1 | Is It Human to Sin? | Gen 1:27 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 188495 | ||
Jeff, 1. Of course that is my assumption. Is sin in the Bible limited to deeds? If not, then my question would regard sin as all inclusive, that is, sin in word, thought, attitude, and/or deed? You responded, "...true Christians do not 'sin all the time, everyday'. Christians do sin (I certainly do) but not 'all the time'. All the time is as good as saying that it is my lifestyle. It is not my lifestyle to sin. Scripture says that it is not the lifestyle of any Christian to 'sin all the time, every day'." Now, if a genuine Christian does not sin - that is sin in all its forms as discussed above - all the time, everyday, it would appear that there is the possibility that a genuine Christian can spend, at the least, a whole day without sinning. If not, then, it seems to me that a genuine Christian is sinning all the time, everyday. Maybe the phrase "all the time" is confusing. I do not mean every single second (that's why I added "everyday"). What I do mean by "all the time" is the committal of sin - any sin - on a daily basis wherein not one day passes without having engaged in some form of sin, whether in in word, thought, attitude, or deed. 2. As far as your "Biblical guidance", you asserted that "Scripture says that it is not the lifestyle of any Christian to 'sin all the time, every day'," and merely cited Heb 10:26 and 10:19-23. You failed to demonstrate how the verses show your position is valid. 3. Now, if it is agreed that it is the lifestyle of a genuine Christian to not sin, then my question, I don't think, is out of place. If the genuine Christian's lifestyle is to not sin but rather be obedient to God, is it possible that a genuine Christian can be obedient for, at least, a whole day? I was not "rewording" the first question but asking another question based on your response. However, I may have missed something. Please clarify for me how my question is "a far cry from where you began". |
