I'd like to pose a question:
if being obedient is the deciding factor for being a Christian (or even if it's just a co-deciding factor), then precisely how obedient do you have to be?
Precisely how obedient must you be to be a Christian, if it depends on obedience?
Most people here don't believe they are sinlessly perfect.
So if you aren't sinlessly perfect, that means you are not 100% obedient in thoughts and deeds during 100% of every waking moment.
So if you aren't 100% obedient in thoughts and deeds during 100% of every waking moment...
just exactly HOW OBEDIENT must you be?
Must you be 99% obedient?
Maybe you only have to be 95% obedient?
Maybe it's 90% obedient.
Maybe it's 99.9% obedient.
What do you think?
If you must be obedient to be a Christian, then just precisely HOW obedient must you be?
I am NOT condoning disobedience in any way.
I just think we need to rethink causal relationships between doctrines and concepts.
So how obedient must we be?
If you were 98% obedient this week, was that enough?
Did you lose your salvation?
