My friend ,Imaginefree69, pls. try reading 1john3 in NIV version for wider understanding. Also try reading 1john2:1&3 it states there that we "does commit sin" . Again , I repeat, in 1john1:8&10 says ,that if we say we do not sin, we make Hih a liar. In other words, we still unintentionally commit sin. Even Jesus taught us in our prayers to always ask forgiveness from the Father(matt.6:9-15). Why did JESUS teach his disciples to ask forgiveness if the CAN NOT SIN? GODBLESS YOU my friend.
nmccris says "it doesn't mean born again individual never sins" The Bible says "whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him. .. LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. He that commmitteth sin is of the devil. Whosoever is born of God, COMMITTETH NOT SIN: for his seed abideth in him, and he CAN NOT SIN, because he is born of God." 1 John 3 Take your pick.
in the bible, being BORN AGAIN, you do not abide in sin. it doesn't mean born again individual never sins( 1john 5:17). in 1john1:8 and verse 10, no body is sinless. if we say that we do not sin , we make GOD a liar, that verse says. but upon confessions of our sins
(1john1:9) GOD forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness! so, i don't say born again while still on earth is sinless. but i say that genuine born again is always forgiven and always cleansed.GODBLESS!

Being born again means that you can not sin.
How's that working out for you so far?
