If...Let's not digress too far from the article. If you read the context of Isaiah you will clearly see that my interpretation is correct. This scripture is not intended to describe the universal condition of mankind or even every Christian. Secondly I do believe in sinless perfection and if God intended for you to remain a slave to sin after your salvation, then He wasted the blood of His Son and should have stayed with the sacrificial system. I believe I gave ample scriptures for my position, Even 1st John says "Children I am writing this that you sin not". I find it odd when a Christian argues with me to defend sin in his life; I once had this discussion with a pastor and half way through he just shut up. He realized he was fighting for the devil while I was fighting for God. If you live in sin Bill it is out of your own free will and laziness. For no temptation will confront you that is not common to all men and God is faithful to always provide a way of escape. You just have to be willing to obey God and follow Him instead of the Piper. One final note on "Elect" this word means "Object of divine favor" so anyone who freely accepts Christ becomes an object of God's divine favor and becomes one of the elect. If we restrict the use of the word to your Calvinist views then Jesus who was called the Elect must have been chosen from among His spiritual brothers to be the savior.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments john & nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04331762290724806692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429301592121569234.post-44938962762182558162015-05-14T08:51:17.260-07:002015-05-14T08:51:17.260-07:00So are you saying that one who is truly saved and ...So are you saying that one who is truly saved and truly one of the elect never sins again? Or that one truly saved and truly elect has the potential not to sin in every situation?<br />Do you sin?<br />Jesus' definition of sin seemed to include many thoughts and mind-sets, as opposed to specific actions.<br />Do you believe that people can lose their salvation because they sin after being saved?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641837488160192816noreply@blogger.com
