The article repeated the refrain, "Jesus died in your place"; seems the message of the cross is foreign, sadly.

Jesus' blood washes away all of our sins when we exhibit godly sorrow. Once we are made righteous and holy, Jesus enables us to go and sin no more.

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. (Job 1:22)

That test was asked in a Christianity forum, most of us are Christians..We pray often and ask forgiveness of our sins, because we feel convicted by the HS that we are guilty and in need of repentance and forgiveness..

We know , because of Calvary that we are forgiven and will be again if we stray and sin, which we inevitably will, but because of his grace and mercy we are forgiven.
I am not saying or advocating that we should do as we please because He will forgive us anyway.. I am saying that we should ever be striving NOT to sin, but we are not perfect beings and are constantly being tempted and tried by the world we live in...and there is no way any of us can claim not to ever commit sin..Christ lived with us , among us as fully human and knows our struggles

So at the risk of being chastised and thumped a little , I say that I am a good person, because I try to be Christlike and am sorry and repentant when I do sin and try very hard not to.

Blessings and hugs all around

People sin because they are walking in the flesh, and not in the Spirit; that has got to stop. I exhort you brethren for the Lord's sake.

Romans 8
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

.... to op's (impertinent) question:

after wasting another lifetime on trying, and summing up recent experiences, NO!

I did not take the test however, I believe only God is good. As humans, we can only try our best to be Christlike as we are called to be. We are all born with evil tendencies because we are flesh. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. But I thank God for the Blood of Jesus that cleanses all unrighteousness. We have all lied, some stolen, and others done the wrong thing knowing fully well that it was wrong.That being said, I always try my best to do good things and what I think Gpd will want me to do but as we all know, none is perfect except for God.................................
