You will never be able to justify your own sins by pointing at the sins of others...You make your own point completely moot because you have fabricated for yourself a safety net before you open fire. If you believe in sin then we can discuss, as we are ALL sinners...If you DONT, then you cannot point to the faults of others...You are simply trying to make yourself look righteous by shifting the focus FROM yourself and onto others.... DONT argue about sin if you dont acknowledge it...If anyone continues to sin then they are simply either false converts or they have found the battle to resist temptation far too hard and have given up....This person who has given up though is not UNAWARE of the consequence of sin...He is simply struggling with it. He does not say that it ISNT sin... He is simply feeling defeated........He KNOWS he has sinned but does not feel worthy of Gods forgiveness, so he battles. Being a believer is a battle Sylvan... You will never know it from the inside unless you surrender to Christ. You will forever be trying to justify how good YOU are by pointing toward the sins and faults of others. You will find that pretty easy Sylvan because when you look around yourself it's always easy to see people who are "worse' than you, and "better' than you...You will always because of this, feel safe in your own kingdom....... I have news for you Sylvan......"ALL HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF GODS STANDARD OF HOLINESS". Including YOU..!! Regards, Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
