The Visual Bible - The Gospel of John (2003 Full Movie HD)

This movie is wonderful. It follows the scriptures. Every time I watch this movie, I cry. Oh Jesus Messiah, how can it be that you would die for our sins and make the way for us to become the Sons and daughters of God?

Blessed be your name Oh God!!!

THE BIBLE REFUTES CHARLES STANLEY'S "ETERNAL SECURITY" TEACHING!

Brothers and sisters, Charles Stanley (and his son) are false teachers. It is amazing to me when a teacher such as Charles Stanley writes a book "Eternal Security" with likely a hundred or more pages. It has to be filled with his opinions! And it makes him money!! Do not trust man! Read your bible.

I do not know the man below, but he is "right on" about the scriptures regarding eternal security.  Do not trust any man. Charles Stanley also believes a Christian can live in sexual perversion and only lose his reward! That is directly contrary to what the Apostle Paul taught in 1 Corinthians:

• Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 

Charles and Andy Stanley preach a repentance free gospel, which is not the gospel of the scriptures. The Stanley's deceive countless thousands of people by telling them to come to God (without turning from and obeying the true gospel). They are just two of thousands of teachers who are doing the same thing. They are filling the churches with those who did not repent and are not born again, but weekly have their false teachers tell them they are. Some may turn from false teaching, however most will eventually turn on the true believers, when persecution comes.

This is a very sobering teaching. One which I was taught was not correct. The scriptures do not teach that a person who has trusted Christ cannot depart from the faith. Jesus made this very clear in Ezekiel 18.



You will see the same False Teachings from Andy Stanley. Please see my blog posted on 2/23/14 Eastern Daylight Time. It is titled: Andy Stanley, False Teacher. Blood on his Hands.

False Teacher Charles Stanley, Deceives Sinners. This Brings Blood on One's Hands

Note: You will see the same False Teachings from Andy Stanley. Please also see my blog posted on 2/23/14 Eastern Daylight Time. It is titled: Andy Stanley, False Teacher. Blood on his Hands. 

Brothers and sisters, I often listen to a prerecorded radio broadcast on the internet. During a break, Charles Stanley speaks. Yesterday it was about homosexuality. Something did not set right with my spirit. I felt compelled to type out the script and after I did so, I felt I should address the error. This is something I greatly dislike doing. It is very time consuming and I feel like I am putting a drop of water on a house fire. 

As I warn regularly, I would like for you to see the danger in trusting teachers. I was very disappointed in Charles Stanley's message. You will see how easy it is to listen to a teacher without realizing he is not teaching sound doctrine, but adding his own words which contradict the scriptures. I was shocked at how he added to the scriptures. I am not condemning him, but I strive to be a Berean and Charles Stanley cannot be trusted with the Truth.

Black words are Charles Stanley (exactly).

Blue words are from myself. Warren. 
Red scriptures are those quoted by both Charles Stanley and myself, Warren.

Speaking of a man who emailed him with a question about homosexuality, Charles Stanley says:

(Charles) “He states that he is a gay Christian and he does not believe it’s a sin. 

(Warren) As you read on do not forget the man Charles Stanley is addressing, is living in sin. he is practicing sin. At least the man believes there is sin. In his response, Charles Stanley does not mention sin, repentance, evil or judgment)  

(Charles) Now what is he doing? He’s going by his beliefs and his feelings. And so we have to ask is this, are you going to be governed by what you feel, or by what the Word of God says? 

(Warren) He is assuming this practicing homosexual is a Christian!! 

(Charles) What does God say about this? And in Romans chapter 1, here is what he says - In verse 26 here’s one of the strongest things God says:

• (Charles) For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions for their women exchanged the natural  function for that which is unnatural. And in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another. Men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

(Charles) Now, if you’ll go to 1 Timothy for example, and the 1st chapter, listen to what the scripture says, because we’re talking about what God thinks, not what somebody else thinks. What does God say about this?  Now, I want you to see what the traveling companions of homosexuality is like. 

