Saints and Sinners

When you go to your church and the pasta says, "Praise the lord saints" do you respond to the principal of action implied? When you are asked if you are a sinner, what is your answer? As a saint, do you sin? Do saints sin? As a saint, do you still commit sin? As a sinner, are you still a saint? Is the path to becoming a saint walked by the feet of a sinner? If so, is the sinner still a sinner while walking that path to becoming a saint? Or was it that they were always a saint and it took the life of sin to bring that into reality? If so, then is the path of sin a good path or a bad one?

When you as a saint go to church to ask for forgiveness, what do you ask forgiveness for if you are a saint and no longer a sinner? Do saints sin? Do saints sin as the sinner does?

What makes one a saintlike sinner and not be a hypocrite? Well, if the saint sins as the sinner does, because the saint has the same common flaw of sin as the sinner, then is there truly a distinction between the sinner and the saint? If there is no distinction in the 2 of them pertaining to the common human flaw, then why does the one who is asserting to be better than the sinner, as if they are sinless, judging and condemning the other as a sinner?

Free your mind of these bondage and lets try to help one another get through this valley without trying to judge others as something you are not above yourself. Stay humble and human and then things will get better for all of us. If you are truly saved, then you don't have to face judgment. Judgment is for to see "If" you are saved. Humble yourself church. You are no better than the rest.
