it appears to me that most christians in this Q & A, think that all christians practice sin,to practice sin means to sin on a regular basis thinking God is such a merciful he will never send me to hell. the bible Clearly says that GOD will not be mocked,whatever a man soweth that shall he reap.
Now in some cases christians make mistakes and there are flaws in there character,and maybe slip and do something wrong,but that dont mean falling in to the bed of fornication or lying,or always cheating,or which is practicing sin.

I can honestly say I "slip" now and then, but for the most part, I try to follow the teachings of Jesus - treat others with compassion and love, live the Word of the Lord, and share the Word of the Lord. I don't believe that everyone who says they believe in Jesus will go to heaven. Matthew 7:21 says, "Not all those who say I am their Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. The only people who will enter the kingdom of heaven are those who do what my Father in heaven wants." John 5:29 says "...Those who did good will rise and live forever, but those who did evil will rise to be judged guilty." When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are told to change our lives and sin no more. None of us know when and where we're going to die (unless we do it ourselves), so how do we know when to confess our sins and ask God for forgiveness? We have to do it now and change our lives. Sorry - I rambled, didn't I?

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1John 3:4
.Deu 5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. That is the seventh dayof the week, not the first day of the week. How many people do you know that keep the Sabbath? How many sinners do you know?

EVery one in this world is a daily sinner and falls short of the glory of God. That is why we must repent of our sins daily and do our best to change those sinful ways. Repentance of sin is not a sin all you want for free card. You must be sincere in your repentance and go and sin no more. Since you can go and sin no more because we are all daily sinners, you must repent of those sins daily.The word making a mistake is just another word of sinning.

I don't believe in the "system" of sin and forgiveness. I do believe in mistakes and we should all be responsible for our own words and actions. Do you really think that God the Almighty really cares if someone mocks "her". Don't you think God is a little bigger than that. Why do you insist on giving God this gigantic ego. God doesn't need and ego, or praise, or need to be jealous...that's what we as humans need...Not God.

christians do a lot more than just fornication. some are child molesters and some are serial killers. but most christians excuse them as not true christians. i dont make excuses for bad behavior/.
the bible says you shall know them by thier fruits but everywhere i go i meet hateful ignorant people who happen to be christian. maybe theres more to it than that, but i blame the religion not the people. However a religion can change a person. mostly for the worse and not for the better.

I was born into the Christian religion and while I can buy some of the teachings of Christianity, I cannot buy into all of them...I am a human being...I make mistakes and sometimes do things that I regret...I don't believe that God would punish me for being what he made me to be...so, I suppose that some may consider me to be a sinner, I do not and I am certain that neither does my Creator.

Alot of "Christians" are those who think that simply SAYING a "Sinner's Prayer" will get them into Heaven. Some don't realize it's not just something to say, it's something to mean.
Intent has a great deal with Salvation.
"Not everyone who says, 'Lord, Lord'..." and all that jazz.

I've been practising sin for a while now and, if I do say so myself, I'm getting quite good at it now.
