I was blown away a few years ago when a member of our stake presidency told about how he is always sinning and always having to repent. It is shocking to hear this protestant doctrine taught from the pulpit, especially by those who are "most faithful." I have to agree with Dragon. Once I was converted to the gospel, I truly had no desire to do evil. The doctrine of becoming cleansed and having no desire to do evil is not compatible with the doctrine that we sin constantly and are in constant need to repent.
I have to say that I liked the above mentioned Sunday School teacher's lesson until she kicked her class out of possibly being able to put their names in that scripture. Perhaps it would have been better stated as a goal to maintain and improve upon for those who have received a mighty change in their hearts and as a goal for those who have not felt that change.
