These days of our lives are full of deception with false preaching and concealing of sin. We pursue prosperity and nice lives instead of Holiness which was primary in the life of our redeemer.
We should be conquerors through Jesus Christ who conquered even death but do we follow in His footsteps of self-denial and a directly strong stand against sin?
Are we throwing 'garments of light' on what the Biblical law clearly forbids and therefore justifying prosperity?
Should sin,the law,judgement,hell in relation to grace be preached more often in our pulpits and also be reasons for a pursuit of holiness?
Does true conversion entail regeneration?

No one said sin is not in the bible, that is not what has been talked about.
Donna you posted several scriptures that are under the old covenant.
Btw The way it the lord Jesus that said I am one of his, and your response is one of gross sin, this makes a great illustration of why people need to know the truth, that they may know what sin is.
PJ, Support your claims with scripture as everyone does.
Without pursuing Holiness how are you a follower of Christ if He was Holy Himself?
Without knowing the sin that we are in (by reading and preaching the law and consequences of doing the wrong as written in the Bible) how will we pursue Holiness?
