Is it a sin to daydream?

[powermadd400ex]

only if it's distracting you from something important like church etc. could it MAYBE be.

Thinking about, "Does he like me?" "What will my wedding be like?" "My house?"
Are all fine and dandy, but fantasising about doing things is a sin...it is not keeping thoughts pure.

As long as you're not like lusting or anything, or like day dreaming about something that involves sin, I think you're fine.

I wouldn't think so unless it was like lustful thinking, but then again I'm sure God understands how the Devil tries to make things like thoughts appear in our minds... So I wouldn't worry about your thoughts but more so your actions.

As long as your daydreams don't cause you to sin, they're fine to have. Just keep your daydreams like what God would be fine with. Just always ask yourself this: Is this fine to you, is this fine to your parents, is this fine with God, and will I sin by doing this. Hope this helps.

Jesus said, if you sin with your hand then you should cut it of than go in sin, and some other stuff he said, he also said that you can make a sin with your mind, but clearly we are not able to not commit a sin. That is why The Savior Jesus came to save us.

Every have made a sin and will do it. (Except Mr Jesus then)
Ask for forgiveness and you shall be forgiven, There is not our duty to judge who is living in sin or what is sin. Jesus says(john8:15) "You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one."
So, Ask for forgiveness if you are think that you committed a sin, Cuz it is not our duty to judge,

(now i'm not saying that you can skip what Jesus said, you value what Jesus said and think about it clearly. Jesus was wise, but never clear on the answer.)

I only partly agree with this. Sure God will forgive anything, but thoughts can be just as sinfull as actions. Jesus understands, but He won't allow the Devil to tempt us beond what we are able.
Whatever anyone is thinking, if they are embracing the thought of making love to someone, before they're married to that person, I would consider that wrong.

On the other hand, it's true that thoughts and images do come to mind by the Devil sometimes. You just need to resist them, and try thinking about something else.

Yeah I agree with you. A hand could be a daydream, so cut it off from you if they are bad.:o

I know that this is a 'Christians only' section but....

How could you even begin to imagine that something as basic as daydreaming is a sin?! Even the idea that thought could be seen as 'evil' is absurd and dangerous. From daydreams come goals and ambitions and from goals and ambitions come progress! How could the first step of moving forward as an individual and as a society be off-limits? I can see why a church would want to stop certain behaviors and actions, such as deceit and murder, but to limit one's thought process and imagination, even in the slightest, is wrong! You just can't tell people what they can and can't think! Without free thought what are we?

Okay sorry for the lengthy response lol but I hope that helped somewhat to understand that It's ok

Jesus said for us to not have evil thoughts, so we should follow what Jesus says

 

[ListenToLogic]

Jesus said for us to not have evil thoughts, so we should foll what Jesus says

If we can agree that the definiton of evil is to cause harm or discomfort to another, then in reality there are no good or evil thoughts. All thoughts are neutral because they can not cause another person harm. Only actions can cause harm. So therefore we still have the right to freedom of thought.
(Oh, by the way you forgot the 'o' and 'w' on 'follow'.)
