eph12:it sure do.......a distinctive differences between a believer and an unbeliever is the ability to consciously withdraw from sin and feel sorry if found guilty(believers) and the inability to(unbelievers) respectively. So Grace just comes in here.......Salvation attracts more of this Grace which enables this distinction |

ZubbyGodson:Since we are expected to commit sin every now and then and feel guilt we don't need the grace na. It's just your conscience you need. |

Is masturbation a sin even when it's your wife you fantasise about. Assuming she's traveled and you feel the urge for sex. What do you think |

Because they can always morally reset their conscience by confessing to their imaginary friend and all is well again.. My take |
Re: Why Do "Born Again" Christians Still Commit Sin? by Nobody: 8:36am On Sep 04, 2016 |
eph12: We are not expected to commit Sin Oo Ha! As a born again you are expected to do away with Sin at all cost but if per adventure you fall because of flesh it does not make you less a born again you are just a born again guilty of sin. And God punishes His children for every wrong deeds and yet He forgives them when they ask for forgiveness. We are not expected to Sin. |

I think there should be an option on Nairaland where you can block some ppl from a thread. Some people are not supposed to be on threads like this. |

Ecclesiastes 7:20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins. Anyone that tells you otherwise is just in denial. The Bible does not lie. Sins are committed in 3 main forms: thoughts, words and deeds. Furthermore, it's connected to several other things in our lives. Nevertheless, the objective is not to give in and continue wallowing in sin whenever we fall but to pray for God's grace to be able to pick ourselves up and continue the spiritual race. Pray... Even if you feel so weak, and it's only a whisper you have left, just pray. Support the prayer with your belief that the word òf God will never return void. In order to overcome, we need to know the enemy: Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. One of the most fundamental and yet mostly ignored is the spirit of distraction. The objective of that spirit is to weaken your mind in readiness to entertain thoughts and deeds that are not pleasing to God. Few examples we should be able to relate to: ●The tiredness you feel when you want to pray in the morning vs the energy you have to reach for you phone and socialize ●That sleep that comes when the sermon is on in church but quickly evaporates after the sermon. ●The hundreds of distracting thoughts and brilliant ideas that bombard you when in prayer but readily vanish after prayers. ●Bothered about the clothes and shoes people wore to church. These things distract us from benefitting from the power and blessings we are suppose to receive from our connection with God. Remember that we speak with God through prayers and there are forces all around us aimed at killing our urge to pray. Let's not remember to pray only when we're in trouble or have a need. Deposit your prayers in the prayer bank now. It costs just a few minutes on your knees alone in your room or enclosure. Several unknown people out there on the other side of this world needs your prayers. We are one big family. Shalom May our prayers, sacrifices and love bring us closer to God in Jesus name. 1 Like |

Goshen360:you are right my brother.. God him self is not ignorance of our weakness as humans.that's one reason why Christ came in the flesh to experience how it feels to be in the flesh.he cried when the time drew near for him to be offered, he said the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak..been in the flesh he had to pray for strength from above..even with his exceptional divine nature he still feel it harsh..so as humans its not ezy for we to not sin..but its by his grace and the mercies of God that we can obtain salvation.. |
Re: Why Do "Born Again" Christians Still Commit Sin? by Nobody: 10:24am On Sep 04, 2016 |
The main thing you guys ought to know is that humans are not impeccable so we sin often.your top most concern should be not to remain in sin whenever you fall.That is why we have avenue that we can make reparation to God.if devil can tempt jesus then how much more we mere mortals.despite your born again status,you can still fall prey to sin but once you fall,rise,pacify God and continue the race. |
Re: Why Do "Born Again" Christians Still Commit Sin? by OYAY(m): 10:57am On Sep 04, 2016 |
Hell No! To ur hypothesis of no substantial proof in d scripture. Jesus lives in this flesh and was sinless!!! Its better not to talk than to say something that will accuse u on the Last day. The consummation of Jesus christ is not the same as ours hence I agree with the old nature thing which made our salvation to be by grace. Shallom |

IT IS IN THE BIBLE GO AND MAKE UR RESEARCH VERY WELL...ONCE U AR DEPPEN INTO THE WATERS, YOU ARE DEAD TO SIN AND ALIVE IN CHRIST...I.E, EVERYTHING ABOUT U BCOMS NEW JUST LIKE THE WAY U WERE BORN FROM UR MOTHERS WOMB. THE WORD born again christins simply mins born again christlike because we are many...UNBELIEVERS ALSO DU BAPTISM AND DEY ALSO USE THE WORD BORN AGAIN...SO WE USE THE WORD CHRISTIAN/CHRISTLIKE. TO MAKE DE DEFNCE...ALTHOUGH, IT IS DERIVATIVE...(SO I have adressed this issue over and over again. There is nothing like born again Christains!!! |

I see Christianity as a journey, a long journey to our heavenly father in which we learn more as we progress through it. A Christian may not fully understand the gospel of Christ at the beginning of their Christian life, thus may commit sin due to ignorance. As they progress through the journey and in further realization of more truths, they realise that they had committed sins sometimes ago, and ask for God's forgiveness and case settled. And as a matter of fact, that someone is a christian doesn't make them lose their human nature. They face temptation of different kinds, and even persecutions. That brings about battle between the spirit and the flesh. Sometimes the spirit wins and sometimes the flesh overcome. Our duty as Christians is to try as much as possible not to let the flesh overcome, but if it does we soonest repent of our sins and restore and even strengthen more the good relationship with our heavenly Father. So Christians committing sins is not a kind of mystery like the title of the thread portrays it. It is explainable and understandable. |
Re: Why Do "Born Again" Christians Still Commit Sin? by Bakass(m): 11:33am On Sep 04, 2016 |
IF WE SAY WE HAVE NOT OR WE AV NO SIN, WE DECIEVE OUR SELF AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US....WE AR FLESH AND BLOOD NOT IMMOTAL LIKE GOD DAT HS NO SIN...SO SIN IS EMINENT DAT IS Y GOD IS DER AND EVER JUST TO FORGIV US OUR SINS ANYTYM WE SIN AND ASK FOR FORGIVNES...WE CANNOT BELIKE GOD. |

Born again christians still commit sins because nobody is holy,perfect and righteous.Without the grace of God no one can make heaven no matter how hard one works. |
Re: Why Do "Born Again" Christians Still Commit Sin? by anataala: 1:42pm On Sep 04, 2016 |

Re: Why Do "Born Again" Christians Still Commit Sin? by chefremy(m): 1:56pm On Sep 04, 2016 |
Ezechinwa:the word perfect for christians is that they should try as much as possible to abstain from sin,the perfect you are talking about is not what the bible is saying.look at david didnt he commit a sin,but God forgive him. |

sin shall not have dominion over us and with the help of the spirit of God and determination we can overcome sin |
Re: Why Do "Born Again" Christians Still Commit Sin? by Nobody: 4:34pm On Sep 04, 2016 |
chefremy: It is more of grace to make heaven, because no one knows God's marking scheme or can read his mind, mind you, some parts of the bible were truncated. If God should require 75% as the pass mark to make heaven, then am sorry to say, Hell fire will be overcrowded. let's just try and reconnect with our God at all times for instance, the thief at the right hand of Christ who asked for forgiveness at the last moment went to heaven despite all the crimes he committed, but some loyal or faithful followers might die in the act of sin, That's why we shouldn't put our money on modern day pastors, or even judge. |
