If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, then you do not want to sin, deliberately. You know what is right and what is wrong. Although we sin every day by thought alone, we have forgiveness. One can not go around and willfully sin on purpose and think to themselves that they can do it because they believe in Jesus or have been saved, that is just mocking God. Only God knows what is truly in ones heart. We do sin daily, but if you are doing it on purpose, knowing and thinking.....I'll ask for forgiveness later, that is wrong.

No. This is called liscentiousness. What this means is using God's grace as a liscence to sin. The Apostle Paul writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote about this matter in the book entitled Romans.

As a human being, you'll always commit sin, but that is what repentance is for.....your supposed to repent and not repeat the same sin, but most likely you will. Thankfully Jesus love us enough to give us a way back home.

The book of Hebrews says "without holiness no one will see the Lord"
I think everyone will sin to some degree as long as they live, and struggle, but... they dont have to be given over to it... true saving faith will have necessary fruit and evidence of it in some forms in ones life as a person changes "from glory to glory"

No.
"For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the Grace of God into a License for Immorality and even deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord" Jude 1:4......... We do not have the "freedom" to sin merely because we are a member of Christ.
"Live as free men, but DO NOT USE YOUR FREEDOM AS A COVER-UP FOR EVIL, live as servants of God" 1 Peter 2:16
He may forgive us of our sins, but that does not mean we are free to sin merely because he will forgive us. That is abusing his forgiveness. That is like if a king pardons a thief and the thief thinks that gives him a right to steal freely. No, we have been forgiven of sin so that we might resist it.

yes & no
yes you can keep sinning but when you are saved from sin-it is like a pig becoming a lamb-you can go back into the pig sty/pen but you will never be happy there again; missing the joy of their salvation Psalm 51.
some people say they are Christians but have never let him into their heart to forgive their sins and help them John 3 repent and be born again-to see the kingdom of heaven-the words of Jesus

A born again Christian is not perfect. We sin - all the time. BUT, we try, with the strength of the Holy Spirit, not to.
To answer your question - the Lord does not see our weaknesses, but He sees our HEARTS.
The Lord will not be pleased with us should we just continue to sin all the time. If we do and we are not sorry about it, we will fall back and not be children of His any longer.

Apparently a lot of "Christians" don't know what "repent" means. It's from a Roman military word that meas "about face." You must believe that Jesus can help you stop sinning.

Your so silly, no matter how hard we try to be perfect, we can never be, thats why getting saved is a free gift, yes we all sin every day and we will all fall short even the Atheist every day, its in everyones DNA.

Once we accept Jesus as our Savior, we try to stay as close to Him as we can and live the way He would want us to. As humans we are not perfect and often give in to temptation, as God knew we would.
