There are posters on here who claim they don't practice willful sin. I never understood the difference but in reading a couple posts here I think I finally understand.
The bible says anyone who claims to be without sin is a liar. But to claim to be a sinner but never to willfully sin is truthful. (At least in the minds of those who claim this... ) So it really has nothing to do with any sinful act itself, but rather its about not being a liar but saying you are sinless in a way to admit sin and deny it at the same time.

Enlighten me... I can't think of a sin that isn't willful or premeditated.
According to the bible:
You must be a sinner.. Otherwise you are a liar.
You cannot enter heaven as a sinner, so you claim you don't willfully sin.
What other explanation is there???

Please try to remember, just because you personally don't understand something doesn't mean it's not real or valid
I would suggest you study the doctrine of original sin.
THAT is how we are all sinners even when we haven't "willfully" sinned.

Kinda deceptive IMO.
Did I get it right?
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Wilfull sin is the same as " being willing to sin."
The word wilful is hekousios an adverb and a derivative of hekon which means voluntarily:--wilfully, willingly.

No, it does not sound like you got it right, but if you post the claims you refer to, we can take a look.

Good effort, but I believe our OP seeks something besides enlighenment
