No Sin – No Problem
…in response to those who say there is no “sin”
Christians have no problem whatsoever with any human without sin. No problem. The only thing is, in all of history – we have only found ONE without sin. But if you are without sin, terrific. Keep it up!
Being without sin means that you meet God’s standard for acceptance by His holiness. You will be accepted into heaven, no problem, without sin.
The problem is, you most likely overlooked a few here and there. Well …everywhere. Sure you looked?
If you are without sin, you would only be the second in all of history! Way to go! You have managed to equal God Himself, Jesus the Messiah! Wow.
But I rather think that you just prefer to change definitions in order to accommodate your preferences. Right? We humans are SO good at that, rationalizing things so they fit into our preferred mentality.
Adulterers do it. Lie makers do it. Speeders do it. Backstabbers do it. Corrupt politicians do it. Homosexuals do it. Gossipers do it. We all do it. We rationalize. We convince ourselves that what we are doing is “okay”. We make-up new definitions. Then it’s all okay.
Like when I get upset at someone. I say to myself: “It’s just natural. The driver was a jerk.” But, my next question should be: “What about Jesus in this situation? What would Jesus do?”
Or, like when my wife irritates me, I okay my snap-back comment. I say to myself: “She shouldn’t have done that… and it’s only right that I let her know. I wasn’t unkind. She was.”
The real problem here is that we are not the Ultimate One. The true great Rationalist is the God who determined it all in the first place and set this all up. Who are we to usurp Him?! We cannot win any argument with God. He wins in the end.
Give it up. There is no one without sin.
FOR MORE:
Want to have sin when you go before The Judge? What the Hell? Don’t you want to go to Heaven? Only Jesus Messiah was “without sin”. Me, you… not a chance. We need His pure forgiveness!

Sin is not the issue in salvation Excerpt: Being a sinner
Salvation is about your yielding to Him in repentance. Jesus took care of sin – on the cross. The penalty was paid. Jesus paid it all! That is not in question. He’s got you covered there (“covered” as in: available for you).

The Way to Salvation always involves obedience to Jesus
Hi again, Craig: I have started that article I promised. But, got called away to care for a relative. Will continue today.
I always think of the “Thief on the Cross” with Jesus — and how the recorded conversation shows how simple and immediate salvation actually is. See: Thief On The Cross [https://ohmygodjesus.com/2021/04/12/thief-on-the-cross/] and The rest of the story of the thief on the cross [https://ohmygodjesus.com/2023/04/11/the-rest-of-the-story-of-the-thief-on-the-cross/].
Back to you when I publish the new article. ><>Keith
Craig, I finally published a reply to your question. It’s online as “How you can know you are a Christian” (February 4, 2024). Hope I’ve answered a lot. Let me know further questions.
Hi Craig. I’ve written a rather long “look-see” into what Jesus requires of us — to be saved: “Jesus saves and Jesus condemns“. Hope it further helps with your question about salvation. Salvation is simple, but so is deception. We can fool ourselves so easily. That is why Scripture says to humble ourselves. Much harder to be deceived if we are humble before God. Blessings on you, Craig. ><>keith@ohmygodjesus.com
I am truly concerned.
Am I really saved or living in a fantasy world?
If I die right now will Jesus tell me “I don’t know you”. If the rapture happens will I be left behind?
Hi Craig, That is what we all need to be asking ourselves, amigo. Funny thing – this morning I woke up thinking about that very question, and was about to start writing a new post. That will take a while to write, so… For now: look into https://ohmygodjesus.com/faq/ and the FAQ: What must I do to get saved.
