Not even close on this one, Judy.   More proof-texting theology.  Isa 59:2 has nothing to do with our present day situation.   I am even startled to see this comment.    It is so wrong as to be almost humorous.   This is nothing but the doctrine of perfectionism   It goes against  a whole host of biblical comment and denies not only the purpose of the cross but the stated need for the continual flow of the blood of the Lamb.    It offers no hope for those who come to the Lord trapped (in an addictive sense) in their sin.  Your conclusion is not true. John ======================================================= Maybe I am a little slow here John, but did Jesus not instruct us to be perfect, just as the Father is perfect?  Has obedience not always been close to the top of God's list?  Did the Father not turn away from even His own son when the Son took on the sins of the world?  I do not see anything wrong or humorous.  That is God's word.
