No.\n\nSin is a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal law of God. \n\nIn other words, sin is anything that hurts your relationship with God.\n\nSin is a personal act. Moreover, we have a responsibility for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them:\n- by participating directly and voluntarily in them;\n- by ordering, advising, praising, or approving them;\n- by not disclosing or not hindering them when we have an obligation to do so;\n- by protecting evil-doers.\n\nWith love in Christ.

For mainstream Catholics and Protestants, there are minor disagreements on minor points of doctrine. All of the important stuff, like Jesus is the Messiah, totally agreed upon.\n\nSome Catholics and Protestants on the fringes, blow our few disagreements into huge issues and cause much trouble.\n\nWith love in Christ.

--->Is it impossible to get an actual answer?<---\n\nYes actually because you are overlaying a Christian/Western understanding of justification/salvation onto a foreign system.  You cannot do that!  The question is not "are you saved" for a Muslim but rather "are you Muslim?" and "are you being obedient to the Qu'ran/the will of Allah?"\n\nThere is really no need to think about "forgiveness" or being forgiven, just about being Muslim.\n\nThat is why the appeals of Protestant Christianity (which is the "are you forgiven" / "are you saved"....non-Protestant Christians don't ask the questions that way) tend not to work, because there is nothing to be forgiven about if you have. submitted to Islam.  The whole question just doesn't make sense and can be viewed as insulting to Muslims.\n\nYou have to find a different approach if you want to make any headway in a discussion with Muslims over Christianity vs. Islam.

Christians are not goody-goody two shoes or holier than thou. They are sinners. Just like everyone else. Why is that so hard to understand? As long as we dwell in this flesh body we fall short.

If you follow the teachings of Jesus and believe he died as a ransom sacrifice for your sins then you are a Christian. Catholics profess to be Christians. Jehovah's Witnesses profess to be Christians. Davidians I do not know.

No, I've sinned so according to the Bible I deserve to go to hell. BUT, I've accepted Jesus into my heart so that I CAN be let into heaven!!

i'm pretty sure the catholic church would categorize them as sins, especially gluttonous activities like bulimia and binge eating, as they are greedy acts and therefore sins. \nother churches, not so sure, but Protestant churches tend to provide support groups and help for most kinds of ailments or disorders, so they can't have TOO much against them. good luck .

yeah, you're suppose to hate sinning. I never read a verse in the bible that said "Do no hate". If you love sinning then you would sin and thats against God/Jesus.\n\nWe are suppose to forgive/love the sinner (person who comitted the sin, is comitting it) not the actual sin.

i ve been asking this for so long. thank god i am not alone. i am so sick of this anti-catholic bs that has no validity whatsoever.\n\nyou would expect this kind of garbage from the secular world, but i have no idea what these protestants are thinking sometimes.\n\nhere's an idea protestants...why don't you actually learn about the catholic church first. as opposed to just blurting out a bunch of nonsense like we worship mary, and the pope ,etc.  give me a break already. still goin with those arguments?? don't even waste my time then.

I am a Christian. We are no better than anyone else. We don't proclaim to be self righteous. We are sinners saved by grace. The only difference between us and non-believing is we have accepted the free gift of salvation. God loves you and everyone else as much as he loves Christians. Jesus died for sinners. \nWe admit we are not perfect. We will not be perfect till after we are risen from the dead. Difference is we try to live a Christ like life. In the end we will all be judged for every deed we do and every idle word we speak.

We're all born sinners and I hope you feel guilty about it. All those babys in maternity wards are SINNERS, SINNERS, SINNERS.

I don't believe in organized religion, but I believe in God.  Does that make me a sinner that needs to be saved?

Well I'm agnostic but will answer this anyways...\n\nI find this one of Christianity's few logical points.  All people carry some form of greed, arrogance, conflict, etc. in them.  No matter how good a person you are, you WILL sin...its bound to happen.  What the concept of being a sinner means is that Christianity is admitting that its followers will not lead a sinless life (which is realistically true).  Basically, we're imperfect and we know it...but God loves us anyways.\n\nFor non-Christians, its an excuse for Christians to admit they're imperfect while still maintaining that their beliefs are.

When you say someone is sinning or not following your gods way , are you not judging them ? And if so are you not (by your own religious laws) then condemned ? \nIf no one is being harm let them be and treat them as you wish yourself treated... that's your right as a human being regardless of whatever religion you subscribe to.

Being Christian unfortunately does not stop you from being sinful.  I think just tryint to live the life you want to have, but also being a good example to others is enough.\n\nEveryone is sinful, Christian or not, that is why Jesus died on the cross!
