Subject: Can someone sin after salvation ? |
Bible Note: jb8910. Dear Sir or Madam: Being, as I am, aware that you are new to the forum, this being your fourth posting, may I welcome you and at the same time gently tutor you on the merits of using appropriate scriptural passages in answer to scriptural questions. The reason for this is perfectly obvious if one thinks about it. You see, when someone asks a question to which the Bible has a clear answer, in all fairness to God's word, we should let it speak to the question. In that way the questioner has the advantage of reading what God said and not what man said. Does that sound reasonable? In none of your four posts is there any Scripture reference. Especially on your answer to which this note is appended, would you consider please preparing a supplementary answer, using a passage or two from the Bible that would appear to corroborate your views? Somehow its a little bit worrisome to me what you said about "the only difference" thing, the sinning before and after salvation, and ... but I will stop here and let you clear all this up, using biblical texts, if you would kindly be disposed to do so. Please don't feel that this response to your answer is meant as a slap on the wrist or to be unkind or mean-spirited toward you. What I have said about backing up our answers to scripturally-oriented questions with Scripture applies as much to me and to everyone else who uses this forum as it does to you. Cordially, --Hank |
