Whoever has been of God commits no sin. How can this be?

Question

I John 3:9

Whoever has been born of God commits no sin.

Answer 1

You must read the rest of the verse to understand it. "So they can't keep on sinning, because they have been born of God."
It means that true believers do not make a practice of continuing in sin, nor do they become indifferent to God's moral law. All believers still sin, but they are working to gain victory over sin.

Answer 2

Honey, that is the very bit of 1 John that stumped me in Bible College. I thought it would make sense when I studied it in the koine greek. Guess what it says in the original language?

Basically, there are 4 types of "if" in greek. This one means "IF (and maybe you will and maybe you won't) you sin, it means you have never been "of God."

They have massive books "explaining it away". They say what it really means is that if you "continue in sin" - but that is clearly NOT what that verse says. :(

Answer 3

Answer 6

1John 2

Answer 7

The only way to salvation is to repent of breaking Yahweh's Laws so that the sacrifice of Yahshua, the Lamb, will blot out your past sins. You cannot turn back to sin; otherwise, your sins will be upon your own head and your end will be worse than your beginning.

Yahchanan 5:14—
Afterward, Yahshua found him in the sacred precincts of The House of Yahweh, and said to him: Behold, you are healed. Sin no more, or a worse thing will come upon you.

This verse shows two things. One, we cause curses to come upon us when we break Yahweh's Laws. Two, the Laws were never done away with, except by the religions who have led you away from the Laws of Yahweh, that prevent the curses from coming upon you.

Read the inspired words of the Apostle Kepha (Peter) in your own Bible. Righteousness is keeping the Holy Commandments or Laws of Yahweh.

II Kepha 2:20-22—
20 Now if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of Yahweh and the Savior Yahshua Messiah, they are again entangled in them, and overcome by them, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the Holy Laws delivered to them.
22 There has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb: A dog returns to his own vomit, and: A sow is washed, only to wallow again in the mire.

Read those verses again. Do they sound like the Apostles thought Yahweh's Laws were done away with? Now notice just the opposite.

Deuteronomy 6:1,7,25—
1 Now these are the Laws, the statutes, and the judgments which Yahweh your Father has commanded me to teach you: so that you may observe them in the land you are crossing over to possess;
7 And you must teach them diligently to your children, and talk about them when you sit in your house, and when you walk on the road, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
25 And it will be our righteousness, if we observe to do all of this Law before Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.



I Yahchanan 3:4—
Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law.

I Yahchanan 2:4—
He who says: I know Him, but does not keep His Law, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

I Yahchanan 3:7-8—
7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil.


Yechetzqyah 18:20-24—
20 The soul that sins, it will die. The son will not bear the iniquity of the father, nor will the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.
21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all My statutes, and do that which is Lawful and right, then he will surely live; he will not die.
22 And his transgressions that he has committed will not be mentioned against him; in his righteousness that he has done, he will live.
23 Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? says Father Yahweh: No, but rather that he would turn back from his wicked ways, and live.
24 But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does—should he live? All his righteousness that he has done will not be mentioned in his behalf. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he will die.

Hebrews 10:16, 24-27—
16 This is the covenant that I will renew with them after those days, says Yahweh: I will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them;
24 And let us consider one another, how we may urge one another on toward love and righteous Works;
25 Not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more as you see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful expectation of judgment, yes, a zealous judgment. For it will come to pass that the adversaries will be devoured..

False preachers teach that the so-called New Testament does away with the Laws of Yahweh. This is a lie! There is no Scripture that backs them in such lies. Because of their teachings, Isayah 24:1-6 will be fulfilled before your eyes in this time period.

Notice what the Apostle Shaul said.

Galatians 5:18—
For if you are led by Spirit, are you not under the Law?

The unrighteous preachers who are leading the world into sickness and disease—there are over 125 STDs in the world at this time—don't look at the results of their own teachings. In the minds of the lying preachers this verse means they do not need to abstain from fornication, adultery, uncleanness, and licentiousness. All one needs to do is read the rest of the chapter to see that the Apostle is not doing away with Yahweh's Law.

Galatians 5:19-21—
19 For the works of the flesh are obvious, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
20 Godworship (the worship of elohim), sorcery, hatred, contentions, evil jealousies, rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions; disagreements with quarreling, heresies; sects or factions of division,
21 Envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I warn you beforehand, just as I did in times past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh.

I Yahchanan 3:7-8—
7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil.

So what was the Apostle saying? He was simply saying this: If you convert to keeping Yahweh's Laws and repent of past sins, you're no longer under the Law of the death penalty for sin. Of course, your sins are forgiven. Continue reading in Galatians Chapter 5.

Galatians 5:22-23—
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering; patience, kindness, righteousness, The Faith;
23 Meekness; gentleness, humility, temperance; self-control__such things are not against any Law.

The Last Days are here, and Yahweh's Work is once again teaching the Laws of Yahweh, and the prophecies concerning Yahweh's Plan, going to all nations. People are beginning to see that breaking the Laws of Yahweh brings sickness, disease, and wars, just as prophecy shows they would bring upon themselves in this time period. People are hearing the Message preached and they are turning to Yahweh by learning righteousness and repenting of their past sins, even as was done in the days of the Apostles.

Disobedience also shows your character and the character of the religious world at this time.

Isayah 59:4-15—
4 No one calls for justice, nor does any plead for truth. They trust in vanity; confusion, and speak lies; scriptural untruths. They conceive mischief; trouble, and give birth to evil; sin.
5 They hatch vipers' eggs, and weave the spiders' web; he who eats their eggs dies, and when one is broken a viper bursts out.
6 Their webs will not serve as clothing, nor will they cover themselves with what they make; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8 They do not know the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made themselves crooked paths; whoever walks on them will not know peace.
9 Therefore justice is far from us, nor does righteousness overtake us. We wait for light, but only see obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes; we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as the dead.
11 We groan like bears, all of us; we moan mournfully like doves; we look for justice, but there is none—for salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them—
13 In transgressing and lying against Yahweh, and turning away from following our Father, speaking oppression and rebellion, conceiving and uttering from the mind words of falsehood:
14 So judgment is driven backwards, and justice stands afar off, for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yes, truth; the Law, is suppressed; and he who departs from evil; upholds the Law, is accounted as mad; makes himself a prey! Yahweh saw this, and He saw the evil that there was no justice in the last days.

Does this fit today's morals and actions? The Savior said the following about today's morals and actions.

Mattithyah 24:37—
But just as the days of Noah were, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man.

How was mankind before the flood?

Genesis 6:5, 11-13—
5 Then Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every intent of the thoughts of man's heart was only evil, continually.
11 The earth also was corrupt before Yahweh, and the earth was lawless, filled with violence.
12 So Yahweh looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13 And Yahweh said to Noah: The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and they have corrupted themselves with the earth.

Total disobedience is what we see from all religions today and it's leading to total destruction.
