Hi David, Remember my post from a few days ago regarding your 'debate tactics'? Here you see them in slow motion. First the cop-out line. I have sent more posts in this thread than any other; hardly a cop-out. Then the get a point of agreement and wham hit with the unanswerable challenge. I may not be wise but I am smart.
You are going on about your own pet theory of Wesleyan sanctification/perfection. I don't mind discussing it but far more important issues on the definition of sin are going on. I would hate to get sidetracked and have people miss the meat. When you asked me to consider taking the moderator position you requested that I attempt to bring serious discussion back to this forum. I am doing the best I can.

Your answer to this question is very central to this thread. You read the passage, you interpreted it properly in concluding that the parents of John the Baptist were keeping the Torah blamelessly, but now you don't want to make any kind of general statement from this specific observation? Inquiring minds want to know. Do you think what Zachariah and Elizabeth achieved in keeping the law was just a fluke, or were they just one example among others of those who pleased God through obeying the law? Peace be with you.
