 I'm not that familiar with David Lynn, although I've seen a few short clips of him on the street preaching, which by the way I give respect to that. There are a lot of people who won't do that. Is there some issues with sometimes his tact? Maybe the way it is his approach There could be there could be some times where he might go at people a little too Hard almost causing them to put up their defenses immediately. But then again, that's to be expected There's different styles of people are kind of gravitating to and so as long as someone is preaching Christ I don't have a whole lot of comps with that Are there some stylistic changes possibly possibly? But I saw a video the other day people have been asking me about Covering this person David Lynn. I don't know much about him. And so I really haven't I do know that there are a lot of People who don't really like them. I have no real opinion on the matter I also know the YouTube apparently doesn't like them because they had deleted the majority of his Videos on his channel. I think his channel's selective. I'm not sure what's going on there But I want to give attention to what he's saying here in this video He makes some errors in his in his statement And these are really some grammatical errors that cause a harmful understanding to theology What happens when a born-again Christian sins? Is it possible for a born-again Christian to sin should a born-again Christian sin? What happens when a born-again Christian sins? Whoever abides in him this Jesus Christ the Lord of glory What does it say in your Bible? Does not sin and Whoever has sin, what does it say here? Has not seen him neither knows him what a standard and it doesn't matter how eloquently someone speaks It doesn't matter how many years they have under their belt doesn't matter the titles They have over their head doesn't matter how many people follow them The evidence is the evidence the case is the case the word is the word The born-again believer Does not commit sin He that commits sin is of who for the devil sins from the beginning For this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil Verses 9 says whoever is born of God. What does it say here? Does not sin a real Christian does not sin a born-again Christian cannot sin We can't live in sin. We can't practice sin and Those who do sin Don't know Jesus are not in fellowship with Jesus that wrong teaching that well we have that body and it's You know, we're always gonna wrestle. We're always gonna battle. I Think the church each one of us At some points in life in our lives have been deceived by the doctrine of the enemy At first glance when you look at first John 3 It does look like what he's saying is accurate again The reason why I say this is a grammatical issue that affects a person's theology affects the way that they understand the scriptures is because that's clear here if you go to first John chapter 3 Let's start in verse 4. He says everyone now. I'm reading out of the ESV We'll see if this is the correct way to read this passage or not He may be reading out of the King James new King James, whatever, but I'm gonna show you how Really the ESV gets it right on this one says whoever makes a practice of sinning Now his says whoever sinning whoever makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness Sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sin and that in him There is no sin Look what he says and this is the past that he started off with no one who abides in him keeps on sinning Now he says the way he read it his translation. No one who abides in him Sins will see which one is correct. No one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him So to get a better understanding, let's go back to the passage and let's see what it actually says But this time will also bring in the Greek So in verse 4 says so everyone who makes a practice of sinning is that the way it ought to be says Pasha poyon tain ha martian, which is all of the ones who are doing or Making or in this case to practice who are practicing. This is a present active participle So that's why we add the practicing who makes an active or practicing sinning So it says all those that practices sinning Also practices lawlessness and so there is why we the ESV makes a statement that Everyone who practices sinning where someone else's verse might not have that statement, but then let's drop down to verse 6 no one who abides in him his version says sin the ESV says keeps on sinning Let's read the Greek and see if we see what it says. It says in the Greek Pahs that's all all the ones Pahs high and out to all of those in him may known all those who are abiding in him Luke How martini which is not sin so all those that are remaining in him Not sinning and this is a present active indicative So this is kind of you could add the the ing which is what this does if you feel like that's the context from this And we know it is because of verse 4 says no one who keeps on sinning This is why you can add the the sinning part because of the letter part Pahs high Hamartinone now this word Hamartinone It is the present active participle, which is why sinning which is why you add the keep on sinning So should we take it as someone who is keep keeps on sinning rather than no one sins? No one who abides in him keeps on sinning Well, we get that because of the verbiage out of this particular passage now It's not just this passage that kind of clarifies this and helps us understand although I think this passage makes it clear if you are in him You will not make a habit of practicing to sin John also tells us that anyone who says he does not