Re: Why I Believe In Sinless Perfection

I have a question for those who believe we can't be perfect and sinless, what do you think being perfect and sinless means?

Re: Why I Believe In Sinless Perfection

One posts only Scriptures and sound exegesis proving his claim, some agree (not with him, but with the Word of God), but the rest attack the man who quotes the Scriptures.

Is the argument with Michael or with the Word of God?

There will be sinless perfection. Corruption shall put on In-corruption.

Until then, let us be careful to maintain good works and trust the following:

Romans 6:22,

Quote:
22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
and

2 Peter 1:1-11,

Quote:
1. Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7. And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the constant intercession of Jesus Christ our High Priest, we can live above the reproach of sin and the corruption currently within us through the flesh. We are not slaves to that law!

All things are possible to him that believes...
