If we say we have no sin, we call him a liar and the truth is not in us. ☝🏿 You are quoting this to believers, to justify confession of sins. Kindly think. Apply your brain. If this text addresses believers , it means YOU WANT BELIEVERS TO ALWAYS SIN. This text says if we say we have no sin, we lie…. This means, we are liars if we ever say we have no sin, meaning we always have sins, we are liars if we say we are not committing sins, meaning we are committing sins. How does this encourage your holiness message? The holiness message clearly focuses on living outside sins or above sins. Yet you use a text that convicts of sins for people who shouldn’t be sinning. No! Don’t argue! Just think! I know you don’t like to think! Please think na. It’s free, just think! If you say you do not owe me, you are a liar, but if you confess that you owe me, I will clear your debt. If this is said to people who shouldn’t be in debt, it means you are saying they are always in debt and thus need their debts cleared always. You are not empowering them to live above debts, you are empowering them to have more debts so they can confess that they owe. Confessions of sins doesn’t empower godly living, it makes sinful living a consistent habit requiring consistent forgiveness. If you claim that text is written to believers, you are not thinking! I am begging you, THINK!!

‼️ANSWERING TOP FIVE QUESTIONS ASKED BY THOSE WHO REJECT ETERNAL SECURITY (🚨Long Writeup Alert 🚨) Shalom brother and Thank you for asking these exegetical questions instead of merely making assertions though I can perceive your sarcasm in asking them. However, I believe each of these passages is frequently interpreted in isolation rather than within its literary, covenantal, and redemptive context. Scripture must interpret Scripture, and no doctrine should be established from warning passages while ignoring the overwhelming passages that explicitly teach the certainty of God’s saving work (John 6:37–40; John 10:27–29; Romans 8:29–39; Ephesians 1:13–14; Philippians 1:6; Hebrews 7:25). 1. WHAT ABOUT HEBREWS 6:4–6? Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Hebrews 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, Hebrews 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. This is perhaps the most cited passage against Eternal Security, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. The first thing to do is not to immediately conclude that on the basis of this , “A believer can lose salvation” The first question is, “What is the purpose of Hebrews?” What is the author’s intention and what is he trying to achieve? Hebrews was written primarily to Jewish believers who were under intense persecution and were being tempted to abandon Christ and return to the Levitical system. The entire book contrasts the superiority of Christ over Judaism. Notice carefully what the writer says. He never says these people lost salvation. He says it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. Repentance from what? Hebrews answers its own question. Throughout the book, repentance refers to abandoning dead works and embracing Christ (Hebrews 6:1). The writer is warning against rejecting Christ and his finished works after receiving the fullest revelation available. Furthermore, notice the hypothetical structure. If such people completely reject Christ after experiencing all these covenant blessings, there remains no other sacrifice because Christ is the only sacrifice. The impossibility is not because God refuses to forgive them. It is because there is nowhere else to go outside Christ. Most importantly, the writer immediately distinguishes his audience. After issuing the warning he says, “But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation.” (Hebrews 6:9) Why would he say “things that accompany salvation” if verses 4–6 already described salvation? Because the warning is functioning pastorally, not dogmatically. 2. WHAT ABOUT JOHN 15? John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Context is everything. John 13–17 is Jesus’ Upper Room discourse. He is speaking to the eleven disciples after Judas has already departed. The key word throughout John 15 is abide (menō). Abiding is about fellowship, communion, fruitfulness and dependence. Notice Jesus says, “Without Me you can do nothing.” The emphasis is fruit-bearing. The branch imagery comes directly from the Old Testament where Israel was God’s vine. Fruitless branches represent those outwardly connected to God’s covenant community but lacking genuine life. Remember Judas had just left. He was “among” them but never truly belonged to Christ. John himself explains this principle later: “They went out from us because they were not of us.” (1 John 2:19) Furthermore, nowhere in John 15 does Jesus discuss justification. The discussion is discipleship, fruitfulness and communion.
