Subject: Is sinless perfection possible on earth? |
Bible Note: Fine, Ed... having vision problems so I will have to drop of for a bit. You said you were interested in what other people thought based on their understanding of Scripture: A classic is "The Mortification of Sin" by John Owen. But if it is dead peoples' thoughts you object to, I have another suggestion. (It is also a lot easier read.) Jerry Bridges did a wonderful little book called "The Pursuit of Holiness." You asked, "So what is different between how we live today and how Abraham who trusted in the Messiah for his salvation lived?" My dear Pentecostal friend, please refer to John 14:16-18. |
