Why do you sin, part deux?

[convicted1]

Brother Wes, why do you choose to sin? If you can live sinless, what is stopping you from doing so?

Brother Wes posted this in reply to one of my post in the other "Why do you sin?" thread:

That's nonsense and you know it. You do not HAVE to sin. A week or so ago I challenged folks to tell me even one occasion in their life that they HAD to sin, and not one person gave a single example.

Tell me Willis, name even one time in your entire life that you HAD to sin and could not have done the right thing. I'll be waiting.

And Jesus became a real man, subject to the same weaknesses as us. God cannot die, but Jesus truly did die. God does not get tired or hungry, Jesus had to sleep and eat.

Not only that, but Jesus directly implied that he could lie.

Jhn 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

The word "if" denotes possibility, Jesus said "if" he were to deny he knew his Father, then he would be a liar.

He could have said, "I cannot lie, it is impossible". He didn't say that did he?

Jesus also implied he did not have to do his Father's will and be taken in the garden and go to the cross.

Mat 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

It may have been ordained in eternity past that Jesus would go to the cross, but here he plainly implies that if he did not want to, he could "now" pray to his Father for rescue. And what is more amazing is that Jesus implies his Father would change all his plans and send more than twelve legions of angels to rescue him.

The Father didn't FORCE Jesus to go to the cross, that would be wrong. He desired that Jesus would go to the cross to redeem mankind, but Jesus had to WILLINGLY CHOOSE to do this.

Jesus didn't HAVE to die for us, he could have let us all die for our sins. We deserve to die for our sins, there would have been nothing wrong with that. So if Jesus was unwilling to die for us, the Father would not have forced him, but rescued Jesus if he would have requested it.

You guys are so far out in right field you are not even in the ballpark.

Brother Wes, sin is an intrinsic problem and not extrinsic. Sin exists within everyone of us, including babies. Just because babies don't run around cursing, stealing, lying, cheating, &c., doesn't mean it's not there. It's like you are digging, looking for water to make a well. The water doesn't come to fruition the very moment you see it. It's been there all along, but you exposed it when you found it. Sin is a heart problem. The heart is desperately wicked and who can know it?(Jer. 17:9). The tongue is the portal by which this wicked heart is exposed. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks(Matt. 12:34, Luke 6:45).

You are the one outta the zip code....forget the ballpark. Brother, BOTH Cals and Non-Cals have tried to show you how horrible your doctrine is in regards to this very subject. But you want to remain on a remote island. Please reconsider your position...
