What you need is God in your life.
The author of 1 John was very clear and very explicit about who is born of God, who abides in Christ, who has seen Christ, who knows Christ, etc.
"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;"
"Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not"
"whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him"
Those who are "born of God doth n ...[text shortened]... ording to 1 John 3:4-9 who "hath not seen him"?
According to 1 John 3:4-9 who "hath not known him"?
The whole Bible agrees with itself, one part of it is not going to be in conflict with another part of it. In your case you cannot even keep it straight looking at a single book. Jesus said told us we are to forgive those who wronged us, He even said if we don't forgive we will not be forgiven it was so important. Your doctrine rules that out completely, the text isn't what your claiming. God's grace is for those who ask Him for it calling on Jesus Christ, those who then give it to others, and those that don't abuse it by living a life of sin without repentance as discussed by your text.
While your doctrine is sin once your out.
1 John 1 English Standard Version
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Why do you NEVER say why this isn't true? It doesn't agree with your message.
Luke 17 English Standard Version
Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
If God is telling us to forgive those of us who have been sinned against, why according to your doctrine doesn't He forgive us when we ask?
