Nobody has found Christ. Sin is an outdated concept.
Jesus, if he existed, is a dead guy. The stuff written about him was written decades after he died.
Sin is a list of rules that Christians have that you can't follow if you're human. Those rules include even prohibitions against thinking something, which, if you're human, is quite impossible.
Christians cherry pick their rules from a larger list that you can't follow because they contradict each other. In reality, they cherry pick rules roughly to coincide with what society has already worked out. For example, because of social changes and new realization of people's roles in society, we started to learn in the last 100 years that women should be given an equal position in society and slavery should be banned. Before that, Christians used scriptures to show what they thought a woman's "proper" place was, which amounted to making babies and obeying her husband. And before that, Christians used scriptures to show how some humans were less than other humans and should be made slaves. These days, Christians use the same scriptures to promote equality, by just cherry picking a different set of "sins".

is there is such a thing as sin, then it is impossible to live without sinning, with or without the late JC. christians feel that there are so many things that represent "sin" that it is virtually impossible to get through one day without sinning.
As far as finding christ, where? It has been rumored that he died a couple of thousand years ago. Unlikely that he is running around today.
Basically what you have found is a lot of people who run around telling each other how wonderful it is to "Find christ" and do a lot of gay bashing and athiest condemnation to make themselves feel "Better" than anyone else.
The fact is, that if people would spend less time worring about sinning and more time being generous, kind and considerate of others, there wouldn't be much room for sins.
You can see that christians think they are a world apart, After finding christ they are holier than everyone else.
Have you ever thought that religion is just another form of the Shaman and witch doctors of the olden days?

Depends what you believe and how conveniently you edit your Bible I suppose. Things like commercialism, celebrity, even body piercings and tattoos can be a sin according to the Bible. So if you live in a cabin in the woods and escape the city and all it's temptations of spending cash on useless things then yes. If you 'covet your neighbor's' Plasma TV and feel inferior because you don't have the big house and a Hummer then that's a sin. If you watch trash celebrity scandals and 'idolize false Gods' by supporting Hollywood, that's a sin. Fall into the 'gluttony & sloth' that most Americans fall into by binge eating and eating for pleasure and not sustinance, yet another sin.
sin, sin, sin, and be sure to point the finger at everyone else to distract the fact that you are a guilty sinner
So be sure to give me all the thumbs down you possably can, that will make it all ok. But consider this, it is also a Biblical sin to support Athiesm, and Bill Gates is a self proclaimed Athiest, also the richest man in America, and the head of Microsoft. So the 8 out of 10 of you running Windows are sinning just by buying your computers, if you want to get uber specific.

No, even after we are saved we aren't perfect, because we are still living in our corruptible flesh bodies in this fallen world full of sin. The difference is that as a Christian, we will start to view sin the way God views it and not desire to stay in it when we recognize it.
However, we are to strive to live as free from sin as possible--we are no longer under its power, and when we sin we as Christians have the Holy Spirit indwelling us to convict us and guide us back on track. The sins committed by a Christian are much less likely to be habitual strongholds or a whole lifestyle of sin because we don't desire to follow that lifestyle--they will be occasional lapses here and there, or leftovers from our former lives that we become convicted of as we grow in Christ.
Actually the closer we get to God, the more little sins we see that we never realized were wrong before--the more we grow as a Christian, the more we will strive not to compare ourselves to other shallow Christians, but to Christ's example, and the more we will realize how much we fall short compared to Him.
Praise God for His amazing grace that covers all these sins through the blood of Jesus Christ!

We will never be perfect because Jesus is the only one that will ever be perfect. We have a new life, but are still fallible, live in a fallen world, and that's why we are forgiven if we do sin, which we will. That's why God sent Jesus! You really have to stay close to the Lord, and stay in the Word. Life without sin, and old sins is always better.
God Bless You

I guess it may be possible. What isn't in a world like ours. But Christians believe that you are born a sinner and can't really help sinning even though you have accepted christ. The best we can do is acknowledge it and repent to christ whenever we do. But it doesn't justify our actions at all even though you know it would be forgiven when you ask christ's forgiveness.

If you would understand the nature of man you would know that there is no Christian that doesn't sin. The main issue is that you do not sin for a couple of reasons. It is grievous to the Holy Spirit, fellowship is broken with God and there is punishment for sin in this life and you will suffer loss in the next life. In the Epistles you will find the Apostles all saying "do not sin." Therefore, we must do our best to not sin. Any Christian that tells you that they do not sin is a liar and the truth is not in him.

All have sinned and fallen short. Just because we have found Christ does not mean that we have been restored to a perfect nature. We still have the fallen nature and still live in a fallen world and will still continue to fail to live the life that we desire. The difference is in the desire and the way that our failures to live up to that standard are dealt with.
Hope that helps.

That is impossible we are sinners by nature.
It is to see Jesus"s example and follow in his foot steps that will keep you straight and upright! Example What would Jesus do?
He set the example for us to follow we need to talk with him at all times because he is with us at all times!
When you pray and at the end say Amen do you feel separated? Like hanging up the phone? Allot of people do this without even knowing it! our walk and personal relationship with him is twenty four seven .
remember our lord and Savior best friend Shepperd redeemer the one and only that loves you no matter what, is wanting you to talk with him all day!
To many people make the lord a complex situation he isn't he gives us the knowledge to live our life to the fullest in a very simple way ! See between the lines of Christianity and you will be amazed at what the lord has in store for you!!!!!

You cant NOT sin, no matter how hard you try. Only person who never sinned was Jesus (probably in other religions there are people but I'm not aware of any). You can be a better person, (or a worse one) and maybe sin LESS, but never not sin.

John 8:7
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
1 John 1:10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
We are built to sin. Genetically programmed from the time Adam took the first bite. We just have to live spiritually rather than in the flesh, then we will sin less.
