If I believe that God created me the way that I am [sinful].Does that mean that it is okay to sin?

Question

Many are using the excuse that God has made me this away.I do not believe that but lets say that He does.
What happened to self denail? Can I do whatever I want because thats the nature that God has given me?
Mat 16:24 "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."
I take that to mean that we are to deny what we ourselves want to do and follow Jesus, not giving into the works of the flesh.

JOAN:
1John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the [blood] of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Rev 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and [washed us from our sins in his own blood],

Mar 16:16 ''He that [believeth] and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.''

There is no salvation in baptism.Our sins are washed away in His Blood, not the water as pointed out in Mark 16:16. We are saved because we believe as told in John 3:16, baptism is an act of obedience and exceptance into the church.
We are to be buried with Him in baptism.Only things that are dead are to be buried.

Col 2:12 "Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead."

JOAN: Please forgive me I ran out of space.Aren't you the lucky one? I did want to thank you for your answer to my question, and let you know that these scriptures are as I veiw them.

SOME OF YOU AT THE BOTTOM MAYBE DIDN"T READ THE QUESTION.

Answer 1

I offer to you Galatians 2:17-21, which I will not put before you in its entirety... only this
"But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!... I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me, I do not set aside the grace of God;"...
It is by the grace of God, and the perfect sacrifice of Christ that I am at all able to take up my cross, deny myself and walk daily with Him.

Thank you for your question. And I concur with your assessment.

Answer 2

No way can any one stop the imperfections of sin that they are born in from Adam, that has all dying from birth and prone to any number of the things that can cause death before 70 or so at old age. Because of the imperfections of sin, then deliberate sin can come to be whether it is easy or not, or there is guilt or not. If the conscience becomes seared then sin does not seem to matter to these, as in last days. 2Tim.3:1-7;

Everything matters to those that deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Jesus. They can have problems but endure Matt.10:34-38;

Answer 3

We are born with Original Sin that we inherited from Adam and Eve. Original Sin and any consequences of it are washed away in Baptism as instituted by Jesus. It is from that point that we are to follow in the ways and teachings of God. When we break any of the commandments given to Moses we are turning away from God and placing ourselves back in Mortal Sin which is death to the soul.

Answer 4

WE were born with a sinful nature. that is correct. But God tells us to Love and Obey Him, and have the character of Christ. He tells us that by the Holy Spirit living withint us, that we can be overcomers and not even want to sin. In 1 John 3:9 we are told that those born of God cannot sin. WE will not deliberately sin when we are Gods. THere may be soething we dont even know is a sin, when we are a new beliefer and God will show us and give us answers on how to overcome it, but ones that are truly Gods will not continue in sin, once born again. Once we give our desires to GOd and take on His desires, we wont want to sin, as we are like Christ. Tempting us with sin would be liek offering up a huge plate of cow dung and a spoon , saying, eat of this. OF course we wouldnt and wouldt want to. SIn will be as ugly to us as it is to Jesus God commands us to obey, He doesnt just merely suggest it. ITs all thru the Bible. Grace will cover us what we dont know and before we are saved. But all have to know Jesus to be saved and come into obedience. Grace will not continue to cover wilful continued sin. God forbid.

Once we give our will to Gods and do only HIs will, the whole things begins so clear. Plan of salvation is so easy and straight forward, even a child can understand it all.
Love Jesus, OBey Jesus think like JEsus, speak like JEsus, live for Jesus, confess sins, turn from them, confess Jesus as Lord and saviour, and you are saved.
NO need to complicate it, but there are things in the Bible that take time to understand that will help us in our christian walk, so we need to spend more time in the Bible studying and in prayer. MOre we do, the more we get and the sooner it all falls into place. OBedience leads to blessing still and disobedience still leads to curse.
Can we continue to sin and it be ok. Words were this on that one: GOD FORBID. Many today say that we cant be like JEsus and stop sinning. But we can, or God would not have commanded it. Jesus didnt sin as He perfectly obeyed the Father, that is the power of obedience.

Answer 5

You maximum in lots of situations gets some moronic solutions at here, yet with a bit of luck you will get a pair of sound solutions additionally. Your first question replaced into would desire to we proceed to flow to church and the respond is a distinctive sure. Scripture demands us to proceed to fulfill mutually. while devil tempted Eve, she replaced into on my own. while devil tempted Jesus, He replaced into on my own. it is once you're maximum susceptible. the place ever 2 or 3 are gathered in Jesus' call, he would be there interior the process them and it is for specific that devil merely isn't everywhere around. the only dumb question is the only you do no longer ask. Jesus died for our sins because of the fact the wages of sin is death. we are all sinners and should be seperated from God because of the fact He can not stand to look upon sin. Jesus died so as that we as sinners ought to repent of our sin. so which you will possibly set that directly God sent His basically begotten Son into this international so as that whosoever believes on Him shall no longer die yet have eternal existence. Jesus got here to die for our sins because of the fact he's the way, the fact, and the existence. no person come to the father different than by way of Him. So in different words we are sinners who should die (non secular death - to be separated from God) yet because of the fact of Jesus' sacrifice we've been given the determination of repenting of our sins and being judged righteous interior the sight of God. i'm hoping this has helped. God bless you and Jesus did love all individuals adequate to die so as that we could spend eternity in heaven with Him. do no longer supply up assembly mutually. hit upon a stable Bible coaching church and a stable preacher.

Answer 6

I don't believe that God created us WITH sin, He created us with the freedom to choose how we live our lives, andbecause sin has entered the human race, through Adam, we now all have a natural empathy to sin and all its attractions.....
For example...:
I Don't believe babies "sin"....they act and react in the only way they know how, Jesus probably said "no!", when He got to the terrible twos, that doesn't make it a sin. Its a child's way of learning what they can and cannot do, they don't know boundaries and "sin"
Sin is a deliberate choice to go against God's way, and going with Satan's offerings......

Answer 7

Many people justifies action with twisted bible verses. I've done the same thing in the past (before I got saved), justifying what I wanted with "God made me just the way I am".
"Mankind did not witness Satan's beginning, but by God's design shall see his end, one of ceaseless torment and humiliation." (study bible NKJV)
We never saw how "sin" began, but that doesn't mean we have to live in it until God gives it it's end.

Again, great question, one that makes you think and respond.

Answer 8

No, No, No a thousand times No.
1 Corinthians 10:13........!

Answer 9

have you sinned even once since you accepted Jesus?
1 Jn 2:1

Answer 10

Romans 7:14-25
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
