In the second you say after finding christ christians continue to sin. Do you not see the contradiction? Are you really that dense?If you go back and read beyond the part you emboldened. You will note that I said "The attonement of Christ inoculates one from furture sin." this means the grace extended by Christ on the cross was a one time deal. no other 'inoculations' needed. This does not mean one will not be 'bitten by the zombie/sin' ever again. It does however mean if one is bitten he will not "turn."
There are more contradictory statements within your posts. Bolding mine.

If your infected even alittle then you can not mix with the rest of the population.
You can't say well I am infected with the Zombie virus, but I give to unicef generously. or I am indeed infected but I'm basically a 'good person.'
Eternity with God is of a pure/set apart nature (Which is what the word holy actually means) that will not allow for anyone one inffected with the Zombie virus of sin into 'healthy soceity'/Heaven
Quote:...and here you are again, saying that they do.
Again two ways into heaven sport. One never be bitten by sin/Zombie.
Two take the zombie/sin cure offered by Christ on the cross.
Do you understand now?
If you can live an absolutly perfect life one does not need Christ, and therefore does not need to be 'Christian.' However we all have sinned therefore we need the 'cure' offered by Christ on the cross. And when we have it we no longer have to worry about being bitten by the Zombie/sin ever again because we have been inoculated from the effects of the sin virus.

It's called putting my work back into it orginal context...
