How come you cant sop sinning?

Question

Maybe all these atheist and non-believers dont believe in christianity is because all these so called "saved folks" dont act saved,so they think theres nothing to it and its all a joke like seeing benny hill touch ppl and blow on them and they fall out and roll around on the ground(not saying that people dont move under the influence of the Holy ghost)but its foolishess he has ppls money in his pocket! .half of christians dont even read there Bible,they couldnt tell somebody how to be saved because there not saved...or how to live right because they cant live right. what a shame..But i know Jesus can deliver you and if you wanna be saved he can show you how to be if your not a Lazy christian.

Benny hill or Benny Hinn,ya know what i was saying, And dont Say everyone sins because you dont know everybody

Answer 1

You can stop sinning, but you've got to be transformed by the holy spirit. Basically, you've got to see things from a totally different perspective. Its called a paradigm shift.

Many of these lazy christians that you talk about are still living under the belief that they can and must be righteous on their own. So, obviously, they fail.

Christians were never meant to be more than instruments of God's power. Anything "religious" we do under our own power is bound to have disastrous consequences, to include abject failure, which results in others being discouraged and giving up.

Answer 2

Yes Christians are a joke as are all other religions.
But it isn't because you babble undeciferable gibberish in a language that does not exist, roll around on the ground pretending to be an epileptic or being just flat out hypocrits.

It is because religious people follow a religious text book that they consider "infallable truth" or the "word of god" etc... Not only that but the religious also believe that their god is a kind/benevolant/good god. This simply is not the case according to their own religious texts.

For instance:

The Bible says that the world has corners (Isaiah 11:12) and that it sets on pillars (I Samuel 2:8). It says that God accepted a human sacrifice -- he may have prevented Isaac's, but he allowed a general to sacrifice his own daughter without even a murmur, the text giving tacit support to the idea that having given his word, the man had to kill his child. (Judges 11:30-39). It clearly maintains that genocide is often commanded by God (Joshua 10:40-42 and I Samuel 15: 2, 3 and 8) and that, after killing all the adults in a race, taking the female children as sex slaves is permissible (Numbers 31: 17-18).

The God revealed by the Bible is not only both a liar who doesn't know the natural laws of his own world, and a monster, as shown above -- but he has no real regard, even for his own people, whom he forces into cannibalism (Leviticus 26: 27-29) when he is mad at them; or his priests, whose faces he wipes with dung (Malachi 2:1-3).

It is not only gays and lesbians that are hated by bible-god -- though they are the focus of many of the fundamentalists. This monstrosity also suggests killing kids who eat or drink too much (Deuteronomy 21: 18-21), and says that if he is angry with parents he will kill their children (Leviticus 26:22) and he blames things upon children whose great-great-great grandfathers committed the things being blamed on the kids (Exodus 20: 5).

Putting it in a word, god is a monstrosity, a horrific demiurge of evil. Something that even he admits ( Isaiah 45:7 ) [Furthermore, the word used in Hebrew for evil, the word ra' is widely conceded to mean a number of different things: It can mean "wickedness," "mischief," "bad," "trouble," "hurt," "sore," "affliction," "ill," "adversity," "harm," "grievous," and "sad." So no matter what particular interpretation is given of this word -- it has profoundly negative implications. The idea that god is sovereign over the affairs of man makes this even worse, because no matter what interpretation it has, it indicates that bible-god deliberately does harm.]; evil about which he sometimes changes his mind (Exodus 32:14). What a font of unchanging morality -- that almighty God can decide to kill an entire people, and then be talked out of it by a human servant... Furthermore, it is obvious, if God can change his mind, then even if the Bible were not full of errors and horrors, you could not trust that God had not changed his mind on any other issue in it.

So, yes, I suppose if one wants to take as truth a book that says that beetles have four legs instead of six (Leviticus 11: 21-23) and that rabbits chew their cud [which they do NOT] (Deuteronomy 14:7) and if you are willing to, having accepted it as truth, overlook the fact that bible-god routinely changed his mind (I can show you other instances if you wish) then yeah, its the word of God.

I on the other hand know what infallible means -- and an infallible God could not create a fallible book -- so the Bible is simply myth.

Answer 3

It's Benny Hinn not Benny Hill!! Good Lord, you can't even get your evangelists straight, how the heck are you going to save anyone?

Answer 4

The main reason I am not a christian today is because when I was a kid I went to church every week...they were the biggest bunch of evil twisted people I have ever met in my life....I thought it was just a one off but years later I found out that a friend of mines dad...who was a church leader used to beat the heck out of her...she wasnt a bad person she used to be beaten for no reason...and of course there is the catholic priests....tv evangelists...need I go on?

Answer 5

I am a gay male and a christian who reads his bible, and everyday I worry about my salvation and my soul. I feel like I don't know what to do...I can't fall in love or get attracted to a woman but I don't want to go to hell either. Being alone is so lonely and I don't think I can spend my life like that. I am torn and scared and really need guidance before it's too late.

Answer 6

You confuse me. First I am concerned about you using the Spirit of the Lord's name as your avatar. Second, if YOU were a real christian, you would know that our flesh is always in turmoil with the spirit and that christians are never perfect. We are saved. That is why God came down Himself to save us, because we could never save ourselves. We are saved by faith, not by being good.

Answer 7

To answer your original question -- according to Christianity we aren't CAPABLE of *not* sinning. We are born with something called 'sin-nature' that makes it impossible to avoid the temptation of sin.

I, however, disagree and think it IS possible for a person to not sin-- but it's a VERY difficult thing to achieve, obviously. But that's just my 2 cents. :-)

Blessings and Light!

Answer 8

Benny HILL did faith healing? I thought all he did was run around trying to pinch young ladies' bums.....

Answer 9

You can't stop sinning because you were born a sinner...it's your nature, you cant stop.
However, you should be able to try to stop, with God's help. The way you can tell is if your heart is right with God. That's just my philosophy.

Answer 10

Because we are born into sin, it has become a part of who we are. We could no more stop sinning than we could stop breathing.... well, we COULD stop breathing... but ... you get the idea, right?

HOWEVER in Heaven we are promised a New Body! Wooo-Hooo!!!!
