Q5: Do Christians sin every second? Distinguishing temptation from sin
Response to question about frequency of sin in the Christian life
Mike argues that Christians are not sinning every moment. He draws a critical distinction: temptation is not sin. Conflating temptation with sin leads to depression and prevents recognizing victories. James 1 is cited: a person is tempted when drawn away by their own desires — sin occurs when desire conceives with the will, moving to either fantasizing about or acting on the sinful desire.
