so are u a saint

*[size=5pt]thou shall not lie[/size]*

You may not see me as one; but God calls me a saint -

". . . to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saint" (1 Cor. 1:2).

"For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren," (Heb. 2:11).

Now if I should say otherwise that I am not a saint, that is when I lie against the WORD where indeed those who are called by faith are called 'saints'.

every single person born out of Adam is a sinner be it christians or muslims.

there is nothing like saint,it's just a word used by some english people to differentiate b/w believers and unbelievers.

@doyenn,

How bodi?

doyenn:

Not every single person born out of Adam remains a sinner. Muslims can decide to remain sinners all their life if they so choose - and we have no problems with that.

However, the glorious message of the Gospel is that in Christ we are sanctified and called saints - it is not by our own efforts; but simply by the One who Himself has done it all for us (Heb. 2:11).

Eehen? Na so? It's the usual thing for you guys to deny the beliefs of others simply because you don't find it in yours. Sorry, the Bible refers to Christians as 'saints' - and even if you don't use the English word 'saints', it nevertheless appears in the Greek manuscripts --

Matt. 27:52
"And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints (ἅγιος - hagios) which slept arose."

It would be a glorious thing for you to consider the beauties of Christ's love for yourself. I extend that invitation to you personally.

So why won't the creator of all just change all the evils of the world by simply waving the same "hand" that he used to create this world and write the 10 commandments with? (Exodus 34:1).

Christians can rejoice in what God has called them - 'saints'.

All have sinned but come short to the glory of God

The Bible also made us to know that none is holy except God himself.

jerrymania:

Ehm so why do you think muslims are sinners? Just one answer

That's what they've chosen to call themselves - I didn't accuse them.
