This chapter makes a lot of sense to me and is how I see it.
Romans chapter 6

“What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The guy who swears, and other wise leads a good life, is in no way morally equivalent to this guy:

Maybe so, but some sin is a lot more fun than other sin.

Fireball is too drunk to type out Bible verse right now.

I'd sure feel sorry for the bus driver.

As a Christian, we have to be an example of how to live our lives and refrain from pointing fingers (judging) others.

The sins of the father will be visited on the sons through the (humm) 3rd or 4th generation. Doesnt matter. Im just the second gen.

Jesus didnt cuss when he whipped the money changers out of the sinnygog, but i aint Jesus.

In fact, i may not even be a Christian but i believe in Jesus Christ.

Has been an issue for the past 2000 years. Paul wrote about it in Romans. Not condoning it. Just part of the human condition...

Did the Lord save your lying ass?

Just one more reason Christianity is so fractionated, Grace vs. Deeds.

No he did not.

Just here?

I believe you are half right

Im trying to do better. You did right by reminding us of our sin.

Paul said, “Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but such as is edification for the moment.”

Moses said, “The Lord will not leave him unpunished that takes His name in vain.”

Certainly a true disciple of Christ abides by these tenets with no question.

We should be able to judge other Christians if they are in the wrong, And that is who I’m talking about.

That's all we can ask.

Perfection is not possible. I'm satisfied with the man who continues to make progress.

This^^^. God bless you, AS, as your needs may be.

Please tell me what I left out.
