Is a Chrisitan still a sinner? 基督徒仍是罪人嗎？

-

T.A. 

Let me say it this way. A Christian will sin from time to time. John says that if we say we have no sin then we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us (1John 1:8).

讓我這樣說吧。 基督徒會時不時犯罪。 約翰說，我們若說自己無罪，便是自欺，真理不在我們心裡了（約翰一書1：8）。

Now, also we need to understand 1 John 3:6. This " sinneth not" means a practice of sin; in other words living a sinful life . The King James version puts an "eth" at the end of verbs to show continuing action of the Greek verb. So it means a continual sinning. 

1 Jn 3:6 (KJV)  Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

現在，我們也需要理解約翰一書3:6，其中這種“犯罪”意味著犯罪的實行；換句話說，“過著罪惡的生活”。 英王钦定本在動詞的末尾放了一個“eth”，以顯示希臘語動詞的持續動作。 因此，這意味著持續的犯罪。

1Jn 3:6  凡住在他裡面的，就不犯罪；凡犯罪的，是未曾看見他，也未曾認識他。

So, a Christian will sin and when he sins he is a sinner. But he/she is God's child and as he/she walks in the light, Jesus' blood cleanses (1John 1: 7). So a Christian sins but he is not a sinner in the sense of one who lives in sin or like a non-Christian who is still completely in sin. Hope that helps and is not confusing.

因此，一個基督徒會犯罪，當他犯罪時，他就是一個罪人。 但他/她是神的孩子，當他/她在光明中行的時候，耶穌的血也洗淨我們一切的罪（約翰一書1：7）。 因此，基督徒會犯罪，但他不是一個生活在罪中的罪人，或者像一個仍然完全在罪中的非基督徒。 希望這有幫助，不會令人困惑。


ＪＹ：In order to walk in the light, we have to keep repenting our sins. How important repentance is!

為了在光明中行走，我們必須不斷悔改我們的罪過。 悔改是多麼重要啊！

Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent? (Don Blackwell)

Subject: "Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent?" Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: https://www.willowcofc.net/ Willow Avenue Church of Christ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Then Peter came to Jesus, and he said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him.  Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  (Mt 18:21-22). Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. How frequently should I forgive my brother? I mean, my patience runs out sometimes. I mean, sometimes enough is enough. Where do I draw the line? Peter said, is seven times enough? You know, I've got the idea that Peter...

Together: Forgive One Another

From:  Brent Kercheville - West Palm Beach church of Christ False Understanding of Forgiveness In our culture, forgiveness is a unilateral internal effort to get my own emotions under control. It is a therapeutic view of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about me. We see this in the way the word “forgiveness” is used. For example, we will hear people say that you need to forgive yourself. This does not make sense using the word biblically. The scriptures never say to forgive yourself. But what people mean about forgiving yourself is this unilateral internal effort to get your own emotions under control and move yourself to some sort of happy place. This is not a biblical view but you can see why there is confusion when we discuss forgiveness from a biblical basis.  Another example of this misunderstanding of forgiveness is that you will hear people say that they have forgiven God or cannot forgive God. This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and...
