Would any of my fellow belivers like to give me evidence of God EVER calling a believer a sinner? God gives several distinctions between righteous people and sinners. For instance, "But go and learn what this means; 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." (Matthew 9:13) "If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner!" (Proverbs 11:31) "You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness." (Romans 6:18) I could continue, but my point is, if the Bible says we have been set free from sin, God calls us RIGHTEOUS and not sinners, then why do many christians say that they are still sinners. Can you provide biblical proof? And not proof that christians occasionally sin, because I know we occasionally do. I'm talking of actual biblical proof that born again Christians still have the title of 'sinner' even after our conversion.
