The Standard By Which We Will Be Judged

Can you answer with a yes or no? Are you faultless perfect without sin?

I dont presently have sin in my life. I am a normal Christian. Do you have sin in yours?

Sin as in imperfections, yes. I am glad you are perfect without sin, not being funny.

Bro it is supposed to be the norm.

12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Phil. 2:12-13

I am not trying to be funny either. If we know we have sin in our life we should be very afraid.

Here are wise words from the apostle John:

4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4

The Creator of the Universe is in a Spirit filled Christian. That's sufficient to overcome the temptations of life.

You really should get out more, you have evidently been listening to something/someone that I don't listen to. I've never heard an Apostolic preacher preach making "it sound like sin is stronger than God". As a matter of fact just last week the preacher use John 1:4 in his preaching.

Hmm. I would follow that with, "if we believe that we are sinless, we should be even more afraid!"

"If you, being evil..." Was, after all, directed at the Apostles.

Well if he preaches to live overcoming sin thats good. The people I talk with usually preach we can never really be free from it.

I never heard anyone preach to continue in sin.
