I guess for me it seems the longer a christian sins, the more sins the will commit. Time and circumstance will wear even the strongest person down. Look at what happened to David.....over his sins later in life, Uriah was setup and murdered, a plague broke out on the Israelities due to him taking an unauthorized census. My people die for King Davids sins.

The longer I live the more sins will entice me. The road to hell is very wide while the one to Heaven is very narrow. When we sin we need to learn from that sin and when it pops up again say "gee that one tried to get me before" and blow it off. The closer you get to God the more sins the devil will try to entice you with. It's a constant battle but one only ourselves can win.

No, because the longer I live the more time and chances I have to make up for the sins I've done in the past, and learn to become a better Christian. and I think it's worth enjoying life and being able to see all the things I won't miss out on. It all depends on your perspective of life.

No - the longer that I live, the more opportunities that I have to help others. Yes, I will be exposed to much more temptation in the future - but I look at it with optimism, as pessimism never helped anyone. If we live longer, we can impact the lives of others, helping fellow Christians through difficult times, aiding non-Christians by showing them Christian love and generally living the life that Jesus prescribed in the Gospels.

This is a hard question; in a way it is very frustrating the things that we as humans must go through, but we, unlike a lot of other people, have a wonderful saviour who died on a cross for us 2 thousand years ago to save us from our sins so that God would forgive us. I suppose that with God walking with me every step of the way, I can get through the temptation and although it seems hard sometimes to break habits and addictions (believe me, i know), God strengthens us to fight a good fight and NEVER back down to Satan. God Bless. :)

No. It doesn't frustrate me. We have always be exposed to sin no matter how hard we try. It was all because of Adam. Now that we have Jesus, we have more control over our lives. As long as we live our lives along his guide lines, we should be fine. I'm not saying we won't get tempted; Jesus did in the wilderness, so as long as we stay strong in our faith and pray a lot we'll be fine.

I don't expose myself to it. We have a choice just like you all do and we choose not to be yoked together with unbelievers.
I'm not trying to say we don't have trouble with our own demons but we have a choice on who we associate ourselves with, what we watch on television, what we consume, etc. Yes, it is hard. Yes, we struggle. That is why it is so important for us to read our Bibles daily to keep us in the Holy Spirit, in God's Word. That is our armor against the devil and his schemes.
We Christians are only here to spread God's word and if they do not want to hear it, then we move on, but we pray for those who are still wondering around in the dark.
-2 Corinthians 6:14
Do Not Be Yoked With Unbelievers
14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."[c]
17"Therefore come out from them
and be separate, says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you."[d]
18"I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
However, us Christians pray for you to seek the Lord whole-heartedly.
-1 Samuel 12:23
As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right.

what bothers me more is a number, though not all-- of 'Christians' don't even realize what they are doing is sin.
