live free from sin?

Answer 1

No. The list of sins is long and involved. It chages with every new Pope and version of the Bible.

Sins happen, people are not perfect. Just do the best you can. If God is just and all knowing he's gonna forgive you for looking at your neighbors wife's.....begonia garden.

Answer 2

My first question would be: What makes you so sure that you are saved? How do you know?

Logically, I would surmise that a "saved" person would not be prone to sin whereas an "unsaved" person would be. My next question is, if you are a "saved" person and still sinning what good is it to be saved?

Is it possible that you and most Christians proclaim to be saved when in fact you are not?

Too many Christians have the mistaken notion that salvation is automatic - it's in the bag, as it were. The truth is that salvation is not a mechanical process which can be won simply by professing a belief in Jesus as your savior, attending church or doing outer things right according to some doctrine or dogma.

True salvation is self-elevation from a state of believing that you are seperate from God with a mortal sense of identity to a state that you know and have truly become One with God and have a sense of your spiritual identity.

Getting to this point is not done overnight nor in a single born-again experience but rather by a step by step process of walking the spiritual path back to God.

The reason that Christians or anyone for that matter sins, is because they have fallen in their consciousness to be believe they are seperate from God. In the state of seperation, they cannot discern the will of God (which really is their will of their Higher Self). They can only judge what is right or wrong by a relative standard, and therefore virtualy everything they do "misses the mark" (the Hebrew translation of sin) because they cannot see the absolute standard of God or the Mind of Christ.

Until Christians are willing to pull the beam out of their own eyes and like Paul, be willing to "die daily" meaning dailiy surrendering a part of their mortal sense of identity, they will continue to sin, whether they think they are saved or not.

There is a tremendous victory that can be won by all, but they must be willing to walk the narrow way that leads to the gates of infiinite expansion when you "let that mind be in you which is also in Christ Jesus."

Man, save thyself!

Answer 3

Nobody can live free from sin. The Bible's requirements are too insurmountable for any human being to withstand.

Even if you faithfully go to church every Sunday and Wednesday and faithfully pray every day of the week including grace before having your meals, as long as you look down on other people because they may not believe the way you do or act in a way you don't approve, YOU'RE SINNING!!

I'm sure you heard of "Judge not lest ye be judged...." To me even if you follow the rest of the scriptures to the letter, if you fall short on this one, YOU'RE SINNING!!

So no, nobody is free from sin, and no matter how hard you try, you'll never be able to live up to the Bible's expectations. It's way too unrealistic, for a human being.

Answer 4

A saved person IS free of sin. We were set free from the Laws of sin and death. though just like Paul says in Romans 7, our flesh is still under the law. We will all still sin, some will sin less than they used to but we will all do it. We just cannot live IN sin, we always need Jesus and to repent.

Answer 5

I don't believe we can live free from sin. I believe though that when we sin and ask for forgiveness we are given it. Remember, if you've ever checked out a pretty girl or a hot looking guy, you are sinning.

Answer 6

As a human being, we all stumble in our lives. From a Christianity standpoint, we can only become free from sin so long as we repent, but this is something we must continue to do...since we all continue to sin. So yes, we can live free from sin so long as we continue to repent as we sin...but no, even after being saved, we are not perfect.

Answer 7

The old sin nature is not removed from us regardless of our spiritual walk. There is no such promise in the Bible. Even the missional Apostle Paul struggled with sin as recorded in Romans 7. I have never met anyone who has complete victory over sin in any situation. I have never met anyone that knew anyone who has reached sinless perfection. The office of the Pope over the centuries claimed infallability, but they pushed away from that knowing the complete and utter fallen nature of man.

Answer 8

We have to power to be free from the dominion of sin, but it's impossible not to commit a sin for any length of time. That's because we can commit not only sins of commission, but sins of omission, and sins in our thoughts and attitudes.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Answer 9

No. Everyone sins and will always sin. That is why Christ died for our sins so we can be saved. I think once someone is saved they will live a better life but no one is perfect. That is why we still repent and ask for forgiveness.

Answer 10

If you were of the Christian Faith you would now that the answer is No...

only one, in mortal flesh has ever lived sin free. That was, and is, Jesus The Christ. The rest of us have to do the best we can in this mortal world... And praise Jesus for all eternity, If you are of The Faith, That He paid The Price for your sin debt.

Answer 11

We all live free from sin. Sin is a concept which means to transgress against the wishes of a god, and if no gods exist then it is meaningless. Since there's no reason to suppose that any gods really exist, there's no reason to suppose sin exists either.