(Warren) Because he does not believe the scriptures as written, he is reasoning with a lost man who is not convicted of his sin. But Charles Stanley has already addressed the man as a Christian, which could leave the man "two fold the child of hell" as he is lost, but Charles Stanley addresses him as being saved, so he has no need of a savior now! 

• (Warren) Before we go to verse 10 which he quotes, we see he ignored verse 9 in 1st Timothy -   "9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man slayers."   Charles Stanley is telling this ungodly, practicing homosexual he is a Christian!

(Charles) And here’s what he (God) says:"10 And immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching according to this glorious gospel." 

(Charles) Put’s it all together. Then I want you to go if you will to 1 Corinthians the 6th chapter and here is the question, in the 9^th verse, 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither fornicators or adulterers, nor effeminate nor homosexuals, nor thieves nor the covetous nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God. 

(Warren) But Charles Stanley does not quote 1 Corinthians 6:11  11And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

(Charles) It is very, very clear - God does not agree with the lifestyle of a homosexual,

(Warren) Where did he get lifestyle? He is redefining sin as lifestyle!! He is "seeker sensitive" and  will not tell this man the truth! This man is headed for hell as all are who practice sexual sins! 

(Charles) because God gives the power not only to save us, but he empowers us to live a Godly life. So when he says this in 1 Corinthians chapter 6 to answer your question “can a person who is a homosexual go to heaven?” If they have been saved by the grace of God, yes. 

(Warren) What? We did not read that in the verses quoted. Grace does not cover sin! We read they will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 

(Warren) The rest of this has nothing to do with the scriptures quoted. Charles Stanley then very quickly, like Osteen, adds his own words which are pure confusion and non scriptural words. Man's opinions! 

(Charles) But as he says they forsake, What?? that is they lose their reward, What? they do not inherit what God intends. What? Not only that there is no peace, no joy, no happiness, no matter what they say. What? And medical research has proven, What?? absolutely, unquestionably that a person can be free from homosexuality if they want to. 

(Warren) Who cares about what medical research says about sin? What happened to God? It appears Charles looks to medical research as Christ words are not enough!!!

(Charles) For example, it comes down to a matter of abstaining from immoral activity. 

(Warren) What about salvation?!! Homosexuals and all who are committing sexual sins are under the power of sin and need a savior who delivers from sin. 

(Charles) just like any other single person would. What??A person’s single, they have the privilege and the power by the Holy Spirit, What? 

(Warren) Who is he to say they have the Holy Spirit while continuing in homosexuality when Jesus says they will be in a lake that burns with fire and sulfur, and the 2nd death?  

(Charles) to abstain from immoral activities. It is a choice a person makes.  

(Warren) Without repentance (turning from sin) and obedience and the new birth, the lost have no power over sin but are slaves to sin. We are told by Jesus "unless a man is born from above he cannot see the Kingdom of God. John 3:3


(Warren) Brothers and sisters, the American churches are in much worse condition than we think. The Watchmen are not warning. They themselves are deceived and give people assurance of salvation while they practice things the scriptures tell us keep people out of the Kingdom of God. Does it make sense now why his church is so large? Ear tickling!

Per Jesus the Messiah's words in Revelation 21: 7The person who conquers will inherit these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. 8But people who are cowardly, unfaithful, detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will find themselvesb in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

Note: After writing this and looking more closely at what Charles Stanley said and what Jesus said above, I believe Charles Stanley is clearly a false teacher. I do not pass judgment on his salvation, but we are commanded by Jesus to 24"Stop judging by appearances, but judge with righteous judgment!” . 

Jesus loves this homosexual as he loves the world, but Jesus is holy and a righteous judge. If this homosexual and each of us do not turn from our sin and obey the gospel, we will perish. Charles Stanley needs to repent or he will have blood on his hands for deceiving people. Until then, this man cannot be trusted. I cried over this while in prayer this morning. 

