If it is in our nature to sin, why bother trying to stop. For that which we resist, persists.?

The concept of sin was made up to control people. 'If people don't stop doing it when I tell them to, maybe they will when God tells them.'\n\n\nThere's no such thing as mistakes or failure, only feedback.

Sounds like you think that you can purposely go out and sin (knowingly, willingly), repent and all is okay....your are leaving out believing in God...when you believe in God, your sins will be fewer and fewer with each passing day compared to what you were capable of before finding Christ!\nThere is a big difference....don't think for a minute that you can sin on purpose, repent and all is okay....you gotta be trying to live a Christian life along with the repenting!

We let others sin go right by us ... we sweep their evil under the rug and endure all their iniquity.  Lets also look hard in the mirror and when the evil is our own, do the exact opposite and make sure to go and make ammends for our wrongs before doing anything else.\n\nKeep turning the other cheek and take the spot least availible always putting others first.\namen

When God saved me, He forgave me of all my sins. Past, future, and present. He made me a new person. I have no desire for sin. However, as long as we live in this sinful world, and have these sinful bodies, we will have sin in our life. We have to walk close to God, and ask Him to help us to resist all evil, and temptation.

It is commonly thought that all human beings (with the possible exceptions of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary) have sinned at some point and are in need of repentness and forgiveness.\n\nThe fallen nature of humans that makes it so easy for us to sin is called Original Sin.\n\nEven very holy people increase their efforts to be more and more Christlike.\n\nWith love in Christ.

to allow the flesh to rule in our lives, giving into lust,greed, jealousy, hatred etc, we are held in bondage to sin. when we have overcome these fleshly emotions and actions, we are free, from guilt of sin, we are at peace, we can learn to love without expectations and demands.\nI hope this is what you were looking for.

i don't think we can ever prevent suffering.because it is part of our life.but what we can do is to console those who suffers,like give food to the hungry,cloth the naked,comfort the sick,etc.but the best of all,our mission is to lead others to Christ, so that they may be able to find Christ in their life.to find peace in the midst of all sufferings.

That guy who asked that question you're talking about was confused.  If anyone really does think that, it may be because we avoid, or should avoid, many sins that the world thinks are perfectly OK.  Maybe they mistake our healthy "fear" (submission and reverence) of God, for a general unhealthy fear of life.

The scripture is taken out of context as quoted above.  The verse is in I Corinthians.  It says, "There is no temptation taken you but such as is common to man.  But, God is faithful.  He will not allow you to be tempted above what you can bear, but with the temptation will make a way of escape that you might be able to bear it."  (I'm quoting from memory King James version, so it's not exact)  The verse promises that God will make a way to escape temptation.  It doesn't say he will force us to take the avenue of escape.  That is entirely up to us.

the bible says we all sin and therefore fall short of the Glory of God. for any man to sit here and judge sins of others would be to commit sin himself. i believe if a person has a personal faith in Christ and God they will come to know their own sin by reading God's word and allowing the Spirit to guide them in life. until that time we are to love the sinner, pray for them and minister to them of God's grace in our life that God may do His job in their heart, not condem them.

You have to try your best to turn away from your sins.  Sometimes they take time to get out of your life like addictions.  God allows for growth and gives us times "to work our salvation out with fear and trembling".   If you just don't care and you go out carousing because you once said the sinners prayer and think you have your free ticket to heaven, then no.  You won't be going to heaven.  But if it's a continual sin that you continually work on and pray about, that's different.  God will help you to conquer it.  God bless you.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that, but I'll give it a shot. \nJames 2:10-11 tells us that "if we shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, we are guilty of all" and thus we become a trangressor of the law. The bible teaches if we would not have injustice done to us, than we should not commit injustice. But we're imperfect sinners, we make mistakes from time to time like everyone else, however we try hard to become more perfect through Christ, to follow His example of perfect righteousness!

the only thing we stop doing are things that we are convicted of and only through the power of the spirit that lives in us can we even do that much. We have a new nature and our old ways we begin to loathe but we still have a flesh  that wrestles with the spirit, and basically we want to live a better life than before but we will not hit the mark until we are home with Christ. For example i use to be addicted to porn, drugs alcohol and sex. but I have been freed by Christ of these things, but I still have other sinful ways like jealousy, gossip and stuff like that, things i don't even want to do sometimes I still find myself doing. Through the power of Christ in me I will not go back to living an ungodly life style, BUT alone I would slide back into it, and I know that so I stay with Christ and in the mean time he will show me other things that need to change in my life and he will help me to overcome those things too until at last in his presence I will be made complete.

you are posing the same idea that Lucifer did to Eve. That God had some evil intent in His edict. Why or why not eat of the tree is not the issue. God could have just as well of said "Do not pee where the grass does not grow" The real issue is whether to obey God or not. The exercise of free will as according to Gods plan was initiated here so that after the full consequence of self interest is evident and the world is impacted as it has been God could then show that the exercise of the will by choosing to Love God through Christ would be possible, to the intent that the manifold wisdom of God might be known by the church to the principalities and powers in heavenly places.

God feels the same way about this that He does about mastication.  It's a natural thing that actually is a genuine part of being a man, but if you make it the center of your life it becomes sin.

We see evil as being the very nature of mankind. Our flesh remains in that nature. We always struggle to bring it under submission to the spirit..  That is what that Christian was saying...   Jim

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.
