Of course no one wants to sin..But sometimes we want to do the things that are sinfull..Thats what temptation is..

Some sins at the time feel good..Its not "wanting to sin"..its wanting to feel good or get out of pain..

After all we are all sinners for some reason.I dont think for most of us its because we "want to be"...

Are you saying that if we sin (as Christians) we don't believe in Christ?

I agree, but whether we want to sin or not, we seem to do so from time to time. That's why I see repentence as important.

It sounded more like to me if we believe in Christ we wont be tempted.Because no one I know 'wants" to sin..

To me, it's more a case of if we believe in Christ, we will be able to withstand temptation. I believe that Christians are constantly being tempted to sin. Some Christians apparently even think that sinning after one's conversion is no big deal since they're "already saved" and cannot lose their salvation. If I were Satan, I'd definitely use that to my advantage.

You know sometimes Christians are full of bull..

Ask all of them I mean ALL of them if they had premarital sex...I can GUARANTEE the majority did..BUT they will say.."thats before I was saved" or BUT I had "fallen away"..Of course..what else are they going to say..."but I did it anyway because it felt good at the time"!.or for any reason.NO>. ...pussy foot around..and pretend you didnt actually chose to sin knowing you were sinning and at the time you didn't really want to.....

I'm quite the opposite; I can feel very defeated if I know I've stuffed up badly. I mean, realising that and reconciling is part of it, but I think I get too far down. I think Satan uses that to his advantage too.
