Hey Judy. Bill has a point here. You seem to shift in your
conversation here, making it difficult to track. Were you and Bill saying
the same thing all along? Do you see how it looks like you first held the
position that Christians lack any tendency to sin, but then redefined it later
to mean "uncontrollable tendencies"? It might help if you acknowledge that
you did not communicate your position clearly. I'm sure Bill is a little
frustrated in feeling like he is working with shifting sand.
Peace be with you. David Miller. |
