Someone is saying they deny that people (Christian or non- Christian) sin every day. This is because of a skewed meaning of sin. Remember sin is not just lying, murder, sex before marriage, etc. Christ was trying to make this point in the gospel of Mt. where their were people who seemed to live perfect lives. Christ says the greatest command is to LOVE the Lord God with all your heart, and I believe that this is the sin that more people struggle with than any other sin! All fall short here!

John Calvin was a man, who like us sinned constantly. Sin isn't just the action committed, it's the condition of our hearts. We are justified and sinners at the same time! We don't stop struggling with sin, it's going to be a fight until we are with the father! Just like Calvin said, we are constantly in sin. JESUS CHRIST is our only hope

The thing about Calvinism is that man by himself is totally depraved. With Christ however, we are able to stray from that,.

@TheKJVberean Romans 7:13-25 1 John 2:1

I love you guys and i hope that you read the Word for what it is and not what we want it to be.

@jeditoe We constantly sin? Wrong. A true Christian will not constantly sin, when we become born again, we are a new creation. Romans 6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid! If you are one that is truely born again, yet constantly sinning then you are living a lukewarm life. Btw John Calvin was a heretic that brought the damnable doctrines which we now call calvinism, John Calvin unless he repented, is in hell right as we speak.

Advice for preachers:

Stop spreading lies; it's an evil thing to do - (especially to children.)

Despite the strangely (strange for a so-called "preacher", that is) inarticulate blurb of this blowhard, the best advice I could give preachers, as well as politicians, most journalists and most lawyers is to stop what you're doing immediately and start working towards an honest and proper career. Either that or just kill yourselves.

@jeditoe Jesus already took care of the sin issue. If you're still IN sin then you should probably get saved, anyone who is in Christ cannot remain IN sin (1 John 3:9). Go read Romans 6, 7, 8, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 5:24, 1 John 2:2, the sin issue has been dealt with. We cannot be sinners and saints at the same time, we are either one or the other. Thankfully, through Christ we have been transformed into saints. We no longer live FOR victory over sin, we live FROM it ;).

"For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander to myths."

My off the top of my head reaction to what he's saying is ......It's not a NEW gospel , it's not a fresh word or a secret unveiled ...It's time to get down off the stage and grab a few men and ask them to participate and then turn and grab 12 more and have them touch another 80 till the people in the church become the church and collectively make a huge impact .. asking one man to be mr. super human super dude and walking out unsatisfied week after week?? Get a vision and spread it
