I do things all the time that are sinful. We all do. I ask for forgiveness and try not to do them again. I know God forgives me and understands my nature. I know that God forgives me long before I have forgiven myself.
Well, I think it's personal choice. God tells me He is okay with it. For others, He may say differently. I focus on what God tells me and not what He tells anyone else. It's none of my business. :)
I went back and read what I wrote and see how that could have been taken wrong. The are you serious part didn't need to be written. I think now I understand what you're trying to say. I'm sorry that I misunderstood you as well. :)
Before you correct someone else, remember the scripture Matthew 7:3-5, "And
why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?" :)
Edited to add: I hope we are done with this, it's silly and childish.
whatever - you are being too defensive and it's pointless to carry this conversation on further with you. No need to be rude - this IS a christian forums board. May God bless you and I'll say a prayer for you this evening. :)
So was I and as you admitted, you have not read through the OP. I was doing the same. I did not know that wasn't allowed. Thank you for the warm welcome. You can understand why it shocked me that a christian would say that assaulting another was acceptable. I will not comment any further...
I see this more and more. It's so sad.
I didn't think it was funny and I wasn't attacking you. Just wanted to be clear at how serious I thought this topic was.
I thought he had a cross in his name? :scratch:
1 - I read your commentary.
2 - I was having a discussion and saying that made no sense to me.
3 - I wasn't offended.
4- Do not presume you can read another's thoughts.
Is being rude sinful to you as well?
My first instinct was to say No. But then again, I don't know. You have certainly made me look at the situation differently from another view point. It's funny, I had already asked myself that question when you mentioned the pentagram.
Crazyfingers and Airpo - yes, you've both made a point. :) I didn't think about it like that. Yes, I can see now where people would get offended. I'd be offended at a pentagram.
