Can you continue to knowingly sin and remain a Christian?

The awakening is to sin not, the sleeping is sinning.


1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

2 Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
The awakening has to do with the knowledge.
The sleeping has to do with the ignorance.
 
Born again believers still sin. That does not mean they are not born again. It means they still have flesh bodies from which sin comes from in the born again person.
Nah, the only verses on born again are opposite to you.


1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
 
No I will do as I feel led to do, and it is good if Tenchi can perform the good, then we know Apostle Paul could always and did always too perform the good. ( not sin)
Please stop this sinless perfection crap. Being born again does not mean you no longer sin. It means you still have a flesh body where sin dwells and nothing good resides.

Good resides when our flesh body is dead.

Stop denying the obvious.


Romans 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
 
If you want to know how good dwells in us when we are dead to sin,( to be alive in the Spirit) this is HOW..


2 Timothy 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
 
Sin is not the knowledge of God, not sinning is.
You posted this passage:

1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

I am not saying that sin is the knowledge of God.

I said in contrast to what you said that Paul is instructing believers in Corinth to WAKE UP and understand the knowledge of God with reference to righteousness, not sin. Knowledge of the righteousness Christ provided would keep them from sin-ful lives. If the KNEW/KNOWLEDGE.
 
If you want to teach sinning, try Islam, or Judaism, Jesus Christ is not the minister of sin, the devil's ministers are.



Galatians 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

2 Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. ( sinning)

Sin is not belief in Christ, as what is not of faith is sin.



John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Do you think this thread upholding sinning, shows faith in Christ, it shows how to die in our sins. ( no belief in Christ.)
 
The born of God are dead to sins, they are risen with Christ, they believe Christ is risen, they cannot sin, as sin is what is not of faith, and they die in their sins for not believing that Christ is the Son of God. ( who it is impossible to be held in death.)


Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
 
Now, if you guys want to continue your circles with each other go ahead, or just wonder why you never can be seen to acknowledge the wholesome words of Jesus Christ.

Non doing of strife, debate, contention, dispute, as I am going now, but some intervention has to take place some time.
 
I am married to a divorced woman and therefore, according to Jesus, I am living in adultery (Matthew 5:32).

I would have to say with David that "my sin is ever before me" (Psalms 51:3); because God also hateth putting away (Malachi 3:16) so that is not an option.

Only if the husband is still alive.

For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Rom. 7:2–3.

But there are other considerations.
 
Peter and Barnabas "stood to be condemned", and "were not walking in line with the gospel" in Acts 2:11-14.

Can't wait to see how you rationalize that away.
I think you may have erred on your citing.
I couldn't find any scripture where they were named together, so it didn't show up on "BibleGateway".
"stood to be condemned" didn't show up either.
 
Nobody is saying sin comes from the Holy Spirit.

Sin comes from the flesh, which every believer still has.
Then you don't believe Rom 6:6-7, or Gal 5:24, or Rom 7:5, 8:9, or Col 2:11.
All speak to the casting off or destruction of the "flesh".
Walk in the Spirit instead of the flesh.

Them not really being born again is an impossible argument to make. So I'm guessing you'll make it so they were not really sinning.
