Bible Note: Dear Meridith, Thank you for your kind reply. All is well with me and mine, and I hope for you and yours as well! 1 John 3 makes it absolutely clear that, in one sense of the word, "sinner" refers to the unregenerate. Even though (in the 1 John 1:8 sense) I consider myself to be a sinner, I do not mean it as "hamartolos", which would indicate that I was still under the dominion of sin and therefore, unsaved! My main concern is for those who may misunderstand the distinction, because they are unaware that there is a distinction in the first place. God Bless Meredith, John |
