Re: contradiction?
The doctrine that all are sinners or all are prisoners of sin is not in harmony with God's word either.
You don't have to believe me, all you have to do is read the Bible as a whole, not as oneliners to support doctrine, dogma, or tradition.
It's all right there in front of you.
If the Bible itself purports that humans aren't prisoners to sin, what was the point of Christ?

Re: contradiction?
This line of reasoning implies that the Bible is internally consistent. If the Bible was written by one person with a single agenda, or proven to be based on one account of factual events then such an assumption might be warranted. Since the Bible is based on multiple allegorical accounts of events of dubious veracity there is cause for serious doubt of that premise.
I realize this, which was why I was asking for a response from PurpleDawn to support his line of reasoning, which obviously assumes the Bible is internally consistent.
The point of my post was to show that it's not.
