1 | Sin Flatters and Deceives | Ps 36:2 | DocTrinsograce | 243391 | ||
"Sin is a blasting presence, and every fine power shrinks and withers in the destructive heat. Every spiritual delicacy succumbs to its malignant touch... Sin impairs the sight, and works toward blindness. Sin benumbs the hearing and tends to make men deaf. Sin perverts the taste, causing men to confound the sweet with the bitter, and the bitter with the sweet. Sin hardens the touch, and eventually renders a man 'past feeling.' All these are Scriptural analogies, and their common significance appears to be this -- sin blocks and chokes the fine senses of the spirit; by sin we are desensitized, rendered imperceptive, and the range of our correspondence is diminished. Sin creates callosity. It hoofs the spirit, and so reduces the area of our exposure to pain." --John Henry Jowett (1863-1923) |

2 | Sin Flatters and Deceives | Ps 36:2 | EdB | 243392 | ||
The Pharisees were quick to accuse Jesus when He talked of sin. Instead of accepting what Jesus was telling them they attempted to deflect the listener’s attention to question the One that was calling out sin. Your quote is right sin manifests in may ways and blinds those in sin so they can not see it. However shining a light of truth is not sin it is the duty of all that see people being misled. If a wolf comes into the sheep fold should no one sound the alarm. Is it sin to do so. Many things happened in the Reformation and many of the men touted to be spiritual leaders of the Reformation were nothing more than mouthpieces and politicians of those whose agenda was cast off restraint and do as they saw fit. Many sent innocent souls to the stake simply because those souls did not agree with them. Interestingly history simply ignores those facts and often touts these men as great theologians and saviors of the true church. They are guilty of Habakkuk 2:10 (NKJV) 10 You give shameful counsel to your house, Cutting off many peoples, And sin against your soul. |
