"I am not going to accept the interpretations placed upon this seventh
chapter of Romans by the speaker," said Peter, as he arose to reply.
"Why? Because I never heard it explained that way. Why? Because I
have heard Brother Peters preach from these texts, and he has always
declared a man could not keep from sin. Living free from sin! Whoever
heard of such a thing? It can't be done, that is all there is to it.
We cannot keep from sin. Paul said sin was ever present with him, and
I know it is with me. I try to do right, but sin gets the better
of me. I ask God to forgive me every time I pray. I tell you, a man
simply cannot live without committing sin."
When Peter Newby sat down, Robert Davis arose again, and said:
"There is a text of scripture that says certain persons cannot cease
from sin. I do not say that anyone here fulfills the description in
that text. Peter says, in his Second Epistle, chapter two, verse 14:
'Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin.
