No. I am not.

Is that because of myself, or any inherent righteousness of my own, or due to anything I did, or could do? No. In myself, I am nothing and have nothing. No righteousness, no strength, no hope. I am, in myself, bankrupt, destitute, wretched, miserable, poor, blind, naked, wicked, contemptible, condemnable and damned. As you are. In that respect, you are I are no different.

But now...

I am in Christ. Now and forever. God has declared me as having died with His Son, having risen from the dead with His Son, and am seated at God's right hand in His Son. Because of all that -- because of what He did for me -- I have been forever separated from sin and from God's condemning Law.

So no...I, the new, real me that has been created in Christ, is not a sinner. That is the only "me" I'm to give any thought to because that's the only "me" God now sees.

Your turn.

our sins are not forgiven
until we repent, ask for forgiveness, and forgive others

If that be so, it's because you're not in Christ. One cannot be in Him and be unforgiven and unjustified of all sin. Sorry. It's your eternity. Have it your way.

Romans 7:17 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

here paul is explaining original sin
we know we can't stop sinning
but
we know we can't stop trying to not sin
and
we know we need help for that
we know we must ask for that help
so
you are still sinning

You are talking to "true and saved" Christians. They believe they cannot sin.

That's what OSAS doctrine is all about.

What part of " as far as the East is from the West" do you not understand?

((( That's "NOT" What Christ ended up Saying )))!!

In the Body of Christ there IS NO SIN!!! - That is, (( "IF" )) You are in the Body of Christ!!

Now ( PROVE THAT WRONG )!!!!

so why is dialogue so difficult?

I can only speculate

I love it when you speculate

we don't agree on terminology

like what?

salvation, forgiveness, and redemption

aren't they the same?

not at all

how do they differ?

first comes redemption

is that for everyone?

yes

then what?

repentance

is that necessary?

absolutely

then what?

forgiving others and forgiveness

then salvation?

yes

well said.

Jesus commands us to be perfect. We cannot achieve it while we are alive but Jesus still expects us to aim for perfection.
