You need to be a bit more clear and persuasive in your argument.
I know that as a Christian, if you are a conservative Christian, you don’t think the Bible is a mythological book that is portraying a series of fairy tales. But it does appear as if you believe that the supernatural is a fairy tale or something impractical when it comes to relating it to the 21st century Christian.
I don’t know where you get the idea of perfectionism in my view. I’ve never said that humanity is perfect. Only that it would be a lot less imperfect than Christians show themselves to be by being like your run of the mill human following their own mind or the flesh, if they followed the lead of Jesus Christ and the Spirit. Are you saying that’s an impossibility with man or with God?

MacDuff,
It is simply ignorance to claim that if someone doesn't hold to your extreme view of the "Spirit's leading" then they don't truly believe in the Spirit's power. It's worse than ignorance. It's intellectually dishonest and baiting. I can't believe you really even believe it yourself. It's similar to the argument which says God is not all-powerful if he can't make a rock too heavy for him to lift.
Please drop this line of discussion. It's been batted around enough and is not going anywhere. It is not even discussion. You are simply playing semantical games.
If you persist along these lines in future posts, they will be removed.
