Subject: Is iT possible to live without sin? |
Bible Note: Hi Joe, Sorry its taken me so long. The only safeguards that we have when reading the Bible are the two witnesses, the word and the spirit which God provides and they must agree. Verse 10 I believe is the verse in question and is a verse that many use to justify sin. However when interpeted by means of common perception this does not agree with the Spirit of Christ at all. Christ did not live his life as an example for us to follow and shed his blood for us in order to continue to live in sin. In verses 7 and 9 it states that if we walk in the light and confess our sins we will be cleansed by the blood of Christ from all sin and unrighteousness. After he cleanses us from all sin, how much is left? And if we are still sinning are we walking in the light that God has provided? A few verses that are very clear are 2:6, 3:3 and 8-9. The most convincing verse to me is St.Johns 14:6 with emphisis in "and THE life". When Paul was preaching he was just about always speaking to people in the church (so called religious people) letting them know that most of them are not living according to the Word of God and that same trend continues today. And Romans 7 is a lengthly study but Paul is trying to address the Jews who might hesitate to embrace the Gospel, showing them that as they rested in the law it was necessary to convince them of their mistake. Paul here is probably speaking of his testimony before he became a beliver, especially when speaking of being carnal minded and in the flesh. This chapter in no way implies that Paul was a sinner after his conversion. And fo Eph 3: 13, Paul is telling them that there is no reason to faint and that his sufferings are honorable to them and their cause and there is no reason to drawback in the day of distress. In verse 14 he simply says that he prays fervently on his knees, for them, to God. Ok if :the devil put us in sin is to strong, how about lead us into sin? Either way you want to phrase it Christ can lead us out of it or deliver us from it. And yes man did sin of his own free will and that is the same reason that man sins today. By that I mean that man refuses to go all the way with God. Most want the best of both lives, to be wordly and religious at the same time. They don't mix and never will. As far as never meeting a sinless person, your not alone and there won't be many. Suporting scriptures Mat 7:13-14, Luke 13:24, and 1 Pet 3:17-20. In Christ, Lanny |
