We; as Christians are all subject to sin.We are prone.We are tempted. And we fall.
What exactly is sin?
The word derives from "Old English syn(n), for original *sunjō. The stem may be related to that of Latin 'sons, sont-is' guilty. In Old English there are examples of the original general sense, ‘offence, wrong-doing, misdeed'".
The English Biblical terms translated as "sin" or "syn" from the Biblical Greek and Jewish terms sometimes originate from words in the latter languages denoting the act or state of missing the mark; the original sense of New Testament Greek ἁμαρτία hamartia "sin", is failure, being in error, missing the mark, especially in spear throwing;[3] Hebrew hata "sin" originates in archery and literally refers to missing the "gold" at the center of a target, but hitting the target, i.e. error.[4] "To sin" has been defined from a Greek concordance as "to miss the mark".
The doctrine of sin is central to Christianity, since its basic message is about redemption in Christ. Christian hamartiology describes sin or mans' sinful nature being revealed though acts of offence against God by despising his persons and Christian biblical law, and by injuring others. In Christian views it induces the evil human acts, which violates the rational nature of man as well as God's nature and his eternal law. According to the classical definition of
St. Augustine of Hippo sin is made known through "a word, deed, or desire in opposition to the eternal law of God."
Among some scholars, sin is understood mostly as legal infraction or contract violation of non-binding philosophical frameworks and perspectives of Christian ethics, and so salvation tends to be viewed in legal terms.
Other Christian scholars understand sin to be fundamentally relational—a loss of love for the Christian God and an elevation of self-love ("concupiscence", in this sense), as was later propounded by Augustine in his debate with the Pelagians. As with the legal definition of sin, this definition also affects the understanding of Christian grace and salvation, which are thus viewed in relational terms.
Can we stop sinning? Yes.We are told we are able to overcome it.
Our example,Mar'Yah Ysho (Eoshoa) Msheekah (Jesus) overcame it though he was deemed divine and without sin.
Tempted in all ways as men are,but never sinned. We; are still prone to sin,all our lives,and are never free from it until we die.Yet we are saved by grace and the death and resurrection of Mar'Yah Ysho (Eoshoa) Msheekah.His blood covers us and he is our intermediary, who talks with Mar'Yah Alaha ( God,the father) on our behalf. Sin according to Pastors,TV evangelists and Christians, is deemed inherited from our first Parents, Adam and Eve.
It's in us. It's like a virus.
Many Christians,etc, profess that we are all born into the world,with sin.
So; if an infant is born into the world and regarded as an innocent (and they die during birth or sometime later),they'll get into heaven no sweat, as there's no judgement upon them.
But I believe,using common sense and logic,that our sinful nature (if truly within us) is nurtured,hatched,by our first teachers - Our parents who may or not be believers,and those around us - that surround us,as we grow,from an infant into a teen.We see,we learn.We hear,we copy.We mimic.
We are taught by our parents,siblings,peers,school teachers,religious leaders,etc what is good,bad,right from wrong,,what is acceptable,what isn't what is cool,fun,etc.
The Jesuits know very well,that the best years to train susceptible in their ways for their Order,is between the ages of 0-7,because they will carry on what they've been taught or trained,throughout their entire adult life.

Modus Operandi of the Jesuits:
If one were to define Jesuit behavior, it’s that of a chameleon: deceptive and two-faced. They put forth the appearance of chastity and take vows of poverty but proceed like a Mafia. Their motto is that the ends justify the means. They were money grabbers and, in particular, targeted rich childless widows, who they would literally own and control. Naturally in such a system, the order would end up with the property and wealth of their targets. If others tried to intervene or oppose them, they were some of the best ever at gang stalking.
📷
The order’s tactics and methods were starkly revealed in a book called the “The Secret Instructions of the Jesuits.” The book was released by a former Jesuit in 1717. Naturally, the rebuttal is that this is a fraud and forgery. But just like other works of this type, the path to veritas may lie in whether the book described well the proclivities and practices of the order. Indeed, the chapters illustrate many of the problems with their conduct and that were largely a part of the papal expulsion of 1773.
Chapter 6 is devoted to THE MODE OF ATTRACTING RICH WIDOWS.
Chapter 7 is devoted to the SYSTEM WHICH MUST BE EMPLOYED WITH WIDOWS AND METHODS OF DISPOSING OF THEIR PROPERTY.
Chapter 8 describes the METHODS BY WHICH THE CHILDREN OF RICH WIDOWS MAY BE CAUSED TO EMBRACE THE RELIGIOUS STATE, OR OF DEVOTION.
Contemporary English Version :
All of us have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. Romans 3:23
Sin:New Living Translation "I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong." The apostle Paul.
Genesis 4:7 "If you do what is right,will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you,but you must rule over it.” God speaking to Cain.
Contemporary English Version If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling.But you did the wrong thing,and now sin is waiting to attack you like a lion. Sin wants to destroy you, but don't let it! Genesis 4:7. God speaking to Cain.
Master it! Conquer sin! Rule over it! Find a way to Master it! Find the way,
a way that works for you!
Berean Study Bible
Submit yourselves, then, to God.Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7.
Contemporary English Version Surrender to God! Resist the devil, and he will run from you. James 4:7. But just how does one stop sinning? I've tried and failed. I try and fail.every time.
I have listed key scriptures that suggests you should and how,but the problem is it doesn't tell you how to - fully...You may find other key verses throughout the Bible that tells you how.This requires you to do the research to find out exactly how!
22/06/2019:
I listened to a Sermon preached by a 7th Day Adventist Pastor and he stated: "We are deemed innocent,and are considered righteous by God,even though we may continue to sin".
"In ourselves we are not righteous, but God has made us perfectly righteous in His sight".
How did God do this?
He put us in Christ; we are made "the righteousness of God in Him." The Bible says, "For He has made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5:21
"For he that did not know sin,because of you committed sin,so that we could become in him Allaha's holiness".2 Corinthians 5:21
Aramaic New Testament translation by Victor Alexander.
21 For, He who had not known sin, on our behalf was made sin, so that we would become, in Him, The Zadiykutha d'Alaha {The Righteousness of God}.
