I believe its ignorance and the evidence shows that.

I have never said Christians don't sin. However i don't really believe in sin. But according to their beliefs on the subject they often commit what they would consider sin

Christians are indeed sinners kind of like unbelievers. But heres where they are different.
When an unbelievers sins, he is doing what comes natural and in many cases he is not ashamed of it, he is proud! The believer however is ashamed because he knows better. The believer will repent (turn away) from the sin. Paul teaches us in Galatians 5 that the very definition of our being comes from living by the Holy spirit and seeking to gratify what gratifies God, being good. However there is also the sinful nature which does not seek God. The difference between a believer an an unbeliever is that the believer is seeking to please God and when they find themselves in sin they feel weird and off track. When an unbeliever finds themselves in sin, they were and still are seeking to gratify their sinful nature, therefore they feel right at home.
Another huge difference is salvation. Jesus died for our past sins, present sins, and future sins. Now that is not a license to sin nor should it grace ever be thought of that way. But the fact is those sins are forgiven. The unbelievers sin however is not forgiven.
Just a few things to think about! Christians arent perfect, but we are different than the world!

I don't think it's a question of whether people believe Christians sin. I think it's a matter of people mistaking the concept of forgiveness for becoming perfect. For some reason they think Christians are saying they have morphed into some sort of perfect god when Christians are fully aware they continue to sin and need to repent often.

Christians do sin, I know i don't claim to be perfect. The difference is we are forgiven and a Child of God and will one day spend eternity in heaven with no more tears or pain, sounds like a place i want to go...
People are not the Judge God is the Judge!

Everyone knows that Christians sin, but since they are always forgiven by God (well when they truly are sorry), it is not held against them.

They believe you they just want someone to look to. They want to see someone who is perfect. Next time tell them that you know you arent perfect but that you know someone who is, God. Give them the love of Jesus. I understand where you are coming from, but dont go out of your way to sin just to prove them wrong. It wont be worth it, I know.

So true!
Even while they deny the Bible they believe in!
Jesus said that if you say in your heart that you have no sin, you are a liar, & the truth is NOT in you!

We're human we sin, we ask for forgiveness and try not to commit the same sin.
There's only one that did not sin, Jesus Christ, God in human form.
