why are christians asking others to be saved, when they themselves are still sinning, so is being saved a?

Question

license to sin, even if the "unsaved person" asks for forgivness but with out accepting Jesus as his savior that person still goes to hell with the christians that are still sinning

I did not say christians were perfect, if a sin is a sin and both ask for forgiveness and they both will sin again, trying to or not they still sin and repent and try not to sin no more, but they like all of us can not excape sin, so we will all go to the Hell Place

So what are you learning in this school, that one day you will be a master at what. I live a very sinless life and at the end of my time my offspring and there offspring will say I was a good teacher of truth, that salvation comes from within yourself,

Answer 1

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.

If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.

First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.

How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?

It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.

One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.

Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.

If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.

If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.

How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.

Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.

If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.

How likely is that????

Think about it.

The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

Answer 2

why do you need to know this if your not sincerely interested in what the gospel message has to offer you? Being a Christian does not make one perfect. Salvation is based on ones acceptance for what Jesus did on the cross to pay for the sins past present and future of those who truly repent. Repent does not just mean as many think to be remorseful for sinful lifestyle but to agree with God about our condition and then to turn away from sin. This does not mean that we are no longer tempted or prone to sinfulness only that we have a place to go everyday for forgiveness. Recieving Christ as Savior is the beginning step of a life of gradual sanctification. I have yet to see a Christian that upon being saved was miraculously transformed into another Mother Teresa. As long as we remain on earth in these bodies we will be subject to the desires of the flesh. The Christian life is one of growing and discipline. Salvation is a place where we are positionally overcomers of our old nature but it is still a fact that Christians learn to appropriate the truths of being Christ-like in every area of life.
If you enroll in a school to learn a trade do you automatically become a master at that trade in the first week of training? I don't think so. If it disturbs you so much to see the failures of Christians to meet YOUR standard of what that should mean. I would suggest that you come aboard and show us all how its done and try to grow in holiness while at every turn you run into those like yourself that love to point out their inconsistency in developing Christian character. I'm sure you could do a better job since you seem to know already what does not constitute Holiness. Lucifer is called in scripture the accuser of the brethern I am quite sure He loves the assist from you.

Answer 3

Good luck on that question, Christians will always give some retarded explanation as to why they can do whatever they want including ignoring the bible completely and just say OK Jesus forgive me now, I'll repeat the exact same thing as many times as I want but forgive me now.
If they wanted to be a good Christian they would put a small limit on the number of times they can be forgiven for the same offense.

Answer 4

No - it is not that straightforward. Christians, like Muslims, believe that sins could be forgiven. yet, asserting you're able to do what you like on account which you would be forgiven later - that may not real repentance (changing direction), no, not forgiveness might take transport of the two. some Christians have the "as quickly as saved, constantly saved," thought, yet, others think of you could lose salvation; e.g., via sinning.

Answer 5

Why is it that you think just because we are saved that you think we are perfect. We are still is this earthly body that has done much sin before we accepted Jesus. And when we got saved the temptations become greater because satan has lost us. If us Christians prayed each night before we went to sleep and asked God to forgive us of the sins we might have commited aganist him, we still will have sin cause this body is in sin. God cannot look upon us because of that, but because of the blood that covers our sin God can look upon us. Being saved does not give us the right to keep sinning, but if you have ever read the bible you will see many in the bible who sinned and and stayed in sin for a long time.
King David- Sinned by sleeping with bathesheba, and had her husband killed, then lied when asked if he did this, But King David was a man after God's own heart.
Peter- Told Jesus he would never deny him, and yet he did.
Thomas- He was known as the doubter.
I can speak for me when I say I am the prodigal daughter. I have left the sweet fellowship of God, because I have let sin creep in. I know I shall return back to that sweet fellowship one day, just like the prodigal son did in the bible.

Answer 6

People on Yahoo Answers can't possibly be saved.. Jesus said when asked how to gain eternal life, "Sell everything you have, then follow me"

So if we have a computer, a tv, a couch or food in the fridge, we are going to hell.

Answer 7

You misunderstand. A Christian doesn't get up in the morning saying, "now how can I take advantage of God's grace today, which sin shall I pursue"? A Christian still sins, that is so, but it isn't something I desire to do.

"Saved" means you have accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, that His death on Calvary atones for all your sin; past, present and future. I am no better than anyone else, and probably a worse person than some. But my faith in Christ has saved me from having to pay the "wages of sin", which is death (in hell). I take that very seriously, I don't see it as "license" to do anything I please.

Answer 8

Jesus is a license to sin

Answer 9

no, being saved is not a lisence to sin, romans 6:1-2 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

IN ADDITION: 1 COR 6:9-10 9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

and again: Gal. 5: 19-21 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I WARN YOU, AS I DID BEFORE, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Answer 10

Because, we are human, we are allowed to make mistakes. Getting saved just lets you get to heaven easier than not being saved. God understands that we will make these mistakes, thats why Jesus died on the cross, for OUR sins that we will make in our lifetime. But some of these religious people, take that a step further and do sometimes cross the line, those people are called "Hypocrites".
