Hehehe you are not the first to think thatd0c markus said:For a long time now i have been wondering who that dude depicted on your avatar is. I always thought it was you until I saw your picture in OBOB.
I know dude thats why itd be sweet!ps139 said:Well, its not my forum, and I clearly understand the rules that I cannot debate, hey it might be fun for you guys, you can refute me all you want and I can't answer back!.
In my opinion he should lose the hat, but other than that i think you've got a good inspiration.Hehehe you are not the first to think that. It is Saint John Bosco. He lived in Italy in the 19th century and dedicated his life to bringing the Gospel to the young and the poor. He is an inspiration to me.
I am interpreting that verse as we are not BOUND by sin (and he cannot sin, because he is born of God)bleechers: "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin" but they almost always leave off the rest of that verse: "for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
"i do not say that he shall pray for it" - he should not pray for death? I'm a little confused by that verse, so if you could just tell me what he's not praying for...?? I'm not clear on it!!1 John 5:16-1716 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
Yea, our God is a very gracious God. He garuntees us in writing that if we confess our sins then he is merciful and just to forgive us. If you have a consistent prayer life then repentance will also be consistent. In those moments I find thats when God shows/rebukes me what Im doing wrong and how to correct myself. Its bittersweet, i love confession and i hate it.meg324 said:But, in short, we CAN still be a christian if we are sinning - as long as we feel bad about it? Even if you sin for a long period of time - maybe when you've strayed?? We are just not bound by that sin, correct?
If anyone wants to correct me, feel free!!
I'm just trying to understand
Joshua Howard said:Speaking of general sin, regardless if it be murder and rape, or an unkind remark - Regardless of the seeming magnitude of any given sin, all sin is:
1. Worthy of death
2. Covered by the blood of Jesus
In the eyes of God, sin is sin, and all those who are bound to even a small sin are bound to the entire host of them.
I'd still like to study this as i feel its being sorely neglected in here. For instance it seems that the sin that leads to death is singlular, IE maybe its referencing blasphemy of the Holy Spirit....1 JN 5:16 If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
I didnt see this before:bleechers said:Ummm.... could you guys either take this private or to OBOB or a theology room? I don't want this thread to decay into a debate on venial sins... which will necessiate a futhrer decay into Purgatory... Indulgences... Veneration of "Saints"... Treasury of Merit... Trent... Antahemas... and other things best suited for other threads.
My fear is that if a doctrine is refuted here and quotes are required, it may be against the forum rules.
Just a suggestion before any rules are violated.
Guys, I don't want to step any toes so if you want, work this out amongst yourselves. I dont want to act against someones wishes here. Doc if further discussion of this from me isnt welcome here, let me know we can continue this via PM.d0c markus said:In essence this thread is about venial/mortal sins already because thats what the thread is called "is any sin greater than another?" If thats not venial/mortal sins under the guise of another name I dont know what is.
We should not be afraid to discuss this theology amongst ourselves as we should learn, and edify one another.
Pass it my way Id like to hear what you got to say on this issue - i most likely wont debate you on it but it'd be good stuff to know.ps139 said:Guys, I don't want to step any toes so if you want, work this out amongst yourselves.
