Bible Note: Greetings John! You seem to be misunderstanding what Looking and myself have been saying about Rom. 6-8. No one made the claim that we are perfect. We simply made the claim, based upon the clear statement of Paul, that we are no longer slaves to sin. Did you sin in everything you did today? Of course not, you (as a mature believer in Christ) probably lived in obedience to Christ in most all that you did and thought today. Perhaps, you did sin in some way, but that was not the norm of your experience. That is all that we have been trying to say. We are no longer slaves to sin. We may, and probably will, yield to sin at times, but because of the work of Christ in us, we no longer have to sin. It is possible for us to obey Christ. We will not be perfect until glorification takes place. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
