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

[alien amp pharm]

Ranger:
Going to Heaven or Hell isn't dependent upon the good or bad a person does. Heard the saying "how do I know when I've been good enough (to make it into heaven).

A sin is wrong in the Lord's eyes. Wether it be killing five kids or telling a little white lie about a dress. EVERYONE SINS! We shouldn't judge others for their shortcomings (like killing 5 kids). If she is truly repentive/sorry and asks for forgiveness for the killings PLUS it is honestly in her heart to ask for forgiveness then yes, she will be forgiven. Just as you will if you ask forgiveness for your sins and work on bettering them/stopping.

Now, don't you think the woman that intentionally killed her kids will face great consequences....lost her freedom, living with the quilt (if she is ever truly regretful), lost any chance of a normal life, etc, etc.......
I don't think too great of consequences would come from you telling your wife the little white lie.

I think there is plenty of difference between stealing a candy bar and murdering someone.

I tend to agree Dr. M....Just curious as to what everyone else thinks...I know, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God....Just wondering if God has any Human instincts/qualities as he made us in his form...???

Another thought to ponder....Is a white lie a sin, if done without malice or personal gain..??

Is a white lie a sin if it is done for personal gain or favor....????

Ranger

Thou shall not lie. Thou shall not kill.
Both of theses are under the same thing, the 10 commandments. Now God didn't say 'thou shall not lie, but if you think it's for a good reason then go ahead....'

That's like a man sleeping with another man's wife, then saying "but her husband is a jerk to her" and thinks it's justified and alright to keep doing.

sorry, I don't believe that making love to someone before you are married is as bad as murdering 50 people. Just my view though

 

[The Ranger]

I agree my man, but...a small white lie is the same sin as comitting adultery....one is done without malice, and more along the lines of love, the other is done out of pure lust....

We all come up short, because we are human. I have sinned plenty, and for that I am humble because I am far from perfect.

Sin, morality... right or wrong.

The universe is energy. Whatever energy you send out will be returned to you threefold.

If a lie is told and YOU KNOW it is a lie, right or wrong regardless of WHY it was told... it was a lie nonetheless.

Now one could say the same thing about murder. If I killed a man that I thought was going to kill/harm my child would the energy that I sent out be construed as negative or positive? A murder is STILL MURDER.... is it not?

But I did it to protect someone so then IT MUST BE RIGHT!

RIGHT?!

Life isn't always so cut and dry.... now IS IT?

For me is it about doing my best. If in the process of doing what I THOUGHT to be right, I find out that I FUCKED UP... then I sit and think about it, learn the lesson and

DO MY DAMNEDEST TO FIX WHATEVER IT IS THAT I FUCKED UP.

These are the standards that I live by because I know that I am human and regardless of how I try there are MANY TIMES that I make mistakes.

Sin, right, wrong, morality.... to ponder such things I think is expending precious energy in a frivolous fashion.

OK...I can buy this....so, killing someone in a war is OK, but in the street is murder...???

I never said that...

What I said was that it is all in YOUR PRECEPTION of YOUR BEHAVIOR as YOU WILL HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO LIVE WITH YOUR ACTIONS.

For example...

I read on another thread that a policeman took his own life after he learend that a bank robbery that he couldn't prevent (or something to that effect) resulted in the deaths of several others. The man left behind a wife and several children.

So now, SHE and HER CHILDREN will have to suffer for the rest of THIER LIVES because HE HAD ISSUE WITH HIS BEHAVIOR. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH "RIGHT" OR 'WRONG".... but about HOW HE DEALT WITH IT IN HIS HEAD.

Again...