2 Timothy 3 GWT

1You must understand this: In the last days there will be violent periods of time. 2People will be selfish and love money. They will brag, be arrogant, and use abusive language. They will curse their parents, show no gratitude, have no respect for what is holy, 3and lack normal affection for their families. They will refuse to make peace with anyone. They will be slanderous, lack self-control, be brutal, and have no love for what is good. 4They will be traitors. They will be reckless and conceited. They will love pleasure rather than God. 5They will appear to have a godly life, but they will not let its power change them. Stay away from such people. 6Some of these men go into homes and mislead weak-minded women who are burdened with sins and led by all kinds of desires. 7These women are always studying but are never able to recognize the truth. 8As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men oppose the truth. Their minds are corrupt, and the faith they teach is counterfeit. 9Certainly, they won't get very far. Like the stupidity of Jannes and Jambres, their stupidity will be plain to everyone.

10But you know all about my teachings, my way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, and my endurance. 11You also know about the kind of persecutions and sufferings which happened to me in the cities of Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions, and the Lord rescued me from all of them. 

Why are you listening to teachers when you have the Word of God, the Bible?

12Those who try to live a godly life because they believe in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13But evil people and phony preachers will go from bad to worse as they mislead people and are themselves misled. 

14However, continue in what you have learned and found to be true. You know who your teachers were. 15From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures. They have the power to give you wisdom so that you can be saved through faith in Christ Jesus. 16Every Scripture passage is inspired by God. All of them are useful for teaching, pointing out errors, correcting people, and training them for a life that has God's approval. 17They equip God's servants so that they are completely prepared to do good things.

Administration: We Can Force You to Cooperate in Killing Your Grandchild

March 26, 2014 - 4:53 AM

Question: Does the Obama administration claim the right to force Americans to cooperate in killing their own grandchildren? Answer: Yes.

On the face of it, this seems like an outrageous claim. But it is true. The outrage is what the government is demanding Americans do.

The Affordable Care Act — aka Obamacare — includes a "requirement to maintain minimum essential coverage." The main part of this "requirement" says: "An applicable individual shall for each month beginning after 2013 ensure that the individual, and any dependent of the individual who is an applicable individual, is covered under minimum essential coverage for such month."

The IRS has explained: "The provision applies to individuals of all ages, including children. The adult or married couple who can claim a child or another individual as a dependent for federal income tax purposes is responsible for making the [penalty] payment if the dependent does not have coverage or an exemption."

Bottom line: Parents "shall" buy health insurance for their dependent children.

The Affordable Care Act says: "A group health plan and a health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage shall at a minimum provide coverage for and shall not impose any cost sharing requirements for ... with respect to women, such additional preventive care and screenings ... as provided for in comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration."

These comprehensive guidelines mandate copay free coverage for: "All Food and Drug Administration approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity." The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says women attain reproductive capacity between ages 12 and 13.

Bottom line: Parents must buy health insurance for their dependent children that, without copay, covers all FDA-approved "contraceptive methods" for all women who can conceive a child.

When the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit issued its opinion in the case of Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby, it said: "Four of the twenty [FDA-]approved methods — two types of intrauterine devices (IUDs) and the emergency contraceptives commonly known as Plan B and Ella — can function by preventing the implantation of a fertilized egg."

The court said in a footnote: "Both the government and the medical amici supporting the government concede that at least some of the contraceptive methods to which the plaintiffs object have the potential to prevent uterine implantation."

When the Obama administration petitioned the Supreme Court to take up the Hobby Lobby case, it said in its petition: "An IUD is a device inserted into the uterus by a physician that ... 'may prevent the egg from attaching (implanting) in the womb (uterus).'"

"Plan B, an emergency contraceptive," the administration told the court, "is a pill that ... may also work ... by preventing attachment (implantation) to the womb (uterus).'"

"Ella, another emergency contraceptive," the administration told the court, "'may also work by changing the lining of the womb (uterus) that may prevent attachment (implantation).'"

