OMG! What is wrong with Christians?

Question

Someone just told me it's ok to sin because Jesus died for our sins....

Are you kidding me? What church teaches that kind of thought?

No fireball he said those exact words to me.

Yay! fruitcake sent me a smile!

And David...if that was a comment about me being Mormon...then you need to take the LOG(not plank) out of your eye and learn not to judge.

Answer 1

Wrong........wrong.......wrong!!!

The apostle Paul told us "Shall we continue in sin? Certainly not"

But when we do sin......we have an advocate.....Jesus Christ....who covers all of our transgressions.

Sin is inevitable for everyone......including us believers. But Christ covers our sin. This does not mean that we should willfully sin.......no no no!

Answer 2

Fireball would be wrong.

It is never OK to sin. Just because we can be forgiven is no excuse. Sin brings pain to us and others and God. We face consequences for our sin. Grace is not a blank check for sinning.

Christ died to free us from being a slave to sin (entire book of Romans) Why would we willingly serve a slave master again? i wouldn't.

Of course, we still sin and we can be forgiven when we do. But I do question the salvation of anyone who thinks Christ died so we can sin all we want.

peter- If Christians thought is was OK to sin all they wanted to, I wouldn't have had any need to seek your forgiveness the other day- would have I?

Answer 3

Jesus died to free us from the bonds of sin. That does not mean that we are to continue to sin. We are freed from it. Romans 5:19-6:15, 1 John 2:1, Hebrews 10:26-39, and many other passages. It is not okay to sin.

Answer 4

"If God extends grace and forgiveness to us when we confess and repent of our sin, does that mean we are free to sin whenever and however we want to, as long as we intend to confess it? That might sound ludicrous but some first century believers actually suggested that if one's sin served to put a spotlight on the grace of God, perhaps we should just feel free to sin all the more! The Apostle Paul addressed this line of thinking in no uncertain terms:"

Romans 6:1-2
"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! how can we who died to sin still live in it?

Titus 2:11-12
"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, godly lives in the present age."

Answer 5

Sad that some people have such a distorted and perverted understanding of the cross, and all that Jesus suffered just to free us from sin and it's eternal consequences.

But I think this is where the scripture in Hebrews applies, that they trample under foot the blood of Christ, and for THEM, there is NO forgiveness.

Jesus told the woman caught in the act of adultery, "Go and sin no more."

Jesus told the man at the pool (waiting for an angel to touch the water so he could be healed), "Go and sin no more, lest something worse befall you."

The Old Testament prophets kept crying out, "REPENT", John the Baptist cried out, "REPENT", Jesus cries out "REPENT", and Paul calls us to repentance, as well.

Paul said, "Should we continue in sin that grace may abound? GOD FORBID NO!!!!!"

Sad, how satan has perverted the plain simple gospel message and twisted it so that some are blocked from entering the Kingdom of God! :-(

Answer 6

I'm a Christian, and this sounds very wrong to me, too! I have no clue what kind of person would teach/believe in this!
Although, they may have meant that you shouldn't be totally depressed because you sinned sometime in your life. But this doesn't give you license to sin knowingly just because you'll be forgiven.

Answer 7

if someone told you that , they are absolutely wrong- we cannot continue to sin , because Jesus died for our sins- that would make it cheap grace, and it was not cheap at all, it cost the perfect Son of God His life to save us. We still can sin after we become believers, however we will strive to live our lives to please Him, because we are crucified with Him, and our sin nature is killed. Christ's salvation is anything but cheap, but His grace is awesome- we need to live daily with the thought that we will please Him in all things.

Answer 8

This is the whiles of the enemy sowing bad seed.
In the middle-ages, it was common to put off baptism.
The idea being, to get baptised on your death-bed.
The thinking was that you'd be forgiven all sins.
This is just an attempt to manipulate G*D.

Answer 9

That someones understanding is clearly flawed. No Church Teaches that. This person needs to be taught the meaning of atonement.

Answer 10

Jesus is not died but he has been raised to God and he will be back to earth by the End of Days.
And even if,What make God scarify by his son or himself or whatever (as Christians believe) for the sake of people?
This doesn't make any sense. Do people are dearer for God more than his son ?
This is a good question, what is wrong with you, people.Where are your minds?

Answer 11

well, that's not how it's suppose to go. Christians are suppose to repent and not sin anymore. the human blood sacrifice of Jesus isn't suppose to be a moral carte blanch to do as they please then count on forgiveness and sins covered over by Jesus blood, consequences never experienced no matter how nasty they are. there are those kinds of Christians who imagine that they won't be held responsible for their wrongs while non-Christians will writhe forever in hell. a convenient theology, fer sure and i guess if that's the kind of people they are ... it shows.

**shrug** i'm no longer Christian. i no longer believe in human blood sacrifice as an appeasement of wrathful gods so all my mistakes have to be acknowledged and dealt with as i go along.
