I understand his thoughts I have known folks who teach this that seem to be proud.

I was referring to living a life WITHOUT sin...an impossible task....the operative word is WITHOUT....

He could tell you himself, which I hope he will, but he said that the only reason we sin is because we CHOOSE TO. And you are saying we cannot help but sin. Big difference.

And so now I ask you a second time....do you believe that you live a life WITHOUT sin? A sincere answer from anyone would be in the negative....

Growing up in the home church NO ONE ever sinned. We were saved FROM sin and we did not sin period. I NEVER heard anyone say they ever had sinned. They had faults mind you and some of those faults seemed like sin to me but what do I know?

This teaching I propose has transformed my life. Whether anyone does it or not, matters not. What saith the scriptures?

But my person life? I am sinning less and less. I am still learning this and getting rid of the mentality that we are born with, inherent from the knowledge of good and evil.

I am proving this to work.

I have never lived a life before that is as free from sin as to the degree I am now living. I still make errors. But that is when I am not walking in the Spirit, and succumb to the ingrained counterfiet reliance upon my flesh. Takes time to unlearn that mess.

We are talking about BEHAVIOUR. We all have SIN. But that SIN works into our behaviour until we learn to walk in the Spirit.

I thought I might have sinned once but I found out it was only a fault.

Therefore, you are bearing much fruit in your life for God's glory....though you'll never reach perfection on this side of eternity....keep up the good work, brutha...sinning less and less is an idea I shared earlier on in this thread.....

I believe God to do more than sin less and less. STOP SINNING altogether. But that is only so much as I walk in the Spirit. It is possible, bro. The bible says so. You really have to show me where the bible states this ideal is not something we can hope to attain in this life.

Romans 6 says what Romans 6 says. And we must cease looking at lives, and look to the Word. The WORD is our foundation.

But who is keeping score, right? You are one perfect man...
