At the moment a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, all their past sins are forgiven them cast into the sea of forgetfulness. They are indeed perfected by Him. This however does not mean that person will choose to remain in Him, to remain in that perfected condition that Jesus just had them in. In your statements above they are contradicting. You say on the one hand He has perfected us, then on the other say we can not be perfect until we go to Heaven. Are you perfected by Him or not? The Truth is anyone who accepts Jesus as their Savior and Lord, becomes perfect by and through Him, they are indeed sinless. This does not mean they will remain that way, because as soon as they knowingly and willingly commit sin, they have returned to their own vomit again. They were washed clean by His stripes and sacrifice, only to dirty their own selves up again. They were made perfect, but no longer remain in that condition because they freely choose to sin against Jesus.
You say "[/B][/COLOR]
We will never be perfect in our lives until we get to heaven, only then will anyone be actually perfect."
The Word says "Perfect, Will not Stumble"

lol. keep believing this, why do you excuse your sin? Your preaching an impossible gospel. which is not good news at all. it is placing people back under the law. which will never save anyone.
How are you saying "why do you excuse your sin?" are you kidding me right now, thats a good one. i teach don't sin at all, and you say i am excusing my sin. How in anything i have said above or in any article on the website, am i excusing my sins. i do not knowingly and willingly commit ANY sin against my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, how then can you say i am excusing my sin. i abhor sin, yet you say i excuse it? lol, funny that, really that made me laugh. Who are those who excuse their sins, but those who continue to sin and still think they are Heaven bound.
You say i am teaching an impossible gospel, Not impossible, but very difficult and narrow, but the reward is eternal life with Jesus Christ in His Kingdom. Is it not written nothing is impossible to them that KNOW God. Also how can i be teaching an impossible gospel, when i am proof that it is possible, because i live it, and i live because HE is in me, and gives me the Strength and Power to overcome EVERY temptation that satan throws at me, it is HE in me, that i am able to do that which you say is an impossible gospel. What you call an impossible Gospel, did not Jesus teach the same thing? Yes He did, when He told a man and a woman to "Go and sin no more" would you have told Him right then and there "You are teaching an impossible Gospel" But i say the exact same thing Jesus Himself taught, and you say it is an impossible Gospel.
Not impossible, those who Truly want to be on the narrow and difficult path that leads to Life everlasting, which only and very few will find, MUST give up their life, they can no longer live a life for themselves, they give their life to Jesus Christ to do with as He sees fit. i belong to Him, He is my Master, i obey ONLY him, not satan, not my flesh, not my evil desires. Those who choose to walk this path, will lose family, friends, jobs, houses, lands, EVERYONE. i belong to Jesus, i am His slave, His servant. i only do those things that please Him, i do not do those things that please self. i have given up this life, for Him. Jesus gave His life for me, because He loves me. i in a like manner gave up my life for Him, He lives in me, and is with me. i will tell you the Truth. Jesus does not reside in a temple that knowingly and willingly lives in sin. Jesus died for you because of sins, He went through what He went through because of your sins, Why on Earth would you continue to do the very things that Jesus had to die for? i hate sin, i hate selfishness, which all sin is selfishness. No it is not easy to put Christ before everything, even self.
Tell me "where is Jesus when you are about to knowingly and willingly commit a sin, which you know is sinful, where is HE? How long do you think the Holy Ghost will reside in a body (temple) that quenches her every time that temple willingly commits sin? This generation is so blind, it is not willing to give up their sinning, that is just to hard to do, an impossible thing to do. So because it is impossible to do, let us hear a gospel that teaches, we can continue to sin and still go to Heaven. Cursed Children that cannot cease from sin.
The man that asked Jesus what must i do to be Saved, and Jesus told the man to go and sell all that you have and follow me, then you will be PERFECT.
What are you willing to give up? Are you willing to give up your husband? Your Wife? What about your children are you willing to give them up? What about Family? What about giving up your friends? Are you willing to give up EVERYTHING for Jesus and follow Him and only Him? Are you?
How many of you said YES? Yet you are not willing to give up the sin that so easily besets you. How does that make any since at all? You say "I am willing to give up my life for Jesus Christ" yet you are NOT willing to give up the sin that you so easily do over and over and over again. You see, i have given Him my life. ALL of it, EVERYTHING, and i have lost EVERYTHING because of that choice, i have given up sinning. impossible, YES, with man it is impossible. But with Jesus it is not impossible, i could not do it without Him.
Jesus told me a statement one time in conversation, and it hit me hard, so hard in fact that i ran from God for a couple of years, until God sent an Angel to get me back on track teaching His Word. But i believed even as this generation believes, i believed OSAS, i believed that were are not suppose to sin, but if we did, we have Jesus to forgive us. But what He told me, shocked me to my very core, so much so, i was like Jonah and ran, and oh did i live like the devil then, another story. But this is what He said to me.
"There is no sin that you do that you can't cease from."
He was telling me, to stop sinning, it was not Godly. i did not want to stop sinning, besides that would be way to difficult to do, impossible even, yeah that's it, He is asking me to do something that is not possible to do, so i ran from God. ... . ... ... .... .. .... ... .. Sorry, started crying just now, Because i ran, its the last time i ever heard his voice again, He has not spoken to me since, still crying, i hurt terribly because how i would love to hear Him again, to speak with me again, as He did many times before i ran. Sorry be back in a minute... .. .. .... .. . Well that's another story. But back to what i was saying, What He told me is so true.
There is no sin that you do that you can't cease from.
If then you CAN cease from every single sin that you do, be prepared to answer for yourself WHY you did not cease from them. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth on Judgement Day.
