Subject: Are christians sinners or not? |
Bible Note: Dear retxar, I understand and agree with your arguement concerning our position in Christ. We are no longer under the dominion of sin, but because we have a remnant of our corrupt nature within (the flesh), we still sin on a daily basis. I hope you also will agree, that in the world we live in, when a christian states that he is not a sinner, we must be ready to offer a biblical explanation of how it is we can make such a remarkable claim. Otherwise, most people will take it the wrong way and assume the worst: that we are either liars or decieved. I think it best to confess my weakness and brag on Christ's strength, which has lifted me from the bondage of sin, and has provided me with the grace to fight against it. John |
