| Nevertheless, he certainly did have scripture for it:1 John 3:3And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.8 |

| I was taught, in the COG that CHRISTIANS, REAL CHRISTIANS never sin, not 'cannot sin'. I do remember that Christians could make a mistake, BUT NEVER SIN!I don't guess it is the same, but also ABOUT as in error as what you pointed out. I don't know when we 'allowed that Christians do sin', but I have heard it in our churches and read it here on Acts.I have actually met people I believe NEVER SIN, Blessed people with the mind of Christ. But I can count them on two hands.Just wondering, OTCP, do you my friend SIN? Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| This forum would seem to be evidence that AJT was wrong, or surrounded by very good people. How long did the COG keep this in your minutes after AJT's departure? |

| I may be a little daft, but Imma thinking Mat is saying that the COG musta agreed with Bro. Tomlinson for awhile! I guess that goes along with what I was taught as a teen in the 50's. COG folk did not sin! Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| On the subject of sin, WE cannot spin it any other way, the fact is our church, the COG believed taught that when a Christian 'backslid' (sinned, cussed or smoked) he was not a Christian when he did, but a SINNER. So it was not the CHRISTIAN that sinned but a sinner, because a Christian CANNOT sin. Me & thousands of others have seen Fallen Christians, Go to the alter and get RE-saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy GHOST, all in one trip down. WE do not have to do that today, wonder why that is? Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| The issue of cannot sin, etc., is clarified quite well when the Greek present active infinitive is properly rendered in modern English versions, such as with the NIV, for instance: 1 John 3:9No one who is born of God |
