NGL....probably not going to happen for a least a month or two, maybe longer.
Lust, Masturbation, Swearing, Looking down upon and even hating others, Disbelief, Slothfulness, Apathy... if i were to measure my rank as a Christian upon those things, i'd fail miserably.
Probably worst for me though is lust. I just feel cold hearted when i lust after another woman when i know full well that i don't care about her, nor will i ever. I really just end up hating myself a little more each time i do this. That's not the kind of person i want to be.
and it feeeeels great!I'm as worldly as they come as well.
and it feeeeels great!
Anyway, swearing is not a sin.
Well I just remember that temptation just means tempting.Those three definitely used to be huge sins for me. I'm thankful I'm not into that anymore.
Sure, I mean I still think about it sometimes. Especially when I see a gorgeous guy that reminds me of one of my flings. But I just don't actually go to the point of pursuing it anymore. I really have no desire to.Well I just remember that temptation just means tempting.
Grant it even as I am tempted, I don't go out and test my strength, so maybe the level of it being a temptation is actually low...hmm...
I only think about it when it entails someone that is the only thing I would ever be interested in. Like a one-hit wonder type of thing.Sure, I mean I still think about it sometimes.

I totally understand what you're saying. If I have a crush on or like someone, those thoughts aren't as big of an issue. But random hot guy I'm never going to see again. Yeah, the thoughts cross through my mind. But now, I won't pursue it. I think I had enough of that craziness.I only think about it when it entails someone that is the only thing I would ever be interested in. Like a one-hit wonder type of thing.
When I'm actually interested in someone, like a let's say a crush that means I'm pursuing vs. a me just checking a girl out, I honestly don't have any struggle with the idea of just getting laid for the heck of it. Its just not on my mind. Its no temptation because its not a tempting thought.
Which in a way, makes no logical sense. I mean say I would pursue, and I would get, than the issue is theoretically more able to happen with the successful pursuit, as compared to just me doing a drive by check-out.
I guess I work in contradictions. That's probably why I've never had a one night stand.
Probably lust and pride. Desire for marriage and desire for success are all good things, but I desire them a little too much.What is the sin that currently you find yourself most tempted by, or committing most frequently? How do you avoid it? Need prayer?
Right now, and really for quite some time, I have been severely tempted by disbelief. My faith seems perpetually weak and I'm attracted to atheism like a moth to a flame. I'm not all that good at avoiding it either.
More like society is controlling me.Then it sounds like it's controlling you
as my sobriety class instructor would tell us.
