No need to avoid sinning, all is forgiven?
#1
No need to avoid sinning, all is forgiven?
In an earlier thread of mine I wanted to figure out the route that would produce the highest probability of getting into heaven. In a response, christian member Drich wrote "avoiding sin is not the Goal of a biblically based Christianity, for all sin has been attoned for, and the believer can stand before God as if he were sinless." What do christians think of this statement? My understanding of christian teaching is that, while everyone is a sinner, a christian must try to avoid sinning? If there is no need to avoid sinning, as we are already forgiven or will be forgiven, then that would imply that a christian can lead a very immoral, sinful life, and it will not jeopardize their immortal soul.
I'm back, all grovel and tremble before mighty Zeus... I accept donations.
