."How can a person be rightious and sinful at the same time?
How can a person be holy and sinning continualy all the time?
1 thess. 5:23; makes no sense to these statements above"
Can a righteous person fall into sin, thereby making him as sinner and cut off from God, then this sinner repents and is forgiven and brought back into the fold?
I know these conditions are not possible at the same time, one is either one, a sinner cut off, or the other, righteous and in Jesus, but when I read of what Peter did, cursing and denying Jesus three times, then repenting and being forgiven, doesn't, 1 Thess. 5:23, "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." make the repentant sinner blameless until he sins again?
"“a righteous man falls seven time, but gets up again.” Is the number 7 times the limit? What if a man falls 70 X 7 times, after being baptized, and repents 70 X 7 times, does that make him un-holy for ever, without hope?
