But of all the sola scriptura adherents on the forum, I just don’t see anyone whom I think is complete in Christ. Almost all of them SAY they are, but it just doesn’t look like it.
I don’t understand why some twist the scriptures to say they are already made perfect in Christ, when it is clear they aren’t. It looks to me like purgatory would do some of them good.
It would sho’ ‘nuff do me some good.
But it doesn’t matter what you think. Or I think. It only matters what Gods says. And He says we ARE complete. There can be nothing added to something that is complete. We are still in our bodies, as long as we live on this earth. Our bodies are the outward man, the very thing we are to put no confidence in. And that is why we look for Christ, who will change our vile bodies and fashion them like unto His own glorious body. We will become in our flesh, what we ARE NOW, in our spirits. It’s not a matter of what we look on after the outward man. It’s what God sees us in, the inward man, in Christ, and in His body.

C'mon Judith...No one is twisting scripture...
You are judging by the outward appearance and thankfully God doesn't judge that way...
Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
So you are not complete in Jesus??? All Christians are complete in Jesus...
Col 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Your sinful body/flesh was put off from your soul by the invisible circumcision of Jesus...The part of you that goes to heaven is no longer connected to your sinful flesh...
