LOL. I'm not on the yellow brick road to Oz, but nice try. :-) I understand that Bill does not agree with my teaching on holiness, but I do not think he is so way out there in left field as to claim that everybody is incomplete in Christ and all believers will sin every day. I could be wrong in giving him the benefit of the doubt here. Why don't you let Bill answer for himself? It is one thing to say you don't believe the holiness of Christ is obtainable, it is quite another thing to affirm that you know for a fact that it is impossible. I was talking with a homeless man the other day who stayed with me, and we were discussing the resurrection. He did not see how it could be possible for bodies to rise from the graves. However, he expressed it as a disbelief coupled with amazement that anyone would believe such rather than affirming that there is no way it could ever happen or that those who believed in the resurrection were delusional or deceived. I can somewhat respect is incredulity because it is an amazing concept, but if he had been mocking and conceited to the point of thinking me delusional for believing such, that would be another matter. In the same way, I can respect the position of those who find the concept of holiness difficult to believe. It is an amazing concept. However, those who are so arrogant as to declare it impossible, or to presume to speak for all of humanity as if they know it all, well, I have little respect for that. Peace be with you.