say it is alive And if you do sin, we have an advocate. We are going to sin. Let's keep reading. Let's go down to verse Let's start in verse 7 little children Let no one deceive you whoever practices righteousness is righteousness as he is righteous Whoever makes a practice of sinning Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil. Remember this issue of practicing That's being here. That's being used here and so in verse eight It says high poem, which is the present active participle again, which is why we use this issue Practicing this ing is added to it. That's what you do. That's the lifestyle and anyone who has this particular lifestyle of sinning Who practices it? This is what you do. Well, the net that's a person who is not a believer now It doesn't even take a real deep dive to kind of finish. I don't think so But there are other passages that also bolster at this point if we think that a person who is a believer and Every believer according to first Corinthians chapter 12 verse 13 all believers have been baptized into this one spirit into the body And so if you have the Holy Spirit in you and you are believer You will not sin according to if you listen to what David is saying That's not true having the Holy Spirit in you and being a believer being as Genuine and as authentic of a Christian as you can possibly be being that still does not preclude you from One the ability to sin and then in actuality Practically sinning we all do sin. How do I know so? Well, let's just look at two People who would be called pillars of the faith to Apostles as a matter of fact Paul and Peter If we can see where they sin then if they sin It's a pretty good safe bet to say that we also sin Paul brings out this struggle this issue that he has with sin in Romans chapter 7. Let's go there Let's start in verse Let's run verse 14. He says for we know that the law is spiritual But I am of the flesh sold under sin for I do not understand my own actions And there's a problem that Paul is bringing up for I do not do what I want But I do the very thing that I hate. Well, what is he speaking out? It's obviously sin Now if I do what I do not want I agree with the law that it is good So now it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells within me So Paul's indicating that he still has sin that dwells in him Paul has sin that still dwells in him. You still have sin dwells in you. I do David does we all do And let's continue he says for I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out I'm sorry to start verse 18 says for I know that nothing good was in me That is in my flesh for I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out For I do not do the good. I want but the evil I do not want is what I keep doing And now he goes and and and and speaks about what actually is dwelling in him and what's his only redeeming quality That is the Holy Spirit now Paul has this issue Paul struggles with sin. He's not the only one So too does Peter here's an instance where Paul Confronts Peter why because of Peter sin in Galatians 2 verse 11 he says but when Cephas That's Peter came to Antioch. I oppose him to his face because he stood condemned for before certain men came Jane came from James. He was eating with the Gentiles But when they came he drew back and separate himself fearing the circumcision party in other words fearing the Jews Look what he says and the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him So here's Peter acting hypocritically meaning he's sinning and he's acting as though he didn't do anything And really he didn't but the way he acted and what he caused others to do was the issue and Paul confronts He says but when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel I said to Cephas before them all That if you Though a Jew live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How can you force the Gentiles to look like a Jew Peter? Was being hypocritical Which is sinful and so Paul calls out and the point is this Not that Peter's condemned not that Paul's condemned or by the way not that you are condemned If you've got if you are an actual believer You've got the spirit living in you you have an advocate and so to say that Christians do not sin Well, I'd like to show I like to see you show us that I like to see someone to show us What it looks like for a person to live the rest of his life without sinning am I advocating for a person to sin? No, obviously not. I'm not saying you have a license to go and sin I'm not saying go ahead and sin doesn't matter God is going to forgive you because if you have that attitude You have that attitude then what are you gonna do? You're gonna violate what John says that you are practicing sin And if you're practicing sin, then you're not his those who are his we don't practice sinning the issue of practicing sinning and then having an occasion to sin are two totally different things a Person loses their control their control says something they do something in sin And even know it sin, but it's not their lifestyle and they are remorseful How remorseful into and how soon the Bible doesn't tell us how soon a person needs to be remorseful We do know this that the spirit is in you and you are a believer you will be remorseful of sin That's what the definition of repentance is that your mind has turned your actions haven't totally turned But your mind has turned away from this desire to sin and it bothers you And so those people who don't have an issue with sin and that bother them those are the people that will have it have a Tendency or a lifestyle of practicing sin and that's who John is talking about. Amen
