Bible Question:
sin is a sin? brothers and sisters i call upon you to help clear up some scripture for me. reading the ASB in 1john5:13-21. if we as devoued christians according to the scripture(verse 19) are from God then verse 18 applies that says we do not sin.however we know that there is no sinless humans.only Christ was sinless and he was only half human and half Godly.and in being saved i know i was forgiven of my previous sins. but even subtle sins are sins right? so how can we even expect to atain utter righteousness for that would be sinless.. now God has blessed me with common sence to know the difference between a big sin and a little sin. and it does say in the scripture listed that there is a sin leading to death but it dosent give a example of a sin leading to death.now i can recall from my learnings that the blasphmy of the holy spirit is the only unforgivable sin.but now lets be honest if i went out and bought a new computer with all the bells and whistles it is done not out of necessity but out of greed and lust and those are sins...i guess all we can do is keep trying and striving and praying constantly...but i have also read in the bible that if we are not living in christ(i.e. sinning) that God dosent hear us..so are my prayers in vein??i surly pray not... but i can not be hypocritical and say i am sinless for we all know better. i heard a preacher on TV the other day say that if you take a extra 5 mins on your break at work you are stealing from the company and are in danger of judgement of God.(the preacher obviously has not labored for a living. for to me a extra 5 mins is a blessing hehe)..God bless each and every one of you on this forum i have realy enjoyed reading all of your debates on scripture but you always seem to find ways to find scripture to argue with other scripture and that worries me at times..some times i think that in reading the bible the point of it all is not to understand each and every word and cratique it but to get an over all spiritual meaning out of it..like the scripture i talked about at the begining of this entry..its kinda confusing and somewhat contradicting to other parts of the bible and im sure that isent the only place where it is like that. but get past it and move on and keep striving and praying and striving and praying and keep your nose in the bible each and every day..... i think the person who came up with WWJD(what would Jesus do) is a genious(spell check)and has hit the hammer on the head... agian God bless each and every one of you and please pray for me also so i may find guidance in my life......

Bible Answer: dear dan, sin is not good , even pilfering an "extra" 5 minutes on the break. see james 2:10. an important consideration when considering ones spiritual condition is "am i repenting of the sins that i still find myself doing?" when we stop fighting the battle an cave into sin we are in danger. but if we are through faith in Christ counseling and confessing sin and praying for strength and for deliverance then we can be confident that Jesus forgives us, and that we are in the Way, Truth, and our life is hid in His Life. Simply put the Wisdom of GOD would have us practise repenence not pratise sin. this is very clearly the response of the heart of the man of faith, it absolutely necessary to salvation and the daily assurance of salvation. it is as the team colors on God's side are "faith" and "repentance". nothing could be clearer than this. your servant dasev |
