Answer 1

I would say yes, by following the 10 commandments then one can live without sinning .

Answer 2

Instead of some link, just read the Scriptures...

Romans 3:23: "23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"

It is different to go out and intensionly sin, as opposed to being human and living under the effects of sin. If we could live a sinless life, then the ransom sacrifice of Jesus would have been for what?

Most Christians will not enter heaven anyway, the earth was created for humans, for most of us, the resurrection is to life on earth.

Isaiah 45: 18: "For this is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens, He the [true] God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited..."

Psalm 37: 29: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it."

Matthew 5:5: "“Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."

John 3:12 & 13: "If I have told YOU earthly things and yet YOU do not believe, how will YOU believe if I tell YOU heavenly things? 13 Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man."

Jesus was speaking of himself as being the only one who has descended from heaven, and the first one who will ascend to heaven. Look at the Godly people of old times, Able,Moses, Joshua, Noah, Abraham, King David...the list goes on, but Jesus said NO ONE had ascended to heaven but the one (himself) that descended from heaven. The rest were asleep in death, awaiting the resurrection to life on earth. Those former ones never had the idea that they would ever be in heaven. They knew that life everlasting was on a restored paradise earth.

Answer 3

A Difficult question, yet valid. The problem is No one knows any more what is or is not sin for sure. I don't worry about it myself being a pagan and all, sin is not included in my package belief system. But I know many people of varying faiths. and their understanding of sin is widely varied. The best answer to your question on a general theme would be NO- everyone sins, but may be forgiven If they are truly regret full of wrongdoing. Not sorry I don't want to feel like bacon for eternity. Or sorry I want in the big castle in the sky. It has to be sorrow for doing wrong and wanting to have done right. that allows forgiveness and asking removes the sin. read any bible or go to any church, and they will summarily say this with their own extra requirements. no matter what We'll find out when we get there. so don't worry, If you end up in the big lake of fire for eternity for ignorance, that's a long time to plot revenge. :)

Answer 4

if it was not possible to live without sinning then why would we be here at all? That's a total contradiction. In my opinion this whole idea of sin as a black and white issue is a product of the churches centuries ago as a way of explaining good and evil to the people in those days who were less educated than the priests. As we go through our lives we develop a sense of right and wrong, if we're lucky, and it isn't as simple as "this is a sin" or "this is not a sin" - for example, if technology has created new opportunities to do evil deeds, has the church created new names for these "new sins"? NO. You are expected to refer back to your inner compass to know if they are right or wrong. So if we could not live without sinning, and needed absolution to get into Heaven, it would be a very empty place, wouldnt it?? And it would conveniently place the power in the hands of the priests wouldn't it? Which is, of course, historically what the church has wanted. We as christians can find our own way, using our inner compass, which is informed in part by the church, by our communities, etc, but also in part by our own intelligence.

Answer 5

We will never stop sinning in this flesh. If someone said they are sinless well they lie cause the flesh is not pleasing to God. In God's eyes I do no sin. All he sees is the blood, because God can't look upon sin. Until Jesus gives me a new body only then can I live a sinless life.

Answer 6

1. I really, don't want to take the time to read that HUMONGOUS big article thing.

2. It IS impossible to live a sinless life! We are born with sin just because we are human and we came from Adam and Eve the first sinners (which is why a lot of churches do baptisms as babies).

It is our nature to sin. If someone hurts you, one of your first reactions/thoughts is to get back at them. You may not want to carry that action out upon them, but, it's the thought that counts. We aren't supposed to want to take revenge on anyone. but that's one example. We prejudice ourselves against people, we lie (even if they're white lies), we want things and sometimes put their importance in front of God even though we may not necessarily mean to.

3. IT IS NOT NESSICARY TO LIVE A SINLESS LIFE TO ENTER HEAVEN! A man could kill someone intentionally and then accept Jesus into his heart and have a relationship with him and THAT'S all that matters. It's by God's GRACE we go to Heaven. And it's not even the fact that we're not going to Hell that matters. It's that we love God and His Son like he loved us. God made us with free will. With only our earthly human will we cannot be sinless because only God is.

Answer 7

I'll skip your article link and go ahead and say that it is impossible to live without sinning. Everybody, even those without Christian morals, has a standard that they are expected to live by whether it is imposed on them through their religion, politics, social status, etc. Although one could argue on what is and isn't a sin, there are certain things that are inherently wrong in all religious and social circles (murder, theft, etc.). Therefore, it's impossible to live without sinning, even if you don't believe in "sins," you can commit a crime, which, on most levels, is the secular equivalent of sin.

Answer 8

Yeah, I think it's impossible to live without sinning(if you go by the Christian's Bible). Any hate, lies, violence, etc. would be considered a sin.
The people on religion & spirituality are good examples.
Post anything that insults their belief and they'll be start hating like crazy. Report you, give you thumbs down, insult you back all out of hate.

Answer 9

Thanks for the link, but I don't need to read the article.
I already live a life without sin.
How can I? The masses ask, incredulously.
It's not that hard.
I don't believe in it.
Like Easter. It'll be just another weekend, for me.
If you believe in sin, I don't know how you can live a sinless life, but I wish you the best of luck in your quest to find out how to do it.

Answer 10

It is not plausible. If you think that we are living without sin then that itself a sin!

1 John 1:8 "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us"

Our passport to heaven is not sinless life or not the good deeds , not even the baptism! It is fully on Jesus Christ, He finished our work of Salvation on the cross

Ephesians 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

The true christian is the one who don't live in sin (believers will not practice sin. They will not sin habitually)

1 John 3:9 "No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God"

Once we are born again, we have two natures (flesh and sprit) it goes after another which ever you are feeding will win. If we yield to the flesh and feed with Lust and desire then it will win over the sprit. If we yield to sprite and feed with word and prayer then it will win.

Gal 5:16,17 : "My point is that you should live in accord with the spirit and you will not yield to the cravings of the flesh. The flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh; the two are directly opposed"

That's why Jesus called us to take the cross and walk with Him.
