Assuming you have a "free will" to exercise, how many times will you freely choose sin and reject God today?

I have free will, and I will not freely choose sin and reject God today. That is my plan. I might be tempted to lust after some dessert, and in a moment of weakness I might do that, especially if I'm really hungry. Then in my flesh I might accidentally sin. The Holy Spirit works in me regularly to take away my desires to sin in many ways, and I am made more like him on a very gradual basis. I am so thankful for Jesus!

Why do you atheists think being a Christian is a sorry excuse to live in sin? I am ashamed that professing Christians have lived their life that way, but that is not what everyone does, that is not what we are supposed to do, and that is not a blanket example of Christianity.

Why, is there a daily limit I don't know about?

On average, I sin about 3 or 4 times a day. In doing so, I do not reject God. I periodically reflect on my weaknesses and ask for strength to overcome my proclivity for thinking outside of God's written commandments. Periodically, I also ask God to forgive my daily sins and especially the really bad ones I do.

I hope I have answered your question, but somehow I doubt it was what you were looking for.

Being saved does not mean we will never sin, we still sin, it is our nature to do so inherited because of original sin of Adam.
Now..That does not mean we have a Licsense to sin, we are not to just blow this off, a true Christian is aware of his/her sin and repents of it, gets up and tries again, this is Spiritual warfare.
Paul wrote; I fought the good fight, I finished the race, I kept the faith, he neve said he won it.
Christianity is not about winning the fight or the race as Christ has already done that for us, but we must show up for it and finish it.

paul was perplexed by his own sin, he wrote.
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

and:
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.


Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.


Rom 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that [it is] good.


Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.


Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find not.


Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.


Rom 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.


Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

Assuming an omni-(insert here) god is assuming no free will so 'choosing' sin is rejecting the 'idea' of god, not god itself.

As often as possible - the sin concept, as well as the god concept, are merely tools of weak-minded men trying to control others.

I no more hate your god thasn I hate Snidely Whiplash or the Tazamanian Devil - one doesn't hate fantasy creatures. I do, however, hate attempts at controlling me by you, using your imaginary friends for justification.

earlier human beings settle for or reject faith of any kind, they strengthen a disposition and habit types. this is the proper making use of tension at the back of how they use faith of their on a daily basis. they could abuse it and use it as a gadget for inner maximum earnings or to wreck others. An occasion could be somebody who has substantial anger subject concerns and management skills. They set up a church, grow to be a preacher, and force as plenty anger into human beings as they are able to. besides the undeniable fact that this is no longer the faith this is at fault. this is the fault of the human beings who use Christianity in this style of undesirable gentle. God gets the credit for this nonsense. making use of the Christian label does no longer something yet redirect all effects of individuals's movements in the direction of God. i think of all of us could desire to be held to blame for what each and every individuals gain this as to guard the real nature of Christianity. yet we at the instant are not held to blame. And for this, a great false impression of the faith and what it skill exists in the international, inflicting a distortion of religion and communities of non-believers. the nice and cozy button isn't approximately hating Christians or Atheists. Its bearing directly to the way you employ what you think and what the implications are of your movements. the final public of Christians in this international use it for stable and easily stable. this is, turning out to be a inhabitants of toddlers who're selfless and prepared to place others past to them. They try this without passing judgment on people who do no longer shop on with. yet returned, there are enthusiasts available who use faith greater as a weapon or gadget to create resentment and hatred. heritage has known this. To promptly answer your question, if Atheists surely have faith Christians hate them, then they're wrong. An genuine Christian would not hate all of us. another kind is a fraud.
