The sins of others

[Lenno]

Anyone ever look at another Christian and think “what are his/her sins then?”

Im new to Christ (24 days) and this seems an unproductive way of thinking.

It is unproductive. The more time we spend wondering how dirty another is, the less time we can spend cleaning ourselves.....in the end we would be the dirtiest of them all.

It's human to be curious about others and their pasts. I would not worry too much about the questions that come to your mind.

Plus, there are plenty of Christian who share about their sins and weaknesses as part of their testimony or for reaching out for help and to be able to relate to others.

"No one ever got better by confessing the sins of others"

 

[GreekOrthodox]

Once the Fathers of the Scetis were holding a council to reprimand a monk who had committed a fault. St. Moses was invited, but he refused to attend. The priest went to him, and said, Come, for the people are expecting you. St. Moses arose, took a basket filled with sand that had a hole in the bottom of it, carried it on his shoulder and started walking towards the council. When the monks saw him coming with the bag of sand, with sand pouring out of the hole, they asked him the reason of his behavior. He said to them, The sand you see running from the bag represents my sins which are always following me, and yet, today I am coming to judge the errors of my brother. When they heard this, they left the council and every monk went to his own cell, as none could judge that monk.

To reply just to what you asked.. I try to remember and I can't.. I'm sure I must have but can't remember. Trying to always remember He died for my sins forgave my sins so maybe I need to do the same.

Lots of Christians look at other Christians in an unchristian manner many many times.

When you become a Christian, you will in most circumstances, develop the fruits of the spirit over time, I have yet to meet a Christian that changes in an instant.

On your journey as a Christian you will struggle at times with sin but as time passes you should be seeing little changes in your Christian walk regarding the fruits of the spirit, in your everyday life. Some see larger changes than others but some have a a greater distance to travel.

Sometimes on my journey I have made much more progress than at other times, sometimes it seems as if I am stagnant and not making any progress.

The Christian life is not an easy one in my opinion because we are always fighting against our flesh but it does seem to get easier at times the more you overcome some of your weaknesses.

May be it"s just me as I have had many weaknesses to overcome, at one time being very attached to a broken world full of sin. It has been a hard fought lonely path and still is at times. The strange thing is, the hardest part of my walk has been Christians, who embrace almost everything the world has to offer and refuse to walk and be lead by the Holy Spirit and are against those who do and try.

If it was not for GOD and Christ giving me strength to endure, I would have be left in darkness for evermore along time ago.

May GOD continue to light my path in dark times, along with yours and all those who truly seek HIM.

Peace be to all those in the Body of Christ.
