My belief in the Lord is unquestionable.....what I question is my being! We are all sinners who can repent.....be "pardoned' by the Lord Almighty. The Bible tells us we are forgiven.....does that ever end? Knowing that we are sinners who can be forgiven.....is that a license to sin.....despair....hatred of that which we cannot truly realize.....but an abstract? I live each day trying to be a good Christian.....a good human being.....with all those flaws! Lord hear my prayer!

Following Jesus and studying God's Holy Word will keep us on the strait and narrow path until our mortality ends and going Home with Him begins! If we should sin, we have an advocate (Jesus) with our Father when we truly repent by quickly asking forgiveness in the name of Jesus Who forgives and never holds the repentant sin against us any more, but when a true believer in Him we don't have a license to keep willfully sinning! Jesus loves us and is with us as long as we stay with and trust in Him! Amen! Ma

As I understand it SIN is the Willful disobedience of God Will. Not a mistake that we make and are sorry that we made.

Continuing to Willfully Disobeying God is a hazardous road to be traveling. It could very well indicate that one has not surrendered ones will to God.

Many believe that that believing in Him or being saved is a ticket to live as one want's too. When one is truly saved they are changed by the spirit and from that time will strive to live a life more pleasing to God. This includes putting our past sinful ways behind us. Indeed this does not happen overnight. To repent is to seek forgiveness and not do that sin anymore. Jesus said "Go and sin no more"
