No we are not called to continue to sin, we are made new creatures so we should no longer have a desire to sin. But we are NOT perfect... This is the whole point, even a Christian sins, our mind wants to please the flesh but our spirit wants to serve God.
So ... what was the point of that whole crucifixion and stuff...? I mean, what you are saying - it seems things are absolutely the same, crucifixion or no crucifixion. You can still sin. Then you can repent. You could do that BEFORE Christ too. Renders all your teachings moot.

Are you Christian? If not then why do these things concern you...
As for what you just said that's not what I'm saying out all. But yes Christians can still sin.

Well that's what you was implying in your previous post, and I recall you did say that we are NOT saved by grace. Anyhow someone who wilfully disobeys is not a Christian and is a false convert imo.
I gues, this was the work of the Holy Spirit too ...

So then, it was the Holy Spirit guiding that preacher to go to a prostitute and cheat on his wife.
You, know there was another preacher who ALSO had a debate with the late Ahmad Deedat. His name was Anis Shorros. A palestinian christian. He was so loud, cursing and being impolite. Was also boasting about having "the Holy Spirit in him" and presenting himself "superior" to Deedat, the "stupid muslim".
He too is now in jail, haha. He set an apartment complex on fire and tried to kill countless people.
I gues, this was the work of the Holy Spirit too ...

Well you have just proven you are not a Christian with that, so thanks for making it clear.
Atleast we don't have to play games with each other now.
If you understand that you were saved by Grace then you understand that you did nothing to deserve being saved.
When you tell someone else that they are going to hell you take a place of righteousness.
So then, it was the Holy Spirit guiding that preacher to go to a prostitute and cheat on his wife. I see ...

I'd think the preacher, (if the story is true), was ignoring the Holy Spirit's guidance when He did that with the prostitute. Paul exhorts us to live by the Spirit, and not by the flesh. My conjecture is that if he warned us to not give occasion to act on the lust of the flesh that it's possible to act on the lust of the flesh. It's not a sin to be tempted, it's a sin when you act on that temptation.

Nope but I do believe it is possible to stop willfully sinning.
