I never said you did. You seem to be ignoring all explanations that do not fit with your beliefs, so I was wondering if you are only looking for an explanation that fits your beliefs.
In other words, are you no different than an atheist?

You must have the mentality of a child to accept explanations that make no sense. Just like the child accepting stories about Santa Claus as the truth becuase they are not able to see that flying reindeer delivering toys is just not possible, you are the same.
My opening post has nothing to do with any of your explanations, but you believe it because your church says so.

OK, your beliefs it is. Next time start the thread off with that so that everyone knows.

The thread is about this passage:
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. (John 9:31 KJV)
And up to now you have addressed nothing in this passage. All you have done is sidestep what the passage is saying and written nothing relevant. The other Christians have done exactly the same thing.
Why? Because something in this passage conflicts with their church doctrine.

According to your beliefs I did not answer. According to my beliefs I have.
If God does not count a person's sin against him, then from God's point of view did he sin?

Would you say that there is a difference between one who lives sinful life, and one who commits sin? I ask because I know that Christians generally have a problem with that distinction.

If God does not hold a person's sin against him, then the person is sinless in the eyes of God.
If God believes the person to be sinless God will answer that person's prayers. In reality the imperfect person is made sinless by God.
You can stomp your feet if you like, but what I wrote is the truth of the matter and answes your question for this thread.

I dont deal with unknowns. I deal with the practical realities of this human existance regarding the teachings of the Bible.
Bearing that in mind who are those who God would not hold sin against. Do you know? NO. Does anyone ? NO. You yourself said that only God knows. Then what is the point is constantly making that statement
