Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@Qui_Gon_Jinn_76 says : Heard a pastor say that "iniquity" is the continuing in willful sin against God. Matthew 7:23 depart from Me you workers of iniquity. I never knew you. Believers still sin. However, they, according to 1 John, will NOT continue willfully and complacently living in sin. Believers in Jesus Christ will not seek out opportunities to sin against God. If a person does that, they almost certainly are not born again.>> <<@terrillclark6486 says : Biblically explained this is what is greatly needed thank you.>> <<@brettroethler749 says : God knows your true intentions💖🙏>> <<@kevindesatnik8461 says : Thank you for sharing this. Very needed explanation because I know I'm not worthy, but in always trying to be better. Thank you>> <<@vitoasaro4663 says : WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH NOT BY WORKS>> <<@christdeveloped says : Great answer.>> <<@wlonsdale1 says : All sin starts in the mind and the body gives it birth. Stop it from its genesis.>> <<@raemondwright1173 says : It's when you stop repenting that you should be concerned>> <<@G6Tarantula says : Thank God for this young man’s question and Turek’s answer>> <<@Myjesus-1 says : When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, he made a new covenant for his true followers. He was able to send the Holy Spirit to transform us to righteousness and conquer the flesh nature to set us free from the practice of sin, and it's desires. I think it is possibly even blasphemy against the Holy Spirit when people deny the power of the Holy Spirit to transform us to righteousness. The Apostle Paul said that we are not in the flesh if the Holy Spirit lives in us. 2 Corinthians 10:3 Paul also tells us that we have been set free from sinful desires: "For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh." Isaiah 53:5 says: "But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds WE ARE HEALED." Before Jesus came, the law that people lived under could not conquer the flesh nature. That is why people had to sacrifice animals repeatedly. The cleansing that God provides is not temporary. It is permanent. When he cleanses us from ALL sin, we are made righteous. Hebrews 7:27 says: "He (Jesus) has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself." When Christians repent of their sins daily they don't have the Holy Spirit. They are still living under the Old Covenant, because they can't get clean. Many Christians mock the Holy Spirit by saying it is impossible to conquer the flesh nature and stop sinning. They don't believe. They are watering down and diminishing the power of the Holy Spirit in their own minds & in the minds of others. They are mocking the miracle of transformation that brings us Salvation. People flock to false religion due to the corruption in their hearts. False Christians will dilligently search their bibles looking for loopholes to sin. 1 Peter 2:24 confirms that it is possible to stop sinning: "He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” When we are healed from the bondage of sin, it is permanent. "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." Scripture describes false converts as continuing in sin, because they deny the power of the Holy Spirit. 2 Timothy 3:5 "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." Scripture gives a strong warning of eternal damnation to those who reject the New Covenant by sinning: Hebrews 10:28-29 "Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?" God's grace does not free us to sin. It does not cover continued sin or future sins. It does not forgive deliberate sin. It frees us from sin. Ungodly Christians reject the gift of righteousness that God offers. False Christians cling to a doctrine of demons that tells them they get to keep their sins, and there is no penalty. This is much more appealing to false converts than the thought of giving up their sins. John 3:36 jesus said, "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him." If people can't understand the clear language that Jesus used, perhaps their hearts have become hardened. God, in his wisdom, does not leave us in a sinful condition, because over time, sin destroys the human conscience. When this happens, they are lost. We can see evidence of a darkened conscience and a hardened heart when people mock and ridicule the precious gift that Jesus gave up his life to bring to us so that we can recieve righteousness that is required for Salvation. When Christians reject the New Covenant, Jesus will reject them, and they will have to pay the full penalty that that the Law always required for disobedience under the Old Covenant. That means eternal damnation.>> <<@binhanh296 says : The grace of God is just like the light revealing the path to God, on that path, their will be obstacle, we wil try our best to avoid the obstacle, but there will be times when the obstacle is so hard to avoid and we fall, what we decide after we fall is crucial. Do you want to stay down after you fall, or do you want to get up and keep walking toward the light? No matter how many times I fall, I keep my focus on the light that God provide me, and I put my trust in Jesus, no matter the situation. Devils will tempt me, that's for sure, but I will not stray away from God.>> <<@gregoryfairchild2460 says : The Bible says wilfully sinning after knowing the truth there is no more sacrifice of for sin. You may skip up and sin, but if you say to be yourself Im going to do this sin because I like it, then you may be in trouble>> <<@cwdesigns101 says : That was an absolutely perfect answer to his question. Simple, basic and biblical. Thank you.>> <<@solideomusical says : I love Frank's explanation but am not in agreement with calling christians 'sinners.'