Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I don't identify as a sinner.
It's a bad doctrine.
I do trust the savior though.
Happy Sunday!
I do not disagree
Japan has largely rejected Christianity because sinner translates to criminal or convict in their language. they can not reconcile a good peaceful man being a criminal just for living
truth be told I do not either. Either Christ defeated sin in death or Christ died to give sin terms and conditions statements that allow sin only exist on a person by person basis.
I go with the former..He conquered death and broke the curse on us all

Guys are identifying as women to beat real women at sports. Just because they identify this way, doesn't make it so. This verse says that we all are sinners and have fallen short of the glory of God. It doesn't matter what you don't identify as.
Either that or you forgot the /s.
Read it closer.
:)
I quoted the ESV of it.
I'm all for saying what the scriptures say about us.
You said:
The verse says:
We're not sinners anymore.
I'm kind of a stickler for the doctrine I let live in my mind.
I'm sorry if it seems minor.
I am a servant of righteousness.
That is a cool affirmation.
