What is
sin and the standard against sin? - Sin is the thought
or deed we commit that is contrary to the teaching of
the Bible. The standard that is used to judge sin is
the Holy Inspired Word of God, The Bible.
Who do we commit sin
against? - We sin against God and others (I Cor.
8:12).
The results of our
sins affect ourselves and others. We sin upward
against God, outward against others, inward against
ourselves and downward against our descendants.
How do we sin
against God? - We sin against God by disobedience to
the commandments and precepts of the whole Bible.
How do we sin
against others? - We sin against others by doing
something to them that is contrary to the Bible.
First, see what is a sin in the Bible. Second, that
would be a sin against others.
For example, the
spreading of lies about another person is sin. We are
telling lies which is a sin against God and it is
hurting another person.
How do we sin
against ourselves? - He that commits fornication sins
against his own body . Every other sin that man does
is outside of the body except for fornication (I Cor.
6:18).
How do we sin
against our descendants? - We sin against our
descendants either directly or indirectly. We can
directly sin against our children or indirectly
against our children's children to the tenth
generation.
For example, we
conceive a bastard. It is a sin against that child,
our other children and our children's children to the
tenth generation. The curse, created by conceiving a
bastard, will bring problems and grief: primarily
alienation from the church and conceiving bastards
generation after generation.
Who forgives sins? -
Only God can forgive sin by the shed Blood of JESUS
CHRIST.
We can remit (send
away) sins and retain (hold fast) sins (John 20:23).
What you bind on earth is bound in Heaven; what you
loose on earth is loosed in Heaven (Matt. 16:19;
18:18). Other passages are judging others (I Cor.
5:1-5), forgive in the sight of CHRIST (II Cor. 2:10)
and CHRIST speaking in me (II Cor. 13:3).
Who confesses sins?
- We confess our sins and the sins of our ancestors,
and humble ourselves before God (Lev. 26:40-42).
Earline has a testimony about how God healed her heart
after she dealt with her Indian ancestors. God gave
her a series of steps about how to counteract the sins
of her ancestors who worshipped demons.
The ideal is to have
our descendants forgive their ancestors (especially
their parents). The most sure method is for the person
to forgive those who have hurt them or committed acts
which affect their lives.
What do we do after
our sins are forgiven? - First, we get our sins are
forgiven and we forgive others for sinning against us.
We then have the right to break curses, soul ties and
cast out the demons.
Second, we break the
curses on ourselves, our mate if he or she is
affected, and our descendants. We can break curses
placed on us by others, curses placed on us by
ourselves, and curses placed on our descendants by
ourselves.
Third, we break soul
ties brought about by sexual sin and witchcraft.
Fourth, we cast out
the demons that came in through sin and curses.
