lol! I find this thread amusing, some say that a christian can sin and is not a sinner others say otherwise, let me ask a question,

What is sin? Who is a sinner?

simply put a sin is an action, a verb in a matter of sin.
A sinner is a person with the nature of sin

For those who are christians (non christians wont understand) before we knew Christ we had the nature of sin due to the fact that Adam's fall corrupted us all and made us slaves of the devil, now Jesus came and redeemed us by His blood so now we belong to Christ.

So is it logical to say that because a christian commits sin that the ransom of Christ is now worthless? do you say because your jewel falls to the dirt that its no longer yours? No! far from it. As christians we belong to Jesus and marked by the Holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1 v13).

And do not decieve yourselves that christians cannot sin for it will be a big lie, if it were true then God wont have need to be a forgiving father, only by constant prayer and study of the word can we cut down drastically on sin. Thank God for His forgiveness! Halleluya!

So a christian can sin but he is not a sinner he is a Christian and nothing and no one, not even the devil can pry away a Christian from Christ (unless the christian gives him permission)

So a christian can sin but he is not a sinner he is a Christian and nothing
What a nonsensical statement. Its confused and deluded Christians like these that allow non believers to ridicule Christianity. What is a "Christian"? Just a follower of Christianity faith. And we know that many Christian are still sinners. The Bible makes it clear, and Paul made it clear in his numerous epistles - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)

Now, a "Born Again Christian" is a Christian that has renounced a life of sin - hence he becomes a "New creature in Christ". He has repented of his sins, therefore "The old things passed away; behold, new things have come". You are not a "new creature" if you are still committing sin. Subsequently, a person is NOT a sinner, only because he is not sinning anymore -and not because he is a Christian or born again Christian.

This is what the Bible calls "Grace". You are no longer judged under the full weight of the law, because now, you have someone - your advocate (Christ) whose blood pleads with the Judge (God) for your forgiveness when you commit sin - all premised on the fact that your repentance is genuine; and what is "Repentance" - Turning with sorrow from a past course of action; The changing of one's mind for the better; Complete turning from sin. SO you see, a "Christian" whose life is still steeped in sin has not genuinely repented, and is therefore still a sinner.

The Bibles says - To receive eternal life according to the gospel of Christ, a person must be forgiven of sins by Jesus' blood. (Ephesians 1:7; Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 2:24). But not all will be forgiven; because not all have genuinely repented.

The Bible also says - Many people, who believe in the Lord, will expect Jesus to accept them at the judgment. Instead He will reject them because they have not done the will of the Father. (Matthew 7:21-23). So we know that the premise of everlasting life is based on obeying Gods word - Christian or NOT.

The Bible says -  Jesus is the author of eternal salvation unto all them that[b] obey[/b] Him. (Hebrews 5:9, Acts 10:35; Luke 6:46; 1 John 2:3-6.)

According to your earlier assertions - "simply put a sin is an action", and "A sinner is a person with the nature of sin".
Subsequently, Anyone who sins has the nature of a sinner, and is therefore committing the cation of "sin", which makes him a sinner. - Christian or NOT.  Please, do show me where in the Bible it explicitly says a Christian cannot be a sinner.

The Bible is clear on what is says about sin - Christ came to die and deliver us from sin - though accepting his as your Lord and Saviour, renouncing sin and repentance. Subsequently, if you have accepted Christ as your Lord, but your life CANNOT be still based on sin. If it is, the price he paid cannot be applied to you- Christian or NOT.


Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord

Romans 6:1-3
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

Romans 6:2
Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

Romans 6:5
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

^^^Guy, your rantings are that of a babe in Christ (that is if u are born-again) and you are yet to know who you are in Christ!!!!! Grow Up!!!

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God ahn? Why did Jesus Christ come? Have you read Romans chapter 3 from verse 1 to that point where he said ". . . for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" before you ran with this verse wholesale?

It is because all have sinned (sinners) that Christ was manifested to destroy the nature of sin and give they that accept Him the nature of righteousness!!!

Stop reading the bible on the face value; Pray God that the scales may fall of your eyes that you may know who you are in Christ Jesus!!!

^^^So from the time you woke up this morning to the point you wrote the above you want us to believe that you have not sinned uhn?
And if you sinned you belong to the devil and are a candidate for hell undecided undecided

There is a difference between "committing a sin" and "continuing in sin" for the recreated human spirit!!
The former does not make you the devil's own, the latter is what makes you to be of the devil!!!!
Re: A Born Again Christian Is Not A Sinner (even If He Sins) by dannyod(m): 2:37pm On May 06, 2010
the fact still remains that if you understand the bible very well, then no one can deceive you. the bible says my ppl perish for the lack of knowledge. for they have rejected knowledge, therefore i have rejected them.

