It's actually pretty rare among Christians to believe that this implies that ceasing sinning is possible. The Nazarene denomination is really the only notable group that believes that today.
The more common understanding is that lines like this are meant to drive to despair ("Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?" -Romans 7:24) anyone who thinks they're getting close to perfect obedience. Only the perfect obedience of someone else (Christ himself being the only one fitting that description) is suitable to reach glory.
- ktRolster 10y agoIt's actually pretty rare among Christians to believe that.... I'm kind of doubting that's relevant to the actual meaning of the Bible. For example, the book of John can be seen as patterned on the Greco-Roman mystery religions. How would they feel about that, hmmmm?
- reitanqild 10y ago> The Nazarene denomination is really the only notable group that believes that today. At least not entirely correct. The group I belong to considers this important. We are only a few thousand though.
