Hey Terry. Why have you tried and convicted me? I never admitted to slipping over the speed limit before, and I haven't seen any evidence from you that I have! :-) I thought we were talking about those who might have done so, not about me. :-) This question, btw, is a very common objection raised by hypocrite Christians when I preach on campus. That is why I have studied it carefully over several years. Their thinking is that everybody makes mistakes like this, so everybody sins. They don't care that God's Word says that those who are born of God cannot sin. They set their own standard of sin and then violate it so that they can say that they are a sinner. I hope you don't do that too. :-) My standard for defining sin is what is taught in the Bible. I do not set my own standards. If you think that I have, I would appreciate you showing me where I have done so. If I've been hearing you correctly, your entire premise is that if someone fails to obey every edict that the authorities have established, then they have sinned. I think the Bible is very clear that both Jesus and the apostles failed to obey the authorities over them at times, but they did not sin. Am I wrong? Peace be with you.
