Two reasons for your uncleaness persist, DavidM:   1. You openly assert that you are sinless/perfect now (which is a lie), and teach others to promote that wicked lie:   1Jn1:5  This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6  If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. || 8  If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. -- <<Is 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.   [KJV: But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.]  >>Tue, 15 Oct 2002 19:24:55 -0600     2. You refuse to accept the truth of the Scriptures and scriptural traditions/concepts which correctly teach people to repent from sin/s:   1Jn1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. --   On Fri, 29 Nov 2002 15:11:25 -0500 "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >The question before us is not about salvation, >but whether or not a person can keep be >led of the Spirit and still keep the law..
