WAKE UP MR. HAVOC. TIME FOR CLASS.
Per the request regarding opinions on the commission of sin by believers.
I believe that true Christians have the power available to them to ultimately be victorious over any particular temptation to sin.1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.The question at hand is ... how faithful are we in availing ourselves of that power (i.e. finding God's way out and taking it) ?
Also, depending upon the compulsion to any particular sin ... I believe deliverance from such sin may come sooner or later. Pragmatically, I believe that the christian who is successfully dealing with their sin (through repentence and looking to the Lord for His way out) will experience a diminishing of said sin until said sin is expunged from his/her life.
That being said, I believe that a christian can, for a time, decide to leave their sin unattended to ... and so, commit such sin for an indefinite period. I also believe that God chastens His children in regard to their sin, in an effort to bring them to a point where they will deal with it.
That being said ... I wish to throw out another question. It's one that has been haunting me for a while now. I ask that those who will render an opinion.
Are there some sins that a Christian cannot commit ?
Are there some paths that are simply too dark for a Christian to set foot upon ?
I ask this as I contemplate the various child killings ... as I view yet another dramatization of a past serial killer.
Are there some sins that a Christian (being who they are) simply cannot commit ?
What do you think ?
Leave a sleeping Havoc lie. Lol
Okay, you talked me into it.
Go back to post #50,954 and start, then go to 959, 961, #51,081, o77, and 081, but don't say I didn't warn you. Lol
