Why have many Preachers Stop Preaching about Sin?

Question

In todays church society, sin is not a popular thing to be talked about in the pulpit, many believe that preaching about sin angers too many people and causes too many problems.

Are the preachers wrong for preaching about sin, According to the bible they are not. Sin is somthing that is unlearned and it is natural for humanity to exercise but Jesus nailed all sin to the cross that we may be forgiven of them, he payed the price. Sin is a big issue and it is important that we get "THE TRUTH" back into the pulpit.

Answer 1

Because this is a feel good day and age. Everything is about feeling good and blaming everyone else BUT yourself for all your problems. My Pastor still preaches about sin, I go to a Christian church, not Catholic, not Protestant, just Christan. But my answer for preachers not preaching about sin is because they want their members to feel good and want to come back every Sunday to be the biggest church on the block with the biggest pastor salary.

Society now blames all your problems on your parents, how you grew up as a kid, who picked on you as a kid, but not your own choices you've made in life, no that couldn't be the issue. People don't have to be responsible for their actions anymore because their dad was an alcoholic so therefore they have the right to be. Mom spoiled me when I was a kid so I can't work hard for money because mommy didn't teach me how.

This is a feel good society and everyone is sucking it up. I'm majoring in psychology and opening my own practice to turn this nonsense around. EVERYTHING in life is a choice even if you are "predestine" to be a certain way, it is STILL your choice. Society needs to take control of their lives and be responsible for their actions. Choice, that's what it's all about.

Answer 2

People do need to taught about sin! I know most people these days don't want to hear about it!However people do need to know what is and is not sin. They may not need a steady dose of it on Every Sunday Morning and Evening as well as Wed. night. They still need to know what God does and does not approve of!A little "Hellfire and Damnation" go's a long way. Right along with the Jesus loves you and God will forgive you! If people do not hear the Good news they will be turned off and leave the church!There must be a healthy mixture of both!

Answer 3

The real issue is not sin by itself. Christians ought to be taught how through the crucifixion of Jesus on the cross sin has been conquered forever (Hebrews 10:12). Christians now have the abundance of God's grace and the gift of God's righteousness to reign in life and over sin (Roman 5:17). Sin has no dominion over Christians because they are not under the law but grace (Romans 6:14). Christians should be taught that they have God's righteousness to be saints and are therefore dead to sin (Romans 6:2) and not under condemnation (Romans 8:1). Christians should know that they are always righteous in Christ even when they fall and pick themselves up again to walk in grace to break the influence of sin over them. Churches should preach God's solution to sin and not remind Christians of their sin and bring them back under condemnation.

Answer 4

Many preachers has stop preaching about sin is that it will expose their own sin, But There is a True time frame that we don't have to keep on preaching against sin, Hebrews 6:1-3 Leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go onto perfection-------You can finish reading it, We are to come to a point that we don't need to keep on preaching salvation, But we are to grow in the lord to eat meat in due season, Heb.5:12

Answer 5

You answered your question in the the first line... sin is not preached because sin is not popular. Hell is not preached that much either because people don't want to hear about Hell, they only want their ears tickled. You are exactly right, sin is a HUGE issue and is very rampant in our world. I thank God that my Pastor preaches the unadulterated Word of God. He preaches what GOD gives him, not what the congregation wants to hears. I am thankful for that.

Answer 6

Because they're afraid of losing members...

i.e. Joel Osteen


There needs to be a balance from the pulpit......and not preaching on sin & repentance every now and then is wrong....it needs to be spoken!

Answer 7

The only unforgivable sin is rejecting the offer of God's forgiveness. This is repeatedly blaspheming the Holy Spirit when you know for a fact he's calling you.

Answer 8

Because religion has harped on the negative for long enough. Noone can be perfect. And it's time to get over the guilt trips that cause us all to burden our brothers and sisters with self-righteous and hypocritical rhetoric!
We are living in a time were our spiritual survival is at stake. Will we end up in a hell-like reality? Or a Heavenly one? We need to concentrate on real spiritual experience, to overcome doubt and fear.
Not waste our time on Ego trips!

Answer 9

Faith Assembly was great, but suddenly after the pastor turned his church into a Maga church. He changed his form of preaching. He completely changed and preaches now to satify its members and totally turned away from the real and proper way to preach..

Answer 10

preaching about sin would probably drive some people and their tithes away from their church
