<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]I hear people often say, "well, we all sin every day" as if we had no choice in the matter. Hogwash. There is no temptation that befalls us that God does not give us a way to escape from (1 Corinthians 10:13). For being alive in Christ, we are dead to sin; how then can we live any longer in it (Romans 6:2)?</font><hr></blockquote><p>So, am I understanding you right, that in addition to your other spurious views you also believe in "Perfectionism"? . . . that is, it is possible for an individual to live a perfectly righteous life (100% sinless) after the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in them? If so, why is it that not even one of the Apostles who had a full measure of the Spirit's influence and power even came close to a sinless life.<blockquote>1 Timothy 1:15 (KJV) This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I <span style="background-color:yellow;">am</span> (not was) chief.</blockquote>In His Grace,
