Where does the bible say they cannot commit sin-unless for some encouraging hyperbole at best maybe?
The bible states that "they" do not and cannot commit sin. It also states that only servants of sin...commit sin. And one cannot serve two masters. I believe that I quoted at least one of the many verses that state this....but you seem well spoken....so let us just assume that you can adequately interpret any verse given, to match what you already believe to be true.
And if salvation consists, ultimately, in complete union with God in heaven, then we can still decide whether or not we really want that relationship as his adopted children now.
I believe we are in disagreement concerning when this union takes place.... most believe that you should die physically and then hope everything you believed was correct. Woe to these men, for there is no repentance in the grave, and God is a god of the living.....not the dead.
Nay, let us make this union now, view heaven, and then come back to tell the story like Jesus did.
"And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
We, of our our strength, lay down our lives, and pick them back up again.......therefore, death has no sting....and grave no victory....
A saved person can always jump back in the water- or in front of another car.
Paul believeth that :
" ....it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."
I tend to agree. Very doubtful that one, after making this union we speak of, and experiencing heaven, would choose to give it all up again.
