Nope.

Yup, right here.

Your obsession with "perfection" reveals a certain anxiety, Kosta. Relax.

LOL. There is no obsession with perfection, except by people who claim to be walking saints.

Than you should appear perfect!

But you still seem to be seeking "convincing."

When people talk fantastic tales I ask for substantive proof the way you would (I hope) if I were insisting on pink unicorns on Jupiter. :)

Read your Bible and pray for ears to hear

Hear what?

You misunderstand Paul.

I can say "I breath" but that does not imply that I am not continuing to breath AFTER I make that statement.

Men are sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and that sanctification continues throughout a lifetime.

Justification is a one-time event where Christ on the cross paid for all the sins of His flock.

Sanctification is the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit whereby He works to align us with God's will and Christ's righteousness all the days of our life.

"Read your Bible and pray for ears to hear"

Hear what?

The truth found in God's word.

"But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." -- John 10:26-29
