In a absolute perfect place there's no contrast, and therefore no way to determine any difference or uniqueness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a absolute perfect place there's no contrast, and therefore no way to determine any difference or uniqueness. I am not made by "inconsistencies" now and I won't be in my spiritual body either. I am made perfect in the sight of God by the shed blood of Jesus, now and forever forward throughout eternity to come through time after time itself. I am washed white as snow, acceptable to God the Father who cannot abide imperfection. The failures the flaws the short falls all covered fully by the sacrifice already made by Jesus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a absolute perfect place there's no contrast, and therefore no way to determine any difference or uniqueness. If I understand you correctly; By the inconsistency I believe you mean sin, sin doesn’t make me me. Sin makes me a prisoner to itself. Perfection or righteousness is that that frees me from the bondage of sin so I might be free to walk in perfect righteousness or perfect freedom. For perfect righteousness is perfect freedom. For scripture says; “he that sins is a slave of sin” to be freed from sin is to be able to walk in perfect righteousness. Righteousness is like the counting of numbers regardless of how high you count, there is still an infinite amount still to be counted, righteousness is the same way, regardless of how much has been manifested there still an infinite amount that still can be manifested. This is the glory and greatness of our God. He that has freed us to walk in perfect freedom for all eternity. 23 hours ago, turtletwo said: @Not me I love this topic!

Wonderful post Turtletwo, I too am learning to be absolutely dependent of God. These scripture and these lyrics are most excellent, they were a great read. I will have to get a listen to this song.
