But seriously folks......Just what does that expression "The Scriptures
teach that..." actually mean? Am I the only one smiling on certain
occasions, saddened on others, and even angered at the presumptuousness on
yet further occasions?

perfectionism" is, probably a CofC thing. The scriptures teach that "without
holiness it is impossible to please God" and that "without holiness noone
will see the Lord" So what do you have against it? As for Greek tenses and
verbs - the Holy Spirit can communicate with or without them - all Greeks
are not saved are they?

> MY Bible does not say �?oand keep on falling short of the glory�?��?�� �
Sure it does.� The verb in the greek ("fall short" )� is a present tense
verb.� � The action of present tense is linear or contining action.� � �
"� I breath to maintain life"� is the same as "I am breathing to maintain
life."� � � � "I am eating my food" is present tense.� � "....are falling
short of the glory of God ... " is present tense.� You do not have to be a
greek student to understand "present tense."� � There is no discussion of
this� --� it is a very simple fact of grammar.�
