24 hour sinless day

[npetreley]

If so, you must be typing your post from Heaven, because you will not be perfect this side of death... which answers a question I have.. "Are there internet connections in Heaven?"

If so, I think it's a safe bet there's a Parental block for most of the content.

lol!!!!

Only a direct connection to BB! Since we all know God is a Baptist.

Define it one way and God's grace is sufficient.

Define it another way and God's grace is not sufficient.

You pays yo money and takes yo choice.

 

[Mexdeaf]

Sin is anything that falls short of the glory of God: any action, thought, or feeling. Anything that disobeys God's Law or commands any time anywhere is sin. Imperfection is sin.

We are not sinless, but we certainly can sin less.

The fact that we cannot avoid sin does not mean that we have an excuse to sin, or that we should anticipate sin, but I think we often have a limited view of what sin really is.

Amen to everything you said, especially the above points.

 

[Martin]

If it were not possible to go a day without sin, God's Word would not tells us not to sin. He will not tell us to do the impossible.

==That is illogical. If we were to follow that logic it would mean that we could live totally sinless lives on this side of eternity. The Scriptures simply don't teach that such things are possible. Believers sin, it is part of the struggle.

The trick is to be submitted to God. If you are submitted to God, you have the strength to resist the devil and any temptations he may put in your path.

==Yes, but you are going to tell us that you are perfectly submitted to God every minute of a 24hr period? You do everything right and nothing wrong? You don't overlook anything? You don't fail to do anything you should? You don't talk about someone (you know, sharing information)?You don't get in your car and do 60 in a 55? Don't tell me you go 24hrs without sinning. You may go 24hrs without major sin, I hope we all do, but you don't go 24hrs without sinning in some way. If you think you do your definition of sin is way too narrow.

Sometimes people express my thoughts in better words than I do.

What about left of center...
(or for our UK friends, right of center :laugh: )

How much sin do we do that we don't even know about?
Driving with a burnt out registration light... (that got me a ticket a few yrs ago, and I didn't even know it was burnt out)

I am not saying that I have ever gone 24 hours w/o sinning - but, instead of thinking can you go 24 hours - can you go one min - how about 2, 5? If it is possible to go for a short time how about a longer time? Is this in opposition to the word or are we being obedient to the word by avoiding sin? Can one avoid the situations that lead them to sin - isnt that what Paul tells us to do, isnt that what Jesus told the woman at the well to do?

I think this is different than asking a non christian to "work" thier way to salvation. This is a question of obedience to God's word.

 

[His Blood Spoke My Name]

Actually, Jesus did not tell the woman at the well to 'Go, and sin no more.'

He did, however, tell the woman caught in adultery to 'Go, and sin no more.'

Jesus also told the man who had had an infirmity for 38 years to 'sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon thee.'

Why would Jesus tell someone to do something that was impossible to do? The answer, He wouldn't.

It is only possible to 'sin no more,' when one turns to Christ when one is tempted.

1 Corinthians 10:13 declares that one does not have to give in to temptation, there is a way of escape. That way of escape is to turn to and to trust in Christ to give one strength to overcome that temptation.

Greater is He that is within you, than he that is in the world.

 

[jch-singer]

Because of Adam sinning in the garden all men/women was born with sin, if Jesus would not have been born of a virgin he would have been with sin and could not have been our perfect sacrifice. My point being even if you do live without doing anything wrong you still would have been sinner. So that makes the answer to this question, it is impossible to go even 24 seconds without sinning, so just go ahead and forget 24 hours.:type:

 

[His Blood Spoke My Name]

impossible to go even 24 seconds without sinning? You've got to be kidding!

==I have dealt with your "narrow sin" argument, yet you have failed to respond.

[PASTOR MHG]

1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

The problem as I see it is not whether I can go 24 hours without sinning, but rather can I go 24 hours always doing that which pleases the Father.

I like what Isaiah said...

Isa 6:5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

Just my thoughts,
Max

I can only assume that our definition of sin is different. (As has been pointed out already.)

I can go for 24 hours without breaking the 10 commandments , but I'm afraid I do not go 24 hours exhibiting all the fruits of the Spirit.

 

[npetreley]

I can go for 24 hours without breaking the 10 commandments

Can you really?

“You shall have no other gods before Me."

This commandment is pretty profound, since it covers things like idolatry. Can you go 24 hours without something or someone - anything or anyone - being more important to you than God, even momentarily? Do you spend all 24 hours loving the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength?

Don't underestimate them 10!

Yes, you are right. I am wrong and humbled yet once again. Actually, I'd hoped the winkie would indicate that I really didn't think I could. I've been quite clear that I don't think I can go anywhere near 24 hours without sinning. I am a sinner -- foremost amongst them I think I said earlier.

 

[Amy.G]

Another 24 hours down the tube! :laugh: :laugh:

 

[ktn4eg]

Don't know about the rest of you, but I tend to agree with Isaiah when he saw himself in comparision to our supremely holy Father in heaven:

"Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts." (Isaiah 6:5)

There have been times when I've tended to view myself and some other dear Christian friends (including my BB friends!) as "not so bad."

But then, when I look upon myself in view of the incomparably holy God in heaven I, like Isaiah, must say:

W O E I S M E!!!

Why would He want to save somebody like me?

Why would He want to love somebody like me?

Why would He want to care about somebody like me?

Why does He put up with somebody like me?

Why would He want to bless somebody like me?

I honestly don't know, but PRAISE GOD HE DOES!!!

What I tell ya? It can't be done!

I am not saying I am sinless... but I do sin less the more I yield myself over to the Lord.

God's Word tells us to Submit ourselves under the mighty hand of God, to Walk in the Spirit, to Yield not to temptation.

If it were not possible to obey these commands, God's Word would not have told us to do them.

Instead of making excuses why you sin, why not yield yourself over to God when temptations are there? He has the way of escape already offered to you.

And regardless of your accusations or disbelief, I have gone 24 hours without sinning as I was yielded to God.
