"Dub" Dellinger Age 95 Am I Perfect Lord Why are so many preachers afraid to talk about the word Perfect. There can only be a couple excuses for it. Not knowing the bible is one. Paying more attention to their denomination than the souls of the congregation is another, and they will use the flesh which never has been crucified by the saviour as an excuse to sin. If you listen to the flesh, your biggest enemy, you are in big trouble. Your flesh can slay you, and put your soul in hell, but only if you listen to it. Why do you think that our Living God gave us a conscious mind to work things out, and nerves in our body to feel with, and a soul that can not be destroyed? It too can suffer punishment. Lies are of the flesh and is the first thing that the flesh uses in most people at a very young age, even when they are not old enough to be accounted for as sin. Maybe you have never given it a thought, but this is how the enemy of your soul creeps up on you and you have to sometime in life see this, or come to a reality that the devil is in control of in your life. You have to ask a true and living God to get you away from satan. There is no way you can do it yourself. You can say I am going to do better and soon that wears out. You and I are no match for the devil and never can be. Only Jesus as Lord and Saviour has this power. When we see what is going to happen to our soul at death then we want to do something about our condition. Only a true Saviour who went to the cross and paid the price with his shed blood for you as a sinner can clear things up and make you perfect, in his sight. Any time you cross over he is your advocate to call on, always ready to forgive when it comes from the heart. 1 John 2:1 says: "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:" You can not practice sin and expect to get to Heaven. Don't fool around with your soul. It is simple with a True and Living God, you can live the life He wants you to. You can be fooled, and you can fool others, but you can not fool an all knowing God. Stay prayed up with your Saviour and you are perfect in your Saviour's sight. Sin is held against you. Even if you know to do good and you don't carry it out it is a sin. Let's be aware that in an authentic bible, thirty three books of it uses the word perfect. That is exactly one half of a real Holy Ghost Bible. We find out that perfect is walking in all the knowledge of Christ that we have, and that is all our Lord expects out of us. Our Saviour never expects more out of his children than they can testify to. Through our testimony we get Salvation, and in Salvation we have Life Eternal with God and Son.
