We all sin, but we who have put our faith in Christ are forgiven our sins. That doesn't excuse us to continue sinning, but inspires us not to sin. That doesn't mean we cannot or will not sin, but by faith we begin to desire less and less our sin and more and more God's Will (that is, we desire more and more to keep His commandments). And in this effort we have the help of God's Holy Spirit.
O.o whooooo that makes total sense to me! I feel much better now ^^
Please try to be respectful of God and to be reverent toward His Word, which is the Holy Bible.
Some may not be Christian nor agree with Christian theology in general, but please be respectful of those that do and to Christendom in general.
People from all walks of life and backgrounds of faith are welcome here, including the backslidden and nonbelievers, as well.
We may not all agree... but we can agree to disagree, at least.
However, any potential disagreements still need to remain civil in nature, and should stay as such.
Please, just debate the points of your position, if necessary, and refrain from ad hominem attacks. Slandering and name calling serve no productive purpose.
