Boy, this is getting complicated.

A) Man is born a sinner.

B) To be saved from his sins he must accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior.

Now you are telling me that man, the born sinner, should not commit sins. How can this be?

If man is a born sinner, he will sin. If he sins, then acceptance of Jesus Christ is salvation.

If man, the born sinner, does not sin, why does he need Jesus Christ to save him?

In order to be saved by Jesus Christ, man has to sin. Man has to sin yet you are claiming he must not sin.

Scratching my head in wonder.

Man who continues to sin after accepting Jesus Christ is still a sinner and not saved. The "acceptence" was a sham (I want to be saved but I want to have these other things too).

Many people struggle with temptations.

No man can live a sinless life. Only Jesus Christ was capable of this because he is the son of God. God knew what he was doing when he created us. He didn't want perfect little robots that would automatically do whatever he says. No, God wants man to Love him because he Loved us first by giving his only son to pay for our sins.

Jesus showed us that the way, the truth, and the life. God wants us to love him so much, that we lose our fear of death because we know we have eternal life.

God is not your enemy, he is your only true friend.
