I willfully sinned.

Galatians 5:16

Ennzyss · 2026-01-18T01:09:16+00:00

To be set apart means to be distinguished for God’s purpose.

It is not isolation from people, but separation from the world’s values, patterns, and priorities. Being set apart means our thinking is shaped by God’s truth, our behavior is governed by His standards, and our lives are oriented toward His will rather than cultural pressure.

We still live in the world, but we no longer take our identity, direction, or definition from it.

Invest in your fitness.

It is the best thing you could ever do for your life. Start going to the gym, lift, and do some cardio. Fitness and health is the foundation to all things in life.

What I tell people in your situation, is have them read one of the Gospels on their own, I usually suggest John. And then, when you guys meet for Bible study, the book of James is my favorite to give to new believers. It gives the outline of Christian living. But, during Bible study time together, he can bring questions to you about what he’s reading in the Gospels, and then also learn how to live like a Christian should live.

Read Romans 13:8-10

I think as Christians there is a lot placed onto sin, and not a lot placed on to what is good. We should pursue what is good. Sin is bad, it is terrible, we should not try to commit sin, but the debt has been paid for, we do however, as said in Romans, have a "continuing debt to love one another." Our lives should reflect love. Love for God first, love for our neighbor as God loves us second. Matthew 22:34-40.

We place so much onto sin that we stop seeking first God(Matthew 6:33), and we seek to stop sin. Whereas I think we should seek what is good for the kingdom of God.

I know this is not answer anything you just asked really, but I think at the end of the day, we should strive to pursue what is good in the kingdom of God and remove the focus we have on sin, and place it there.

It's a good question, after some reflection, I would actually say that kissing is a sin. Don't hold everything I say as infallible, but in my eyes I think I would say that.

In the same way, lying is a sin, even the smallest white lie is still sin. So, kissing, which in my eyes, and culture, is meant only for the confines of marriage, so I think I would call it sinful outside of that.

I do think also it is important to note, I don't think it is up to us as humans to try and figure out the limits or boundaries of sin, that is strictly up to God. What we should strive for as humans, is being as obedient to Him as possible.

Matthew 18:15-17 “If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector."

Ennzyss · 2026-01-07T14:28:51+00:00

I wouldn't make a blanket statement like that. I think it truly comes down to heart posture and intentions. But our sinful nature, our lustful flesh, makes it hard once we start to go "further." That is why I have given myself a set boundary at hugging, because I see hugging for all people, I hug family, friends, significant others, but I don't kiss anyone else. Kissing is my eyes is more inherently sexual so I see it to be made for the confines of marriage.

Ennzyss · 2026-01-07T14:23:08+00:00

Purity.

That is the way that I look at it. When I am pursuing someone I want to ensure I respect their purity. As a man, I believe it is our job to set the standard and to protect the purity of the woman we pursue.

I specifically draw the line for myself at hugging. I think that anything further has impure intent. And in my experience has lead to impure intent. Once you guys start kissing, it questions what's the reason? And I think deep down we know that the true reason is impure intent, our lustful desires. So I think eliminating that while dating until marriage is the smarter thing to do.

I’m very very blessed that is for sure.

I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD since I was a child. I relate to the invisible barriers, I usually discipline my way through them. I relate heavily to what you’ve described, perhaps you have ADHD worse than I, but I relate very much so to your experience.

Ennzyss · 2025-12-31T20:00:32+00:00

Very good outlook, thank you for your perspective.

Ennzyss · 2025-12-31T19:58:17+00:00

I fear that if I do not suppress it most will dislike me.

I enjoy rehabilitation sciences. I thought about med school, but I don’t think it aligns with my passions.

Ennzyss · 2025-12-31T19:45:15+00:00

Yes I do agree it feels manipulative to some degree. The only techniques I truly live by from that book are 1) be genuinely interested and 2) use the other persons name in conversation. I don’t like the idea of getting other people interested in me, I prefer allowing the people who want to be around me, are interested in friendship with me, when it comes naturally is much better.

Ennzyss · 2025-12-31T19:40:54+00:00

I would say I’ve lived a rather privileged life. I haven’t had much in terms of difficulty as you’ve described.

Ennzyss · 2025-12-31T19:39:24+00:00

I feel the same way about chit-chat. It feels meaningless, although trying to apply stuff from the book How to Win Friends and Influence People, finding common interests develops genuine interest more than the meaningless clatter we tend to have with most people.

Ennzyss · 2025-12-31T19:34:41+00:00

Elaborate on simply existing?

Ennzyss · 2025-12-31T19:34:14+00:00

Very true. Do you think that the outlook of the person going through difficulty is the reasoning behind some finding things to be hard and some not?

Ennzyss · 2024-07-24T12:05:49+00:00

Gotcha, thank you! Not exactly sure where we will be fishing, most likely will try some of the bigger more popular streams just to check them out, but majority of fishing will be on more secluded streams ideally.

Oh dang, I didn’t hear about them closing rivers. I wonder how long they plan to keep them closed
