That's what I was talking about by rules of sin that his creations have to abide by.They serve only ONE purpose. To show us we will never be like God according to the rules/how hard we work at being like God.
So then the rules/law push us to seek another form of righteousness (other than being found righteous by the rules) The form is called atonement. Where someone righteous by the rules gives us his righteousness and takes on our sins and is punished for it. So we may stand before God as He could stand before God. Without sin/perfect.
Okay, thank you I think we've come full circle now (including your reply to FAF) and back onto familiar ground. I have nothing more to ask at this time so see you next time Tom (or Jerry... never got as far as deciding which was which ).
