Subject: Is sinless perfection possible on earth? |
Bible Note: "Is Abraham in heaven?" (sic) Yes... that's what Romans 4 is about. See also Galatians 3:8. "How was his relationship any different than ours?" (sic) There is no other means of salvation than through Christ (Acts 4:12). We are simply at opposite chronological points to the historical events of the Cross. (Hebrews 10-11) "Yet we say sin has no dominion over us but we also say sin can take us to hell." (sic) You didn't want to define sin. Regardless the answer would get into another topic you didn't want to talk about. The Synergist would say that Christ did not die for sins committed after salvation. The Monergist would say that Christ died for all sin of the believer. "Is it sin or our the condition of our hearts?" (sic) The Synergist would say that attitude is the crucial factor -- that's what Wesley said. The Monergist would say that all sin arises from the heart (Luke 6:45) -- it arises from the nature of the tree (Matthew 7:18). Please really read post #228626 this time. |
