You need to go back and read the book of Romans, particularly 6-8 a couple hundred times till you get it.

Nice evasion. If you sin every day as a choice, how are you not a "willing slave" to it, Mac?

I've never seen anyone who can dig a hole for yourself as quickly as you.

Answer the question I already asked, and you evaded, and I'll answer yours.

What can damn me, Mac?

I don't know. I don't know if you're saved or not. Only (maybe) you and (definitely) God knows that

But are you a WILLING slave to sin, Budman?

Once again, you're evading. If one is a born again Christian, can anything damn them?

If you are not a "willing slave" to sin, why do you sin every day, Mac?

And Romans 8:13- For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

and Romans 8: But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Mac, why do you sin every day as a choice and claim you are not a "slave" to it?

Because I'm not Jesus. To be sinless, one would have to be as perfect as Jesus. BUT imperfection does not make you a slave to sin.

You are going to have to answer BIG TIME to Jesus for twisting His Scripture.

Who said I sin every day as a choice? You don't have to make any choice at all to sin. Sin includes any missing of the mark of God's perfect standard. We commit sins of omission as well as commision. There are sins of wrong motive, wrong intent, even our good works are imperfect.

Then, by your own definition, you're a slave to sin, aren't you? You sin willingly every day because you choose to. And don't threaten me with God, when you're the one twisting what He says.

So, you sin by "accident" every time you sin?

Give me a break.
