Many Christians will admit they sin all the time, daily or weekly. This is peculiar when we consider verses that speak of correcting fellow believers of their sin and even going to the extreme of excommunicating them from the fellowship. So, if we all are sinning all of the time, on a weekly basis, shouldn't we be getting excommunicated? haha
I just find it something to be pondered when we look at scripture and how believers are dealt with who sin, and then we state of ourselves that we sin often. How do we reconcile the two? Our sin and the confronting of sin, either in encouragement or in excommunication?
I suppose this might be a dig at the concept that we sin daily, weekly, or monthly, but it does make an interesting point. Should we all be excommunicated? Handed over to satan? Why does scripture seem to speak of us being set free from sin's dominion and yet we claim daily sin, and if that be the case, doesn't scripture speak of addressing such sin in a number of ways?
