You are starting with a false premise, Lance, and therefore you can never reach a correct conclusion. We common Christians are not a bumbling group of village idiots that are half right half the time. We are people who can know the mind of God as the Holy Spirit reveals this information to us. We are human, and when we get ahead of the Spirit we can err, but on the whole, we can know with great certainty much more that that for which you give us credit. Using your standards, we could not even be certain of the virgin birth.DM speaks of 'this false concept that I (I believe I'm not alone on TT regarding this) have that humans sin daily.' DM refers to this as a 'lie of Satan' and, he offers an interesting (the Incarnation!!) explanation in support of it..
A couple of things occur to me:
1. In what capacity (office) do you speak on this matter? Do you address us as an ordinary believer, like the others, who is offering his own interpretation and, may therefore be incorrect? Do you address us as someone 'knowing the mind of God' on this matter, with no possibility whatsoever of misrepresenting Him, at least on this issue?

We have God's word. There are mysteries in that book that none of us understand, but there is also much that was meant to be easily understood, not by scientific examination, but by revelation, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We do not need a hundred authors. We do not need to be clairvoyant. We just need to know our master, and listen to what He has recorded for us. God, speaking, not through an authority or an expert, a priest or an author, but One on one.
The veil has been torn. We have access to the throne. Put down your book, find a quiet place, and hear from Him. You will be amazed at what He will allow you to know. Seek first.............
