PapaJim I agree with Island_Gecko...to a degree. If you continue following conventional medical procedures...no, there will not be a cure for cancer...ever. It is rare that a true "cure" comes out of the medical-phamaceutical community (the last I remember is...

PapaJim Hi, Paul, It is good to see that you have reached such a level of understanding about our duty as a Christian. Take heart in 1 Peter 4. We will suffer for His sake and, considering what Jesus did for us, it is all gain for His glory.

Sin.

baronarthur @baronarthur (4187) • Indonesia 17 Nov 06

It's not because I commit a sin than I am a sinner, but because I am a sinner, then I commit a sin. What do you think? I think it's true. That's explain why we always do the sins.

commit

sin

sinner

PapaJim It's true. Since the Fall, we as human have always had the propensity to sin. It is only through God's grace and Jesus' sacrifice that we are forgiven. We have an awesome and loving God.
