You mean like when they say “IF” you sin after being Baptized?

If you don’t think we and the earth are still under the curse of sin just go look in a field for some thorns or thistles trust me they are still plentiful.

It appears that they think they can reform the old sin nature and get it to stop sinning.

They can’t.

That’s why we’re given, by God, a new, sinless nature, one that is alive spiritually and is without sin.

Then when this body of ours dies and the last of our sin nature is gone, all that’s left is the new sinless nature we were given. The one that is already seated in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

Catholics talk about getting to heaven and finding out when they die if they made it.

God tells us that if we are His, born again believers, we are already there seated with Him. We were transferred into the kingdom of the Son he lives when we were saved.
