    Pap,

    NOT according to the scriptures. Sins are washed away through Baptism. Have a great week.

    Thanks,

    Yes in the sense that faith will cause you to follow through to get your sins removed. Look at Hebrews 9:22. Blood is needed and it is by Jesus' blood (Hebrews 10:1-12, Revelation 1:5) that your sins are removed and Romans 6:3-13 tells how you come into contact with that blood through His death as does Galatians 3:27. This is why in Acts 2:38 and 22:16 says that baptism removes or forgives sins. This then makes since with 1 Peter 3:20-21.

    Faith in the blood of Christ will take away the penalty of sin. Faith has to be in something. Faith in faith is not what we need to keep our eyes on but in the blood.

    No. . . . sin is self created. . . a sin you may believe to be a sin may be trivial to another. . . evilness can not be taken away. . . you should follow your own conscience and be aware of other people and not cause negativity as that is energy that can not be taken away

    I will give an example... You stole a bicycle off a little boy, now you confess your sin and your faith in your eyes has washed the sin, the little boy has no bicycle still, no matter what faith you have. . . the energy of that sin is still around regardless of your faith

    What can take away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! You can have faith that will move mountains, however nothing but the atonement sacrifice made at Calvary will take away sin for a repentant sinner.

    Faith in what? You can have faith in yourself,does yourself take away your sins? No. YOu can have faith in money, does money remove sin? No. The only thing you can have faith in that will remove your sins is Jesus Christ the One that died for everyones sin!! Go here for more info!! God Bless you!!

    No. Only the target of the faith. That is, the blood of Jesus Christ.

    You can have faith that a chair can hold you up when you sit in it. However, this will have nothing to do with your positional state before God.

    Revelation 1:5

    Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood.

    No- faith in and of itself does not take away sin- the person that you put your faith in can- and if you put your faith in Jesus Christ- He will take away your sins- because He died to save us.

    Jesus finished work on the cross takes away sin. Faith connects us to that work.

    Jesus takes away sin. Faith is believing that Jesus is you Savior, then you pray in His name to God to forgive your sin.
