ah well seems to me cg et al have found some shortcut? Why do...ah, there is no doing even there; why believe all that when i can believe "it is finished" and Jesus already did everything necessary for me to...what, i guess 'go to heaven when i die' or some other ball of crap that someone thinks they have found in Scripture?
christiang is perfect/sinless in his own eyes right now, dunno if you noticed or not.
bit like this man
Luk 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
Luk 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Luk 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Luk 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Luk 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Luk 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Cant forget that one day when PM admitted to not being perfect, it was like the whole of heaven rejoiced in that brief moment of humility, but sadly te hSDA's all have teh same script burned into their minds.
