Bible Question:
The Bible teaches that man was created by God to be like Him. Therefore, man was created without sin or a sin "nature". However, many times you will hear the preacher, referring to Christians, say, "We sin all the time." And adds as the reason or basis for this: "We're only human." My question: If God created humankind without sin, would not Christians be behaving more like humans when they do not sin? |
Bible Answer: Lookn, You have contributed some very questionable posts to the Forum since your registering as a member. Like others, I'm not quite sure how to receive your questions. At times I have the sense that you are trying to create a pot to stir for your own joy of watching it swirl. At other times I wonder if you might be posting illegally (as in not meeting the age requirements –at least 18 yoa). In either case or something very different please allow me to offer a bit of advice. If you are sitting under the teachings of a preacher that believes that as Christians “we sin all the time” and then minimizes or excuses that with something as ridiculous as “we’re only human” you need to very seriously consider finding a church where the pastor uses Scripture for the basis of his messages. Really, consider whether you’re in the right place. Jeff |