What is a "fertilized egg?"

The federal government's National Library of Medicine — a part of the National Institutes of Health — maintains a Web page entitled, "Fetal Health and Development." It links to a publication of The American Academy of Family Physicians, which is entitled, "Your Baby's Development: The First Trimester."

The first question on this fact sheet: "When does pregnancy begin?" The answer: "Pregnancy begins when a sperm fertilizes a woman's egg."

The second question: "What happens after the sperm fertilizes the egg?" The answer: "After conception, your baby begins a period of dramatic change known as the embryonic stage."

In 2012, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued an opinion advocating IUD or hormonal implants for teenage girls.

"In 21 states, all teenagers can get contraceptives without parental permission, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks laws affecting women's health," said an Associated Press report on the ACOG opinion.

"The IUD and implant cost hundreds of dollars," said the report. "The new health reform law requires health insurance plans to cover birth control without copayments."

And it requires moms and dads to buy insurance for their own teenage children that will pay to kill a fertilized egg — or, as The American Academy of Family Physicians calls it, a baby.

Do You Say The Way of Jesus Is Unfair?

Brothers and sisters, I am continuing into Romans 8. When you read this, it seems confusing. There is the "Good News" and then there is the "Warning". This has confused many people, myself being one! One of the problems many of us have is incorrect teachings from the Reformation, which created "Dispensations" in order to contradict Rome's false teaching about salvation. The result of the Reformers false teaching that we cannot fall away from Christ, also did away with our clear responsibility!!!

You cannot understand Romans, unless you know what Jesus said in Ezekiel 18 (also in other chapters and other writers). Remember, there has been and still is ONE gospel, ONE salvation, ONE way to GOD. That is the shed blood of Jesus the Messiah who has been revealed!

Jesus warns and explains salvation in Ezekiel 18. Please note the phrase "will not die" is eternal death. We all die physically, but those who do not repent and follow Jesus, will die eternally in flames. Jesus repeats his words several times in Ezekiel, adding great importance to what He said!! Blessed be the name of Jesu the Messiah! I fear the lover of my soul and do not want to depart from him. He had mercy on me and I want to finish the race. I want to please Him. He is the source of True Love and every good thing! Revelation also tells the churches we will be judged based upon what we have done. Believers can still chose to live by their corrupt natures, which lead to death (eternal death).

Ezekiel 18 GWT

21"But suppose a wicked person turns away from all the sins that he has done. He obeys all my laws and does what is fair and right. He will certainly live. He will not die. 22All the rebellious things that he did will not be remembered. He will live because of the right things that he did. 23I don't want wicked people to die." declares the Almighty LORD. "I want them to turn from their evil ways and live.

24"But suppose a righteous person turns away from doing right and he does evil things. He does all the disgusting things that the wicked person did. Will he live? All the right things that he has done will not be remembered because of his unfaithfulness and because of his sin. He will die because of them. 25"But you say, 'The Lord's way is unfair.' Listen, nation of Israel, isn't my way fair? Isn't it your ways that are unfair? 26When a righteous person turns away from doing right and does evil things, he will die. He will die because of the evil things he has done. 27When a wicked person turns away from the wicked things that he has done and does what is fair and right, he will live.28He realized what he was doing and turned away from all the rebellious things that he had done. He will certainly live. He will not die.29"But the nation of Israel says, 'The Lord's way is unfair.' Isn't my way fair, nation of Israel? Isn't it your ways that are unfair?

30"That is why I will judge each of you by what you have done, people of Israel," declares the Almighty LORD. "Change the way you think and act. Turn away from all the rebellious things that you have done so that you will not fall into sin. 31Stop all the rebellious things that you are doing. Get yourselves new hearts and new spirits. Why do you want to die, nation of Israel? 32I don't want anyone to die," declares the Almighty LORD. "Change the way you think and act!"