This is laughable. So because you "accept" Christ, you are no longer a "sinner" even though you are still committing sin?
And im the one reading the Bible at face value? With scales on my eyes? LOL!

^^^ And your position on this subject matter is graviously laughable,,, you are still a toddler, boy,,,, Grow up!!! that's the word!!!!

If you are a sinner, bros, I am NOT!!! Because i have been justified and made righteous with God thru Christ Jesus!!!!!,,, and the extent of your knowledge of the WORD is what determines your VICTORY and your DESTRUCTION!!!

And since you have commited one or more sins today, you are a sinner, and a bonafide candidate for hell abi Case closed!!! That is the limit of your knowledge and that is what will destroy u!!!

Hello Gunnaz:

We meet again and I ask the following question from YOU only because I saw in you, a lot of realism the other time. This is my question - [1a] If you, Gunnaz, kill chris oyakilome, is that a sin or not? Or if you commit a crime, [1b] say, you steal - is that a sin or not?

I get something from your posts here - you seperate between the act and the nature but QUESTION [2] what makes the nature if not the act(s)? Please answer my two questions and have a lovely evening smiley

My good friend nuclearboy, enjoy my holy kiss kiss

Your first question can be answered thus,

First and foremost, I am a new creation that has been declared righteous with God in Christ Jesus (take note of this); Now, if i kill Pastor Chris (God forbid) as u asked, that is a sin!!!! YES!! But i know that i have an Advocate through Whom I can ask for forgiveness with God the Father (1John2:1); and if i ask for forgiveness; am i gonna b forgiven? YES i am (but remember that in the sight of man, this sin wud remain an everlasting stigma on me, man may not even cease to call me a murderer)!!! But am i a sinner? No i am not!!! That is the difference between me and the man that is yet to receive the gift of righteousness (the sinner)!!!

But i wud like to point this out clearly, John in his epistles pointed out cleaarly that if we say we are without sin, we make God out to b a liar (1John1:10), so, God Himself knows that sin is still lurking around the corner to tempt His children and He thus made that provision as contained in 1John2:1!!! But shud we continue in sin because of that provision? NO!!! We outh to grow thru the Word of God to have dominion over the lure of sin!!!

So, I know that in reality, it doesnt seem logical to say one stole (even if he is born-again); and stealing is known to be a sin; and one ends up saying that person that stole is not a sinner! But that is the message; that is what i have learnt in the Word to be the truth about us!!! The word of God was not meant to b logical for the natural man.

On your second question, what makes the nature if not the act. . ., it sounds like you are expecting an empirical formular for an answer to this q. . . But if you read my previous posts carefully especially the one i ellaborated on John's epistles, you wud deduct an answer for the above q.

But let's look at this:

1. If i have been watching my mechanic repair the engine of my car over time, and i start repairing my car engine on my own when it fails, does that make me a mechanic?

2. If some local women aid another woman to go through the process of childbirth, does that make them nurses/matrons?

The act of repairing a car is the nature of a mechanic and the act of supervising child birth is the nature of a nurse; and therefore anyother person that does this two things cannot be called by the professional names of "mechanic" and "nurse". U get the drift?

Now, as i asked brother enigma in a previous thread, can u please shed light on 1John1:7

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ purifies us of all sin

You know that we are not arguing the Word, we are supposed to be edifying ourselves with the Word!!

Thank you wink wink wink

Reasonable and erudite as always (only I will not accept another man's kiss, holy or not cheesy)

I think every Christian agrees with what you have postulated above. However, and this is sincere, many people who claim what you have said above actually revel in sin and have decided that they can do as they will. Its so easy to say but misuse is why people disagree with that stand.

Many people will tell you christians pretend and are totally deluded because most times, we just say it whist doing exactly what we feel like.

Maybe you ought put a caveat in your posts to signify that it is only when there is no revelling that your statement stands. grin

Now, I offer you a holy handshake. grin
Re: A Born Again Christian Is Not A Sinner (even If He Sins) by Gunnaz007: 9:07pm On May 06, 2010
hahahahaha grin grin grin grin grin

CAVEAT: PLEASE MY PREVIOUS POSTS ON THIS SUBJECT-MATTER IS NOT A LICENSE TO SIN!!!

