Subject: Is sinless perfection possible on earth? |
Bible Note: Beja I like that analogy of the garden and weeds but what scriptures do you base that on. I find when most people approach this subject the do so from experience of their own lives. The believe they are saved (they may or may not be) and they know they battles they may or may not fight with sin. The thing I find most shocking is many contibute sinless perfection to specific camps of thought yet I who has come out of most of those camps of thought always felt 1 john 2:8 as being very clear and concise that we all still sin. I have recently been told that is all wrong and I'm trying to understand how what scriptures people us to support or oppose Sinless Perfection. |
