Subject: Are the Seven Deadly Sins in the Bible? |
Bible Note: Dear friend Nolan, Please do not think that I am dismissing anything. Usually this would mean a superior dismissing an inferior. Quite the oppposite, I find such philosophical thought beyond my humble abilities. To quote you," Now we know that there is one sin that is unforgiveable- that being blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. And God sees all of our sins in the same way and forgave them all through Christ." This is enough for me. Others may decide to dwell further into the matter. I have studied philosophy, and was saved from it when apprehended by Jesus. Right now, Francis Schaeffer is as deep as I get, and he prefers a 'simpler is better' philosophy. If you are better able to understand your battle with sin through classification and application of corresponding virtue, far be it from me to discourage you from that practice. You did ask for thoughts. Some may be deeper, some may be shallower, and some may be exactly the same as yours:-) I only pray that my own 'shallow' method would be effective to combat the sin and temptation I face. Some may be encouraged by your way, and some may find strength in mine. I pray that our combined proposition of faith, and discussion thereof, would help someone. Please do continue to post your thoughts, and bear with me when I am not in complete agreement with you. I enjoy what you write, and never think of it as 'wrong.' Peace unto you in Christ Jesus, charis |
