I showed tough love to you by posting my response. Yet sometimes tough love is not appropriate. The response to those new members on the previous thread were inappropriate. They did not come on here to attack anyone, but to answer a simple question, and for that they were attacked. That is not a proper way to show God's love.
I fear that you have fallen into the trap of presuming to know God’s will; I can only assume that you have not read Pastor Isaac Peter’s words.

Many times our personal (as opposed to spiritual) conscience prompts us to oppose an action that God has willed. Take the famous example of the bears killing children for mocking the prophet. Is that right to you? Perhaps not but it is all part of the revealed nature of The Lord.

Many words of God can be seen as absolute, e.g. Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Others are addressed to a particular audience or situation. To the untutored mind, there are conflicts in verses and advice. These are not discrepancies; it is natural. Are they conflicts or are they nuances explanatory to earlier pronouncements?

For your second point: Be careful. By claiming that believers are without sin, and thus perfect, you are putting them on the same level as God and Christ. That is blasphemous. The bible tells us only God is truly perfect and without sin.
Then how do we explain 1John3:6?




“We must reassert that the essence of Christianity is the love of obedience to God’s Laws and that how that complete obedience is used or implemented does not concern us.”
