is every person separated from GOD BECAUSE OF SIN?

Question

romans 3-9;20

Answer 1

I would say rebelliousness keeps us separated from GOD.
We have a choice, another term for it is called; free will.


† Exodus 23:21
Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him.


I would say that HE wants us sinners to come forward and call upon HIS name.
Jesus Christ ate with sinners.

In the Bible, it reads;

† Mark 2:17
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

† The Calling of Matthew
9As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
10While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples. 11When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"
12On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

† Luke 15 - The Parable of the Lost Sheep
1Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. 2But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."
3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Answer 2

dad, the Jews say sin translates to "missing the mark". I think in modern day parlance that might be "mistake"? Depending upon your perspective that ancient Genesis story can be translated differently. Most Christians say the "original" sin was eating from the "tree of Knowledge"? If that's so, then why do they send their children to school and all? Actually, it was the "tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil". Maybe God, Himself doesn't believe in "good and evil" as it relates to Him?? Maybe the only "sin" there is against God, is thinking there is "sin" against God??? Maybe there's only "right and wrong" as it relates to fellow human beings? Maybe "good" and "evil" are fallacies? That Jesus once said "whatever" (whatever is a pretty encompassing word, don't ya' think?), you shall bind shall be bound, and "whatever" you shall loosen shall be undone, on earth and in heaven. When Christians say for it is "written", so what? "Whatever" would seem to indicate we can "undo" it, or "put it in place"? Whatever??

Answer 3

aparently all you have to do is not blasphemy against the holy ghost because you cant loose your salvation if you believ that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). It is impossible to lose salvation (1 John 5:13). So you can sin whenever you like dont worry about repentance either you can never go to hell.

Answer 4

Yes. We cannot completely commune with God other than through prayers of repentance with sin in our lives.

Answer 5

Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Romans 8:39
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Answer 6

ALL have sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God.

What is the definition of all? ALL IS ALL AND THAT IS ALL ALL IS.

However there is hope.

"The wages of sin is death, BUT the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"

Answer 7

They are before they are saved. And when they sin after that they are separated unless they ask for forgiveness.

Answer 8

Sin separates us all from God, but those that believe in his Son have that connection reestablished through the work he did for us on Earth.

Answer 9

Sin separates. Choice is the other main thing. YHVH offers us a "contract" like marriage, that brings salvation and eternal life, but most people refuse it..

Answer 10

Yes,Unless their sin has been covered by the blood of Jesus
