I never said that now did I. I will never be perfect...I will SIN, but I can assure thanks to the word, there are some SINS that dont entangle me anymore.
This whole debate probably comes down to how you define SIN and what SIN is...if you believe sin is an action, then you will always be under condemnation and guilt and ruled by the accuser and never truly be freed by the SON. If you believe as the Bible correctly teaches us, that SIN is a choice, then you will come to revelation knowledge that what the SON and what he did have set you free.
For Example:
John 8.1-11 is the story of the pharisee's [the accusers] bring Jesus the woman who committed habitual adultery. They asked Jesus what he would do, because the law of Moses said she should be stoned.
Jesus asked them whoever does not have SIN throw the first rock.....they all left because they had SIN. Then he told the woman something very interesting and I quote:
"Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."
Since Jesus had not yet gone to the cross, this woman was still under the Mosaic Law/Covenant. We know that no one could keep the law only Jesus did, so was he setting her up for immediate failure by stating :
go, and sin no more.
I dont think he was setting her up from immediate failure, so what did he mean by stating:
go, and sin no more.
I think he was telling her that she had the CHOICE to be an adulterer or not, that she could continue living in SIN as an Adulterer or not....it was her CHOICE and I will ask you...If the Adulterous woman left the light of the world and never committed the SIN of Adultery ever again, did she go, and sin no more?!?!?!
The question you should be asking is, did Jesus say she would be perfect or have victory over a SIN that entangled her, and that she had the power, through him, to overcome the single SIN of Adultery?
I also think Jesus masterfully handled her accusers. He was telling the woman that I forgive you and those others that come against you, have no power to keep you bound and oppressed by your single SIN, If I have forgiven you and you are neither barren or unfruitful in your knowledge of me, then you shall never fall and your accuser is rebuked by my blood and the word of your testimony!
Victory over SIN is not absolute perfection as Jesus was. It is renewing your mind and not being conformed to this world[Romans 12]
As Hebrews 12. 1 tells us: let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
Those that fail to grasp this Bible truth are rooted and grounded in condemnation and sin consciousness teaching and preaching, which has been used since the pharisees[John 8 is a great example] to promote church and personal wealth and keep people FUD and is a lie straight from hell to keep God's people from ever being a partaker of the divine nature and truly understanding who they are called to be.
I am not perfect and I am a sinner, and I do SIN, but like the adulterous woman, I have met the Light of the world and he has forgiven me and shown me that by his blood and the word, I am an overcomer to the accuser....and that SIN is my choice not any action I commit or thought I think....
