When I was a kid I lived pretty good and happy life. I still remember that feeling of peace and joy. Things like love was so natural for me so I just lived my life with the parents in my "natural" way. BUT by the certain age some people start explaining to me about the sin and that I am full of sins... Since then I still do not realize what I am sinful for.... No, I know all that stories from the Bible and other books about the sin.... However, I feel bad when I have to put myself in the position when "I am such a sinner, and the only salvation for me is Christ or whoever else" Because I do not feel I am a sinner..... Well I did some "sins" it is true.... But it is so wiered to place yourself in a position of "sinner" when you do not feel that you are the one.... and all is for the satisfaction of some people..... However, I do not feel it... I think it is hipocricy to present the things that you do not feel as if you do.... Anyone feels the same?

To trentroy: May be I am a saint, may be I am a sinner... It is not up to you. By the way the same kind of things people told Jesus. Aren't you from Nazareth? Are you the one aren't you? No, my dear, I am not Jesus, I do not know if I am saint. My name is Alex and if you are sure I am to burn in hell for not admitting you are right... I have nothing to do with it.

Some people sin more than others and have more to overcome. The tendency to sin has been passed to everyone by the original sin. When you sin, you make sin your own or confirm sin in your own desires or will. That is what repentance and reading God's Word is for - they let in Jesus Christ and your sin is pushed away from your center.

Yes, I felt the same. That is why I left the Christian church when I was a teenager. I believe in the miracle of existence and the divinity of the Soul that God created in each of us. Christianity is an outdated teaching. It was very effective for legislating morality to the primitive tribes, but the concepts of sin and corruption are not healthy for the modern world.

No, I'm a sinner and I know it. Maybe you're a saint? No??? I've never met anyone who didn't ever sin, we all do it. I only know of one who never sinned, and I'm sure you're not Jesus.

Keep walking towards the light! You are almost free from the bonds of the supernaturalists. Remember Neo waking up in the matrix, all those cords attached to his body? It's the same for you, except those cords are religious teachings.

I do not beleive in 'born in sin' and that solidified for me the day I peered at my newborn daughter. There wasn't anything so new or pure in my life. She was complete innocence. My suggestion to you is find a new religion that is more compatible with your beliefs.

Many people do, pretty much all of them non-christians. What you describe is one of the feelings that often leads people to switch religions, or get rid of religion altogether.
If you feel that it's wrong, perhaps you should consider: maybe it *is* wrong.
