1 | Is sinless perfection possible on earth? | 1 John 1:8 | Beja | 228663 | ||
Biblicalman, In an admitedly long and complex thread, I think you've failed to follow my posts. No blame there, as they may not be worth following. I say this because you are proceeding as if you think I am suggesting Paul was perfect. This is not at all what I believe. I do not think Paul was sinless. And I do not think the point of Rom 7 is to describe a lost man. I think Paul battled sin like every other man. I have even argued as much in this thread from Philippians 3. I simply do not agree that Romans 7's point is whether it is describing lost or savedd. And this ofcourse debunks your entire theory that I am interpreting it due to "wanting to see Paul as perfect." I disagree with you because I think your tense shift arguement holds no water. See post 228649 if you want to see my thoughts on what Romans 7 is actually trying to say. Also, I urge you to have no hesitancy to reply to my posts due to me being "another teacher." I ask nobody to be a respector of persons, I only ask hesitency to reply if they haven't actually read what I have said. In Christ, Beja |

2 | Is sinless perfection possible on earth? | 1 John 1:8 | biblicalman | 228664 | ||
Beja In my post I said nothing about your views whatsoever. May I suggest that you are a little over-senstive? You have simply taken to heart a general comment which cannot be denied. Read it again and see if you can deny it. It says nothing about you. Now you are giving the casual viewer the impression that I accused you of something when it is not true. Well in my view Scripture teaches us to be a respecter of persons, 'honour to whom honour is due'. I am not on the forum to argue, or even to seek to win my case as against other teachers. I present what I see to be the truth and allow the reader to judge. Of course if you proclaimed heresy I would certainly citicise your posts. But I do not think it helpful to nitpick at someone else's posts simply because they present a different point of view (I am not suggesting you do so please don't take that personally). Each person's presentation should stand on its own. The reader can then judge for himself what to make of it. Some will be helped by one way of presenting it, others will be helped by another way. Each person is different. I will take into account what has been said, and if necessary point out what my view is, but not by making it personal. The only reason that I addressed you personally was because you wrote to me personally. But i presented a general argument, not an attack on your views. Best wishes |
