I do go to church, I am a Catholic and I go when I can. my question is can you live a sinful life and still be saved? Like look at the stories in the bible where Christ himself said " NOW SIN NO MORE" do you think that applies to modern day man.
No it isn't, in fact it has nothing to do with salvation.MissedAgain said:That, dear sirs, is someone losing salvation.
DITTO THAT!! Well said. :thumbsup: You too thaner :wink:870 said:Hi blazer, to answer your question yes. What Jesus said to the woman who was caught in the act of adultery "now go and sin no more" applies to our live today. What Jesus was saying to her was don't commit adultery again. If she got caught again, He might not be there to bail her out again. Everything Jesus said 2000 years ago is relevant for today. If we are truly Christians and we know that what we're about to do is sinful, the Holy Spirit will let us know it's wrong and not to do it. At that point you're at a crossroad, do we choose our will or do we choose Gods will for our life. Paul said, " What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! Rom 6:1-2 Gods grace will cover our sins, but at the same time He doesn't want us to commit those sins.
It's true at the time of our sin, all we need to do is ask God to forgive us and He will forgive us At the same time we need to head the words of Jesus and "sin no more". When we truly love someone we do everything in our power not offend that person and our relationship with that person. The same thing applies here with our relationship with God; by willfully sinning we damage our relationship with Him. Now if we just do something stupid without thinking that's easy, we just ask for forgiveness and it's taken care of. As Christians we can't truly enjoy living a sinful life, that's impossible you can't do it. The Holy Spirit well dog you with conviction till you stop sinning. I hope this helps, later dude :thumbsup:

I'm pretty sure that isn't how it goes.HonkQuackBang said:God wont accept the last repentance of a scoundrel!
When you meet St Peter at the gate and if you are lucky to get that far he will find something to blame you and he will tell you to"" Get outta here with that & take it down below!
So how does it go? Have you died and come back "born again?"pork4life said:I'm pretty sure that isn't how it goes.HonkQuackBang said:God wont accept the last repentance of a scoundrel!
