That's prior to Salvation. After we are saved by Jesus, our sins are gone and we cannot sin.

1 John 3:5-9 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
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.

Then how do those Born of God back slide and sin?

Those Born of God do NOT back slide and sin. If they do so, it just shows that they were never saved in the first place.

Hebrews 6:4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

1 John 3:5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

1 John 3"8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.

1 John 5:18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.

3 John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

The problem here is we follow the Bible, whereas you just follow what you want. For more info on this, read here: http://www.stopsinning.net/

Your free will is never taking away by God, which is how Jesus was caught,
Which disciple way it that told on him, I forget his name, he was saved right?, he did hear God and walked with Jesus?

Unless he did not sin then?

Judas was not saved. Jesus picked Him and knew he was a devil from the beginning:

John 6: 70 Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!” 71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)

See, the problem here is you rely on what you think instead of what the Bible says.

Also, the Bible says NOTHING about people having free will. It says God decides who is saved or not, and our choices have nothing to do with it.

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy

If God has preordained you to be among His elect, then you are guided by the Spirit - not this unbiblical "free will" of which you speak. How else could it be that True Christians™ are incapable of sinning?

John 15:16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Ephesians 1:11
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Romans 9:15-16
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

If you make decisions bases on what your own will and understanding rather than on the Word of God (see Proverbs 3:5-7), then you have to honestly consider that you are not, in fact, a Christian but instead a vain little man following a false religion of your own creation. What you have told us seems to indicate that you have been seduced by a false Christ which exists only in your sorely deluded imagination.

Matthew 23:23-24
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

It seems that the LORD has brought you here for a reason. My heart rejoices that we have this opportunity to teach you what Christianity is really all about.

God never takes away our free will, your sadly mistaken.

I have read and read the Bible, maybe I do not have it all figured out, but I try to though, my rule is, if your ideas promotes hate, your NOT of God, simple as that.

I go to church outings and wonder why they do what they do.

God does want us to love each other right?

I think Paul put it best in Romans 9. There is no free will. God chooses whom He will save.

11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth.
12It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy

Levi I respect your posts somewhat but there is free will set by God and it is out of Jesus's hands.

God does not take away free will.

We all will cross many roads in our lives and will always have the choice.

Right?

Can you back that up with Scripture?

I'll save you the trouble: No you cannot.

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy

I remember with my first two children, both tried to question God by rubbing their selves and claim they were only cleaning their selves at which I built their own chastity belts.

my kids are not ever to leave the house
nor can they ever access the internet
nor do they ever leave my sight.

That is Gos will

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy

So, is this what Christianity has become? Hating on a game that has nothing to do with satanism or male genetalia. This game in no way mocking God's creations, in any shape or form. It's just somebody trying to make a living and bring some enjoyment into this rather depressing world that we currently live in.

Question... if children are not allowed to be creative, then how will any form of music, films, literature or games be created in the future. According to all forms of Christianity, God is all knowing, all loving and all powerful and as he created the world (he must of been creative to create the world) he made us so that we became creative. Without creativity we would not have this Internet or this forum that you are using.

The American way... if I may say so, the British way is by far better I think you'll find, seeing as we brought Christianity to the Americas.

Only music, films, literature and games with Christian themes will be legal forms of artistic expression in the future.

None of that is relevant. God already created everything we need and they should spend time on Bible Study not on becoming creative drug addicted hippies.

Thanks for that. I could use a good laugh.

Good luck with that, I'd love to see you get Microsoft, Warner Bro's or Bloomsbury to only publish Christian themed products.
