Subject: Is It Human to Sin? |
Bible Note: Hello lookn…, Thank you for making your intentions more clear. The way you describe asking questions on the forum can be appreciated as long as those questions aren’t “loaded”. My statements about the pot stirring were specific to the clear, public record of your posts. It appears that a lot of members have had questions about your intentions. No offense was or is intended. Consider this though. I have always heard it said (something like this) that if a person has a problem with someone else, and then with a different someone and then with a different someone, it should become obvious at some point that it’s not everyone else that has the problem. So if the pot seems to always, or regularly stir around your posts, you might consider changing it up a bit. In answer to your question the answer is no. I have never heard a preacher say that we sin because we’re only human. And yes it is my position that 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”. Heb 10:26 ESV 26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, Heb 10:19-23 ESV 19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. God bless, Jeff |
