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

[The Ranger]

Good answer Temp.....So, I gather that God is understanding and looks not only at the sin, but what was in the heart at the time the sin was comitted....????

And no, I am not high, but I was last night when I thought of this question....heh heh heh, and also noticed that though I am right handed, I eat pizza with my left hand.....Go figure....

I can't profess to having read the bible in any great depth, but common sense would suggest to me that being good to your fellow man would just about cover everything. Being good to your fellow man to me suggests that there are no 'degrees' of sin, that the bible doesn't distinguish between sins because it assumes that if we live by the word of the bible, that we do good unto each other anyway.

It is simply the law which has defined degree's of sin by apportioning different grades of punishment to different crimes. This then is filtered down and reflected by society in how we view and treat different sins, be it stealing, rape, murder, fraud, lying etc.

LOL you would be getting better answers out of me if I were high.
Yes, I believe he looks at that but and here is what most of us have trouble wrapping our brains around... He views it thru the eyes of an eternal being and views us in terms of our being eternal beings. Even our worst sin when viewed in the context of our eternal exisitence seems not to carry the same importance as it does when viewed in terms of a brief lifetime. IMO that is the answer to the question "How can a loving God allow bad things to happen". Anything that happens here is fleeting in terms of forever.

AHHHHHHHHHHMEN SISTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.


...just my .02

Let he who hath not sinned cast the first stone, or something like that anyway.

IMO all sin is the same except for suicide.
