But if Christians cannot do any sin, who is a true Christian then? Does any single act of sin suffice for anyone to be denied of his/her Christianity?

God is Just and cannot change. The wages of sin is death and Jesus has died for his people (shed His blood). That sacrifice is acceptable to God as payment for all our sin (even sin we will still commit) Because God is just He can no longer hold our sin against us if Christ has paid for them. Be careful you don't view this as an excuse to sin. Romans teaches us those who think this way are not saved or forgiven. Those n Christ will try to please Him.

Cause everyone has the right to believe whatever they want to believe and call themselves whatever they want to call themselves.\n\nBesides, Christians, that is just a name given to those who believe Jesus is the Christ, and follow his teaching.  I don't think anyone could actually call themselves a Christian seriously if they do not believe, they are just kidding themselves.

we have all sinned, and therefore all deserve to go to hell.  but that is the beauty of christianity, that it is no doing of your own to go to heven accept for accepting Christ as your lord and saviour.  it is that simple...so whether it is sexual sin, or stealing, or lieing, we have all sinned, and are there for in the same till we ask Christ into our lives...it is that simple.

I would hardly call the Legalized Christian and the Lawless Christian "Christian" at all. \n\nYour right though, but don't forget the Gentiles.\n" I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile." (Romans 1:16)

There is only one true Christianity, the one that worships God in entirity and beliefs in His full infallible word, and takes time to study it and know it, and know what God says, and to obey it.   \nThere are so many different groups calling themselves Christians. For you to be a true Christian, you must first believe in Jesus. He is the reason for the faith. He is the reason we are saved.   \nBut, ppl because of human nature hear something they dont like and they try to make the Bible fit what they want it to say. So, within all churches, you find ppl doing this, and all kinds of beliefs are going on. But, no scripture if of private interpreation. God says that.     Its not what you or I think, Its what God thinks. We can only know that by staying in study and prayer.   to love God enough to obey Him.\nOn this issue of who is God and  who is not, it varies so many ways, but not in scripture, not if you study it ALL.   \nThere are three in the Godhead, a triune God.   1John 5:7  says the three operate as one. This is the triune Godhead. No trinity isnt in the bible, the word itself. But, the words to describe it are.   Titus 2:13  says Jesus is great God and saviour.    Acts 5:3-4 says if we lie to the Holy Spirit, we lie to God.    1 Tim  3:16 says Jesus is God in the flesh and made to preach....   \nso much moreon all of this. Takes time to study and pray and continue studying and praying. But, its the only way we know what God wants for us.   God is the father, Jesus is referred to as His son, and the Holy Spirit is the one that leads to conviction.  He puts things into action.    \nAll three operate as one, and we are to worship all three as one, and noone else.    Its like the Godhead is the Title..... \ntakes much study to get thru all of this. I pray you will do this for yourself.    Jesus came to die for all of our sins that we may be saved. Yet, most mock him and hate Him, and are still tryiing to crucify Him even more today.   He did suffer for us and He died for us. What more do the ppl need?    \nand you will also find that just because a person or a church uses the term Christian, does not mean they are.  I have met ppl using the word Christians that dont even believe in Jesus at all.  and clearly state that Jesus is not God.    Christians are Jesus followers.   so if you dont follow Jesus, how can you claim the title of Christians. Just be leery of who tells you they are Christians. God says by their fruits(actions) you will know them.  Do they follow Jesus, do they love Him , do they obey???? These are the things that will tell you if someone is  christian or not. If you know the Bible, you can spot a true Christian a long way away, because they are  about God and love, and unity of the faith and in the truth.   We can be united, but if its not truth, its not Gods unity.    Study and pray. and soon you will see it so clearly. Doesnt even take long, but takes dedication and persevernece... And worth every bit of time you give to it.   Press on with the Lord.

Sin against the Holy Spirit is the rejection thereof.  It is the only sin that is unforgivable, because in order to commit it you have to turn down Salvation and then all your sins will count

i think just by asking the question realy reveals your answer, because it is impossible to be a christian and a whore as you put it, the bible says how can sweet and bitter water come out of the same fountain, this person needs to come clean with herself first because god knows. then repent, but at the same time we must remember that we are still human and fallible

All people sin because they are sinners.  All people have a moral code yet break it.\n\nChristians have the perfect standard. The Bible.  Since Christians are still sinners, they still sin.  Yes, at times, they even love the sin.\n\nAlthough you may view yourself as sinless, look at your own heart.  It is not pure. \n\nRomans 7:14-15 (NKJV)  \n    For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. [15] For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. \n\nMatthew 18:15 (NKJV)  \n    "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. \n\n\nWe desperately need a savior.

