You might want to inform a number of believers who hang out on the Bible Debate forum of this. (Texas, trettep, Wilbur(?), maybe Di?)
They're there.

Yehu what I am Trying to say is that it is possible not to sin. Not that it is impossible to sin.
:::::::::::::::
I agree that all power comes from God.

Well that might be your idea, but this is what is written:
1Jn 3:9 KJV Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Yehu

My brother in Christ,
I've been meaning to bring this subject up to you, and here you've brought up the subject.
Abraham perfectly obeyed the commandments? Moses perfectly obeyed them?
Moses took another man's life. His reason may have been just but it was murder all the same. He also disobeyed a direct command of God in a fit of anger.
Abraham told a lie. He told a king that Sarah his wife was his sister. Furthermore, he was willing to let this other man take Sarah as his wife, which would make him responsible for causing his wife to become an adulteress.
Yet scripture testifies that Abraham was perfect before God and that he walked in all God's commandments. And the writer of Hebrews wrote that Moses was faithful in all God's house.
Brother Surfer, you had better reexamine your definition of walking in obedience to the commandments of God. I would suggest reading Hebrews 11 to find the reason Abraham was perfect before God. From there, think about what God really looks at when finding whether a man is obedient or not. Moses and Abraham had character flaws just like the rest of us, and scripture documents them. They straight out broke commandments. Yet God testified that they were perfect before Him.
You also mention Job. God testified that Job was righteous and perfect. Yet God found fault with him on one occasion, and rebuked him sharply. What did Job do wrong?
Do you really think it was obeying all the 10 commandments, especially going to church on Saturday, that made these men perfect before God? What does scripture really indicate made them perfect before God? |

Yes
::::::::::::::::
But to those born of God, for those not born of God it is Not impossible to sin, until they are born again.
::::::::::::::::
From this passage one might think that there is no sin since it is impossible to sin. But it is possible to sin, since not all are born of God.
:::::::::::::::::
I also did not say that it is not impossible to sin.

...and perhaps most significantly, though Moses had killed an Egyptian in his outrage at the oppression of his fellow Israelite, the scripture says that God spoke with him face to face! |

I think you make incorrect assumptions about me and others, brother. Please ask me before you post incorrect assumptions about me in the future. Thank you.
Love, Di |

Sure, but an assumption would not have had the question mark. I was just wondering out loud. No disrespect intended.
Sorry my scorecard is incomplete. So hard to keep track. I had actually pegged you as Christadelphian, but I make no claims of inerrancy (eh.. 100% inerrancey).

Can you see some who wouldn't consider that killing as murder?

No problem here either.
Dear Yehu,
However, I would like to be pegged as a born-again, washed in the blood of Jesus Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit believer. My denomination is superfluous to any discussions that I may have in these forums.
Thanks a bunch.

Not a problem Di, I am quite aware that someone may attend a particular church and yet have heated points of disagreement with their official doctrine.
That’s sort of how new denominations split off all the time.
Such “pegging” to any denomination is just common shorthand. It takes a lot of work to fill out a doctrinal chart for each and every person one may encounter. That’s why stereotypes are so useful. They save massive amounts of thinking, and usually get good “rule of thumb” results. (As long as one is aware of “exceptions to the rule.”)

What made them perfect was their love for God, which resulted in doing whatever God wanted them to do.
Love, is the motivating factor for keeping all the commandments, including the 7th day sabbath.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
| Quote: | | What does scripture really indicate made them perfect before God? |
14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. |

And do you include circumcision in that list of commandments?

Brother Surfer,
this isn't any kind of answer. This is another passage telling us that God has those who are without blame before Him. I asked on what basis are they without blame. Unless you're trying to say they are without blame just because they are 7th Day Adventists? 
I have shown that the men of faith of the old testament were perfect before God, and were recorded as having kept all His commandments, though they had failures in honesty, integrity and obedience.
I think this indicates that you need to reexamine the definition of the keeping of the commandments of God. And consider what John really meant when he wrote of those who kept the commandments of God in Revelation 14 and 22, in the verses you like to quote to us. |
