1 | Why can we not just be Christians? | 1 Pet 1:2 | DocTrinsograce | 151561 | ||
Dear Not Yet, Are you thinking, perhaps, of the following? Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. (Philippians 4:5) I don't think it can be used for the purposes you intend, but it is the only verse I can think of that says anything close to being critical of doing things "to excess." In Him, Doc |

Hi, Angel! being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, (Romans 1:29) and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, (2 Peter 2:13) NYP was suggesting that the Bible said that anything done in excess was a sin. Although the things mentioned in those verses are certainly done in excess by the lost, even doing them in moderation would be sinful! Thank you, however, for the suggestions. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Doc! I understand what you are saying and I do not suggest that Scripture say otherwise... but there are sins that actually build up (as addictive drugs)if allowed to fester (anger, envy, lust, greed...); there's hardly any moderation once a person engages them... I agree with you fully a transgression does not have to be extensive nor repetitious: sin is sin! God Bless! Angel |
