“Yes it is the same.”

No, it isn’t. I bet you’re often obedient to God. Does that mean you’re sinless?

“Just what do you think sin is?”

Violating the laws of God.

“And there’s only one way to be sinless.”

Hebrews: “Although he was a Son, he LEARNED OBEDIENCE through what he suffered; and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.”

Jesus “being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by BECOMING OBEDIENT to the point of death, even death on a cross.” (Philippians 2:8)

Jesus was sinless by His nature. Jesus was obedient by His choice. Now, someone who is sinless will be obedient to His Father, but that doesn’t mean sinlessness is obedience. And Scripture says it is His obedience that was key.

You, of course, presented not a single verse to back up your erroneous claim. That apparently isn’t going to change either.

I don’t mind teaching you Scripture. Somebody has to. It’s pretty apparent you’re not going to be making a case actually based on Scripture.

So tell me, do you think it’s possible to be sinless and not be obedient?

To do something that is neither sin nor obedient?
