SPECIAL OCCASION SINNERS BY STEVE FINNELL
If you are a Christian and only sin on special occasions will you be exempt from not inheriting the kingdom of God?
Is it Scripturally correct to claim you are not guilty of sin because you only sin on special occasions like birthdays, holidays, and a few randomly selected days?
Can I assert I am not a thief, because I do not steal on a regular bases?
Can men say they are not a drunkards, because they only get drunk on special occasions?
Can men assume they are not fornicators, because they only have sex with people who they are not married to, on rare occasions?
Can men assert that they not homosexuals, because they have sex with the same sex infrequently?
Can men proclaim they are not murderers, because they only murder a few times a year?
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
The apostle Paul did not say, "Such were some of you, however, now you are special occasion sinners that can continue your sins on a somewhat limited schedule."
