    Yes. We are all sinners, even after we are saved (1 John 1:8).

    Because we have all sinned against a perfectly holy and righteous God, we all deserve eternal separation from God in hell (Rom. 6:23). However, God loves us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus to die on the cross as our Substitute so we don't have to go to hell. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the grave three days later (1 Cor. 15:3-4). He gives eternal life freely to anyone who simply believes in Him. No one can be saved by doing good works. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Eph. 2:8-9).

    "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life" (John 6:47).

    Obviously. Look at the fat clergy and clergy who molest children.

    In 16 years since I was saved at 42, the Lord has helped me cure dozens of addictions and character flaws. He's still working to rid me of pride (it's getting in my way of loving people).

    I'm not a sinner; by nature I'm a saint who sins sometimes without wanting to; a work in progress.

    Unfortunately God doesn't download a perfect character into us when He gives us His spirit. This process helps me in two ways: I get to experience Him through His leadership, and I can't help but be patient with others who are caught in the same snares that I was.

    I can't wag a finger at anyone for anything.

    I don't know what will happen to those who use the sacred cross as a doormat to wipe their dirty feet on: but I know it won't be pretty.

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with taking advantage of Christianity's unlimited forgiveness

  • Sanctification in Christianity is the process by which through God’s grace someone becomes holy (the process of becoming holy). As a Christian gets older and progresses through life they should see themselves becoming more and more detached from sin on the way to perfection and heaven. A Christian cannot be a slave to sin and make it to heaven

    I wholeheartedly agree the Christian Lion no longer practices sin.

    He has gone full pro.

    Notice the Christian furry says he does not practice sin. That's because he's so good at it, he doesn't need to practice.

    Yes.

    .

    All saved believers in Jesus are still sinners, who still sin (1 John 1:8). To say otherwise, means you lie and the truth is not in you (1 John 1:8-10).

    And I'm forgiven all sins past and future, and I'm going to heaven, no matter what. All and only because I believe in Jesus (Acts 10:43)

    Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell. The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed in Jesus for eternal life, or not.

    .

    The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death
