Hi, Brother Jeff... It is a very old position to take. The one you are espousing is the more recent one. I'm simply stating that Scripture denies that a man can serve two masters. You argued the "and such were some of you" of 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. Note the past tense, buddy. How do you think those folks who ONCE WERE practicing drunkenness, adultery, deception, thievery, sorcery, and idolatry differed in behavior from the lost guys that ARE NOW practicing drunkenness, adultery, deception, thievery, sorcery, and idolatry? :-) The teaching of Christ and the apostles doesn't allow for one foot on the dock and the other in the boat. Every genuine conversion is accompanied by radical change. We never, ever suggest to lost people who are acting like lost people, talking like lost people, and sinning like lost people that they might be stealth Christians. Because, bro, there ain't no such critter. The only hope for anyone is through redemption in Jesus Christ. Those who willfully practice sin can be wonderfully and marvelously saved... and when they are saved, the willful practice of these kinds of sins will disappear. They will no longer be the "them" of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, but they will become the "you" of verse 11. In Him, Doc |

Greetings Doc! You wrote: "The only hope for anyone is through redemption in Jesus Christ. Those who willfully practice sin can be wonderfully and marvelously saved... and when they are saved, the willful practice of these kinds of sins will disappear. They will no longer be the "them" of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, but they will become the "you" of verse 11." Are you saying that it is possible for a Christian not to sin? If so, you are agreeing with what I previously said about Romans 6. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, Every road has a ditch to the left and the right. Sinless perfectionism, however, is somewhere way back yonder, after having made a bit more than five wrong turns. The fact that the Lord Himself mightily changes the lives of His own -- definitively, progressively, eternally, and completely in glory -- repudiates rather than rescues sinless perfectionism. The Lord's eternal purpose isn't to enthrone the fallen human will. The sovereignty of the human self determinism is a shaky foundation, theologically, philosophically, practically, and biblically. God won't share His glory. In Him, Doc |
