Maybe if I were one of his patients he would eventually convince me that I was in fact you. 😞

Yes, I would do that.

I think the answer to this was provided in another thread, though not by me.
I think as Christians when we sin, we break fellowship with God, which is why when we sincerely repent and ask for forgiveness, our sins are washed away by the blood of Jesus Christ.

The fact of the matter is that I provided no interpretation. 1 John 3:4-10 is clear and unambiguous in what it says. It is consistent with 1 John 1:5-10. It is consistent with the gospel preached by Jesus during His ministry.

You're dishonest in how you interact with people on this forum. You're dishonest with how you interpret scripture.
In this respect, it is not unlike the Old Testament in that God informed Jews of the Mosaic law, Jews could not keep it without error, and God allowed Jews to atone for their sins (failure to keep the law) by sacrificing animals.
The fact of the matter is that vicarious atonement was abrogated by God as revealed by the late OT prophets. That you refuse to acknowledge this fact is even more evidence of your dishonesty.
Originally posted by @thinkofoneI see you’re falsely claiming I’m dishonest as well. Is that the new schtik with the trolls? Did y’all have a meeting and settle on that strategy?