>> <<@nephroyti says : Keep going, pray, never give up. Ask God to deliver you from sin.....to help you resist evil. This is what i do. I WONT GIVE UP, AND NEITHER DOES JESUS>> <<@higiniomorales459 says : If you can continue to sin, and there's no conviction in your heart as you continue to engulf yourself in sin. If you feel no guilt in your heart towards God as you continue to "stray" into a carnal debaucherous lifestyle that will make Satan proud, then i dare say you my friend are a Tare. If you can turn your back on God and indulge in the flesh for years without an ounce of conviction, and i mean conviction towards God, not your parents nor men, but the Almighty, then i would really question if i was ever truly saved or if i just had a emotional religious experience. Many are raised in the church and then head out to college and fully embrace that hedonistic environment, and the only time they'll feel shame is when they go back home and play church. But after they go back to school, they live and dress like the world. There's a difference between knowing the Lord mentally, and knowing him from the heart. I'm not perfect, I've sinned and strayed during my walk with the Lord. But i was always very self conscious of my shameless actions as i "chose" to put down my cross and indulge in the flesh, there was even time as i was doing the deed that there was that voice in my heart saying "this is wrong, go, leave, stop". The convicting power of the Holy Spirit is no joke, so when you fall, acknowledge that you did wrong and confess your sins to the Lord. Get back up, pick up that cross and continue to strive to walk with the Lord and live a lifestyle that aligns with his word and not the world. God bless ye brethren, in Jesus name.>> <<@michaelorman1205 says : I believe the key to understanding this issue comes from Hebrews... NKJV, Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins... The willful sin is not just knowing what you are doing is sin, but rather an exerting of your will against GOD without repentance. Simply put, willful sin would be we sin and don't care, not just struggling with the same sin. NKJV, Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more... As long as we have a repentant heart, GODS grace will always abound towards us.>> <<@MichaelHarrell-b4c says : Man this is deep i been a follower if Jesus for 30 years i can tell you that the holy spirit inside you will work your soul and show you just how dark it gets when you decide to walk outside the light but the more you learn about Jesus's character in the bible the more those other things offend you>> <<@ramonfabular1022 says : Focus on Jesus, no matter what. Jesus bless all our journeys.✝️💞🙏✌>> <<@irod1971 says : Nope>> <<@diegolucas4572 says : 1 John 3: 4 - 9 Sin and the Child of God 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever 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.>> <<@LauraBell-bj1rs says : As long as you believe, but if you fall back and you know it, you repent. But if you sin and don't care, and keep during it, I doubt if you are truly save, alot of people seems to thinks it's a free card to heaven, but if you don't change, you're just playing church goer>> <<@austinperry1671 says : 1cor 2:10-16 and 1john1-2. The christian who habitually sins has recourse in confession and repentance. 1 John 5:16 “… If anyone sees his brother fncommitting a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and fnGod will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this…” Contrast two types of people seen in the Bible. The follower of God and ungodly. Both sin, Rom 3, the one who strives to follow God, who stumbles from time to time but gets up asks God to forgive and keep walking with him. The person who is obstinate and rebellious against God who continues to sin willfully, We always hope that all come to know God. We can’t ask that sin be forgiven of a person who is rebellious and has no intent to come to God, but we can ask that sin be forgiven of those who strive to walk with God and falter from time to time, in that opportunity will come for them to repent.>> <<@Kmf_Jahh says : If u fall away then u are NOT saved and u forfeited you salvation. Repent and turn back to Christ Continually and habitually sinning means you are NOT a child of God but actually ur a child of Satan himself who has never known God>> <<@timothyvenable3336 says : I don’t think the question was understood>> <<@silive4067 says : Someone explain this verse then please “Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭26‬-‭29‬ ‭NLT‬‬>> <<@davispinner6642 says : I'm really glad this was addressed. I struggle as well as does every body. I think the key is repentance and trying to get better even though from time to time you might take a step back while moving forward.>> <<@amyknight8592 says : This!!! Brilliant>> <<@jesusreturning3003 says : That is true, it's a process, as long as you keep going to God and praying for ur deliverance and asking him to help you to resist, he sees your trying, and he knows in your heart u want to be set free. But if someone is in habitual sin and doesn't feel convicted about change, that's a problem. Video pretty much describes what it's like thru the sanctification process, its not easy, esp at the beginning of the walk, this is why we need Jesus, and to call out to him/God, that he can help you till your set free.. non of us can do it in our own power, otherwise if that was the case, Jesus wouldn't need to die for us, obviously we need a saviour, because we can not do it on our own.>> <<@unholydanger says : There were some who told me Salvation needs perfection>> <<@ajayigabriel says : At salvation, you're freed from the works of the flesh and henceforth bears the fruit of the spirit. There's strong hatred for sin deep within your soul.>> <<@phunkyjunkee says : “My grace is sufficient for you” ❤>> <<@Squishysforbreakfast says : The thief on the cross with Jesus is the illustration of this argument. What good works could that thief do on his cross about to die? Nothing but to cry out to Jesus. And Jesus promised him he would see him in paradise.>> <<@brandonmckown9952 says : Okay, so judging by the young man's comments, he believes in once saved always saved. This is a false teaching. You are not saved the moment you accept Jesus or repent. You only recieve salvation if you endure in the faith to the end of your life. "but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." In order to receive salvation, we have to repent of our sins *and stay in repentance.* Hebrews tells us that if we go back to a life of sin or persist in it, we can forever lose our chance to be saved. 