I think Even Chritians sin, it's hard not to do what they call "sins" each day. If their sin happened once and they've repented since, cool. If they live a lie, I can't say that's cool. I think sexual sins are just more obvious than other types I guess. I know Christians who cheat on tests, lie to their parents, cuss, or have sex. Sex is a touchier subject though, and don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all Christians are sinning sellouts. I'm saying everyone sins, I think.
Oh, wait, being a Christian means living one's life, AS CHRIST WOULD, so if you don't try your darnest to acheive that, you can still be religious, still be saved and go to heaven, but shouldn't really be called a Christian. I think I agree.
Uhm.. Notice how it keeps saying "sexual immorality"..
But, let me play the Christian trump and what most people will say in response to this: "Christ died to forgive us of our physical and emotional transgressions.. it is within human nature to sin. The Old Testament called for a "cleaning" of the promise made between God and His people. When they broke it, they sacrificed a goat/sheep/whatev.. to wash it clean. In the New Testament, God said that humans continued to sin, forever dirtying the Covenant despite attempts to cleanse it. So, He would shed His own blood in the form of Jesus Christ to keep the promise (of a place in heaven if you obey the word of God) clean forever. So, technically "Christians" can sin, safe in knowing that Christ died so they could sin.. and they should repent.
