[TruthTalk] Christian Perfection

We can find out what the fruit are in Galatians 5:22,23 and from the above we can know that when God's Word falls among thorns in a person's heart no fruit will be brought to perfection in that person's life.  No debate about it.   Why cling to doctrines that will never conform you to godliness and/or holiness? Sure you can debate until the cows come home but for what purpose?  It's possible to be honestly deceived.   judyt
