Just want to be clear. I am not advocating sin. Every time a person lies, breaks a commitment, speaks evil dignities, or does anything contrary to faith it is a sin. I just want to say I sometimes fall short. I don't mean that as an excuse, but Lord have mercy. I have the Holy Ghost and if I am error it don't take me long to know it. Maybe we are saying the same thing from a different point of view. If sin never surfaces in any way in your life how does the Holy Ghost convict you?
If there is nothing wrong why have conviction? Why does the Bible speak of a Father chastening a son in relation to God and his children? If they never make wrong decisions why chastisement necessary.
Of course I don't advocate sin. We should flee temptation, shun evil, abhor sin, etc...., and all that stuff. I would be careful of this doctrine of pre-resurrection perfection. I have known some wonderful men of God in my life, but none without faults.
Faults=Sins
