I live a good life, I help people, I love my personal god, (not the Christian one), I love animals and I'm compassionate & Forgiving- in what way am I a sinner?
I'm not saying I'm ''better'' than anyone though. I 'm not saying I'm like Jesus. But how can I be a sinner??? what have I done???

"Sin" is a word religious people use to make themselves feel more noble for not doing such things. Sounds like you live a good life and shouldn't pay attention to what religious zealots have to say about the way you live.

Have you ever broken on of the 10 commandments?
If you have lived a perfect life, then you arenot a sinner. Personally I have never met a perfect person.
There has only been one sinless person and that was Jesus.

everyone is born a sinner (except for jesus) because its in our nature. Anyways have you ever lied, thought bad thoughts that makes you a sinner 1 sin. 1 sin can condemn you to hell, however Jesus forgives our sins. In Jesus' eyes all sins are equal

Everyone on this Earth Sins. there is not one person alive that has not sin. I do not see my self as being bad either. but I have sinned. and I can say, that I have never in my life used one cure word. not even as a child, when growing up. but I know you can not just be good in one way. you have to always to good and live by the Bible. but that is not enough. you also have to understand and follow everything that God tells us to do. I mean everything, you cannot go against anything, even if you feel it is something very small.
If God took the time to say "NO' about something, and goes to the length to put it in the Bible, then it must be important to him. or he would not have said anything about it. I hope this does not affined anyone, but God wrote in the Bible that we shall never!
add to the Church or take anything from the Church. yet, Churches have added music, I do not mean singing, they had that back then, so singing is fine. but they did not have music bands, guitars, pianos, or even video, computers, T.V's even the fact that we have electricity in a Church is said to be wrong. but yet we do it, WHY' because we say, it is not that bad to change things. But is It? it was put in the Bible for a reason.
So if anyone can tell me that your Church is not this way, then you may be close to not sinning, I know I am not, because the Church I go to has all these things, just like everyone else. but I know it should not be that way, because it says it in the Bible. so I know I can say, Everyone sins! even I. if you can live by the Bible word for word. then you could say, you do not sin. if you don't live words by word by the Bible, and say you do not sin. is a lie, and that lie shows you sin because you should never have said that.
I am sorry if this may, depress anyone, but it is the truth. it even depresses me, to think about it. but facts are facts. no one is perfect. "Oh' an dthe Bible says that also... "No one is perfect."

Everybody is a sinner. I don't know what you consider your "personal god", but what I do know, is you cannot get to heaven by works alone or just being a good person, you have to accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior.

All the bible beaters from the red-neck, bible belt states are fast asleep in bed. A better time to ask this question would be during the day.

Have you ever:
Taken the Lord's name in vain (ex.Oh my G-O-D) ?
Disobeyed your parents?
Lusted after a woman?
Taken something that wasn't yours,even if it was only a tiny thing?
Told a lie?
Been jealous of someone?
If yes,you are a blasphemous,
disobedient,
adulterous,
thieving,
lying ,
coveter.
We all fall way short of the mark of perfection.
That's why we need Jesus.

well you said that you have your own personal god....maybe the true god isn't pleased to see that just because to do all those good things and have never sinned then maybe you should dig deeper.......like for example the god you serve is an idol ,right?.....if so then i can see the problem

You have lied. You have wanted something that wasn't yours. That is equal to murder and rape in Gods eyes. All sins are equal. You have to repent or else you will get the same torment as truly evil people.
