I can't say how much sin because I personally see no reason to limit forgiveness to a certain number. I think its much more about the heart. When a person sins are they broken because of their sin and come to God in repentance and confession OR do they sin willfully and make excuses/justification for their sin? Id be very concerned for the person who claims to be a believer but sins willfully and isn't bothered by it.

But I do think there is a distinction between God's children (believers) and those His creation (all). The two are not interchangeable.

The heart in every human is deceitful. We all lie. We all sin. There are none worthy, and there are none good, no not one. To think that those who are in Religion are different is one of the biggest lies of all. One fact that proves this: Divorce. There are the same number of Divorces in Religion as in the World. People come to church with the false impression that their family life will be better; wrong!

Religion causes families to break apart, not come together.

What separates God's Children from Humanity? Didn't God create everyone? Our ideals in Western Christianity are shallow and selfish. We are elitists, thinking we are better than others who don't see things the way we do.

If a saint will walk with God and walk in the Spirit, they can live a "sin free" life(only sinning on a rare occasion, but bound to no sin)...carnal Christians give in to the concept of, "we are only human", giving us excuses not to walk at the level required by God. When the Holy Ghost enters us, it begins to "break" us and "free" us. We must allow it to completely DOMINATE us. If we dont, we are NOT living in the will of God for our lives. There is no such thing as a carnal saint, you and I are either carnal, or a saint.Divorce is just a symptom of someones carnality in their religious life.(church related divorces)