If you saw in my first post on this thread, I clearly pointed out that "I AM ADDRESSING BELIEVERS ONLY" although i know this is an open forum where all wud view the subject.

brother nuclearboy, i realy understand how this subject sounds to some of us but these are truths in the scriptures.

This is not the first gospel that an unbeliever shud hear;
As is contained in the epistles of John, John was addressing the church and not some group of unbelievers.

I am walking out my own salvation; you, my friend, you are walking out your own salvation, and every believer (including the brethren, bishops, pastors, apostles, etc) outh to know that being born-again is not the end; we have been instructed to "walk out our own salvation" and we know the requirements to do just that as it's contained in the Word!

Remember, Apostle Paul sometimes encouraged the brethren to greet with a holy kiss; so, you my friend, shud not be scared cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy
My kiss is holy indeed kiss kiss kiss

Shalom wink wink wink
Re: A Born Again Christian Is Not A Sinner (even If He Sins) by nuclearboy(m): 9:21pm On May 06, 2010
Your caveat makes a world of difference. I'm also particularly glad you realise this forum, this thread and indeed all our posts are viewed by both believers and non-believers. Whist Paul accepted that all things are lawful, he point-blank made it obvious we should not be a stumbling block to others - the "unbel" who sees a claim that even if you sin, you're not a sinner is definitely not edified and will likely [1] have nothing to do with what he'll call "your delusions" i.e. christianity or [2] come join in the firm belief that he has license to do as he wishes.

Either way, its the name of Christ at ridicule since its about Him. Such boasts and claims, are they worth the insult to Christ especially seeing as "true" Christians catch your drift and agree. So ITS THE UNBELIEVER THATS AFFECTED BY YOUR STATEMENT. Please consider this - I knbow I have an advocate who seperates my new nature from my action. It is NOT me that will misunderstand your words.

Peace bro. smiley
Re: A Born Again Christian Is Not A Sinner (even If He Sins) by Zodiac61(m): 9:28pm On May 06, 2010
Amusing seeing all these christians happily deluding themselves about the ability to sin without punishment because Pastor Chris says it is okay. And the man calls himself a pastor and a christian. One now sees how he can justify hanging on to stolen money donated to his Business Church and his fake healings.
Does it have to take a non-believer to remain your that somewhere in the bible it says "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god." Romans 3:23
What do the christians think this means?
Of course with exegesis, christians can make words mean whatever they want it to mean. However, if Chris thinks that he is not a sinner, according to his warped beliefs, well I guess christianity is a broad church; there is scope for all types of loons.  grin grin grin grin grin

Re: A Born Again Christian Is Not A Sinner (even If He Sins) by Romeo4real(m): 11:51pm On May 06, 2010
@nuclearboy - there is nothing in his post that actually verifies his earlier statement here - "So a christian can sin but he is not a sinner he is a Christian and nothing" Im afraid poor ol' Gunnerz is confused. I mean,lets look at what he says -

So, I know that in reality, it doesn't seem logical to say one stole (even if he is born-again); and stealing is known to be a sin; and one ends up saying that person that stole is not a sinner! But that is the message;
- So he knows its not logical, but "thats the message". So he is saying the Bible is not logical? Or its logical only for the "unnatural" man as opposed to the "natural" man?

If i have been watching my mechanic repair the engine of my car over time, and i start repairing my car engine on my own when it fails, does that make me a mechanic?
Em, the mechanic is not so called because he repairs car engines. He is so called because he has "experience" repairing many engines, other peoples engines, and not "his" car engines. In addition he may have training, and education, and a certificate certifying him to be a mechanic. Can you see the difference?

If some local women aid another woman to go through the process of childbirth, does that make them nurses/matrons?
No, because Nurses and Matrons, again, have training and qualifications that certifies them as so. What an illogical analogy!

The act of repairing a car is the nature of a mechanic and the act of supervising child birth is the nature of a nurse; and therefore any other person that does this two things cannot be called by the professional names of "mechanic" and "nurse". U get the drift?
- So by this statement, anyone who engages in the "act" of repairing a car is a mechanic. Can you see how you are contradicting yourself?

What makes a mechanic or nurse is not the "act" - it is the experience , training, and probable certification.

You have already argued yourself into a corner. Sinning is not a vocation, trade or skill, whereby you can compare it to being a nurse or mechanic. There are no specialist skills involved, no training needed, and no certification to be gained. Another illogical post. No wonder people think all Christians are stupid and confused!

Re: A Born Again Christian Is Not A Sinner (even If He Sins) by nuclearboy(m): 7:58am On May 07, 2010
^^^ LOL

Atimes I get the impression we spend more time arguing with ourselves rather than passing the Gospel's message across as is duty. I more than most am guilty of this and so I understand you, Romeo4real. But Gunnaz is of a different order than such as pastor Agbaje. His post clearly states he agrees there is an issue there so there's no point pushing against him. Now if it were Agbaje, you'd have heard that there is some funny explanation and all of us have not even grown teeth at all ( see mine  grin) and until pastor chris agrees, the Bible doesn't know what it is saying. Gunnaz used words that ONLY Christians would understand and IMO, that was the only problem since not only christians read NairaLand posts.

Gunnaz:

Please look at what Zodiac61 wrote following my post. You will notice he used the exact word (delusion) I used and ridicules Christianity as been full of "loons". THAT IS THE EFFECT writings such as "Christians are not sinners even when they sin" has on people outside. We need to be careful what we say as its so easy to misunderstand.

Cheers Bro. BTW, seems God is turned around and now ready to bless Naija with the recents events O. It shall be well with us.  smiley

hi nuclearboy and romeo4real wink my friends, a very good morning to you!

@nuclearboy, i grab what u said up there and reading thru a bible passage (James 3:1 that reads ---- Not many of you shud presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly) that one of the users on this forum wrote, i became very sober.

Like i have said earlier, we shud edify eachother with the Word, not argue the Word!

Humble yourself to admit it where you are wrong. There is no issue about this. Must you vomit guile in your posts? Leave joagbaje out, leave Chris oyakhilome out. open your bible and discuss topics , not names and personalities. But if youre so interested about CEC, Its not a bad idea to take a walk to the closest branch, attend the foundation school ,and you will have sound understanding of doctrine of salvation.

Righteousness is the nature of the Christian , Sin is the nature of the unsaved. No matter how much you clothe a monkey to look like man, he is still monkey in nature. No matter how good a natural man behaves, he is still a sinner. No matter the offence of a Christian , It has not changed his nature from righteousness. He didnt earn it by works or good deed. He cant lose it by works or bad deed, A man can not be born again two times, It is babies that struggles with sin. Sin has no dominion over us.

If a baby crawls on four , or poohs on himself , he is still a human being, one day he will grow out of it.
Paul never calls a Christian sinner, even when they stole!

Ephes. 4:28
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.


I am not aware Paul called a christian SINNER. Only JAMES will use such language.

LOL at B O Y ^^^ Did you ever read that we ought have the heart of children. This guy is proud to be without guile as you accuse!

As you say above, James of course, was a sinner and not worthy to have joined in writing the Bible, no?  grin And of course, Christianity is about Paul not the Lord Jesus  grin I'm sure Balaam's donkey would have happily asked for permission to give you a flying drop-kick! And gotten it too grin

Concerning monkeys, well, thank you for letting us know why you are not a Christian : dress up a sinner in Christian clothes and hand him a Bible and he will remain a sinner AKA you. And thats why reprobacy is in your pysche: A sinner cannot be righteous!  grin

The funniest portion of your post suggests that I should go and "submit" myself to your foundation school - is that where Lawrence Agaba, the other UBA manager, and the thieves who just stole 60 Million from your church "bank" attended and learnt their theft-trade?  grin Is that where people are taught to pretend that they are sick and diseased and then "rise" out of it when chris ministers speaks fake phonetics over them?  grin Is that where people are told to "kabash"endlessly and that anything that comes out of their mouths is "speaking in tongues"? Did you read the post/thread where a female member of this forum said she started out saying "oooooo I am very very hungry hungry eba potato rice and beans hungry hunger want to go home and eat eba with egusi soup" etc. Is that where she learnt that?  shocked Is that where we will be taught that tithes are the only way to salvation AS LONG AS they are paid to you and your ilk?  grin Is that where we men will be taught to jerry-curl our hair , wear perfume and groom our nails when the Holy Bible exhorts even WOMEN to not be vain but to wear modestygrin

Thanks for the offer, Joagbaje. But I stopped underestimating satan long ago and prefer not to eat with him/you. And you must be the 8th wonder of the world if you believe "righteousness" shows as your nature. What shows, sincerely, is avarice, greed , a marked departure from moral and intellectual sanity and a rabid desperation to remain applicable.

Lies have short legs, Joagbaje, and truth has now caught up with you. I hope you saved some cash when the going was good and the gullible numerous. God's Word has caught up with you and it is "retribution" time  kiss

Actually, I felt a bit hesitant telling him as it is but decided its better to as we say, tell the truth and let satan Joagbaje be ashamed.

All this baby and no-teeth and milk-teeth and rubbish he goes about saying tends to grow on one after awhile. Thats why I invoked the memory of Balaam's donkey who would have thanked God it wasn't a man comparing itself to the guy.

I am not a christian and will never aspire to be one, but i will say this to this issue. Christians make alot of blind and ignorant arguments cos they have decided to remain religious in their dealings instead of spiritual.

, the common answer to the issue is that whatever a righteous man does does not make him unrighteous just as an unrighteous man who does good things does not become righteous, righteousness or sin is not an act, they do not depend on what u do or not do, God is God not because of what he does or not do but because of who he is, God, so also is every one.

point of correction though to every one, NO BODY IS REALLY A SINNER, ONLY THE MAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT HE IS NOT A SINNER

NO BODY BECAME A SINNER BY CHOICE OR OF WORK, WE WERE BORN INTO IT SO ALSO NO BODY BECAME RIGHTEOUS BY CHOICE OR WORK, WE ARE ALSO BORN INTO IT, 'FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE SO ALSO IN CHRIST ALLLLLLLLL IS MADE ALIVE.

WE WERE SINNERS BECAUSE WE HAD THE NATURE, CONSCIOUSNESS, MENTALITY OF SIN, NOW WE (ALL OF US) ARE RIGHTEOUS BECAUSE WE ARE THE NATURE- CHRIST, GOD, SPIRIT, WHATEVER YOU CALL IT,

^^^ Spiritsize (lovely name for one who doesn't want anything to do with Christianity):

You're not a Christian and will NEVER aspire to be one but you registered today, read this thread through and decided to come support Joagbaje. You say we have decided to remain religious instead of spiritual But that is standard CEC gist - Religiousity! grin How then does a non-christian who doesn't even want to be one know so much of CE's doctrine including the lingo quoting them almost perfectly?

Then you say

spiritsize:

You were sinners, ehn? And now you're what since not a Christian or hoping to be one?
grin

God willing, you'll win this years award for the most stupid poster on NL grin

Shey you guys have started again registering multiple IDs and supporting yourselves cheesy Just that the one who typed the above has to be so stupid that maggots won't eat his rotting carcass for fear of idiocy "contamination" grin I guess we (being brainless like you, you thought) were supposed to be amazed that "a non-aspiring to be Christian" unbel, even saw sense in your delusions unlike us baby-teeth grin Lying, Sinful Morally bankrupt pretenders to Christianity.

Whatever the righteous do doesn't make him unrighteous indeed! Yet you work out your salvation - isn't that because you can lose it?

Gunnaz:

Please look at what Zodiac61 wrote following my post. You will notice he used the exact word (delusion) I used and ridicules Christianity as been full of "loons". THAT IS THE EFFECT writings such as "Christians are not sinners even when they sin" has on people outside. We need to be careful what we say as its so easy to misunderstand.
@nuclearboy,
Do not misquote me. I would never say that christianity is full of loons. What I said is that there is scope for loons in christianity. My wife is a christian and is definitely not a loon. I have read a lot of posts on NL from christians (you included) and while I disagree with a lot of what they say, I consider them to be sane human beings who are passionate about their beliefs.
However, there are a few who definitely belong to the loony camp. Anyone who says that a christian who commits a sin is not a sinner because he is a christian is a fully signed up member of the loony commuinty.

^^^ My sincere apologies. I agree that is what you were saying and my choice of words was wrong in passing my message across to Gunnaz.

And I agree with you that a number of loony "bats" walk in the midst of Christians. What I do not agree with is that they are Christians. IMHO, these are "deluded" "loons" (pun intended). BTW, I've seen quite a few on NL

Again, my apologies embarassed

What is clear from this thread, is the confusion inherent in the Body Of Christ - The Church.
Where we have Christians preferring Paul to James and vice versa. Where "Christians" say they are not sinners, even when they sin. Where a Christian can NEVER be unrighteous, no matter his offence.
Where non Christians say an unrighteous man cannot become righteous - no matter what he does.

It is all so amazing, despite the fact the Bible makes crystal clear the relationship between God, Sin The Law, Grace and Forgiveness. Christians are truly their own worst enemies.
