[QUOTE="FutureAndAHope, post: 75970182, member: 231174"] It is not as cut and dry as that. Sin leads to death, it does not cause it. As an example, David in the bible committed some rather terrible sins, yet God had mercy on him. The same thing is the case with those who have the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit does help to prevent sin, but the Holy Spirit does not eliminate it. The bible says "if we say we have no sin the truth is not in us", we all have some sin even with the Holy Spirit. The way I described it to my son last night is like a bottle floating in water if we add metal weights to it it will get heavier and eventually sink beneath the waves. The metal weights are our sin. The more sin we add to our lives the harder it is to maintain salvation. The bible says that sin is blinding, it closes our eyes to the truth. The fact is that the cross covers our lifetime of sins, "as it is appointed for man to die once so Christ died once for sin". We can turn from sin at any point in our life. [/QUOTE]
