That you dodged the question leads me to believe your answer is no.

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

After so many examples, we are seeing your postings as a means to obfuscate, but as yet we do not know whether you are obfuscating so your beliefs will not be exposed or if you obfuscate because in your mind you are our teacher, and thus you disdain entering into frank communication.

I would ask if you actually comprehend the following which you have now posted more than once without any explanation: And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

Your cryptic posting method leaves us seeing you as unable to understand the complexity of the passage thus unable to explain it. As a catholic 'apologist' do you even believe someone can be 'in Him' in this life, without having trudged through catholic purgatory? As a catholic apologist, do you believe it is possible to be keeping His commandments though having sinned during a day? Using your obfuscatory methodology, are you expecting us to be as clueless as you seem happy to be?

The question remains you keep avoiding....

do you personally 100% of the time keep all of the commandments....and btw, as you're resorting to the OT, do you keep all of the Law perfectly?

It's a yes or no.

If you won't or can't it tells me your answer.
