We are all sinners. There isn't a person on this planet Christian or non-Christian, who hasn't done or said something short of the grace of God. However, we must all strive to be the best people we can be and fulfill the destiny that God has planned for us. When a mighty man or woman of God fall from grace we are all too quick to laugh, ridicule and point the finger rather than pray. Christians and non-Christians alike are all God's children, and we are all in the need of prayer.

Jimbo you seem a bit confused. No one is free from sin. Whenever, we lie, say or do things in anger, swear, break the speed limit, hold content against or fellow man, use the Lord's name in vain, lust, etc, etc, etc, these are all sins and everyone whether Christian or non-Christian are guilty of at least one of these sins. Whether big or small sin is sin.

True,
That is a big mistake non Christians make when they point to a Christian that has fallen as an example of why we are a bad Religion.
They do not realize that we all fall, and we are all in need of Redemption and each others Prayers and support.
Good Luck and God Bless!

Caveman, I'm glad to know that you are a child of God, so I send Christian greetings to you. While Christians do fall short of God's glory you should find out where the Bible tells us that Christians are sinners... you won't find it. As a matter of fact, in the eyes of God we have become the righteousness of God, the redeemed, a royal priesthood, saints, and all this by the blood of the Lamb. I know that in my flesh dwells no good thing. But, there is no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk after the flesh but after the Spirit. Romans ch 8:1. Also, if I may, not everyone is a child of God. Everyone is God's creation, for the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. We are told in Romans ch 8 that we who have the Spirit of Christ are the children of God. Jesus said "that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. Unless you've been born again, you are not God's child but creation. God bless. You can answer me back if you wish. Don't look to the world to affirm who you are. Look to the Bible. The world is critical like their father, who is the accuser of the brethren. But God says we are the righteous.

Yup. Saved by grace.
Bill Gaither did a song called, "Sinner Saved By Grace".

Right you are, brother. However, let's all remind ourselves of Paul's admonition that we must constantly be on our toes, particularly among nonbelievers. Our calling above all is to be witnesses, and the skeptics don't care what we know unless they know that we care. We must be vigilant in our love, particularly of the nonbeliever. Blessings!

I agree. I am a Christian and I am a sinner. I strive not to but I do. Amen to your thoughts.

Christians arent sinners they are suckers. Believe what you want but keep it to yourself. Its pretty annoying when self rightous people try to push their propaganda on other folks. You speak about "finger-pointing" but thats your finger.
