Am I a sinner?

[Tapioman]

I have been baptised as a Lutheran, and went with that all my life. Now when I have been trying to think my spiritual side, I've seen some difficulties between various doctrines. For example, am I sinner if I wouldn't practise same cults as a Catholic or an other Protestant would.

Is it that I am judged by what I do for my lord in my spare time (I don't go to the crurch that often, on Christmas sometimes) or is it all good? Could I worship my creator by living my life fullest, or should I follow some doctrine that I don't feel comfortable with? If I don't follow, am I a sinner, then?

What do you think?

We're all sinners! But if you want to sin less than now,follow the Master and renounce at the flesh.. But what you do doesn't save you, If you believe He exist in your heart you're saved by His grace. But I think that He appreciate if you believe in Him and also be good with people and help others..
But if you want to grow up spiritually I suggest you to visit a church

Romans 3:23. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

It is through Christ that we are righteous. If we needed works to be saved, it would not be grace. (Romans 11:6)

We do works to show that we are thankful to God and what he has done, yet they do not affect our salvation.

You should not follow anything you don't feel comfortable, but you need to examine why people do or do not believe to be doctrine. After careful study, and reading the bible you should begin to understand why something is or is not the way it is, and you should be more comfortable.

We're all sinners!

It depend from how you define that word. I think it is mistake to say we are sinner because we do sin. Sinner is one who have no relationship with God.

You are indeed a sinner because you are human, not because you are a Lutheran.

God's Word tells you to not forsake the assemblying together which menas you are commanded to go to Church.

What exactly does living your life to its fullest mean?

Nope. Biblically untrue.

You can have a relationship with Christ and go right on sinning.

Ask yourself if you've lusted or coveted or lied today? They are all sins, but they don't mean you don't have a relationship with Christ.

Great responses to your question here, yet you might consider coming over to the Lutheran sub-fora. There are a few Lutheran Pastors as well as quite a few knowledgeable and helpful Lutherans who have been where you are and struggled too long alone...myself included.

We would love to help you in any way they can.

We all need to be fed by the Word of God often to truly live our lives to the fullest. Without it, we wither.

Peace

Jesus said you must be born again.
That should sum it up.
If you've been born again you won't
be able to sin anymore... without
feeling deep pain and repenting.
You decrease, and He increases.

blessings,

What are you talking about? I didn't say if we sin, we have no a relationship with Christ.

You can have a relationship with Christ and go right on sinning.

Paul says in Romans 6:2 that we cannot live in sin if / because we are dead to sin.
