You say that we are saved by grace. Can you answer this question..... After being saved by grace......Do we continue in sin, that grace may abound?Yup, scrolled right through it. Didn't read one bit. Thank God we are all saved by grace and kept the same. Amen. YOu are perfect..No need to gain any more knowledge. God forbid you make a mistake..oh I forgot...that's impossible for the self-righteous sinless and perfect. You sure your name is not Jesus.

I was asking you to answer a question, not interpret a passage in the bible.Do we continue in the sin? You know it is not talking about an act of sin?
Let not, therefore, sin reign in your mortal body...
Obviously, sin can reign after a person is saved.
We are not talking about an act of sin, but rather, the chapter is referring to the dominion the sin nature has in peoples lives. The answer is no...God forbid. For (the) sin shall not have dominion over you.
All I'm saying is that the bible does not teach sinless perfection anywhere in the bible. It teaches that our sinful natures still reside in our body, and so does the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God subdues the sin nature if we allow him to by faith in Christ and the Cross.
People will always sin, by that I mean make mistakes that offend God. If not, then you are by definition perfect and do not need any spiritual growth and dependence on God to develop your character, as you are already just like Christ in word, thought, and deed, i.e. perfect, as in without flaw, or the possibility to make a mistake.
I think it matters not whether you or I are perfect or sinners..... It is unwise to project our accomplishments or failures on others. I believe that you sin and will continue to do so, because you said and believe this......But I do not believe that, just because you cannot stop, that every other Christian cannot as well.Here is a better question. At the moment you were saved by grace, have you made mistake in word, thought, or deed, that offended God or was contrary to Gods word? Be honest!
People are given Gods perfection, but we do not actually live in it in its fullness, nope not until Glory. Because we still live with the sin nature inside, thus, we cannot be fully like Christ. But when he shall appear, then we shall be like him, and in every way.

nevertheless, you are correct sinless perfection is a term not mentioned in the bible and I've only read it here in these forum....so not that we both agree on this, we can leave it out of the conversation.
Can you show me where the following is found in the bible?: "It teaches that our sinful natures still reside in our body, and so does the Spirit of God."

There are some who wish to be perfect and like Christ......they come here and see that people are shamed and called lairs and sinners for even expressing these thoughts.
Yet the ones that proudly say they are sinners and will always remain sinners are praised.
Something seems off. Why try and shatter ones goal to be like Christ? Why does this Goal make some angry? Why is it wrong to desire to go and sin no more? Why must they be told that this is a foolish endeavor?
Why cant we let those that wish to be perfect go on to perfection without the extra doubt and stumbling blocks being thrown in their path?
And what does one wish to gain, by placing this doubt in the heart of one who wishes to sin no more?

People will always sin, by that I mean make mistakes that offend God.
If I say that I have a desire to do something, and you tell me it is impossible to do....this is placing doubt.Not placing doubt on you. I'm just keeping it real. In this life. You will sin. It's impossible not to. Unless you are beyond ever making a mistake. If a person say they have no sin, they are a liar. That's what the bible teaches, in its proper interpretation and meaning. That's all.

And the more we walk with God in obedience and get to know Him (in His Word), we start to adopt His point-of-view, seeing sin as He does. That helps a lot!
