I have a question. When Jesus would tell people to "go and sin no more" is He giving them a command that they can keep or one they cannot keep? I ask this in light of what Paul says in Romans 6.Thanks,sscott
It is possible not to sin. Look at 1 Corinthians 10:13"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."The problem is that we just don't always take the escape provided. The bible never says that it is ok to sin. But, we must also remember that we are not judged on whether or not we have lived a sinless life, but whether or not we believe in the one who had a sinless life.
Jay...I'm talking about the people Jesus told that too while He was on earth. Before they had the Spirit and before the cross.
