...both.
It's our nature to sin; We sin because we are sinners.
When we sin, we are sinners.
It's a vicious cycle.
God made a way out!
His name is Jesus! That's doesn't mean we make mistakes now and then, but he is the key to salvation and true fulfillment

I believe that we all have a sin nature, so that no matter how hard we tried, we would not be able to go a day without sinning. So I suppose that means I think that we are sinners, so we sin!

Sin is a universal Problem. Romans 3:23 says ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. We are sinners until we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior--then He gives us an identity in Him--as Loved Children, bought with a price. Our Identity is no longer in sin but yet we still struggle with it at times. God no longer sees us as sinners, but merely sees His Son.

Both. All of us have original sin because of our first parents (Adam and Eve), and we also suffer the effects of that sin. I think it is best put that we know that we are all sinners, we should recognize our sinful nature and repent and sin no more.

Both (sort of) - we have a tendency to sin (which is called original sin, and this tendency is in every area of our moral capacity...which is called "total depravity" which simply means there is no area where we are perfect, not that we're total monsters), and once we commit a sin, it changes how we feel about things, and it becomes easier to sin again, sort of like water in a river wearing a path that is harder for the water to escape from over time, or maybe even like an addiction.

I am Apostolic and attend a UPCI church. We were shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. (Psalm 51:5) So we are sinners becasue we sin. Christians are just saved sinners by the grace of God. Though the adamic nature is to sin (flesh) we are not bound to it...therefore we can be saved.

We are sinners because we sin.
Love ya!
A basic tenant of our faith:
We believe that man will be punished for his own sin, not for Adams transgression

I was born pure and innocent. I am a sinner because I sin.

The way I understood it was no matter how good man tried to be he will always sin. Personally I have no opinion on this.

We sin because we are sinners...but through the grace of God and the accept as Jesus Christ as our saviour we are forgiven.
