Grace.
Not you, the theological concept of Grace.
So many people tie God to sin and the sin aspect is in their minds their whole life. Talk about being enslaved.
Grace means I'm free from that. Because he's answered past and future sins, as long as I confess my future sins. I don't waste time wondering if this is a sin or not when I do it. Likewise I don't go hang out in topless bars thinking it's not a sin. I'm conscious but not obsessed.
People that think so much of sin, can't see the goal in front of them, because they are watching the past behind them. Try driving your car like that. :|
Not only are the sins forgiven, but to my understanding God wants to change you from a person who can sin, to one who can't sin. I know that's at odds to the rest of you, but I'm certain of it and have answered a billion questions on it and still sit resolute. But, what this means, and this is the point, those sins being forgiven is the beginning of the change, not the end game.
Being saved, puts you at the start line of the race Paul describes. You still have the race to run. Paul said get to the end, and he meant in this life.
So, what you find of the verses that we disagree on, is fine by me. My point is, I need not think of sinning anymore. If I do I do. As He changes me I won't. It's going to be HIS change that does anything, not my will. My will must be poor in spirit. Then it's made strong in His Spirit.
And in my Book, God is God, if He wishes to remake me to the point I don't sin anymore on earth, HE IS CAPABLE. The only discussion on that topic would be is that his intent.
And that's another thread, or in private. I just couldn't explain my view without admitting to that on the table.
