Romans 7-8 make it clear that Paul had the Holy Spirit but was sinning.
Whatever..keep excusing away your sins with the bible. John lived with Jesus and he said...
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God
He is correct and I no longer sin, it is not hard.
It does not mean cannot practice sin..he clearly means the seed of God simply is too powerful for anyone filled with it to even desire to sin! You and your ilk are part of the apostasy...painful to admit but you are.
