Many of you by now will know of ThinkofOne's constant talk of how sin must be overcome in order to gain salvation. He supports this with familiar quotes from Jesus that I will not quote again because he has put them out there 100's of times.
You will also know that ToOne is quite a black and white fellow so I'm assuming that he means that sin must be overcome 100% ( and not 99% ) and that this overcoming is and "all or nothing" thing.
My question is not about this theology or this issue but about whether you think ToOne has actually overcome sin himself in the way he preaches about using the words of Jesus?
I ask this because he's pretty clear about his view on this issue but simply won't say whether he has actually achieved it himself ie -- the very thing he seems to be exhorting many of us to acheive.
So I'll start. My personal view is that ToO hasn't actually overcome sin himself in the way he describes and that he refuses to say whether he has or not because he fears it would undermine his position and make him look a bit silly. When I make this assumption he accuses me of lying but at the same time still refuses to answer the question. I'm interested to know if my assumption is crazy of not.
So has ToO overcome sin and gained salvation through righteousness? Or is he just talking the talk without walking the walk?
(You could of course ask him yourself if he practices what he preaches but don't hold your breath)
