[Jags]

I wasn't with the lord at that time and its been a few years since that happened

Not being with Jesus is always a sin.

Also, even for believers, whatever is not by /of / faith is sin.

The fact that this has come to mind is good reason to confess this as sin committed and say sorry to God and ask if He wants you to make restitution.

Whatever you did prior to being saved is no longer an issue with God. You are forgiven. If someone said that you could use an account, I don't believe it is a sin. So if you decided to do the same thing now, it is probably not sinful. However, we need to be absolutely sure that it is ok by God. Check your conscience and go with what it says.

hopefully you have repented and moved on from these things.

Stealing is a sin.

If something is offered to you by the owner it is not a sin to take/use it.

When I came back to the Lord, I returned items stolen and this was a testimony He used.

I can't really return the account since i have no contact with the Owner.

I would make a donation to a Church or a Christian charity, then, maybe adding in some "interest."

Don't really have money right now and but i will be sure to give a few dollars every time i go to church.

Yes i have moved on from stealing, Exploiting in games and much more bad things i done that were sins and hopefully the lord can help me stop with any other sins.

If this is a sin, I can't figure out how the victim is harmed by it. Reputation? Privacy? It all goes back to "Love your neighbor."

Sin is not defined by harm to others.

Covetousness is a good example.

 

[usexpat97]

It all goes back to "Love your neighbor." That is Scriptural.

 

[Carl Emerson]

Then why did Jesus teach that just thinking lustful thoughts was a sin?

Matt 5
27 You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

So porn for example has no bearing on loving your neighbour.

However if you include loving God with loving your neighbour, the bases are covered.

Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. Ephesians 4:28

I suppose not--if you ignore your own spouse living in your own house.
