True, this is a very basic issue, but apparently even the basics are rejected by some.

That does not work for me.
No, I don't do that. Like all Christians should, I strive to live righteously, through the power of God's spirit. When I don't, I ask for forgiveness and move on.

Romans 6

6 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be!

What do you do when you miss the mark?

Dear Finn,

The question is why you cannot go one hour without sinning. Awww.

I am concerned for you. You cannot go one hour without sinning? That must be a big problem for you. I am sorry you cannot avoid sin even for one hour.

I am appreciating my relationship with God more, and more with your every post. I did not realize how difficult it is not to sin for you.

Love,
Ronk

You still need saving because you keep sinning, over and over. Sinning is a terrible thing. You keep damaging yourself over, and over ,and over again. I understand it is in your flesh or something.

You do not offend me Finn. Is that your intention? You are not capable of offending me.

Love,
Ronk
What do you think about Jesus?

Poor, Finn.

Can't have his cake and eat it too and tell everyone else what kind of cake they should have and how to eat it.

It's a bleak life being a sinful and unjustly persecuted fundamentalist Christian.

Apparently.

What mark should I be missing? And, yes. You do just that.

Could you at least ask what Ronk's secret to a life without sin is, rather than "you're a sinner the bible says you are and I know you can't live a life with out sin because I try it every day and fail every day" if you ask nicely she might even quote the bible you "think' you believe" in to prove that you can. She might bake you a cake too with "I don't sin Anymore" on it if you ask that nicely too.
What is your secret to a sinless life?

Really? You don't know? You have to ask?

The secret to a sinless life is to refrain from sinning.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength(except what the fundamentalist says I can't do).

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—THINK about such things.
Yeah, I do that too. Unconditional forgiveness, because I still miss the mark sometimes.
