Questions for Moslims and Christians

Originally posted by Coletti

A Christian will sin after conversion, but there will also be a change in his life.

Could you list some other sins that true Christians don't commit, or is serial killing the only one?

Can a true Christian shoplift?
Can a true Christian commit adultery?
Can a true Christian beat his wife?
Can a true Christian take the Lord's name in vain?

I never said a Christian could not sin. But they should not continue sinning the same was after conversion. The key word is "serial." A truly converted sinner will try to get out of a life of chronic sin. If there is no change to the better - then they should question their conversion.

A life of a converted Christian is one of a process called "sanctification" - whereby a Christian over time will overcome sin. They will become more self-consciences of their sins, become better at avoiding sin, lean to be more loving to their neighbor, generous, patiences, etc. A Christian should see these improvements - not the same old sins repeated in a "serial" fashion.

So, I understand that you're a true Christian.

Can I infer that there are no sins that you commit habitually?

Can I infer that you're not a serial liar?
Can I infer that you're not a serial swearer?
Can I infer that you don't serially act on impure thoughts, for example by staring at attractive women?

This isn't about me personally. But I will say I do not make a habit out of sinning.

And although I have strung some swear words together, I don't think that makes me a serial swearer. I think I've seen some improvements - nothing I'd brag about.

How fortunate that your predestination has molded you to be so much like Jesus.
I wonder, do the Jews know about you? You might in fact be the true Messiah.

I appreciate your holding me with such high regard, but I don't think it's warranted.

That would not be true.

Every weak atheist is a counterexample, unless you are willing to state that God has refused to bless weak atheists with the gift of reason.

GOD has blessed every human being with sound reason.It is up to each one if they use it or not.

Yes a true Christian and commit these sins. But why would they want to?

Can a true Christian commit the sin of serial murder?
Is Coletti wrong?

That's not one sin. Not one event. How many murders does it take to make them serial murders?

70*7 + 1, I suppose, if I'm to assume that a person can't be both a Christian and a serial killer.

Everyone, Christian or not sins everyday.
That is why we need to deny ourselves and follow Christ daily.

And the verse of 1 John 1:9 is written to Christians.

Is Coletti wrong when he says that a person cannot be both a Christian and a serial killer?
