My, my..... here's a guy that openly admits he reads severely wicked novels by Stephen King & plays & sings classic rock, & has the audacity to tell me I've stuck my foot in my mouth!
Then..... tells me he's done more good than me, but doesn't even know me. But I'm a hypocrite ,cuz he said so.
Tell ya what..... don't let me interfere with you telling us what else you like & do..... tell us more. Anyone who loves reading satanic novels must have more.
BTW, why should I worry 'bout my eternal soul if I'm eternally secure?
I put my smileys on my posts to show I was having fun, but you didn't take it that way. I might have been pullin' yer chain a little bit, but I didn't expect you to come out gnashing & lambasting me like that.
Cool yer jets, bro.

I don't believe in sinless perfection. Paul gave us a set of verses that confirm he couldn't do it because he lived in sinful flesh. All of this is in present tense, not past tense.
Romans 7:14-25 (KJV) [SUP]14 [/SUP]For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. [SUP]15[/SUP]For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. [SUP]16 [/SUP]If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. [SUP]17 [/SUP]Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [SUP]18 [/SUP]For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. [SUP]19 [/SUP]For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. [SUP]20 [/SUP]Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [SUP]21 [/SUP]I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. [SUP]22 [/SUP]For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: [SUP]23 [/SUP]But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. [SUP]24 [/SUP]O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? [SUP]25 [/SUP]I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Yes, this scripture is complicated, I know. But, it speaks to Paul's current status as an apostle & he admits as long as we live in our fleshly bodies, we will fall into sin. We even see examples in scripture where Paul calls the high priest a "whited wall", then repents of it when rebuked. The only one who had sinless perfection was Jesus, & he did that while still under the Law.
I wish I could be that perfect..... but I'll never see it till I see Jesus face to face.
