A Question on "Sin"...???

[bigguns7]

Ranger, I'm not even sure the Bible says telling a lie is a sin. The commandment says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness," which has been translating into "you are a sinner if you lie."

In my interpretation, it doesn't work like that. If you say that you saw one man kill his wife, when in realit it was another man, and you knew it, you are "bearing false witness."

If you tell someone thazt you like their new chicken recipe, when in reality you hate it, you are not "bearing false witness," you are actually doing a good deed.

I believe that God looks past the black and white, and goes down to our intentions in what we do.

So you mean to tell me if I am a soldier and at the moment that I took the life of the enemy I was thinking, "Die YOU COMMIE BASTARD!" - taking the life of a father and husband who was only protecting the land that he was born on, then God would look past the fact that I just killed a scared young man who was only trying to defend his land from a foreign soldier that was only obeying HIS commanding officer who was only obeying HIS government that sent them thier to protect THIER political interest? Well, my intent WAS TO KILL HIM, so where does that leave me?

Temple....I like your answer the best so far.....

Ranger

I agree Ranger. Good answer Temp.

I dont practive religion, so for me, I guess its about being a good person. We are ALL going to sin at some point in our lives, and if you are christian, you believe that Christ already died for these sins, right? I am sure that doesnt mean that you have a free pass to sin or anything, but we are human and its going to happen.

As far as war goes, that type of killing doesnt count. Any Christian that thinks it does needs to check history, becuase if it does, most Christian leaders will be going to hell.

As far as Rangers sins go, I hearby forgive you for any and all sins of your life my friend. You are one of the best friends I have and one of the greatest humans on the planet. The good you do for other people will wash away any petty sins that you have done throughout your life.

Ranger, you are a great person, famliy man and friend. *Now get back on your knees and show me you love me*

You already know the answers, God made you in the image of him/her/it's self. You have most if the traits. You sence of logic and common sence are part of it, as is the sence if humor but that is another thread.

Awwwwwwwwww Kronk...<sniff>...<sniff>......I luv ya man.......

Heh heh heh.......

Now, If I raped a woman with full intent of asking for forgivness, and was sincere in asking, would that negate the rape...???

Ranger have you ever gotten a confirmed kill?

 

[Bikini Mod]

How could you ask such a question?

So you think that if you are sorry for something that you haven't done yet that autmotically negates your intentions?

Who could rape someone AFTER they were sorry for it BEFORE it was done?

The question itself PROVES that you are high at the moment.

Ranger

I dunno...if your son set fire to your shed with full intent of asking your forgivness and was sincere when he asked would that negate the deed??? You are still without a shed..... some deeds cannot be undone, however, truly being sorry for an action normally leads to the person giving a greater contribution to the universe than the damage that they did. I do not believe that we will be judged on individual deeds but rather the sum total of our existence. Personally I would sooner or later forgive him if he was truly sorry and learned something from what he did but I would put the whoop to his sorry little behind first.
