If we managed to achieve perfection and never ever sinned, wouldnt we be next to godliness? I know I regularly slip up in what I say and how I think. But I take stock in knowing my actions are a lot better. Which then made me think that it was better to sin in thought than than in action. No! Sin is sin regardless of what area it is in, so hence here I am. Mr imperfect and more than happy to keep on trying to reach such an impossible goal, all the while seeing 'friends' for ever falling into sin. Excellent blog page by the way, lets see some more interesting theologian thoughts! Well x factor and I'm a celeb has finished just about, what else is there to watch? :-P Surely, as mere mortals we ‘naturally’ avoid perfectionism.

If the Kingdom of God is to fill all the earth when Jesus returns this view implies he's going to have his hands full tended the wounded rather than returning in triumphant majesty! That's not my reading of scripture, and certainly not what I 'enlisted' for. I prefer to think of us taking our 'wounded' with us (i.e. encouraging those who are struggling onward to victory) and restoring them on the march. I agree Trevor.
