No.

Yes.

Ray spoke on this matter, but somebody else will have to find it.

Both of those answers assume you have been given power.  Both of those answers are also with the understanding that even in your weakness, HE shows His power.

I also don't believe that stopping sinning is, by itself, the meaning of life and existence.  I'd liken that to a very sick man being cured of his illness, but going about the same meaningless life he lived before.  He tells us the meaning of life and existence right in the beginning of the book.  This work He is doing in creating mankind in His image is multi-faceted.  It is not either-or.  To be "like Him" is to be "without sin".  But it is much more than that, too.

It was the last part of the 2009 Mobile conference...The two audios labeled THEONEGOD

I'm not sure why they're titled that, because Ray talks about what we think, and how we overcome sin, not about God being One...

If you would rather read the transcripts here is the link for that:

(scroll down to near the end, start at "Audio 10")

Mike Gagne:
