• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why do people think it is ok to Sin?

So if righteousness is not automatically inherited, but rather takes action by either God (SovGrc) or us (Armin); then sin isn't inherited either. Rather it takes an action for each person to become a sinner.

Look at the balance of the text. Either sin & righteousness are both automatically inherited, or neither are. My original question is asking how you guys reconcile this.

-A

Great question, that cannot be answered without some major wresting of the text.

I was wondering why people think it's ok to Sin because Jesus has already died for us.

Is sin ever ok? No.

If Jesus died for us to provide us a way out of slavery from sin, why do we keep sinning? We don't have to. We can live above sin.

Did Jesus die on the cross for the forgiveness of all our sins future, past, present?
Yes.

People don't think it's okay to sin. They have been deceived by the Father of lies and some truly believe that they are walking the path of Righteousness because of the deception. Wide is the path................... and many there are that go down it.

It started in the garden of Eden when Satan caused them to believe that they weren't who they already were.
In the day that you eat of the fruit you will be like God knowing good and Evil
is what he said causing them to believe that they were not already in the Image of God or to put it plainly Like God. He has continued on until this very day and will continue until the end, blinding people to the truth. Until he is removed there will never be any peace from the lies which deceive. Only by trusting the Holy Spirit who is given to be our guide can we overcome Him.
