Can A Christian Sin?

What do you say? Most people who consider themselves Christians probably see this question and think, "Boy, this is way off the mark. Everyone knows the answer. It's yes." But according to the Bible, the Biblical record upon which Christianity says it bases it beliefs, this question is rightfully on the mark. But is our answer? For the record, this is not some sort of trick Bible word game. It goes to the fundamental theological core of understanding Biblical Christianity, the good news, as given to us by Christ in the first century as opposed to modern day Churchianity's skewed teachings. So, let's ask this question. What exactly is sin anyway? Can you put your answer into 25 words or less? And by what standard is sin determined … is it more or less based on the Old Testament, the law covenant Christ broke nearly 2000 years ago? [Zec. 11:10, 11]. And can a Christian sin once we are “born of God,” that is, being baptized and receiving the Spirit of God? A look into what the Biblical record actually states is quite revealing. According to the word of God, then, once we are born of God, can a Christian sin? Nope.

Of course, right about now many Christians, likely most of them evangelicals, probably think this borders on heresy if not outright blasphemy.

Book Excerpts

Riding Rogue Ponies Into The Apocalypse

At its most fundamental level, the story contained in the Biblical record is quite simple to understand as the Flow Chart at the back of the book shows. [Also see the chart at the bottom of the Feature article, A Tale Of Two Covenants]. It is totally and completely related to the two covenants, the one made with Abraham and his Seed, Christ and the law covenant made with the children of Israel and the relationship between them both through Christ.

Not understanding our place in Biblical history, we’ve lost track of who we are and our relationship to both covenants. Perhaps this is why one Christian author made the point that Christians disagree as to how to best go about following Christ in our everyday lives. What gets in the way of our understanding are the rogue ponies, the false traditions and fables that have ridden their way into Christianity over the past twenty centuries.

Updated: Then You Shall Know That I Am The LORD Your God

One of the basic tenets of the articles found on this site is that the Western indigenous Christian nations, in the Biblical record’s last days, comprise the nations of the House of Israel. The House of Israel is all Israel minus the Jews, who are the House of Judah, not to be confused with Edom, Israel's brother, who claim to be Jews, but are not. [1 Kng. 12:20; Rev. 3:9]. Our forefather Jacob/Israel addressed his twelve sons in Genesis 49, telling them what would befall them as nations, us now, "in the last days." We've forgotten all this. But not for much longer according to the prophecies.

In fact, since the beginning of 2026, that which applies to us in the Biblical record has become very apparent. [See video: Middle East War/WW3]. The lawlessness is all around us, blatant lies, out in the open, all pretense abandoned. This article contains a warning from our LORD and Savior. We would be very wise to heed that which is being told to us. When the apostles asked Christ what would be the sign of his coming, and the end of the age, our Christian age, Christ said, "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved." [Mat. 24:12, 13]. Indeed, we live in a time where the love of the truth of the word of God has grown cold by many, though not all. Depending on which group we fall into, either we are paying attention, connecting the dots, taking the warning to heart, or we are wandering along oblivious to the obvious, ignoring the peril around us.
