 says "have not sinned".

It seems the Russians are again in the misinformation business.

Where is the faith in someone who murders, lies, steals, and commits adultery? As Jesus said..."And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matt 7:23) Our deeds are the means of our future disposition.

The kingdom gospel...Jesus preached over and over again that "the kingdom of God is come near you". It is still "come near to you". Mark 1 :15..."And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." Don't you believe the kingdom good news? I...

Really, in spite of the flames above the heads of the disciples on the day of Pentecost and their ability to speak foreign languages? How many times did a piece of Paul]s clothing heal the recipient of said clothing? (Acts 19:12) That wasn't a sign? Where did Jesus say no signs would be given to...

It isn't "off" per-se, but the context makes it seem "off'. If you look at 1 John 1:5-10 as an address to those in darkness alternating with an address to those in the light it makes perfect sense. A,B-A,B-A,B. 5,6-7,8,-9,10. Light,-dark, light,-dark, light-darkness. Both verses address those...

I disagree. It is written..."This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." (1 John 1:5) No darkness at all. The chapter then goes on to delineate those who are IN DARKNESS from those walking in the light. It is...

The sin makes them unworthy.

I was a lost sinner when I first read it, so yes, John was preaching to me. The letter is to the converted. It is about, in part, the unconverted. It is also about, in part, the converted. John gives us the means to determine who is actually converted. If one is walking in darkness, sin, they...

Their...condition...is in doubt.

Then we are not in God. So don't let it reign ! We are dead to sin and to the Law. What can possibly cause us to commit sin? Nothing !!!!

Yet, Jesus gave the OT Jews the sign of Jonas, so your POV is not quite correct.

Though Paul's writings are for everyone, not just Christians, that is correct. Men can not do "right" if they walk in the flesh. But if they walk in the Spirit instead, all their deeds will have been done for the glory of God.

As there is no sin in God, who is the light, our confession, and cleansing, must happen prior to our walk in Him. True, as (nearly) all have committed sin. Lots of doctrines out there make sin less than sin. They change the name of sin to something else, or dismiss it as unimportant, all in a...

The sinful act shows they condemned themselves unworthy of eternal life.

What sins? Salvation will be given on the last day. Those who have converted don't commit sins. "For he that is dead is freed from sin." (Rom 6:7) "We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not." (1...

There are still plenty of signs, if folks will just open their eyes.

I agree, but don't you feel that it is important to see the results of any interpretation? Your reluctance to answer if Rom 6:7 was the result of your POV is illuminating. The message is indeed TO Christians, (though their salvation is still up to God at the final judgement), but it is about...

Yes, it was a type. And only two, of the entire nation, went into the promised land...also a type. Thankfully, we have now been given the gift of repentance, so we can remain without sin.
