I have lived a sinless perfect life i guess ever since the day I was reborn in 1981, it stayed for about 2-3 years, and then I gradually fell back in to sin. I don't know why, may because of my surrounding where I work as a seaman. But one thing for sure, that it was my best and most happy life having peace with God and my self.

Since then I couldn't maintain this sinless perfect life, there was always a reason that brought me back to a life for the flesh. But I believe that a sinless perfect life is truly possible, for I had experienced it.

I think Matthew 20:1-16 tell us that it is never too late for believers to reach this stage.

The only question that still bothered me, if there is some sinful habits that lead not to death (1 John 5:16), what God would do with this habits? Erased it from the mind of the saved and made them perfect? Also what is sin that lead not to death?

"If any man see his brother sin a sin [which is] not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it."

Sins of ignorance do not lead unto death. God "winks" at sins of ignorance. Jesus paid the penalty for sins committed in ignorance. Experienced Christians should help new believers discern sins of ignorance in light of the cross.

So you went 3 years without sinning but deny the Spirit of Prophecy? Are you sure you know what perfection is?

Perfection is living in the faith of Jesus, His merits covering you completely, which opens the storehouse of truth which would NEVER DENY THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY like you do on other websites.

Paul did not deny the Spirit of Prophecy, in fact he was a conduit for God. If you deny the Spirit of Prophecy and say that you do not sin, you are calling God a liar.

So is that what you are doing Mr Saptenno? Are you saying you were perfect for three years without the Spirit of Prophecy?

Thanks.

But a bit more clearer will you?

What kind of ignorance? Ignoring parents? ignoring the law? Ignoring God?

The word "ignore" does not mean ignorance. Sins of ignorance are sins people commit without realizing it. They have no idea it is a sin. For example, ignorantly breaking the Sabbath.

Brother Saptenno, since I am married to a woman from Indonesia I know how difficult it is to translate between the languages.

Ignorance means to be unaware. To ignore means to not pay attention to.

Ignorance translated to Indonesian is; ketidaktahuan, or kebodohan.

Ignore is; mengabaikan or abaikan.

OK, clear. Thanks.

Then those who were and are not a Sabbath keeper, for this special condition, will be granted pardon universally?

Very well pak, thanks.

Are you still using a dictionary, or in fact you speak and wrote indonesian language? Just curios.

So, sinning in 1 John 5:16, as you said is sinning of ignorance that lead not to death, is not the same sin as in James 4:17, which is doing not what we knew is good?

I think it is the same.

Are you really Indonesian?
