I do not seek your respect, David. Homeless man anecdote aside, you are
deluded on this matter. All David, are theologically weak. You however,
happen to have landed on a 'biggy'.

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.
David Miller.
