I guess that's why JESUS told peter to forgive 70 x 7 because he know going without sin would be impossible for us mere mortals.

Do you believe the Apostles were member of the Kingdom of Heaven while they were doing their earthly ministry?


So then what do you believe of this verse?:

1Jn_2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

Yes, and if we are sinning, then have missed the mark. We are not acceptable. Not one sin enters the Kingdom of Heaven.

this speaks to the love of others under any circumstances and without conditions and does not cause others to stumble or fall by being an obstacles.

1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

I believe we must consider the act of sin as different then the condition of sin. I agree we no longer have the condition of sin if we are of God... but the acts of sinning still exists within all. I've been around a bit and have yet to find, or see, a sinless human, not one. Can you reconcile Paul's statements in Romans 7: 14-17

3x I've ask... Why the Lord's prayer?

I'm all in with those of us who have the spirit of God indwelling, live in a condition of sinless perfection but since we have both flesh and spirit and cannot separate the two in this life... we're gonna sin. If we feel strongly about something by faith, but our own strong convictions can be a stumbling block to seekers and new Christians, probably best to .... Romans 14:22

...just sayin'
