I will answer you with the Bible...Originally Posted by Romeyo07
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Pride goeth before a fall.
Yet the Bible also says this......
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Heres the thing...if you are walking with God completely submitted to His will you will not keep on doing the same sin over and over and over. To do so makes you a liar and sells God short.
God is willing to provide power to ANYONE to OVERCOME sin.
The thing is, the more a true Christian overcomes sin the more they realize they have more to overcome. As you gain the victory over one thing God will show you more you yet need the victory over. The true Christian will never get to a point on this earth where they will say that they have no sin or are not sinning because to do that is itself a sin. If nothing else that would be pride and remember what happens after pride? Yep...a fall.
Furthermore a true Christian is likely to be aware due to their close connection with Christ that they may have unrealized sins that they yet need to address.A true Christian will ALWAYS only rely on Gods mercy and power and GIVE GOD credit for anything good in his/her life, never taking any credit to themselves or boasting of being sinless.
Please...lets address one non Biblical teaching at a time. Rapture is not a Biblical teaching. Its a latin word....that should tell the discerning student of its origin.If in that moment the church is raptured...etc
