If Jesus already paid the price for the sins of the world,?

Question

why do Christians get mad when Christians sin? I can see them getting mad at non-Christians who don't have their sins forgiven, but if God has already forgiven someone through Jesus's blood, why don't Christians overlook the sins as well?

This is a serious question. I'm not trying to put anyone down.

Ihalmiut- What you''re saying is a Catholic teaching, isn't it? From my "TBN education", I got the impression that one can just "charge sin to the account of Jesus". I swear those were the exact words I heard. So don't some of the Christian groups say that if you accept Jesus into your heart, that is it? All of your sins are forgiven?

Jonathan- Yeah i thought about that, but I figured the rest of what I said would explain it. I realize that the rest of humanity is just in the state of "possibility" on the forgiveness front, provided they eventually accept Jesus.

Venom!- for the same wacked out reasons that Christians killed non-Cristians for hundreds of years. There are some people who can't tolerate anyone who is different. If that fact condemns Islam, then I guess it condemns Christianity too.

Venom! - I honor your pain and completely disassociate myself from those actions, as would the vast majority of Muslims. May God grant you peace.

Venom! -I would never be so arrogant as to imagine that I could comprehend your suffering. You have clearly convinced yourself that Islam is evil and requires the deaths of non-believers. However believing something is not the same thing as it being true. I was really offended by your comments. I was reaching out to you sincerely and you just threw it back in my face. As that what Christ taught you to do?

Venom- I thought Martin S.'s choice of Ephesians 4 17-32 was particularly relevant to my last comments to you.

Theophilus- I absolutely agree that the killing of innocence is never excusable. I'm not sure how this relates to the question. However, in war, every side sees himself as "just". I have the feeling you are trying to imply that Christians have never gone to war unjustly in the name of their religion. I'm sure you know that that is untrue.

Sorry, forgot to proofread the last one!

Answer 1

1) Not all Christians get mad, of course. Maybe those that do are embarrassed for their fellow Christian. I have heard that some people get mad because they are embarrassed.

2) The bible tells us to *avoid* sinful Christians, but *not* to avoid sinful non-Christians! It's true. The sins are pretty specific:

1Co 5:9-13
9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;
10 I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters; for then you would have to go out of the world.
11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he should be an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler not even to eat with such a one.
12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?
13 But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.

So much for the "do not judge" Christians. That verse was speaking in a particular situation, as can clearly be seen here.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Hi,
Ok let's say you work your butt off to buy a new house for your family, and then another Christian breaks in and kills your whole family. I'm sure you would sit down and explain to this so-called Christian Brother that you're not mad, and not to worry because Jesus had his sorry butt covered!?
That's why it's pretty hard to just let stuff go. After all we are still human beings with all the emotions that go along being such. You'd lose your family, and it would feel like all that work was riped right out of your heart. Job must have felt the same way. This life can be hard enough without the sins of others making things even worse. Christians should function at a much higher level then the rest of the world. It should come withnthe territory.
Let's not make excuses for lame lazy Christians. Jesus said not all those saying Lord Lord will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Answer 3

Hi, as a Christian I believe in hating the sin but not the sinner. We all make mistakes, but if we are truly sorry and believe in Jesus Christ as our saviour we can all be forgiven. I don't get mad when a Christian or anybody else sins, I have empathy for them and pray for them. Everybody sins, but as true Christians (tempted like everybody else) I believe we should always work on becoming better people, and be truly sorry whenever we do something that we know isn't in line with what God wants for us! Hope this helped!

Answer 4

Same thing as when your brother breaks something. Just showing we care. Christians should never over look sin in anyone, Christian or not. You must make the move to be forgiven from sin by God. You must come to the alter with a desire and pure heart and ask Christ for forgiveness. Then you must make the change in your life as proof to man and God that you have been forgiven. Christians should be mad at sin, not the person.

Answer 5

Because they are not true Christians. What is the point in getting mad at anyone for sinning since as is said, "ALL have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." We are in the same boat as anyone else in the world today so why get mad at anyone? Rather, shouldn't a true Christian be telling those that have not accepted Him as their true Saviour about Him and His love for them? Is that not what Jesus did? And how can a real true Christian be saying that Hitler or anyone else in enjoying Heaven when the bible clearly says those that have gone asleep are sleeping and waiting for Jesus to return to wake them and take them to Heaven? Show me one place in the bible that says anyone goes to Heaven when they die and I will give you $10,000 cash money. It is just not there. And no true Christian would say Hitler is in Heaven in the first place as he did not believe in God and if anyone deserves Hell, it would be someone like him. But we are not to judge as even Hitler may have given his life to God before he died and we don't know his heart, only God does. If we are to be called the name of Christian, we need to take on the nature of Christ of whom the name comes. We are to be Christ-like, ergo the name Christian.

Answer 6

This normally comes into play if the person is in a role of influence in the church, pastor, Sunday school teacher, etc.

The fact that a Christian is still sinning after salvation, is a sign of weakness in the Christian, and the church does not want a person who has spiritual weakness to be in a position of influence in the church.

However in 1John 3:9 it is said,
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Some, not many, in the church would say that anyone who sins was never born of God.

Most of us realize that everyone sins, but that we do not deliberately set out to sin. When we sin, it is only because we are imperfect human beings.

ADD ON:
At least when Christians went to war it was a just war, and not the killing of innocents because they do not believe their way. That is what has to stop, and I hope you agree.

Answer 7

First off, sin is nasty. We don't like to see it in ourselves or in others. We should avoid becoming judgmental, however, because "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

The reality is that as believers, we are commanded to and should want to obey (and therefore glorify the Lord) so it pains us when we don't. The other reality is that we ARE forgiven, so the Christian walk is a juxtaposition. We shouldn't sink into despair over our (or others') sins, yet we also should not live with wild abandon.

This was a good question. :)

Answer 8

The point is, do we continue to sin just because we are given grace? The answer is NO! The above question is a paraphrase of what is written in the Bible.

Romans 6:1  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

GOD bless

Answer 9

the authentic question is what value did Jesus pay? If Jesus somewhat paid the value for sin then why is he seated on the staggering hand of God somewhat than paying the suited value of eternity in hell? there is something rotten afoot going at here...

Answer 10

Is,"The paid the Price for Sin Account", being overdrawn?
