If all people are sinners then does that mean we are all bad?

Question

I want to know clear answer. IT is kind of confusing. Do all sinners who believe Jesus died for their sins go to heaven? Which denomination believes this?

Answer 1

we are all born with sinful nature that must be overcome by reliance on God. Jesus paid the price to cover our sins so we don't have to. Just learn to rely on him.

Answer 2

we are all sinners. We are all bad. Sinners who have accepted Jesus as their Savior go to Heaven because He bled and died as a sacrifice for our sins, and we said "yes", i believe in that and will live my life for God. The name of the denomination does not matter. What is in the heart is what counts. But some are Baptists, Methodists, Church of God, many more.

Answer 3

I am Orthodox Catholic. This is my belief. We are humans and all humans commit sin. You must define sin - sin is knowingly doing something that is going against what God tells us to do. Like "thou shall not covet they neighbor's wife". I know it's wrong to have an affair with someone else's spouse or for me to cheat on my spouse. Even though I know it's wrong I consciously decide to have the affair. That is a sin. To enter Heaven we must confess our sins to the Lord and ask for forgiveness and never commit that sin again. If we do then we need help, guideness to get us to stop committing that sin over and over again.

A person living in a tribal village in the middle of Africa doesn't know about God (our God), they might have their own gods. Thus they don't know about the bible, the ten commandments, Jesus' teachings, etc. They don't know that we are to keep the Sabbath holy. They probably don't even know that days, weeks, and months exist on this planet. They don't go to church on Saturday or Sunday. They are not committing a sin. They don't need to confess this. God probably (my thoughts) will let them enter Heaven if they were good people on earth.

Does this make any sense? We all sin because we all know what is right and what is wrong. A tribal person knows that they should steal cattle from another person. If they steal it they are doing wrong. I don't now if God's says that it's a sin, but it is wrong and they know it. People are the way they are because of the family upbringing, peer pressure and outside influences, government control, etc. Sadly there are people that were abused all their childhood with incest, beatings, etc. Some get help and are able to more on and have a normal adulthood. Some don't get help and have hatred in their hearts forever. They grow up killing others, raping, etc. They are based on how they were treated. But they probably know they are doing wrong. Murderers and rapists know it's wrong because they try to hide it. They hide the bodies, they rape at night, in darkness, not during the day in the middle of a crowd. I'm babbling, sorry.

Last thought - there are some people are just plain evil - Hitler, child molesters, terrorists. They know it's wrong, deep inside they know it's wrong but they don't give a flying fig. They do it anyways and don't give a crap of the consequences. I think these people are in hell.

Yet, God is the only who knows who will be in Heaven or hell. I am a human, I sin, I make stupid mistakes, I blunder, I am a repeat offender sometimes. But I am trying my best at this stage on my life. Some people mature late in life also. Abortion is a sin but because a group a humans decided to make it legal then lots of people think it's ok. Doing cocaine is a sin, you know it's wrong, it destroys your body, the thing God created for you yet you choose to start doing it. A group of humans decided to make it illegal so now everyone knows it's wrong.

I'll stop babbling...................................... bye!

Answer 4

I'm a Christian,I don't sin 100% all the time.I have been saved. I am trying to be the best person I can be but I'm no angel. I still commit some things that are called sinful.I ask for God's forgiveness and try not to do the same things over again.Notice I said "TRY".

Answer 5

Yes, the Bible states all men and women are rebels against God, Who is the rightful ruler over all His creation. This is the essence of sin, the desire and motive to want to rule our own lives apart from God's authority.

The Bible teaches that all who place their faith and hope in Jesus, repent from their rebellion (their sin) and follow after Him will go to heaven.

Lots of denominations teach this - most protestant denominations, any that we could call orthodox...although denominations being what they are, there are noteworthy abberant exceptions which we would not include as orthodox that will add something else as essential to salvation (i.e., baptism, obeying the rules of the church, etc.)

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

The Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,
The Bible says all ways are clean in the eyes of men.
in our judgment we are not all that bad, but truth be told all men have done acts to offend God whether it is not loving one another, UN- forgiveness, fornication, lying, or lust,.... we all fall short of perfection and goodness. So we must obtain the forgiveness and cleansing of God that can only be gotten through confessing, repenting ,and making Jesus Lord

Answer 7

Yes, that is a basic premise in Christianity. You're all bad. This prevents you from loving yourself, an essential part of mental health and happiness in life. You know you're a good person because you feel bad when you hurt someone. Christians would dispute this simple truth.

Answer 8

No, it all started when adam sinned in the Book of Genesis by eating the forbidden fruit purposly when God gave him specific orders. So when he ate of the forbidden fruit adam sinned . So If God created adam, he sure created us and that;s why we have this sinful nature. Its because of Adam. Read the Book of Genesis in the Bible it explain everything you want to know.

Answer 9

The clear answer is: Sin is an explanatory fiction; there's no such thing as sin, only status offenses, misdemeanors and felonies. Get over the sin thing.

Answer 10

all denominations of christianity belive this. yes, we are all sinners. WE ARE ALL BAD. none are good enough to get into heaven from their own good works.
