Subject: Is sinless perfection possible on earth? |
Bible Note: EdB, I understand. And I think we have to give a bit of grace here. It is very hard to say for certainty exactly what Paul ment by some of the phrases in Romans 6-8, especially chapter 6, and I can not myself fault anybody else for struggling to explain them since I too struggle in it. I have had more fruitful study personally trying to grasp the flow of that section instead. Sometimes it is easier to see what Paul believes he has just proven a few verses or chapters later! :) But we labor on, studying the word, and letting our suggested interpretation be refined by well-meant criticism, both by the living such as on this forum, and by the dead through the writings they have left us. I have certainly enjoyed the thread. In Christ, Beja |
