Do you still sin?
More important question - how does that make you feel?
Here's what Mark Cahill says about false converts and sin as a Christian. quoting
One of the real giveaways is if that sin bothers you when you commit it or can you just slough it off as no big deal. Let me tell you something, if you sin and it doesn’t bother you, you have big problems. Those sins are what put Jesus on the cross. How can I enjoy the things that sent my Savior to His death? I need to hate wickedness and evil all the days of my life just like Jesus did. We need to loath the abominations in our lives and in the world, then we need to do something about it.
2 Corinthians 7:9-11 says,
“Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
True repentance of your sins, a changing of mind that leads to a changing of actions, is what the Lord desires of His followers. It is time to make sure you fall into that category and that wickedness and evil cannot be named amongst you.

I know who saved my soul and I want this world to know, that I was once blind, once lost, Now I'm blood bought, reconciled to God by the blood He shed on the cross. -Eternal M.o.G.

Do you still sin?
Of course I do.
Do I feel bad everytime I do it? No.
Do I feel bad everytime I recognize that I have sinned? Most definately yes.
So I need to not only work on preventing my sin nature, but also recognizing my sin.
I would expect this is probably true of most Christians who have truly accepted Christ as their Savior.

Peace, that brief period in history when everyone stops to reload.

Re: Do you still sin?
We are made "new creatures", yet still have the same sin nature.
I sin and sometimes don't even realize it.
The women on The View were talking the other day about honestly trying to live a sinless life. (weird topic for that program, I know).
Elisabeth Hasselbeck said "Well, not killing anyone seems really easy, right?". Then she went on to say that her pastor had done a sermon on the subject.
He equated "Thou shalt not kill" to killing someone's spirit. Or getting satisfaction when someone's dream's are dashed or enjoying your enemy's discomfort.

i agree, as long as we are in this flesh we will, when i get mad in traffic, or bang my finger with a hammer  the Holy Spirit lets me know what i've done and i can calm down, go on about my buisness, etc etc

Re: Do you still sin?
I'm a sinner, saved by grace.
If I were to lay still as though I'm dead
If my mind were blank as though not there
Sin would still work... to entice my soul
====
How does it make me feel being a sinner? Disgusting... but the Holy Spirit tells me this is why I "need" God and his mercy. Without his grace I would be doomed. Without the cross I would be damned.
Any of y'all ever watch the Media (sp?) plays? Soooo funny!! There's a short fat guy that says, "I can't do that! I'm saved!!". Hehehe, I love that!
Christianity gets such a bad rap because of false Christians.
Wonder what would happen if a war was fought with "false" soldiers.

Your right Winkks, and it seems to be getting worse all the time. Sad!
