Today, at the church, people were discussing different topics. One person said that almost every day, Saten sends thoughts of sin to us. If we reject the thought, we have not sinned. If we accept the thought, we did sin.

For example, a person often recieves thoughts to lie, steal, commit adultry, or to do any sin. If the person accept the thought, and thinks, "This is a good idea", then the person has sinned. If the person rejects the thought, and thinks " Saten, get away from me", then the person did not sin.

If you think about it, this is exactly what happened to Jesus when he was tempted. Since Jesus rejected all of the thought of saten, Jesus did not sin. I mean common, Jesus had thoughts of suicide, pride, lust of material possesions, and some other bad thoughts. Since Jesus rejected all of those thoughts, he did not sin.

If a person says that he sins every days, then it's either the person misunderstands the Bible, or really does sin every day.

If the person misunderstands the Bible, then that person thinks that he has sinned when a bad thought entered his brain. The person thinks that he that even thought he has rejected the though, he has sinned. However, that is not true. For if a person rejects a sinful thought, then the person has not sinned.

If really does sin every day, then the person accepts every sinful thought that enters his brain every day.
