Anyone who is under the power of Holy Spirit. Not a hypothetical. You asked the question, so I assume there's a point?

So there are Christians who are actually walking around "sinless" because they are "under the power of Holy Spirit"? Is that your view?

So you're cool with God telling man not to kill, while arbitrarily and petulantly killing himself?

Good to know.

When someone dies of old age do you also blame God for 'killing them'?

The way you put it, no. That's not my view.

So, to return to where we were, would it be fair to say - in your view - that regardless of whether people are "with God" or not "with God", no one avoids "sin"?

Were we discussing death by old age or death by petulant deity?

Since God appoints all death are you suggesting one way He does it is good another bad?

So if you were God you would do things differently, I get that. I probably may think so at times as well. But you and I can't see the whole picture, He can. So we really are in no position to judge, are we?

Yes.

I see, because you like one way better than the other like 3+2=5, but you favor 1+4=5
since all ways that we die we end up dead.

Apparently you're not.

Please provide evidence that He sees the whole picture.

So letting a kitten grow old and die naturally is the same to you as randomly feeding such kitten to a bear?

I hope sir you're not in charge of kittens?

By 'see the whole picture' I mean he knows everything. You and I don't know everything.
1 John 3:20. "...God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything."

Sorry, should have said to provide non-fictitious evidence.
