So, Christans are free to sin?

Question

While commiting a sin.. do you feel relaxed that you wont be answerable in front of anyone?

And that you are already blessed and saved.

Answer 1

No one is free to sin no matter what polished excuse they might make, this comfortable notion that once saved means you cannot offend God and lose eternal life is self delusional at best and very bad theology.

Answer 2

The Apostle Paul answered a very similar question in Romans 6:1-2, "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" The idea that a person could trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and then go on living just as he/she lived before - is absolutely foreign to the Bible. Believers in Christ are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). The Holy Spirit changes us from producing the acts of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21), to producing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The Christian life is a changed life.

What differentiates Christianity from every other world religion is this - Christianity is based on what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. Every other world religion is based on what we must do to earn God's favor and forgiveness. Every other world religion teaches that we must do certain things, and stop doing certain things - in order to earn God's love and mercy. Christianity, faith in Christ, teaches that we do certain things and stop doing certain things BECAUSE of what Christ has done for us.

Answer 3

On the contrary, Christians are even MORE obliged to obey God's Law than non-Christians. To put it into perspective, here's an analogy:

You get pulled over on the highway for going 80 mph in a 60. The cop comes up to you and, after getting your license, registration and proof of insurance, asks, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" You admit to the officer your speeding, and he says, "Well, I'm in a generous mood today, so I'm just going to let you off with a warning." You thank the officer and wipe the sweat from your brow. He has just given you "grace". The officer gets back into his patrol car. Now, do you.....
1) Take off like a bat out of Hell, peeling out and kicking up dust, because you're "not under the law, but under grace"?

OR, do you....

2) Check your mirrors carefully, put on your turn signal, and slowly ease out into traffic, because you are "under grace"?

In other words, we as Christians have been given a second chance by the precious blood of Christ, so to purposely sin would be an insult to Christ, and would grieve the Holy Spirit. We must do our best to always "walk with Christ" every day. Paul said, "I die daily". When we do sin, however, we should immediately ask forgiveness of Christ, and "go, and sin no more." A Christian who willingly commits sin isn't much of a Christian, because it means that their heart has not been changed.

Answer 4

NO! We will all answer to God in the end of days. Mankind is free to sin all he wants, you can be forgiven of your sins as often as you commit them if one searches for absolution. One will be marked for committing mortal sin. The question then becomes how much or how long would one want to spend in Purgatory before having the purity to be amongst God? Sin less, pass sooner. Sin more, pass later. We all have been absolved of Original Sin by the death of Christ,
not sin altogether.

Answer 5

I Yahchanan (John) 3:4—
Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law.

Yaaqob (James) 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.


Yaaqob (James) 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

I Yahchanan John)3:7-8, 10—
7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.(Duet 6:25)
8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil.(Not to destroy the righteous works of the Law)

10 In this the children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor!

Deu 6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these Laws before the Yahweh our Father, as he hath commanded us.

Now let's do a recap.......

I Yahchanan (John) 3:4—
Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law.

Yaaqob (James) 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.


Yaaqob (James) 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.



Isa 8:20 To the law and to the prophecy: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Prov 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light.

Answer 6

In penalty all sins are equivalent. All sins separate us from God and all sins are punishable by utilising dying, yet in action and purpose they are not each and each of a similar. Christ talks approximately greatest a newborn off aim and that it "would be extra suitable for that guy or woman to have a millstone tied around his neck..." Christ got here down confusing on hypocrisy and thievery (somewhat in the direction of the undesirable) He appeared extra forgiving of adultery curiously sufficient.

Answer 7

What ever gave you the idea that Christians are free to sin, all humans chose the lifestyle they live, and what they believe, and yes some are good and some are not, just remember when your pointing the finger at some one, three are pointing back at you.

Answer 8

depends on the sin..there is all kinds..the sin is forgiven no matter..but God knows our hearts..so just sin in haste and repent at leisure..
God hates the sin but loves the sinner..

just don't forget to ask for forgiveness with the right heart..and not out of some false sense that whatever you feel like doing you can...Adam and Eve found out what the consequences of sin was...DEATH and working for a living and a lot of nasty stuff thrown in ..like Pain during child birth..weeds,..sickness..disease..and politics

Answer 9

Is it wonderful how christians are free to sin, because as long as they believe in god they are forgiven. This could be the definition of hypocrisy.

Answer 10

Christians are NOT free to sin. Just because we're Christians or some say that they're Christians does not mean that we are free to sin. That would just be wrong!
