They misuse Romans 3:23 and Romans 7. How do you correct this thinking without being seen as a heretic, being that it's a common belief? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1Jn 1:8-10) Sin will cease when we are in His presence. Where does the Bible say sin will cease when we are in His Presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1Co 15:55-56) I'm not sure how these verse say that we will be sinless only after His return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Where does the Bible say sin will cease when we are in His Presence." Since death shall be no more (Rev 21:4), it follows that neither will sin since sin produces death (1Cor 15:56). Now how about some proof texts for your position? Jude 1:24 1 Peter 4: 1-2 2 Peter 1: 5-10 Romans 8: 2-14 are some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
