1 | Are the Seven Deadly Sins in the Bible? | Prov 6:16 | Makarios | 4347 | ||
Blessings brother Charis and peace! Say, I apologize if what I wrote made you think that your way of avoiding sin or understanding sin is 'shallow'! Your method is not shallow by any means since we must do all that we can to avoid sin! :) We must be as 'shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves' (Matt. 10:16). There is no 'wrong' way to avoid sin, except by taking your own life. And your way of looking at this question is not wrong at all. I was not trying to be critical of your thoughts, however 'deep' they may be, and I apologize if you took it that way. When I said 'dismissing as an afterthought', I meant that I disagreed with you that you might find it meaningless to dwell on this topic. That is all I meant by that. But I do value your thoughts! Please feel free to tell me how you feel. I will respect your input. As for philosophy, I had my first exposure to it at Indiana Wesleyan Univ where we would debate certain points of view and back it up using arguments from several philosophers. But I did not enjoy that class and found the greater portion of it as meaningless jargon that should not be dwelled on for any constructive use.. I apologize to any philosophy students out there! But to obtain a decent grade and pass the course (since it was a required class), I had to be fluent in several of the philosophers and I still have the books.. :) But the greatest teacher of all was Jesus Christ! And the single most edifying way to describe his love for us is to sing the simple song, "Jesus Loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so".. :)Blessings to you Charis, my brother in Christ! I'm sure that we will cross paths again in the forum and I look forward to reading your posts! | ||||||

Dear Nolan, Shu ware wo aisu...Waga Shu Iesu, Ware wo aisu. (Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so, in Japanese) Friend, no offense taken, or even thought of. Blessings upon you in the abundance of Christ. I really do enjoy discussing such things with you, my brother. Maybe one day we can wash one another's feet! In Jesus' name, charis |
