cd: In the parable of a clean swine returning to his filth (dirt-as you use
it)-the filth (dirt) is sin and Christ never sinned for the need to be
cleansed or return to sin or ever got any dirt on Himself so to use Him (ie
:someone" in the above) in this manner is error. David do you believe that
we grow to a deeper area of sanctification to where even the thoughts of
sin can be kept at a distance? I do and view Christ as being more Holy than
this type of holiness.Christ came in the lower state for death on the cross
thereby defeating Satan-for victory-not to spend His life warring against
sin in His members- for victory.
