Subject: who is pure from sin |
Bible Note: Searcher, I agree with you that no one can be sinless after he/she is saved. There's a big difference however, between to "commit a sin" and to "live in sin". All sin is bad but we're going to "slip up" on occasion even though we don't want to, but thank God for Jesus. 1John 2:1 "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:" It wasn't I who cited one verse. If you notice in the post of my question,(which was in response to another post) I had cited the last 3 verses of 1 John. John says a lot of "if we" in which the "we" is speaking of all believers. 2:21 "I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth."
