 Paul wrote in several of his letters a list of sinful behaviors that would keep a person out of heaven. He was referring to lifestyles: if it is a person’s habit to do something and they don’t see it as a sin. But Paul also wrote in Romans 7 that he would intend to do good and wind up sinning—he would fall victim to temptation. If a person tries to justify some sinful habit that he has as being right, he is deceiving himself and sinning. A Christian sinning is like a person practicing a song on the piano who accidentally hits a wrong note. He didn’t want to, he made a mistake.
