God has given us salvation from our sins based upon mercy, not merit.

For actions. God creating time - for starters.

Is there no merit in not "sinning"?

Show me anyone who has "not sinned".

And you call yourself a pragmatist.

@fmf said
I said nothing about anyone who has "not sinned". In response to what KellyJay posted, I asked "Is there no merit in not "sinning"?" The question is about the word "merit".

@kellyjay said
Yes but do you know anyone who has lived a sinless life?

Suzianne and KellyJay, there either is merit in not "sinning" [when one could] or there is not merit in not "sinning".

That isn't what I am asked you about. According to your beliefs about "sin", is there merit in not "sinning"? You believe you are "saved" by your god figure and that you are "saved" regardless of "merit".

@fmf said
I don't know anyone who both believes in "sin" and believes that they don't "sin". If there were a person who did not "sin", could that be described as of "merit"?

@kellyjay said
Yes any of us can go to God for His mercy regardless of our merits, because all of us do not deserve His mercy. We are all sinners and totally undeserving of God’s grace. Yet Christ laid down His life for us due to God’s love for us, not because we were worthy.
