Do you sin, as a Christian?

Question

If a Christian sins, it is against his will. One who is regenerate falls rather than dives into sin; he resists rather than embraces it. Any dead fish can float downstream. It takes a live one to swim against the flow. Christians still experience temptations and can sometimes fall into sin, but they are no longer slaves to sin (Romans 6:6). They have God’s Holy Spirit within them to help them say no to temptation, and to convict their conscience of wrongdoing when they do sin.
What do you think?

Answer 1

All Christians sin. They say it's because they're human and humans will sin regardless of how Christian they are.

Answer 2

Yes I sin. As a Christian, the Holy Spirit convicts me when I do sin, but I am so thankful that my sins are forgiven by the blood of Jesus.

Answer 3

We must strive to be Christ like. Yes we are tempted daily. Sometimes we fall into temptation. When the Holy Spirit convicts us we must repent immediately

Answer 4

Does your little child disobey you? Yes, and sometimes it hurts. But, is that child still your child? Yes, and if you move to a new house you'll take that child with you. You don't take the child who lives down the street because he or she is not your child in your household. You never adopted that child down the street. But your child, adopted or biological, if always your child, even when he or she disobeys.

Does your child who disobeys you get punished? You bet! Even so, you still take care of that child and love that child. Not so for that child down the street because you never adopted him or her.

God wants to adopt every one of us no matter how bad we are. If only we were all willing to be adopted by God. The adoptions papers are signed in His blood, the blood of Christ. You only need to receive it by faith.

But if we who are in His household don't want any more butt spankings from our Dad then we better stop disobeying Him.

I hope you were able to follow this simple but true analogy.

Answer 5

All sin and fall short of the Glory of God. Jesus died to pay our sin debt, but that doesn't mean we should seek to sin, or expect not to sin, just that, if we repent, we are forgiven. God Bless.

Answer 6

Interesting thought.
When a Christian sins, it does not mean that they are have now lost their salvation, but it also does not it mean that they do not have to repent and seek God to change them (deliver them from that sin)

Answer 7

A-MEN

But God's word says we all sin and fall short of the Glory.

Answer 8

sin = self indused nonsence. christians believe that pleasures are sinful but yet if god created all humans then the pleasures where created from god? thats the real question there. if you ask me the only ones sinning is the christians since the rest of us are enjoying the pleasures of life and what the human body as to offer

Answer 9

I think you've managed to convienantly show the problem with Christianity -- "I didn't do it, I just slipped, but now I'm with Christ again."

Total lack of personal moral responsibility.

Have some b@lls. Stand up and say it, "Yeah, I shagged that male prostitute and took his crack cocaine and used it like there was no tomorrow, and you know what, they both felt good. I see now though that these things I chose to do and did were not keeping with Christ's message, so I repent and resolve to not do them again."

That's far, far better than, "you can't judge me, only God can, it's between me and Him alone."

Answer 10

Of course they do. Regretably, they think all non-believers deserve hell, no matter how much good they do in real life, but a mass murdered can repent and go to heaven.

As a societal construct, it's a very poor one.
