Interesting post....I like that. ( Golly, so many different conversations going on in this thread...there should be more than one thread here !! Ha! )
Don't you find that people seem to get muddled up between sin and sins?
When I read threads I find people switch between the two...one moment they are talking about the root of sin which came via Adam...but the next moment they are really talking about "sins" = Missing the mark.
"
Anything which is not of faith is sin".
It's easy to do..I have found myself doing this also!! Ha!
Maybe this is off topic and not belonging in this thread...
I saw Taken's response also...to me the mixture between sins, and sin is there too. Jesus delivered us from the curse of Adam's sin. He laid the axe to that root. We are not "in sin"...that was settled when we came to the Lord. Done.
1 John 1:7 " But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin."
Do we miss the mark? Fall short? therefore sin, yes, we know that. But we are not sinners. Sin has been dealt with once and for all.
On this Site I see people 'yipping on' about sin...but half the time they are talking about the imputed sin of Adam...yet somehow seem to think that that is still over problem. But that was "the old man" yet we are now
in the new.
And we must at all times stay very aware of that, so that we are found in the over-comers and stop "missing the mark" on the stuff which trips us up!
Sorry, I got rambling here ...I tend to do that.
