If they did, you'd brush it away.
The Scripture writers left out the obvious...
Mary: "What, Lord? Just HOW do I do THAT?"
Jesus: "It was a test to see if anyone was paying attention. Of course you can't; that's why I came: to be your Savior."
Oh my gosh...Jesus would leave out such an important thing and others like John also saying to sin no more after being reborn....that is really lame.
Affirmative action salvation~ when you have not found nor even believe the true power of what Jesus did for the world; to have total freedom over sin...so you water down the message and lower the standard of salvation. That way you make other poor souls who have also not found full freedom, you allow them to feel better about continuing in their sin state. The teachers who propagate this lie are blind and shame on all of them. How dare they water down the power of our lord’s victory in order to assuage themselves and the masses!
