Subject: Are christians sinners or not? |
Bible Note: I understand what you are saying (that admitting one is a "sinner" is a matter of humility), and the example from scripture you gave is a good one. (One of the FEW other examples in scripture I knew would come up) However, more times than not the plea of "Christians are sinners" is just used as a smoke screen to justify a Christian who wants to live like the world. That old "Christians aren't perfect, only forgiven" excuse that does not bring glory to the grace that forgives, but only glorifies the weakness of the flesh. retxar |
