1 | Do homosexual tendencys constitute sin? | Lev 20:13 | jlhetrick | 185124 | ||
Hi Steve, I believe your understanding of the manifestation of sin is right on the mark. If we are to believe that we have not sinned until we have touched the unholy thing then we are in fact, at that time, guilty of tempting ourselves. As you point out, it is that unholy nature, the sinfulness of our inheritance, through which we do tease ourselves to believe that we can dance around that forbidden thing without having sinned unless we touch it. It is certainly sin when we do touch it; but as you have pointed out, our sin is already counted against us when our hand only begins to reach out for it, nay, even at that point our mind has agreed with the hand to reach out. Ps 44:21 (ESV) 21 would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart. Deut 29:16-19 (ESV) 16 "You know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed. 17 And you have seen their detestable things, their idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, which were among them. 18 Beware lest there be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe whose heart is turning away today from the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. Beware lest there be among you a root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit, 19 one who, when he hears the words of this sworn covenant, blesses himself in his heart, saying, 'I shall be safe, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart.' (emphasis added) Scripture is clear that there is a progression toward and a progression of sin. (Isaiah 30:1-2, Jer 9:3, Jer 16: 11-12, Hos 13:1-2, etc.) As it is said in 2 Tim 3:13 …evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (ESV) Praise God for His mercy, praise Him for His grace: Heb 9:11-12 (ESV) 11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent ( not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. Thank you for your posts that are always thoughtful and well grounded in Scripture, Jeff |