The Bible nor Christianity advocates hurting anyone. It is the people that hurt others. \nPeople make mistakes and people are sometimes hateful without thinking of others and their feelings but noone should b mad at GOD for what people do. \nWe just need to learn to love as Christ did. He loved the person but not the sin and when someone did sin He did not walk up and condemn them to hell he humbly pointed out their wrong ( usually by asking them a question that caused them to stop and think ).

haha not all are. i think it is easy for christians to get that holier than thou thing going because they know they are forgiven if they ask and believe. so this tends to make some people believe they can do what they want even at any cost. be very careful also cause there are a lot of psudo-christians who mascarade as christians just so they have the authority, if even just in their eyes, to run down and degrade non-christians. remember Christ preached love above all else, so if you can't love the sinner how can you honestly say you are christian if you can't practice what Christ preached?\n\ni am a christian and try my best to not be hypocritical when i talk about Christ or in my life as i know i am not perfect just perfectly forgiven. :-)

Sin.by accepting Jesus Christ as your savior

Jehovah's Witnesses are the only true Christians. True Christianity as practiced in the first century and by Jehovah's Witnesses rejects all the paganisms mentioned in your question.\n\n1. True Christianity draws its teachings exclusively from the bible, rather than from philosophy. Doctrines such as Trinity, hellfire, and immortality are not found in the bible.\n(Mark 7:7) It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines commands of men.\n\n2. True Christianity works to make known God's personal name. No group has done more to advocate that name than Jehovah's Witnesses .\n(John 17:6) I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world.\n\n3. True Christianity recognizes the active role of Christ as heavenly King NOW, not just as a storybook character in a manger or dying helplessly. Witnesses look to Jesus as their Head and King who is ruling in heaven already.\n(John 3:36) He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life\n\n4. True Christianity is not just formalism, but is a way of life for its adherents. Jehovah's Witnesses have a real reputation for honesty, integrity, and faith. Their worship shuns pageantry and sacerdotalisms.\n(Isaiah 1:15-17) Even though YOU make many prayers, I am not listening... Learn to do good; search for justice\n\n5. True Christianity is known by its members love for one another. Witnesses do not go to war, and do not take up arms against anyone much less members of their own religion.\n(John 13:35) By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.\n\n6. True Christianity is separate from the world. Unlike the clergy of Christendom, Jehovah's Witnesses remain neutral to human politics and nationalism, looking instead to God's Kingdom through Christ Jesus as the only solution for all mankind's problems.\n(John 15:19) Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you\n\n7. True Christians follow Jesus' command to preach. No religion has more prominently emphasized preaching by all its adherents around the globe.\n(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations

I've taken a look at that question and at the person's profile who answered it. I'm certainly not going to commit the sin of judging someone else but I will say that when someone asks a serious question about how God works in this world a Christian is called to follow the outline given in this portion of Scripture, not that I am using this passage to describe you by any means.\n\n2 Timothy 2:24  And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,  (25)  correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,\n\nThe Scripture also describes the battle that goes on in the lives of every believer that sometimes causes a person to not give a favorable representation of Christ in how they choose to interact with others.\n\nGalatians 5:16  But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.  (17)  For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.  (18)  But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.  (19)  Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,  (20)  idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,  (21)  envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.  (22)  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  (23)  gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.\n\nAnd so if a person doesn't exercise self control and seek to be led by the Spirit of God they run the risk of reacting from their physical human nature and bringing reproach upon the name of Christ.

You are asking for the teaching of the Bible, so the answer is that sin is anything that goes against the will of God.\n\nBy the way, I was going to email you some debates I found, but you have no email and the question is resolved. So, here they are. If I find more, I'll try to get them to you.\n\nhttp://www.thirdmill.org/files/english/practical_theology/PT.HOF_Chuck.Colson.Dialogue_11.03.03.pdf\nhttp://www.thirdmill.org/files/english/practical_theology/HOF_Cary.Smith.Dialogue.Paper_10.27.03.pdf\nhttp://www.thirdmill.org/files/english/practical_theology/HOF.Ra.McLaughlin.Hypostatic.Union.Dialogue_10.20.pdf\nhttp://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/onsite/secularism_exempt.html

This is a very important question.  Yes, it's true that, ideally, every "true christian" should desire to worship God at and with every waking moment.  Unfortunately, it's also true that not a single person on earth is perfect.  "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."\nIt's not a matter of faith, since this person obviously (from what is presented here) believes strongly in God, Jesus, and the whole shabang... it's a matter of overcoming the flesh, the human nature, that is pretty much the basis of all the struggles that all Christians (not just new converts) face.  It's a matter of beating temptation, and I think in you friend's case, it is a matter of beating the temptation to simply believe without acting upon these beliefs both in spirit and in action.  Believing in Jesus and his sacrifice makes you a Christian, but following Jesus and trying to do his will is what allows you to fulfill God's purpose in your life.

True Christians are not. one of the very foundations of Christianity is that the material, physical world is but fleeting; a true Christians reward is to be found in heaven.\n  Hope that helps!
