Everyone is born a sinner---even Job and Enoch. But once we have experienced God's great forgiveness and mercy, through faith in Jesus Christ, we are no longer considered sinners by God, but His righteous sons and daughters. Those who have experienced Jesus Christ no longer walk in sin, but have a whole new paradigm---they now have an aversion to sin.
We know you speak of being born with the taint of sin via adams blood passed down ..via our own earthly fathers nlood passed down.
Coffee knows thats what you mean also.
People split hairs so much and some do it so much they bring the solid word into a state of meaningless ambiguity insteas of accepting what it plainly states.its tiresome.
So we are born tainted with propensity toward sin .we are inclined toward it.
But i have come to realize that it is when we ."self".. When I ..first broke gods perfect law of life that i became a law breaker and could not go and unbreak what i had broken.
But praise God.. He sent Jesus..and through obedience to the gospel ,obeying the instructions he commands ..he caused his own rightousness..via the payment he made.the payment of a cused death..to be credited to my account.when i was buried in the waters of baptism into the death of christ and then born again up out of the waters and made a New Creature .raised up into his resurrection.a sinless creature clothed in the rightouss of God.made the rightousness of God in christ jesus.
I am not a sinner i am a new creation in christ as the word declares.
I was a sinner but now ww are new creatures .that sinner died in christ.
Shall i then go and do actions and practice that which i know to be sin?why would i do that?
Can i sin..of course..any one can rebel ,rebellion itself is sin
Knowing what is the right thing to do and not doing it..is sin.
If we do sin we have an advocate...if we confess our sin he is faithful and just to forgive our botch up.
But.. If we continue in doing that sin ther. Is no repetance and no longer any sacrifice for sin. Our continued practice of it displays. It is still master of us ..thus such a person is not yet saved from sin.they do not know God nor have seen him.
