We hear this statement so much today trying to justify the love of a person, while yet hating sin. But one must look at the statement and see what it really says and what unbelief it demonstrates!
First, if you take the sin away from a sinner, he no longer is a sinner. As with a criminal, if the crime is removed from the charge, he no longer is a criminal. We don’t say, he’s a criminal even when he’s done no crime, or when the crime has been vacated. We proclaim his innocence in that there is no crime. If the criminal is a criminal, then it means that the person has been found guilty of a crime and has been proven to be responsible for the crime. Yet when it comes to sin, we don’t take the same approach. We don’t wait until a sinner is found guilty of the sin, then call them a sinner, we proclaim that so many are sinners because of what someone else did, “the transgression of Adam”. (which is addressed in another article) We don’t call a person a criminal because of what someone else has done, nor should we call a person a sinner for what someone else has done, and for which a sinner has not been found guilty of , or of which there is no proof that they are responsible for.
It’s time for those that want to speak of “sinners” to know that if you take the sin away from a sinner, he no longer is a sinner. If he hasn’t ever been convicted of the sin, then he’s not a sinner either. If he is a sinner, and has been found guilty of the sin, the Judge is the one that will and is the only one in authority to issue the punishment for that sin in the first place. So with that… if one beliefs the bible is the word of God.. it stands to reason that one would believe that Jesus came to take away the sins of the world, and that anyone that’s in the world has had the sin of the world taken … so therefore they are not sinners. If one should believe that the bible is not the word of God, then it would stand to reason that by that admission that there is also no foundation for calling someone a sinner, which usually never occurs.
Those that believe the bible is the word of God must also believe what’s in it or by their own admission say that they believe God lied and didn’t send a sinless perfect son to take away the sin of the world. It cannot be both ways.. and if Jesus came to take away the sins of the world, then there are no sinners, and if everyone is still a sinner, then why did God send Jesus in the first place? If all are sinners, and God doesn’t hear the prayers of sinners, why are so many fighting for the right to pray when God’s not listening in the first place.
It’s time for those that profess to be believers in the bible, the “word of God”, to believe. You either believe it’s the word of God.. and you believe what’s in it, or you’re a non believer and shouldn’t be using the bible as the foundational basis of any of your convictions. You can’t have convictions about what you don’t believe and you can’t believe in what you have no convictions in! It’s simply not possible! Jesus either has done what the bible claims He did… and there is no more sin, or God lied and all are eternally lost, with no further remission for sin, rendering Jesus’ life and death worthless! Think about it!
The truth, wonderful as it is, is simple. There are no sinners! The sin of the world has been removed! It’s time to believe!!
There are some of you that will read this article and claim it to be heresy, which is fine, it’s not your opinion that matters. The one thing that anyone professing to believe should be reminded of is, if God saved you, then it’s possible for ALL MANKIND! If you can’t have enough FAITH in GOD to believe that if HE saved YOU… He has done it for all mankind, since the bible says that God is no respecter of any man’s person, and if He made mercy and grace available to you, then no one is exempt! Think about it… how could the blood that took away the sins of the world, have missed anyone then, or since??
