I knew you were trying to set me up, and I was right, just to call me a 'sinner,' and a wicked one at that.
That's okay, I know the Reformed don't know any better.
No, I am not a sinner; I am a child of God. There is a big difference. So are you really a slave of sin, and still a "wicked" sinner? Or are you a child of God, and with the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit of God, do you keep yourself pure? Do you succumb to temptation, or do you resist temptation no it longer let it draw you in?
John 8:34-36
34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever,
but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
1 John 3:1-9
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called
children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been
born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
