| What is John's definition of sin here ---> "Who has been born of God does not sin. for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God." - "He who sins is of the devil" -( 1 John 3:8-9 )
And what is Jesus' definition of sin here ---> "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin" - ( John 15:22 ) What this is saying to those that say, "I know Jesus" and says, "I know His Words" have NO EXCUSE for their sin."
What Saul/St.Paul's definition of sin when he said, "with my flesh I serve the law of sin." --- "I do the very thing I hate" --- "the evil I do not want is what I do" --- "it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me."
Can someone define these definitions of sin?
Paul's writings are very important and should not be thrown out. I just asked a couple of questions.
1) Did Saul/St.Paul know Jesus as John knew Jesus?
2) How does Saul/St.Paul fair on 'The Test of Knowing Jesus' according to John?
1 John 3:8, For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the 'works of the devil'.
Saul/St.Paul should of went to St. John to learn about who Jesus was and His Words of Love. LOVE destroy the 'works of the devil'. This is why Jesus said, "Love your enemies"
Peace be with you, Paul |
