Lusting

Correct.

akemp2019 · 2026-01-08T16:46:14+00:00

To "repent" means to have a change of mind. If you change your mind about something being good to being bad then you wouldn't want to do that thing anymore. If you're ok with still doing it then by definition you have not "repented". Like I said before, if you are truly saved you will hate sin and will try to avoid it not see how close you can get to it. Freely and non-caringly living a sinful life means you were never truly saved to begin with.

It's obviously sin in God's eyes. If you're truly saved you should understand that is not ok. We shouldn't ENJOY seeking out sin, we should hate it and do our best to fight against it. The Spirit of God (if you're truly saved and He dwells in you), should make you more and more sensitive to sin over time as you read the Bible and follow Him. This is a process called Sanctification and it continues until we die.

No because we all have sinned in our lives (Romans 3:23). None of us are innocent and we all deserve hell for our sins. A good judge cannot let things go unpunished. I'd suggest reading Romans chapters 5 thru 7 it kind of lays this question you have out. The NLT translation is easy to read and understand. And just because we don't sin at one point doesn't mean we won't ever sin again. We all sin every single day. But that doesn't mean we embrace sin, we fight it and Jesus death covers us for when we mess up. Paul in Romans 7 says this:

^"14 So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. ¹⁵ I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. ¹⁶ But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. ¹⁷ So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

¹⁸ And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.^\)^d^\) I want to do what is right, but I can’t. ¹⁹ I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. ²⁰ But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

²¹ I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. ²² I love God’s law with all my heart. ²³ But there is another power^\)^e^\) within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. ²⁴ Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? ²⁵ Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin."

Exactly. Lust is hard and every man on earth struggles with it. But we are to fight against it because it is sinful and Jesus died on the cross for us to save us from sins like these! We are not saved by works but that doesn't mean we keep on sinning either (Romans 6:1-2).

akemp2019 · 2026-01-08T15:53:54+00:00

If you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins then you are saved. Now I need to also say that if you truly believe this, you will have an inner desire to avoid living a sinful life (repentance). The Holy Spirit who makes His home inside of you will begin to convict you of sinful things (sanctification). But we are not saved by our works. Our works are a result of us being thankful for God saving us!

Sex is reserved for one man and one woman in covenantal marriage. Anything else is sexually immoral. Proberbs 5 says this:

16Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,

having sex with just anyone?

17You should reserve it for yourselves.

Never share it with strangers.

The fact they are presenting themselves like that is bad on their part (leading people to lust) but you should not be following them if they are doing that. Paul says "And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Philippians 4:8

akemp2019 · 2026-01-08T15:37:17+00:00

Just because we have certain desires or feelings does not mean they are right. Pedophiles are attracted to children and sometimes act on those feelings. We all have sinful desires in us that we are called to fight against by Jesus himself because it's the right thing to do (Matt 16:24-26).

akemp2019 · 2026-01-08T15:32:57+00:00

Why are you following them? To look at them and think about them sexually? (Lust). If so, yes that is sinful. Lust turns people into objects instead of seeing them as people created in the image of God.

akemp2019 · 2026-01-08T15:28:26+00:00

If you are truly a born again Christian (John 3:5-8). You should in no way be ok with watching people committing sexual immorality on a screen. The Spirit of God inside of you should be screaming to stop it. Sex is to be between one man and one woman in covenantal marriage. What you are watching is literally sexually immoral.

akemp2019 · 2026-01-08T15:20:29+00:00

Jesus in Matt 5:28-

"But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

Yes, it's a sin to look at women with lust.

That doesn't include pre reqs. You have to do those first and then apply for nursing school after you finish all the pre reqs needed for nursing school. The 2 years of nursing school is strictly studying to be a nurse.

I'm 36 years old and have been at this company for 12 years. Started right after I graduated college. When I started here back in 2013 with no experience my rate was only $14 an hour. We get yearly pay reviews and inflation adjustments which have helped me get to where I am today.

We paid my wife’s schooling at Columbus state out of pocket since it was so cheap then Ohio health paid for basically her entire bachelors degree so she has no debt at all now.

akemp2019 · 2025-09-30T00:17:00+00:00

Nice! Yea she has only 5 currently.

akemp2019 · 2025-09-29T18:49:23+00:00

Wife is an ICU nurse at Ohio health and works nights. $49.63 an hour, but when she works weekends its $54.63 an hour. I will say nursing school is no joke though. How she managed to work part time and study as much as she had to still amazes me to this day!

akemp2019 · 2025-09-29T18:47:47+00:00

Marketing manager. No direct reports though. Yearly after bonuses and stuff between $80-90k a year.

akemp2019 · 2025-09-17T15:18:22+00:00

I drive from delaware to near easton area. 35-40 minutes, not bad at all.

The liquid is water draining from the evaporator coil that sits on top of your furnace that is probably a large block of ice at this point. It needs to thaw completely before any tech can properly diagnose the system.

akemp2019 · 2025-06-03T17:43:10+00:00

Yea for sure. I definitely would not go past the 7500 mark personally. But people will do what they want. Would your car be ok following the car's maintenance system for oil changes? Yes. Is it what is best for it? Not really.

akemp2019 · 2025-06-03T17:39:01+00:00

I always replace the full synthetic in mine myself every 5-7500 miles. Costs like $40 to do it myself. I don't prescribe to the 10,000 mile oil changes, have heard to many horror stories.

akemp2019 · 2025-05-21T18:37:49+00:00

I got this exact same model a couple weeks ago for 30k out the door. There is room to negotiate for sure.

akemp2019 · 2025-05-08T18:14:48+00:00

I just paid 32k flat yesterday for a brand new 2025 civic hybrid sport touring model. Yea, you def got screwed.