26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a] and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[b] 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. To be honest, there is not a single person repenting today. The truth has been lost for over a thousand years. In order to repent, we have to cry over our sins. It's called "godly sorrow." Once someone does this, that's when they recieve The Holy Spirit. I highly recommend doing this if you want to take the test. 8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while— 9 yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. 10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 11 See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.>> <<@christiankameranbehnam6214 says : "No one can live continually in sin and continue to say the Rosary. Either he will give up the sin or he will give up the Rosary" - Bishop Patrick Boyle>> <<@ChosingGod says : Deuteronomy 23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. Deuteronomy 23:2>> <<@Leo3T says : Nothing unclean enters heaven. That’s what purgatory and hell are for. Those in purgatory get cleaned up and then get to enter Heaven. Not those in hell.>> <<@jeffmoestaygyi.1248 says : I have a question. Christians say as long as you accept Jesus you are going to heaven. Does this mean hitler is in heaven as a proclaimed Christian, and all the millions Jews he murdered are in hell as they didn’t believe in Jesus?>> <<@r3mi_righteous says : Facts, belief is all that is required for salvation>> <<@switchfoot8702 says : Exactly right!!>> <<@ifiok-dan7926 says : Those who practice sin are not of God. The grace that Paul writes about is able to help us overcome sin. So, those who habitually sin are not saved. If you follow Christ Jesus, He gives us power to overcome sin unless we don't have faith that He can. I disagree with Frank on this. I will not teach this sort of error.>> <<@WallyCard394 says : You cannot serve 2 masters. If you prefer your Sinn over Jesus you chose to not be saved. But if you give your sin to Jesus, He will take it away. This does not mean that we will be perfect or make no mistakes anymore. But if we are strangled in a Sinn for a longer period of time we still did not receive the full salvation. Repent, deny yourself get baptized and follow the holy spirit. Romans 8:1-17 explains this.>> <<@correctingculture says : Neat distinction. But you didn't answer the question.>> <<@jasonmason6909 says : Frank you’re right on everything except Paul and Roman’s 7…. Paul is referring to him trying to obey the law on his own before he knew Christ>> <<@guytouvi says : Amen 🙏>> <<@MrAuskiwi101 says : Sin is a cult invention. Of course in reality it doesn't exist. It only exists in the minds of indoctrinated believers.>> <<@VYMQGSOH says : Say if you found a Christian who was drunk, and had been doing that habitually for awhile but not their entire Christian life, If you ask them why are they doing it or do they believe they are setting, and do they want to do it, a real Christian would tell you they know they are sinning, and they are tempted to do it but they wish they were not, even in this sense they regret doing it because they know that God is not approve of it and finds it as a sin and it even has its results that are not quite pleasant, but they agreed as a sin and they agree they do not exactly fully enjoy it, it's almost as if they are in a sense of confusion or stuck between something and I need to find an answer to get out of it and I just can't find it yet, but in time if they were Christian God will get them out of it and eventually they will become too disgusted with being drunk that they are going to stop. It will separate them from joy in christ, they will not feel good for their Disobedience to him and knowing they are sending against him who has saved them, is that the entire time they are drunk they are not going to enjoy it like the world does. Therefore it can't go on for a season but not forever. They would find out a reason that would make them want to stop and they would because of how it would affect our relationship with Christ who they knew before they did it. But a lost person is going to enjoy it, they're not going to see the reason to stop, some of them can be fake Christians and basically say "yeah, I know it's a sin, but I enjoy it and we're all saved by grace through faith in Christ right, so all I have to do is believe like John 3:16 right? If all I have to do is believe and have faith in Christ to be saved and it doesn't matter what I've done, it doesn't matter if I sin, because if it mattered on what I did or didn't do then it would be based on works, and salvation in the Bible is not based on works it's based on just believing and having faith in christ, so no matter what I do or don't do as long as I believe and have faith in Christ and I'm going to heaven so I can sin all I want." You will see no heartbreak in the sense that they care about Christ that they are committing sin against him. Because they are not christian. Therefore yes, a Christian can have a time with a sin habitually, but the thing that is guaranteed is they will not fully enjoy it, they will know it's wrong, and they will actually wish they would come out of it but something has to give them enough reason and motivation to commit to getting out of it unless God himself pulls them out . And likely in time God will work through the holy spirit in them to make them want to stop. And two heartbroken to sin against the Lord that has given his life for them. Yet the Lost person and even the fake Christian will just keep doing it because they have not truly been saved, they don't have the Holy Spirit that convicts them that they sinned against god, and they don't really have a relationship with Christ that they would feel the separation from him that they once had a relationship with Him to begin with.>> <<@moisestorres9618 says : Amen. Because salvation doesn’t depend on our behavior but on trusting in what Jesus did on the cross. However we shouldn’t sin nonetheless. Sin has consequences.>> <<@leroyjennings5842 says : I wonder if we were to live over a thousand years would we be perfected in this life through Sanctification?>> <<@duartepaintinghandymanservices says : Amen, salvation is permanent! We are born spiritually once as we are only born in the flesh one time>>
