Well, They’re In It For A Nice Sunday Surprise

Well, this pretty much goes against Romans 3:23. Mosckerr, I know you may not side with me on this one, but let it slide….

New American Standard Bible
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,…

And Yet:

I’m Perfect! Almost Half of All Americans, and MANY Christians, Don’t Believe They’re Sinners

I’m Perfect! Almost Half of All Americans, and MANY Christians, Don’t Believe They’re Sinners

We don’t know if they fancy they can walk on water. But almost half of all Americans, including a striking number of Christians, don’t believe they’re sinners. It’s a revelation that has implications not just for the church, but for civilization generally.

The above findings are from a study, released September 4, by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University (ACU). It’s not just that many Americans are outright sin deniers, either. For among those who claim to believe in sin, a majority contend there are no “absolute sins.” That is, “sins that are constant, regardless of the conditions or context,” as ACU puts it.

Apparently, many people think God changes his mind like a politician trying to win their votes.

Of course, such spiritual confusion is nothing new. In 2023, for example, research found that less than half of born-again Christians believe Jesus lived a sinless life on Earth. So, who knows? Maybe some of these non-sinning “Christians” think they could teach Jesus a thing or two.

Sin, the Behavior, Is In. Sin as a Concept? Not So Much

The recent findings on sin are part of the annual American Worldview Inventory. And one major finding, ACU relates,

is that just one out of every seven — or about 14% — of self-described Christians have a core theology of sin that is biblically accurate.

The rest have a culturally “accurate” (read: fashionable) view of sin.

Here’s a summary of ACU’s findings:

  • Eighty-four percent of adults do agree that “sin” exists.
  • Groups less likely to believe in sin are Gen Zers, Asian-descent Americans, sexual devolutionary (LGBTQ+) individuals, those lacking religious affiliation, Bible skeptics, believers in reincarnation, and those denying afterlife existence.
  • Seventy-two percent of those who believe in sin define it as disobedience to God. As mentioned earlier, however, 52 percent of this group claim there are no absolute sins; rather, the matter is context-dependent.

That’s not the way it works, but keep reading (even the Torah as the rules are right there) and maybe you’ll get it.

One thought on “Well, They’re In It For A Nice Sunday Surprise

  1. According to GOD, Christians aren’t sinners…. The very Biblical definition of “sinner” from the Bible is one who is on the way to hell/eternal damnation…. Christians by Bible definition, are those on the path/narrow road to Heaven… Do Christians sin? yes, they do, but they TRY not to, but when they do, they can ask for forgiveness, and repent…
