Joseph Uhl

Way to read Romans 6 like Romans 7 or 4 for that matter was never written, it's a complete thought that letter sanctification is the work of God alone, we don't make anything holy, we are unholy of ourselves everything we do of our will is sin so this participation in sanctification is Adam's insane fantasy, still trying to save ourselves, both are declared states, justification can't be separated from sanctification and I'm with Paul Romans 4:5
