I don't disagree with that. In God's eyes, we are redeemed or made whole, if you will. Still, we remain in the flesh, which is weak.

IF we try to love God and each other every day and repent when we don't we will NOT sin, but if we do the repentance covers it. It bears repeating, pcamps:
As usual, the point of the discussion flies a mile over your head, and instead of trying to understand it, you try to misrepresent beliefs of other people.

There is indeed liberty in Christ, and contrary to your claims, it was specifically mentioned Christ will not count our sins against us.

So, does that mean we are sinless?

No, it does not mean that, and that's the point.

I suggest you do that.

I agree. Although this is a Christianty message board, many here espouse beliefs contrary to Christianity.

I had no plans on offering you any proof. I have not asked you to prove something I already know, and I was not going to offer proof for something everyone already knows. What's the point?

This is not true either. I am sorry you didn't get the point.

Dear Finn,

I get you. You are i sinner. It is the only thing you know. Your arrogance is in speaking for everyone else.

You are the one having an imaginary conversation about my bathroom habits, and now wish to step back from your imaginary conversation. My bathroom habits are now lodged in your head. I have simply put your bit of fetish into context.

I have never thought about another persons bathroom habits, let alone use it as some sort of proof about sin and lying.

Kinky.

Love,
Ronk

Have you achieved this perfection?

You poor thing. I have said nothing contrary to Christianity or God.

However, I do not espouse a Fundamentalist Christian Extremist Ideology. I leave that to you.

Yes, although less than before.

I am making steady progress. Of course, I've only been a Christian for 45 years.

You are proving it again.

The question is not whether or not you (or anyone) sin, the question is if you can go 1 hour without sinning.

Keep practicing, jimmie!

And perhaps one day you too will know the inner peace of a sinless life.
