Though, to this day, needless battles I fight with my dad, as he "believes" he has the only true perspective. I am 35, he 55. He is shallow. I am too deep for him and rejects and corrects me. My abstract ways are never enough. I know truth, while he knows the pain of his past and burried my childhood with it. He continues to spew nonsense to validate his point in double speak. I wish better for him, but, he summons the dumb. |

But an angel of the Lord revealed to Joseph that Mary’s conception was miraculous and that the virgin would bring forth a son (Matthew 1:23). He was instructed to name the child Jesus, “For it is he that shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). We would expect, therefore, that while the Son of God was on earth, he taught much regarding sin. Indeed he did, and we would profit from a humble reflection on some of the sayings of Jesus about sin. Some of the Lord’s remarks about sin have been misapplied. For example, when a woman was taken in the act of adultery, she was brought to Jesus for judgment. He dispersed the multitude by stating, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her” (John 8:7). The verse is loved by many who hope that its recitation, at just the right moment, will inoculate them against “judging.” Note the following: First, Christians should judge one another (1 Corinthians 5:12-13; John 7:24). Second, the Lord did not condone this woman’s sin. He commanded her to “go thy way; from henceforth sin no more” (John 8:11). Third, Jesus revealed the hypocrisy of the accusers who were more interested in ensnaring the Lord than preserving holiness in their community (cf. Mark 7:1-13). And where was the man who also was caught in “the act of adultery” (cf. Leviticus 20:10)? Fourth, Jesus respected the Mosaic law that prohibited adultery and the punishment that the law prescribed. He also regarded the laws of accusation and testimony, which may not have been satisfied in this case. Fifth, the Son of God had the right to forgive sins (cf. Mark 2:10). The response to this situation by Jesus, the Son of God, was not designed to insulate wicked and impenitent individuals from rebuke or discipline in the Christian Age. Some of the sayings on sin by Jesus are perplexing. He said on one occasion, “If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin” (John 15:22). Did Jesus mean that the jewish people would not have been in sin had he not come? Would they have been better off had he not come? The Lord was not saying that the jewish people were, before his coming, absolutely sinless. They did have other sins in their life. But when he came, taught, and performed his works, they had a choice. And they chose to sin by rejecting him. The point of Jesus is this: their rejection was in the face of indisputable evidence. With the great opportunity of witnessing the incarnation of the Son of God came great responsibility. The stubborn jewish people rejected their Messiah and were held accountable for it by God (cf. Matthew 22:5-7). Other sayings of Jesus teach us regarding the nature of sin itself. Sin is a master to whom we become enslaved (John 8:34). Only the truth will set us free (John 8:32). Sin is blinding (John 9:39-41). The conscience’s reprimands are harder to hear the more we pursue sin (cf. Hebrews 3:12-13). Positive influences and opportunities are removed when we disregard the longsuffering and goodness of God (cf. Luke 8:12; Romans 1:20,21,24,26,28; 2:4-5). Only humble submission and sincere obedience to Jesus Christ will remedy our spiritual blindness. Some of the sayings on sin revealed the very purpose for his coming. The Lord said to the paralyzed man, “Thy sins are forgiven” (Luke 5:20). Subsequently, Jesus healed him to prove his divine right to forgive sins. Similarly, he instructed Simon the Pharisee when he said, “Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven [Grk., perfect tense; i.e., were forgiven and remain forgiven]” (Luke 7:47-48). When the Lord was criticized for eating with sinners, he revealed the purpose of his coming by responding, “They that are in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick. I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:31-32). He taught the nature of his coming in parables as well. Remember the “lost” chapter of the Bible, Luke 15, wherein the Lord taught the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost boys? Similarly, when the Lord requested the hospitality of Zacchaeus, he said, “For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). One of the most memorable sayings of Jesus on sin is found in Matthew 26:28. It reminds us of the purpose for which Christ left heaven and took on flesh. Jesus said, “For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto the remission of sins.” This ought to enlighten us regarding what Jesus taught about sin. Sin is so horrible that only the spotless blood of Jesus can atone for it. His love for the sinner is so deep, he was willing to pour it out. Thanks be to our Lord for teaching us the truth about sin and providing the ransom. Related Articles[object Object] |

Let the minds that seek freedom, truth and adventure be without the restraint of judgement like yours. And if you feel that evil and sorcery is at the foundation of such thought, then you should pray it does not cause you or anyone you love harm. That is all leave the judging to our eternal father. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 15010228 France 05/18/2012 11:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Every action, no matter how big or small it is, affects the entire universe in some way. As the old adage goes, if you do not learn from your mistakes, you are bound to repeat them. However, even if you do learn from them, there is a high probability that you will make that same mistake again somewhere along the road of time. And even if you do not learn from your mistakes, you will be affected all the same by them. However, your mistake is only seen as such when taken on a personal level. Whatever wrong you did actually was just the universe working through you to balance itself out. Free will and choice exist, but only if you are willing to take the steps necessary and prepare for the results of what you choose to do. Fate/Destiny are an enigma. They exist, but they only guide. They can be changed, but never broken or removed from the equation. For some, a collective consciousness is the true way. For others, individualism. Unity should not be forced or expected by those who desire it, nor should those who wish everyone to remain separate disparage those who wish to assimilate into a larger whole. Sometimes, chaos must occur for the universe to realign itself with the perfect balance. If something or someone demands/forces your worship/allegiance, and/or threatens you for not doing so, then that someone or something is not worthy to be followed. Sometimes you must go in to break out. |

I'm waiting for the May 20th (tomorrow) to see if there's a great Earthquake like Nostradamus predicts. “One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.” |

Balthuuu User ID: 14434601 Finland 05/19/2012 11:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I agree and resonate with most of what you said. Love is not the game, life is. - When we wake up in this "reality" every morning, we are actually falling asleep, because only in our dreams we are truly awake. - We are not our body, nor our mind. We are not the voice in our body, nor our head. We are the the here and now, experiencing without any input from either of the mentioned above. - It's not about others forgiving you, but whether you can forgive yourself. - It doesn't take much energy to make the wrong decision. But to make the right one, you have to put every fiber of your being to it. - I know i have a lot to work on. But knowing that there's no hairy ass man in the clouds to judge me when I have little bit of fun on the expense of someone elses ignorance, makes life a whole lot easier. |

Where ego is present love is not there. LOve is not battling. Love is all accepting. Love does not judge. THe ego or the mind does. THe deep you think you are is just a thought in the mind. The mind labels as you are doing. The mind is not in life. IN life there are no labels , only in the mind. |
