Subject: Is sinless perfection possible on earth? |
Bible Note: Tim, After my first post I think the garden illustration may help. If you are suggesting that it is possible to have a garden free from weeds then I will have no major qualms with you. If you suggest that in this life we can ever be done "weeding" in order to make that so then we have disagreement. In the next life we will have no need to even weed. And THAT is what I would call entire sanctification. And that may help or not help at all! :) In Christ, Beja |
