Maybe if you had a 6 Million Dollar man lunchbox your odds would improve substantially.

If you lived a sinless life for years, and then forgot to use your turn signal to change lanes (obeying the law of the land), and God came back before you had a chance to repent, you would go to Hell... but just remember, He loves you unconditionally!

I was going to say something about my typical drive to work earlier..... If our God was truly a "Gotchya!" God, then there are probably half a dozen opportunities for Him to "get me!" on my daily commute. But then wouldn't the slow poke drivers going the speed limit (or under) in the fast lane also be "less than perfect" for causing "wrath" in me unnecessarily, not to mention sinning themselves for not following proper road etiquette(and thus being doubly "less then perfect")?

whats the difference between me missing the mark everyday and you not admitting that you miss the mark on a regular basis?

Forgive me Obi-won. Guess i am not a Christian Jedi master like you! Lol.

Is "missing the mark" (as used in our common vernacular) always a sin?

I said nothing about myself. I just quoted you what is written in scripture.

In what sense do you sin everyday? First let's define sin. I firmly believe that if sin is properly defined most would be shocked to see that it is indeed possible to live without sinning every day. In fact, many have and don't know it.

I believe that “sin” can be defined by the following:

Having more than one God as your object of worship and devotion.
Worshipping a false God.
Speaking of God irreverently.
Failing to set aside time for worship and fellowship.
Failing to honor the family, namely your father and your mother.
Committing murder or conducting character assassination.
Failing to honor marriage in thought or deed.
Taking that which doesn’t rightfully belong to you.
Lying.
Being unthankful for what you have and allowing your desire to have what others have be your driving motivator.

I firmly believe that the above clearly defines the basic acts of sin. Nearly every “sin” of the Bible can be classified under one of the above in some way.

How can you avoid committing acts like those listed above. Simple… love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. Pretty simple. Most would be shocked to know that they have and indeed can live a day without committing “sin”.