Romans 8 GWT

Good News

1So those who are believers in Christ Jesus can no longer be condemned. 2The standards of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Jesus, have set you free from the standards of sin and death. 3It is impossible to do what God's standards demand because of the weakness our human nature has. But God sent his Son to have a human nature as sinners have and to pay for sin. That way God condemned sin in our corrupt nature. 4Therefore, we, who do not live by our corrupt nature but by our spiritual nature, are able to meet God's standards. 5Those who live by the corrupt nature have the corrupt nature's attitude. But those who live by the spiritual nature have the spiritual nature's attitude. 6The corrupt nature's attitude leads to death. But the spiritual nature's attitude leads to life and peace. 7This is so because the corrupt nature has a hostile attitude toward God. It refuses to place itself under the authority of God's standards because it can't. 8Those who are under the control of the corrupt nature can't please God.

Warning

9But if God's Spirit lives in you, you are under the control of your spiritual nature, not your corrupt nature. Whoever doesn't have the Spirit of Christ doesn't belong to him. 10However, if Christ lives in you, your bodies are dead because of sin, but your spirits are alive because you have God's approval. 11Does the Spirit of the one who brought Jesus back to life live in you? Then the one who brought Christ back to life will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.

12So, brothers and sisters, we have no obligation to live the way our corrupt nature wants us to live. 13If you live by your corrupt nature, you are going to die. But if you use your spiritual nature to put to death the evil activities of the body, you will live. 14Certainly, all who are guided by God's Spirit are God's children. 15You haven't received the spirit of slaves that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the spirit of God's adopted children by which we call out, "Abba! Father!" 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17If we are his children, we are also God's heirs. If we share in Christ's suffering in order to share his glory, we are heirs together with him.

Do not be deceived. You cannot serve Jesus and the devil. Satan lied to Adam and Eve and told them they could disobey God and not die. Do not follow in their footsteps. Jesus makes it very clear to us in Ezekiel and Romans that believers have a free will and can lose their salvation. In the New Testament we are given lists, in more than one place, of sins which keep those who practice them out of the kingdom of God. One example is from Jesus in the Revelation 21 GWT:

• 8But cowardly, unfaithful, and detestable people, murderers, sexual sinners, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will find themselves in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

The Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 11 GWT:

• 21If God didn't spare the natural branches, he won't spare you, either. 22Look at how kind and how severe God can be. He is severe to those who fell, but kind to you if you continue to hold on to his kindness. Otherwise, you, too, will be cut off [from the tree]. 

Repent and follow Jesus in obedience while there is time. Do not test God and be like Adam and Eve. They were created to live forever, but they believed the lie from Satan that they would not die [spiritually]. Please do not mock God and test him with your willful, continued sinning. Turn from your sins to Jesus. If you sin, confess it, turn from it and get back on track obeying God.  

Genesis 2 GWT

16The LORD God commanded the man. He said, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden. 17But you must never eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because when you eat from it, you will certainly die." (spiritually)

Genesis 3 GWT

4"You certainly won't die!" the snake told the woman. 5God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be opened. You'll be like God, knowing good and evil." 6The woman saw that the tree had fruit that was good to eat, nice to look at, and desirable for making someone wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Romans 13 GWT
11You know the times [in which we are living]. It's time for you to wake up. Our salvation is nearer now than when we first became believers. 12The night is almost over, and the day is near. So we should get rid of the things that belong to the dark and take up the weapons that belong to the light. 13We should live decently, as people who live in the light of day. Wild parties, drunkenness, sexual immorality, promiscuity, rivalry, and jealousy cannot be part of our lives. 14Instead, live like the Lord Jesus Christ did, and forget about satisfying the desires of your sinful nature.

1 Timothy 4 GWT

1The Spirit says clearly that in later times some believers will desert the Christian faith. They will follow spirits that deceive, and they will believe the teachings of demons. 2These people will speak lies disguised as truth. Their consciences have been scarred as if branded by a red-hot iron. 3They will try to stop others from getting married and from eating certain foods. God created food to be received with prayers of thanks by those who believe and know the truth. 4Everything God created is good. Nothing should be rejected if it is received with prayers of thanks. 5The word of God and prayer set it apart as holy.

