Christians Can’t Sin
I hear Christians tell me all the time that they are the true Christians and that other people who claim to be Christians but don’t agree with them one hundred percent are not true Christians. It’s the old “No True Scotsman” argument. Well, I searched the Bible and found that there is one very clear way to tell who is a Christian. Real Christians can’t sin!
Before I get into that I also want to point out that all the Christians who go around telling people that everyone is a sinner are not real Christians according to the Bible. I hear that line all the time and from a business model it really is a great line for Christians to use.
By acknowledging that everyone is a sinner Christianity creates a problem and then comes along and offers the only solution to the problem it just created. Unfortunately, the Bible wasn’t written with that kind of business model in mind. Modern Christianity has conflated a coherent narrative out of various different beliefs.
“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.” – 1 John 3:9-10
To quote Miss Beverly Hills, Lauren Ashley, “The Bible is pretty black and white.”
