1 John 1:9 KJV
I see deception in the translation of 1 John 1:9 verse similarly to that of Hebrews 10:25 KJV.
The meaning that people come up with is often viewed as godly and seems right. But
assigning a godly meaning to a bible verse doesn't make that explanation true.
Example:
(Hebrews 10:25 our need to "go to church" and 1 John 1:9 some flavor of asking God for forgiveness and some would say our not needing to ask God for foregiveness)
So these explanations become part of a doctrine which props up man's needs for the church building and that building's organization.
Example:
(Hebrews 10:25 used to guilt people into coming to that specific church building every Sunday
AND
1 John 1:9 telling people either they never need to confess sin OR that they have to specifically track each sin and confess each one).
A double minded man is unstable in ALL his ways. Why is truth so important? Believing a lie causes a supernatural spiritual blindness requiring repentance to be delivered from that false belief. Believers of lies are more easily tricked by Satan.
The twisting of 1 John 1:9 causes people to be confused about sin and how they should respond to other Christians that are in sin. The root problem is that at the end of the discussion Satan will have many confused Christians saying that it is ok for a Christian to be gay for example thereby lifting up this one sin as ok.
Why aren't we asking "Can a person be a Christian and an adulterer?" The simple answer is yes. But we don't greet the known adulterer at the door of the church with a "hey brother, I know you are cheating on your wife, but it is ok. Jesus can forgive that too." If the adulterer acknowledges they need forgiveness for this sin in his life then there is hope for that man. But if he says, "I'm here! I'm an adulterer! God is cool with it and I don't want to stop so just get use to it!" Then we have a problem with this brother.
But somehow people think there are sins that God is ok with because Jesus died on the cross for sins. But not so that we can dive into the deep end of sin, rather that we could receive repentance and God would change us.
Proverbs 17:15
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
God says lifting up sin is an abomination. Anyway, this confusion causes people in these
churches to listen to irrelevant arguments and questions thereby distracting and confusing more.
Let us look at another question many Christians today have:
For example:
How do we deal with homosexuals?
This vague question leaves out details of distinct types of homosexuals:
1. Unsaved homo: They need to believe in Jesus before they can have victory over that or even want victory over that. So they must not be ridiculed for that one sin alone and any one sin sends a person to hell without the blood of Jesus.
2. Saved homo person: They believe in Jesus but still are a homo. God will work on them and if they respond or not is their walk. But if they come into the presence of another believer and say, "I'm gay and I'm Christian...Deal with it...and when I say deal with it I mean I do not believe God made me gay and is considers it a sin. Otherwise He would not have made me this way." Then the Christian say, "well you are my brother and if you say God doesn't consider it a sin then who am I to judge you on that. In fact I think it is ok too and welcome brother. I will join you in your mission to say being gay is ok."
It seems the biblical Christian the truth in love and it may be something like this:
"I believe we should pray for all believers that struggle with sin and homosexuality is a sin whether we feel it is ok or not. The word of God says it is a sin and if you will agree with that then God will forgive you(see 1 John 1:9, but if you will not agree with God on what sin is how can you be forgiven?
God writes his law on our heart. Believers are not to lift up sin as ok. No sin is ok. If someone comes to me and says, 'Hey, I'm cheating on my wife and brother....I can't help it....I think God is ok with it because my wife is a pain in the rear end anyway. I really do not think I'm sinning on this one bro."
Then I would tell this person they are deep in error and sin and need to change their mind about that and stop committing adultery. If I said, "Hey brother I cannot relate. You know how God is working in your life and if it FEELS ok then who am I to say it is a sin."
THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH
Sin is not relative. Believers are not to lift up sin. This whole discussion of "Can a Christian be gay?" is confusing and debatable without the word of God. Spiritually blind people get sidetracked from what is really important because of lies.
Believing lies is believing Satan because he is the father of lies. Follow Jesus, not Satan.
Remember:
Proverbs 17:15
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
