True. As it says in Romans 6:
In other words, stop spreading fake news and misleading quotes. Stop filling this thread with things you know to be false.
We all have a sin nature, that is not going away even if you're a born again Christian. The sin nature will go away once we meet Christ in the air and we are transformed with immortal bodies. Until that day comes, Flagole will tell lies as ALL humans do. As for Flagpole's Christianity, I do not think he has ever accepted the Lord as his Savior. If he has, then I stand corrected.
I was at one time what I would consider a Christian. Even then, I had very liberal ideas about Christianity, so some Christians would say I never was one. I disagree with that stance, and it is part of the reason I left the religion. In my own way of accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, I definitely was on board with that at one point. I still accept the person we now know as "Jesus" as a good teacher, worthy of study and respect. I do not believe he is literally the Son of God.
I am now what I consider to be an atheist. I do not KNOW that there isn't a God, but I do not BELIEVE there is, at least not in the way that Christianity and most major religions portray God. Some might say that makes me agnostic, but I disagree.
This though has nothing to do with whether I lie or not. I do not lie. You are using your perceived perfection of Jesus to show that no person can be in the realm in any way, and therefore, you are permitting lying.
Let's be clear about something...not lying doesn't make me perfect. I am not perfect (though I do try to be and am doing a damn good job at the attempt), but if called out on an imperfection, I will acknowledge it and not lie about it since I do not lie.
Accuser - "Flagpole, did you eat 3 cookies?"
Flagpole - "Why, yes I did."
