But he does, 1 John 1:9.Sins are only forgiven for those who truly repent and change their ways.
If they sin again, God may not forgive again.
Jesus told us to forgive 70x7. It would be hypocritical of him to demand that we do something which he wasn't prepared/able to do himself.
You don't seem to understand that it is your interpretation that links 1 Peter 4:12 to "the day of the Lord" - which, by the way, is an OT concept.Persecution and tribulations are ongoing. The Day of the Lords fiery wrath is a once only event.
It's your interpretation only that it will happen soon.I have warned many times about this, now very soon to happen; sudden and shocking worldwide disaster,
You've been wrong once already.
The OT "day of the Lord" is not the same as the NT teaching about Jesus' return.but people seem unable to comprehend it.
In the OT, The Day of the Lord was an event where God would act, punish all of Israel's enemies with fire and reward Israel, who were God's people. The Messiah would come, bringing the Kingdom of God.
Christians believe, and teach, that the Messiah has already come, that the Kingdom of God is here, now - though not fully. Jesus will return one day as King, definitely. But it may not be in the way that the Jews would have expected.
I am quite sure that people understand that Jesus will return - they no doubt disagree with your interpretation of when/how that will happen.
What did you think I meant?Only in a Spiritual way.
God is Spirit.
But I didn't mention that.Romans 9:24-27 does tell us where the faithful children of God will live. In the very same place as ancient Israe was exiled from. Hosea 1:10-11
I quoted verses to show that we are God's children if we believe in Jesus. We have this now; it's not something that happens in the future after we die.
You then started talking about where God's children will live - which is not relevant to what I said.
That remark was a comment on what you said.If you wish to continue this conversation, do not make stupid remarks.
If God blots people's names out of the book of life when they sin how do you account for the fact that David sinned, but repented and was called a man after God's own heart? He sinned more than once.
If God blots people's names out of the book of life when they sin, Peter's name mustn't be in there - unless God wrote it in again afterwards, then blotted it out again when Peter was accused of hypocrisy.
If a Christian has their name removed from the Book of Life the first time that they sin after conversion, none of us would be here. It would also have been wrong of Jesus to tell us to forgive 70 x 7. Why should we, if God himself is unable to?
