Christians can not forgive what God will not as they forgive in the power and name
of Jesus Christ, called the ‘person of Christ’ (2 Cor 2:10-11), in accordance with
the Prime Principle.

Although Christians are absolutely forgiven all of the time they can still ask for
forgiveness (Mat 6:12, Luke 11:4, 1 John 1:8-10). Even though it is ‘unnecessary’
in one sense to do so, as we are already forgiven, we must not let our logic dictate
our choices. By asking for what we already have we safeguard ourselves against
the danger of taking our forgiveness for granted (1 Cor 10:12) and thereby risking
loss of salvation which is the unforgivable sin (2 Thes 2:4, Heb 6:4).

Those under the Law should, in accordance with these commandments and subject
to these principles, forgive everything forgivable in all time and space (Mat 6:12,
9:5, Luke 10:33, 11:4).

A Christian can commit many sins in many ways against the two great
commandments (Rom 7:25, 1 John 1:8) whilst he remains a Christian, except the
unforgivable sin of loss of Salvation (Mat 18:14, Mark 13:14, 2 Thes 2:4, Heb
6:4). This does not allow a process whereby Christians can ignore sin (Rom 6:1-7)
nor does this knowledge even encourage such an approach in practise (Gal 2:20-
21). Sins committed, past, present and future are irrelevant to the Christian’s state
of perfect righteousness (Gal 2:16-21). Christians can, for example and not that

they should of course, cease to treat God or Christ as their first love (Rev 2:4) and
yet still have Christ as their Saviour (Rev 2:5) before they might lose their
Salvation (Rev 2:5). Despite this Jesus does remain their Saviour as they are shown
to be saved (Rev 2:1). These Christians, members of the church of Ephesus, were
being assessed by Christ through a report delivered by Christ to the angel
responsible for that church (Rev 2:1). The Word principle of multiple and distinct
subjects being addressed is thus exemplified (Rev 2:1, 8, 10). [Angels are held
responsible partially (Rev 2:16) for their church (Rev 3:15) and there is joint
participation between them and their church (Rev 3:17) although their status as
angels is unaffected (Rev 3:1).]

This shows that unsaved angels, still as angels, can and do sin (Rev 2:4, 14, 16, 20,
3: 2, 15, 17-19). Angels that sinned to the extent that they became devil spirits did
so in spirit (Psalm 104:4, Heb 1:7, Jude 6, Rev 12:4). As for unsaved angels, not
devil spirits, they sin (unlike Christians who do not sin in their spirit as long as
they are Christian (1 John 3:9) meaning that they are as a default not yet Christians
(1 John 3:9), not yet born again in spirit as they need to be (Col 1:20), which estate
is given of God in His timing (1 Pet 1:12). Some angels are however saved (Rev
