Presumptuous Sin

[EscondidoSurfer]

"Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me!” (Psalms 19:13)

If you as a believer know what you need to do to overcome lust but then do the opposite, you are acting in willful disobedience. This is presumptuous and arrogant sinning and it comes with a price.

As David understood fully, by arrogantly and selfishly entering into sin, you are allowing sin to gain dominion over you. You become an “addict” to a life-dominating sin—a slave with no way out.

Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology Of The Body October 1, 2006 by John Paul II (Author)

“By Pope John Paul II Translated and introduced by Michael M. Waldstein In this new critical translation of Pope John Paul II’s magnum opus, internationally renowned biblical scholar Michael Waldstein presents John Paul II’s magnificent vision of the human person with meticulous scholarship and profound insight. This is the classic compilation of texts which outline the Thoelogy of the Body of Pope John Paul II. In this vision, John Paul II presents a catechesis centered on the human person, understood within the mystery of Christ. Going back to the biblical “beginning” as recorded in Genesis, the pope discusses the bodily dimension of human personhood, sexuality, and marriage and celibacy in the light of biblical revelation.”
