Not a trick question. I have given my answer to this on the previous thread but I think it's a subject that matters very much and affects our every day lives.
I welcome all inputs and contribution except trolls.
And I'm sorry in advance if this turns out to be the 1000th law vs grace thread on this forum alone.
If the person can understand sin In the noun form,they will understand that GOD sent HIS WORD to earth manifested In the flesh to be the LAMB of GOD that took away the sins of the world
and those that accessed this grace through faith are forgiven once and forever In the spirit which Is the part that GOD looks at,
But sinning In the flesh would be the verb form
and The flesh has not yet been glorified and still sins and although we have been made just and perfected before GOD In the spirit(noun form)there are consequences for sinning In the flesh
and thats why Paul was saying ,present your bodies a living sacrifice,holy,acceptable that you may PROVE that good and acceptable and perfect will of GOD
but this Is to the reborn of the Spirit of GOD person to start renewing their mind to the person they have become,not to persuade GOD that you are saved.
You were saved In GOD's eyes when your spirit was made perfect,so then what I'm trying to say with the renewing your mind part
Is the reborn person should be becoming more righteous conscious and not thinking I have to continually keep asking GOD to forgive me when GOD already has perfected your spirit.
