I believe it was said that anyone who practices sinning is a slave to sin. Is there anybody that doesn't "practice sin"? I'm of the thought that even the strictest and best-intentioned Christians on Earth can't help but sin (miss the mark) on a daily basis. Or are those who come up short but dutifully do their best NOT, in fact, "practicing sin"?

A Slave to Sin is Carnal or Religious Carnal ! Period !

When one is Truly Saved ? you are no longer a Slave to Sin, because you have a handle on Sin, so you have understanding on how to deal with such Sin in fact !
It does not mean that one will not Sin ? but you are not owned by Sin ? get it. their is a great difference in fact !

Not to mention if the Saved do step into a Sin, they repent and do not bath in in it !

1 Corinthians 10:13

13" There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

Lot's of Christians use this verse to say that God never gives you more trials and tribulations than you can bear but, really it is saying He will always give you the ability to escape temptation so that you will not let it lead to sin.

It is about what our live is directed at. Is our goal to live in obedience to God's law so that we repent if we sin? Or is our goal to do whatever is right in our own eyes?
