    44 Percent of American Believers Think Jesus Sinned, New Survey Finds

    The latest findings from The American Worldview Inventory 2020 (AWVI 2020) show that some 44 percent of American believers think that Jesus sinned.

    The survey also revealed a dramatic decline in the number of Americans who hold to a biblical worldview.

    According to the survey, about 51 percent of American adults have a traditional view of God as opposed to 73 percent in 1991, a 22 percent drop from 30 years ago.

    Regarding belief in Jesus, 44 percent of respondents who believe in Jesus, also believe he sinned, whereas 41 percent say he did not.

    Fifty-two percent believe that "the Holy Spirit is not a living entity, but merely a symbol of God's power, presence or purity."

    Additionally, the survey revealed that more people believe in Satan (56 percent) than believe in God (51 percent) as an influential spiritual being. Additionally, 49 percent are unsure if God exists at all.

    Director of Research at the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University and founder of the Barna Group, Dr. George Barna wrote in a statement regarding the survey's finding, "Tens of millions of Americans consider themselves to be Christian but do not believe that God is really in control or cares what happens to them."

    He noted the shift in worldview from thirty years ago, saying that people went from "learning and thinking about God" to becoming "more self-absorbed", rejecting the existence of absolute moral truth.

    In an interview with CBN News, Barna shares that people act more on fear and rely on the government than on God who is "not in the equation" in difficult circumstances.

    The AWVI 2020 also found that 51 percent of pastors on the Barna Church Panel reported an increase in virtual church attendance over in-person church attendance.

    The recent publication of the AWVI 2020 is the third release of an annual series of surveys that estimates the number of adults who have a biblical worldview.

    The assessment is based on 51 worldview-related questions that are drawn from eight categories of worldview application. Those questions are divided into queries regarding both beliefs and behavior.

    This is due to the fact that most people no longer see the Bible as inerrant or infallible. They don't even see it as God's written Word. They believe that it contains God's Word but it is not God's Word. It is "inspired" as any other wonderful piece of literature (Shakespeare, the Koran, etc.). If they truly believed the Bible as the inerrant written message from God then they would never question the holiness or deity of our Lord.

    The Bible is clear that Jesus never sinned:

    For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15)

    For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (2 Cor. 5:21)

    And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. (1 John 3:5)

    For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (1 Peter. 2:21-22)

    For my part, I believe what the Bible says without question. He never sinned and because He never sinned He was able to redeem me from my sin. I sinned but He didn't and His never sinning gives me the power over sin and wipes away the record of my past sins.
