Here's a question....As a Christian am I a saint?
OR am I a sinner?
Can I be a saint and sinner at the same time?
You see, I know I sin, surely that makes me a sinner....
But, also I know that God calls me to become more like Christ (Phil 2) , who in very nature was and is sinless...
any answers??

Great to see you back in the blogsphere.
Perhaps a saintly sinner.......or a sinning saint.........
Interesting day.....
Both is what we are....
Luther helpful oringinated the view that we can never be solely one or the other.... We are simultaneously righteous and sinner (here's the latin bit! - Simul Iustus et Peccator).
Romans 7 keeps us from indulging either either extremes...
Jon, so until we make it home to heaven we'll always be both!
