You truly think you are perfect. It's incredibly interesting.

What I think is just as fascinating is that you must be having a major struggling on a day by day level. That isn't an insult, by no means. Sinful attitude, why? Why would I have to have one? Sinful thoughts? Again, can you tell me why I would have to have them? My own goodness? Here is another thought of my old dad, "Christians think what Serial Killers actually perform." When he would say that he would roll, chew, the end of his cigar. Calvinism breeds the Jailhouse Jesus. I have a sister in the church who use to be a teacher in the prison. She was able to interview inmates as helpers. She interviewed one chap who was Bible study leader, helped in chapel. She told me that he was very pious and knowledgeable concerning scripture. Well, it turns out that when she checked out his background, that he assaulted the dental assistant, and broke her jaw. I said that to say this, he believed that while sinning he was saved. He could attempt to rape a girl but still be in good standing with God. Because after all it wasn't about his goodness, but Jesus' goodness. After all sin is part of who we are, and never can live a sin free life. So, we have a bullet wound oozing blood, and just a small band-aid to stop the hemorrhaging? Why is Jesus telling married men not to even look on a woman to lust after her in their mind? Didn't Jesus know that was clearly impossible? But even worse lay the charge of adultery? Costeon, please explain the verses I have given you. Clearly you have the time because you keep coming back for more.
