Subject: Isn't Paul free of sin? |
Bible Note: Philip, I'm sorry, but I'm having a really hard time believing that you believe what you are saying. I've never met anybody in my life who actually thinks such a thing. So perhaps I am not understanding you clearly. Let me ask a few questions so as to understand if I am hearing you correctly. Are you saying that any saved person will never sin such that: No saved person ever thinks an ungodly thought? No saved person ever covets another person's things? No saved person ever says a hars word in anger? No saved person ever says a slanderous word about somebody else? No saved person is ever lazy or idle at any moment? No saved person is ever disobedient to a parent? No saved person ever lies at any time? No saved person ever has a hard time forgiving? No saved person ever gives God less than his best? No saved person ever looks on another woman with lust? No saved person ever at any moment takes God's name in vain? No saved person ever goes a day without prayer? No saved person ever goes through a day and neglects proper attention to God's word? No saved person ever fails to testify boldly of Christ? Is THIS really what you are saying? Not only in theory, but you are actually saying that in your life you never do any of these things at any moment since your salvation? I ask this with sincerity and no sarcasim. I can't help but think you must mean something other than this with your words, for I have a hard hard time believing that anybody could actually truely believe this. In Christ, Beja |
