[quote=MaggieMye;289577]No it was not my point. I believe that when someone becomes a Christian they carry with them sin, That type of thinking negates what Christ did on the Cross, which tell us that when we are Born again, Born of God, ALL THINGS BECOME NEW and our sin is washed away. often deep rooted from their past life. Excuse me? "Past lives" are NOT Biblical. Whereas some sin will I am sure immediately be stopped others need more time. We cannot wave a magic wand and all of our sins immediately disappear on conversion.According to scirpture, they DO dissappear. Of course that does not mean that a person won't sin again. But IF they are truly Born of God, they will not CHOOSE to sin. BEcause to CHOOSE to sin is to bow to and OBEY that sin and the demon behind its promotion and that it idolatry.

I should have added that if you do choose to sin, would that mean that you have bowed to and obeyed that sin and the demon behind it? And if you sin does that make you an idolator?

Also if all our sins are washed away and gone without a trace, left at conversion would we not then be Holy?

So why does it say in Heb10:14

Because by one sacrifice he has made perfect those who are being made Holy.

Surely if you are right we are already Holy, how can we be being made Holy?
