Subject: Is sinless perfection possible on earth? |
Bible Note: If we are free of the law, and dead to sin how is it we still sin and that sin can decide our destiny? What are we free of? Man always had the choice to sin or not. Man always had the temptations so what changed? Again I'm not being argumentative and actually we have strayed from my original question. Everyone agrees we are free from the law, Sin no longer has a hold on us, and that we are dead to sin. But what has changed in the relationship of man to sin? No one will claim David had to sin with Bathsheba he did so on his own. So what changed? |
