Do you think sinning can actually lead one to closer relationship with the Creator, Father, Savior?
Does living a sin filled life, and knowing God still loves you, and Jesus is all you need, make you appreciate the God we worship even more?

Yes to both, but on the first one sinning can only bring you closer to God if your repent and learn from your ways. if not then it doesn't work that way...

well i think this means your worried about something you did and i think sometimes sinning can lead you closer because you know sometimes things are wrong and you do them any ways wich God knows you are only a human and not perfect, and if you live a sin filled life then repeant and ask God for forgivness because nomatter what you do God always will forgive you but don't take it for granted because when you turn your back on God he knows it and will show how to be a better Christian by talking to you through the Bible and Praying try not to sin and ask God to forgive you

To sin means to miss the mark or not hit a target directly in the middle. In theatre if you miss your mark it means you have not stepped in the right spot. That in film would cause you to call cut because it was a mistake, or a missed take. You would have to take it over. Take is not a biblical word but receive is. God can not look upon sin. So, sin seperates me from God... presuming to assume what God has ordained makes me a judge and thusly not in need of God.

God loves everybody the same but living a sin filled life you might be more applicable to sin again with the things that you struggled with.

Intentional sinning for sin's sake--no. That will not lead you closer to God. That can arguably amount to blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, since if you have accepted Jesus, he has sent you the Holy Spirit--and the Holy Spirit guides you in growth and transformation. If you deliberately, pointedly commit sins, you are not heeding the voice of the Spirit of God that lives within you.
That said, everyone will continue to sin while in the flesh. Can this bring you closer to God? If you continually go to God and repent, ask his mercy, and ask him to guide you in your transformation--and you heed that guidance--then it can bring you to a closer understanding of God's mercy and God's will. That is, you begin to recognize--with intimate clarity--the precise differences between human will and Godly will. If you recognize and know, very well, exactly how you fail, then you can quite possibly become much better acquainted with the One who never fails, ever.

Depends on if that person truly repents, meaning they stop sinning. To continue sinning doesn't lead you closer to God, it leads you in the opposite direction.

If we continue to think that's its ok to go ahead and sin because God is forgiving and loving and I,ll ask and he,ll forgive me, then no your not having a close relationship with God the father.
As humans we can,t help but have sinfull tendencies but as Christians we also have to fight those tendencies as hard as we can every minute of the day and ask God to help us to do that and NEVER must we allow ourselves to believe that we can slack and God will forgive us. He is the wisest and if we don,t give to him our very best he,ll know and just what does the bible say about some one who sins repeatedly and asks forgiveness?
The only way to have a close relationship with God is to study his word ,the Bible and to pray and to live by those words that are written. It can be hard but we each have that personal fight with ourselves .

The Bible says "There is nothing new under the sun." so don't think that this question hasn't come up before. As a matter of fact it's covered in the Bible too. Try reading Romans 6-the entire chapter and Hebrews 10:26-39. See what they say and see if you still feel that this question hasn't been answered.

Sinning can make you have a closer relationship with God, yes. When you commit sins and ask to be forgiven and autmatically are, you know that your love with God is unconditional and no matter what mistakes you make, as long you admit your wrongdoings, you may be rewarded in the end.

I know my sins have brought me closer to God. He usually put a burden on my heart when I have done wrong and He won't let me forget it until I have repented of my sins and asking Him to help me not do these sins again.

I think in some ways it does lead one to a closer rrelationship to God. I mean, that person has to realize that what they did was wrong and either already bellieve in God or realize that God is the Omega, Abba, and the true son of God that loves us even though we do wrong. Sometimes I say things I shouldn't say, and knowing after I ask for forgiveness, that our God is truly great and powerful
