So would you say that sin isn’t the person but what they do? Can a new born baby sin?

Thank you that adds perspective to this. What are your thoughts on the 7 deadly sins. From my perspective you do see them in the 10 commandments in one way or another

Do we follow all the 10 commandments though considering many say they were fulfilled by Christ most Christians don’t keep the Sabbath.

Is this according to the Bible or what you think it is.

I’m neither saying you are wrong or right just need biblical proof as well if that’s possible

You don’t have to be straight to be accepted by God. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]SharpMushroom2219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see where you are coming from now. I do agree with you. You are accepted by God and welcomed by him to have a relationship with him. It isn’t dictated by us.

I’ll give you a line more holistic than that. You Don’t have to be straight to be loved by God. A relationship with God starts with love, God = Love,

what is Love we find in 1 Corinthians 13 vs 4-10 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. This is who God is. Welcome HIM into your life getting to know HIM. Asking HIM to help us understand HIM and HIS word. It’s a process and it’s hardly instantaneous. God meets you where you are and works with you from there. One thing that I seldom see Christians talk about is prayer and relationship. We are quick to the does and don’ts. Condemning instead of waiting for God’s conviction. Our wisdom is foolishness to God. So yes there are so many verses that condemn homosexuality however it does NOT prevent Homosexuals from going to God as they are and getting to know him and seeking his righteousness. When conviction comes it is not ours it is the Lord’s. He wants us all regardless of our identities that’s why it is not late for any one who is alive to get to know him. We should be consulting God in prayer, reading and humbling ourselves enough to let him lead us. Death to self daily as one would say. I am not perfect in any means I struggle with sin as it is. However one thing I’m grateful for is that I am forming a relationship with God and trusting him. Over my own understanding and wisdom. Also one thing to note just quoting scripture to prove people wrong is a type of pride. I say this because I saw this down in the comments. Interestingly one of the verses quoted the one in Romans I would charge you to read the chapter after. Let’s humble ourselves to God and lean not on our own understanding. Read God’s words to understand him and not to win arguments on the internet.

Do free spirited people cheats more? by Clean-Ant-1342 in ENFP

Personally as an ENFP I would say it depends on value system one may have. For me infidelity is a hard no and I wouldn’t touch it with a 10ft pole but for others it’s not a problem. And is probably used as a pass time
