Do you sin, as a Christian?
830708
All Christians sin.  They say it's because they're human and humans will sin regardless of how Christian they are.

If you ask Christ to come in your heart, He does and then gives you a desire to do these other things. You don't have to do anything else to make it to heaven, but you will be held accountable to God for all you neglect to do. The Bible also says 'to him who knowth to do good and doeth it not to him it is sin' Our desire should be to do whatever it takes to be just like Him and to please Him. If you are a Christian and you don't have this desire then you need to talk to God about your walk with Him.

Don't you know that it rains on the just and the unjust?\n\nHave you chosen Christ as Your personal savior?  Have you accepted the baptism of Christ and Gods holy Spirit?\nHave you studied the word of God?

in my opinion no. you confess your sins to God and accept him into your heart and you are forgiven. the sins hang over your head kind of as a reminder to not do them again and that they are wrong

All people sin because we are not perfect and that includes Christians.  We all sin!!  Christians are to confess their sins, be truly repentant, and make a firm resolve to sin no more to be forgiven.  We are forgiven, then we sin again.  Its a cycle but Jesus knows each of our hearts and He alone decides who will receive Salvation and His mercy and forgiveness.  I think it is a little harsh to call them hypocrites because most are trying to live in example of Jesus but because we are human, we fall far short and do occassionally fall into sin.  What I do not believe is the assumption by some that "Once saved, always saved"...that is not true because we cannot claim to be saved and then go on our merry way committing sin and expect forgiveness with no need of repentence and confession, simply on the basis that Jesus died for our sins.....Yes, He did, but He also gave us very clear and concise teachings on how to live our lives as a true disciple.  Look back at Peter...did not Peter sin in denying our Lord three times...but he was repentant and Jesus forgave him.  Bottom line...........We all Sin...its how we deal with it that makes the difference.

But I then go to Church on Sunday, so its all good!!! You should give this bombass religeon a try! Its freakin awesome!

HA HA HA!!! \n\n(This was a rant...Im not really Christian...)

agree....we have morals, values, integrity, and sense of what is right--which may vary depending on the person and situation--but, no... I don't believe that I am sinning, and while a religious cat may say that what I am doing is a sin, it is only a sin only by the fact that he is judging me based on his on belief system.  Ironic of course, I mean doesn't your bible say, "judge not lest ye be judged likewise also,"  or have they removed that section?

Good question. \nLet me see if I can explain.\n\nOkay sin is all sin, but there are 2 "kinds" of sin. There is sin and then there are sins (plural).\n\nAll sin seperates us from God becasue God is perfect and he can't be with sin. So sin always blocks us from him.\n\nWhen we are born, we are born in sin, therefore sin is in our hearts. (To put it another way, we have a root of sin in us) That is why we need to be saved. When we accept Christ, he forgives us and that root (sin) is gone. We are completely forgiven, and we recieve access to God. That is what salvation is.\n\nHowever, even though we are forgiven and saved, we still mess up sometimes because we are human and we're not perfect. In other words, we commit sins. The sins we commit will not keep us out of heaven (becasue we have been saved)but they will keep us from God (because all sin does that). They get in the way of our faith and hinder our prayers. (For example have you ever messed up and felt guilty, then you were hesitant to pray because of the guilt?) Those sins will always get in our way, but as soon as we confess them to God, he forgives them and takes them away. Then the block is gone and he is free to continue moving in our lives. \n\nSo think of it this way, we are saved when we accept Christ, so we no longer have to worry about going to hell. But confession helps us to maintain a good relationship with our father.\n\nLook at it this way. If you have a child, you will love your child no matter what. Hopefully you would discipline your child, but you would never seriously harm them, and you would always protect them to the best of your ability. But if the child decided to rebel, run away from home, and "live a life of sin," it would be harder for you to protect the child, and the child would get hurt along the way. On the other hand, if the child was obediant and respectful to you, it would be easier and the child would be better off (safer, better taken care of becuase you would have the ability to provide better in that case). But you would still love the child either way right. In the same way, God loves us no matter what we do, but as we confess our sins and obey him, we give him more ability to care for us better. If we run away and rebel, he still loves us, but we are on our own to sufer the consequenses that go with the sin we commit. So obviously the best thing for us is to confess and stay close to our father, so that we may recieve the full protection and benefits. (Plus from the parent perspective that's what He wants us to do becasue he wants to care for us closely.)\n\nOf course how you confess is between you and God. Ultimately God is the only one you have to answer to. However confessing to others (whom you trust) often does help becasue it helps us to "walk in the light" and avoid sin. I personally have never been to a formal confession, but I have benefited alot from accountibility partners and groups. In other words I have turned to trusted friends and confessed to them when I needed to. They in turn prayed for me and encouraged me, helping me get through things I needed to get through in life. I would definately suggest hooking up with a person or small group where you can do this.

God would never command such a sinful act that pleases you so selfishly from His people.\n\nPeace.

Dear SteveP,\n\nTo call something Sin is to accept that it is unacceptable to God.  Christians believe that sin has separated them from God and the only way to bridge that separation was through a sacrifice for Sin which was God's only Son Jesus.  And so for the Christian they understand what a great price Jesus paid for their sins and they are grateful and realize that they themselves deserved to be punished for their sins but instead Jesus was punished and so their obedience to God is out of love.  Love for not only what Jesus had done, but love for God's character and who He is.\n\nThe Bible has much to say about those who live licentiously believing that forgiveness gives them the license to do whatever they want.  Those may be hearts that have never truly accepted Jesus -- God knows all hearts and can not be deceived.  So to realize that a person needs Jesus forgiveness will produce a life that aims to please God and live by His standards (though not perfectly- which is why forgiveness, mercy, and grace is necessary).\n\ni hope that helps.  Kindly,\n\nNickster

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.

I am a christian and I think it is fine.  Just because you are christian doesn't mean you can't have fun.  God loves you.  He isn't waiting up there with a big stick ready to hit you everytime you sin.  We are all sinners.  But go have fun.  You are doing nothing wrong.

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.

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!

Galatians 2:17\n17"If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!\n\nSIN.\n\nThe Point of it all is SIN, and yes Sin is serious! We need Christ's forgiveness!

Depends on the Christian and whether they truly understand and follow what the Bible teaches about what a Christian should be. For myself, I think it's fair to say that I do much more good to others than I do harm.