6You are a good servant of Christ Jesus when you point these things out to our brothers and sisters. Then you will be nourished by the words of the Christian faith and the excellent teachings which you have followed closely. 

Jacob Prasch - Once Saved, Always Saved?

From about 9 or 10 years of age, my family was introduced to Calvinism. In my twenties I spent much time studying Calvinism and embraced it as true. It would only be after I became a prodigal for about 3-4 years and returned to the Father, that I would see the great error of that religion. I believe God is Sovereign. I rejoice in that!! But the scriptures do not support Calvinism.



Only the blood of Jesus cleanses us from sin. We cannot do anything to earn this. Jesus paid the price for sin. Jesus speaks clearly in Ezekiel 18, we are each responsible to turn from sin and obey.

Are You Continuing to Sin? That is Unthinkable!

Have you ever surrendered your life to Jesus the Messiah? Are you obeying Him? Have you backslided, turned away from God, and if you died would be spit out of God's mouth as the scriptures warn?  Are you playing with sin and falling away from God?

Are you trusting in a prayer you said to God and yet do not obey Him? We are in a time of great apostasy and falling away. Christians are the only ones who can fall away. They can believe, but fall away. You cannot fall from a place you have never been. I write this in love. I want to see you in Heaven.

Romans 6 GWT

1What should we say then? Should we continue to sin so that God's kindness will increase? 2That's unthinkable! As far as sin is concerned, we have died. So how can we still live under sin's influence? 3Don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4When we were baptized into his death, we were placed into the tomb with him. As Christ was brought back from death to life by the glorious power of the Father, so we, too, should live a new kind of life. 5If we've become united with him in a death like his, certainly we will also be united with him when we come back to life as he did. 6We know that the person we used to be was crucified with him to put an end to sin in our bodies. Because of this we are no longer slaves to sin. 7The person who has died has been freed from sin.

8If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9We know that Christ, who was brought back to life, will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. 10When he died, he died once and for all to sin's power. But now he lives, and he lives for God. 11So consider yourselves dead to sin's power but living for God in the power Christ Jesus gives you.

12Therefore, never let sin rule your physical body so that you obey its desires. 13Never offer any part of your body to sin's power. No part of your body should ever be used to do any ungodly thing. Instead, offer yourselves to God as people who have come back from death and are now alive. Offer all the parts of your body to God. Use them to do everything that God approves of. 14Certainly, sin shouldn't have power over you because you're not controlled by laws, but by God's favor.

15Then what is the implication? Should we sin because we are not controlled by laws but by God's favor? That's unthinkable! 16Don't you know that if you offer to be someone's slave, you must obey that master? Either your master is sin, or your master is obedience. Letting sin be your master leads to death. Letting obedience be your master leads to God's approval. 17You were slaves to sin. But I thank God that you have become wholeheartedly obedient to the teachings which you were given. 18Freed from sin, you were made slaves who do what God approves of. 19I'm speaking in a human way because of the weakness of your corrupt nature. Clearly, you once offered all the parts of your body as slaves to sexual perversion and disobedience. This led you to live disobedient lives. Now, in the same way, offer all the parts of your body as slaves that do what God approves of. This leads you to live holy lives.

20When you were slaves to sin, you were free from doing what God approves of. 21What did you gain by doing those things? You're ashamed of what you used to do because it ended in death. 22Now you have been freed from sin and have become God's slaves. This results in a holy life and, finally, in everlasting life. 23The payment for sin is death, but the gift that God freely gives is everlasting life found in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Friends, we will still be tempted and our thoughts not always be what we want. We will not get rid of our old nature until we die or Christ comes for us, but the new birth Christ gives, gives the power to resist sin and we are to do just that!. We are to stop sinning. If we do sin, we must confess it and get back on track. If we are living a pattern of serving sin, we are serving the devil.
