Well, today is my middle brothers birthday... Numero 23! Happy birthday bro!

Last night I was hanging out with my parents, and I was telling them about a conversation I had with my discipleship leader. He and I had been reading 1 John together, and he pointed out that if you say that you are a Christian, that means that you should be sinless. Because, in 1 John 1:5-10

"5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all^[b] sin.

8If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives."

Here it says that if we claim to have Christ in us, and we in Him, we can't have any darkness (sin). This is because there can't be any darkness in Him at all. No sin at all.

Again in 1 John 2:6, it says,

"6Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did."

Now, if we clain to be in Him, we must walk as Jesus did. How did Jesus walk? Without sin, performing miracles, praying all the time, healing, etc.

So, what do you think? Let me know if you think it is out of context. I really would like to know other peoples thoughts...
