1 | Isn't Paul free of sin? | Rom 7:25 | Beja | 225928 | ||
Philip, I think Paul makes it very clear both in the stated chapter, and in Phillipians 3 that he is not free from sin in the sense that he no longer commits sin. However, in the sense that all those in Christ are free from the condemnation of sin, death, and the law, all of us in Christ are indeed free from sin. We are free from sin just not yet free of sin. Does not scripture say, "We all stumble in many ways"? (James 3:2). In Christ, Beja |

Hello Phillip, I'm not in agreement with your line of reasoning here. If I may be blunt: You're proof-texting to support your presupposition! You state, "It is possible to be free from/of sin?" Really, how so? Where does scripture explicitly teach this? 1 Cor 10:13 reads, "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." Notice it does not read 'no sin has overtaken you...'! The verse is not saying we're free from sin! Please re-read it. Temptation is the attempt to cause someone to sin- not sin itself! Your argument is falling short of sound exegesis! Perfectionism is nowhere taught in scripture! If there is anyone else revealed in scripture to be perfect-other than the Lord Jesus- I'm not aware of their mention! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Phillip, I'm not really trying to create a debate on this matter. That's not my intent. What exactly is the point you're trying to make? I understand what these scriptures say- I've been walking in the Lord for 25 years:-) Again, you're proof-texting! Just because these verses mention perfection, being blameless, or righteouness, etc. doesn't mean we take them and thereby develop a doctrine based upon selective use of meaning! Before this drags on, you really need to study and understand the context of each of these scriptures! Context is extremely important. To ignore it is to stray from sound hermenuetics. Words mean what the original author intended- in proper context. Does this make sense? Here would be a couple questions I'd pose to you: 1. Does the reader determine the meaning of a text or does the author? 2. How exactly have you arrived at your position. Who has influenced you? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
