uruviel Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 me either!! Other than the fact that 'getting away' has nothing to do with God, there is NO getting away with anything, it's not like he looks away for an instant, I think it's unhealthy to fantasize about getting away with a sin. Not saying any of y'all are doing that, but still..
LouisvilleFan Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 [quote name='heavenseeker' post='1051888' date='Aug 27 2006, 11:42 PM'] i still dont see why anyone would want to get away with a sin [/quote] For one thing, I am aware that it's an unrealistic scenario in the sense that I know the long-term consequences of sin are not worth the satisfaction we get from it, but on the other hand I'm not going to lie and say I've never thought about what it would be like if I could get away with a one night stand or something Has everyone not thought this at one time or another? I'm not saying it's right... I'm just being honest. In fact, it's definitely not right. On the other hand, maybe the point I made earlier didn't hit home with others like it did with me when I thought of it, but every Christian gets away with all the deadly sins. That's grace; without it, we're all dead.
uruviel Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I just don't like the terms your useing. Gets away with. That implies to me, the person is like worming their way out, they are GETTING AWAY with a sin, unoticed. What happens is we sin, and we are forgiven through confession. We are not getting away with anything.
heavenseeker Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 thats the same way i view it, we go to confession to be forgiven for our sins. we dont get away with any of them, its not Gods going to look away and miss something that we do or give us a freebe.
uruviel Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 yeah, He looks away from us and we do something bad. He just misses it. Thats funny. That made me laugh.
LouisvilleFan Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 I see what you mean. I was thinking of "getting away" with sin more in that we don't receive the judgement we deserve.
uruviel Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 God, with His mercy, always rewards the good with more than they deserve, and punishes the bad with less than they deserve.
uruviel Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 I don't know if there is a worse sin. I don't know if there is a lesser of a sin. All sin is evil, the only comparison is mortal and venial.
xTrishaxLynnx Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 As long as we don't start fantasizing about sins not being sins, this thread is not all that bad. It can serve as a reminder to do an Examination of Conscience.
brandelynmarie Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I think the point is that we all sin..we all have our favorite ones that we gravitate to & need to eliminate from our lives!
uruviel Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) [i]favorite[/i]? We shouldn't have any favorites when it comes to sin, we should hate, and dispise all evil. I dare say it would be 100% impossible to eliminate all sin from our daliy lives without grace and the help of God. We are going to fall, but our imperfections through confession are turned into acts of humility and the opposite virtue. It's almost impossible to NOT sin, of course everything is possible with God, take Mother Mary for an example. But saying that doesn't mean we should lay back and say, hey I can't resist it, why not give into it? It's a daily battle, yet Jesus is walking with us the whole way, helping us get through the temptations, and picking us back up when we fall. Ah...anyways....... back on topic Edited September 10, 2006 by uruviel
brandelynmarie Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 what I meant by "favorite" is the one sin that we fail in overcoming most often...The one sin that we struggle with over & over & over....Not that we LOVE to sin...hope this clarifies! (BTW...I do agree with what you've written!)
uruviel Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 ok sorry for the confusion! Your right then, we should work very hard with God with eliminating that sin that we struggle with the most!
brandelynmarie Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 thank you uruviel for being so understanding!
iggyjoan Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) hmmm well i put pride because i don't think it should be exactly THAT BAD to be proud of yourself. Edited June 18, 2007 by iggyjoan

dairygirl4u2c Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 how do these old polls just pop up out of no where as they often do?
iggyjoan Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 [quote name='dairygirl4u2c' post='1297817' date='Jun 18 2007, 03:23 PM']how do these old polls just pop up out of no where as they often do?[/quote] ppl like me who have nothing to do just look through and through the pages and click on random ones, read a few pages/posts, depending on how interesting it is and then post, thus bringing up lost topics.
Anthony Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 [quote name='dairygirl4u2c' post='989029' date='May 23 2006, 10:21 PM']..[/quote] How is it possible to get away with any sin. God knows all and sees all. I don't want to get away with any sin and this poll is rediculously stupid.
