Why would I continue to sin if I'm a believer?

[Hepzibah]

Not sure what you mean by "yours is a half perfect salvation". Could you explain how you come to this conclusion?

A sin is a sin.

And salvation is salvation.

There's no such thing as a half perfect salvation my friend. You're either saved through salvation through faith or you're not.

Sorry to hear about your year. Remember to tell your mountains how big your God is. Instead of telling God how big the mountain is like most people do!

Anyway yeah. Right?

Hi there

You say you are saved from sin yet only believe that it is the guilt you are saved from. That is only half of it. Romans 6 says it shall have no dominion over us but it still does if we continue to sin. My friend if you are content with your standing and do not get twinges of condemnation then continue as you are. It is not me whom you must answer to at the end.

No I never said that. Where did you come up with that from?

You're preaching to the choir sister.

and
I also wonder what possible role or purpose does the flesh serve during the process of sanctification

Hi boss could you expand on what you mean? Are you asking for yourself too or it says that somewhere? I'm trying to get my head around it!

Thanks for posting Romans 7. It offers some comfort and hope. Yay though I am a sinner, yay though I believe. Yet I still sin. Because of the sin that is within me. Yet though because I believe. I will be set free from sinning again. And from the law of sin which is death. Because of the faith of Christ that is within me. I guess that will be after my death and or the rapture. Whichever comes first. I just feel so weak and out of control sometimes. And it wrecks me man. Oh retched man that I am! Woe is me! I smite my chest like the Roman centurian did and dare not even look up into heaven and say Lord God forgive me a sinner!

How much happier I would be if I could be set free now and know that I truly am and will never again commit the same sin. Like a dog that returns to it's own vomit! Because it just doesn't make any sense when I do when it's contrary to everything I truly believe. Ah we see through a misty window right? One that only God can wipe clean to make it all clear for us.

Yay that I sin. Yet I still believe. Just need time now. Time to heal. Time to confess and repent to seek conviction from the spirit and find forgiveness and refreshing. Because my mind heart and soul just goes bat crazy when I walk off the path and set myself in a way that is in unright with God! You know?

My deep apologies. I was not concentrating properly due to recovering from flu'.

As you can see, I do not agree with the answers you have been given here. Miserable counsellors all of them spreading the lies of the church - that we will continue in sin.

You have been greatly blessed with conviction from the Holy Spirit. You could read some of the past writers from times of revival as in the Holiness Movement to see how far we have fallen in modern times. God bless you.
