We aren't even aware of all our sin until coming to faith (Lev. 4:2, Jn 16:12). It comes to the surface like pond scum. Better keep short accounts with God (Heb. 10:26).
MUST WE CONFESS EVERY SIN TO BE FORGIVEN?

For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son. (John 5:22)
Mt 7:20, Jas 2:18 :sherlock:
If people are not aware of sin, then they are not to be held accountable. Think again, brother.
Your post makes no sense. Please explain.

When "Christ died on the cross for our sins" (Romans 4:25 KJV, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV) all of our sins were in the future!
1 John 1:9 KJV has nothing to do with confessing to a priest or otherwise. 1 John 1:9 KJV is about that day when a fountain is opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleaness.When you commit a sin (1 Jn 1:9), :listen: and you do (1 Jn 2:4) you'll need to bring it up one of these days :freak: to Almighty God. This is what we call a relationship.lain:
Zechariah 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
"That day" would be what many refer to as the second coming of the Lord. The Body of Christ has already been caught up to meet the Lord in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18). It's in one accord with what Peter preached in Acts 3:
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
Act 3:19-21 has nothing to do with the Body of Christ. Israel looks forward to the blotting out of their sins. That's what it says. For that is God's covenant unto them when He shall take awy their sins.
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Israel looks forward to their sins being blotted out while we in the Body of Christ look back to the cross. We have already received the atonement.
Romans 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
It has NOTHING to do with anyone today!
Bob rejects that God foreknew us (Romans 8:28-30 KJV). Find yourself a preacher who actually preaches the cross as the means by which we are saved (1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV) and trust the Lord believing IT to be saved.

At least you say we have to come to God through Jesus and admit we are sinners; and, at least you say we should confess a known sin. However, how do you get you don't have to know all your sins?

I can hardly believe you admit it.
I can hardly believe you admit it.
But you have to be careful. Jesus taught us how to avoid sin.
We better read His teachings so we can avoid sin.
No matter what you say, you're still mentally disturbed. You told TOL posters that you were placed in a mental institution by your church. You REALLY sound reliable. :rotfl:
Letsargue has also said that he puts people in Hell!! Now, that sounds sane huh?
Did the voices in your head tell you that?

I agree as well. I had this conversation with a friend the other day who believed they had to ask forgiveness for every sin to remain saved. The problem is for someone to claim this to be true and still be in right standing with God, they would have to be keenly aware, at all times, that everything that they say and did perfectly lined up with the standard of God. If sin is to be understood as "missing the mark" set before us by the Lord and His Word, then every time we do something contrary to His standard, we sin. I don't know about anyone else on here, but I figure more and more of this out every day. Constantly discovering new ways in which I need to change, different areas where I have fallen short. This means for over twenty-five years I was falling short in these areas and never asked forgiveness for it. Thank the Lord for His mercy and grace!
Colossians 1:20 KJV - Ephesians 1:7 KJV - Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV -
What do you believe defines God's standard for us today?
Isn't it time for you to get another fitting for a straight jacket? I hear they have them on sale.
That was written concerning the lost sheep of the House of Israel.
I'd have my sinuses checked if I were you? One MUST place their faith in Christ as their Savior before they become a child of God. You must be a Calvinist?
Beware of Letsargue folks. He's not right in the head. He has said that he can't wait to see us in Hell!! He thinks he's able to place us there. Listen to him at your own risk.
