Subject: Can we live life without sinning? |
Bible Note: Greetings John! All I can say is, 'Wow, where did that come from?' Allow me to address a couple of points my friend! 1) You said that I go much deeper in my posts, but all I have said over and over again is exactly what Paul said, 'we are no longer slaves to sin'. You seem to be reading much more into what I have said. 2) What I thought you had missed is that I never said that Christians were perfect. Yet, you kept using that word. 3) Where did I say that we can do more for us than God can do for us? In fact, in my last post, I said, "But, we are truly free to live holy lives through the grace of Christ." It is only through the Holy Spirit that we are able to live holy lives (see Rom. 8 and Gal. 5). 4) I wasn't aware that I had aligned myself with anyone. :-) Looking was the first one who had responded to me who actually dealt with what Paul said in Rom. 6, so I commended him for a good post. 5) Where did I say that I was better than anyone my friend? Frankly, I don't understand the emotion that is coming from you my friend. All I have said is exactly what Scripture says, 'we are no longer slaves to sin.' All that I have taught, whether here on the forum or in our local congregation is that we are called to live holy lives, and that God in His grace sanctifies us and enables us to live holy. 6) Finney and the emerging church were never mentioned by me. :-( Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
