O please...writing BS and jerk is not a sin. I am certainly not a mamby pamby christian, you are correct. However, for you in project an anger onto my words is a sin itself. It is not always a sin to say a curse word. Jesus had some pretty powerful words for his day of religious hypocrites. And I have reasoned with you. You and your “ilk” are people who, in the face of the obvious, continue to excuse away sin and water down the wonderful power of the holy spirit. I wish you well, but you and your ilk are indeed a bunch of weak and watered down religious intellectuals. Sorry...you have made that apparent, not anything I have done. Go ahead and judge me wrongly, that is your right.
This is a good example of using very strong words to make his point...In Matthew 23 Jesus was pretty upset with the Pharisees and called them (publicly): fools, hypocrites (fakers), blind guides, damned, and a brood of vipers. All very strong words; however, the point was to shake the religious leaders to their spiritual blindness and error so that they would see the truth.
No malice has been meant by anything that I have written. If you have taken it that way it is a projection. Thank you.
Yes it is. Sin is missing the PERFECT mark of Christ. Sin is not just saying the wrong word...or saying a bad word. Sin is saying things out of the character and TIMING of Christ. That is the DEFINITION of sin.
I think you are confusing sin with transgression. And in that regard...I might tend to AGREE with you. You may not have transgressed (although name calling must be done RIGHTEOUSLY when judging [John 7:24]...and I am a little "iffy: that calling someone a "jerk" would be considered righteous judgment by God).
HOWEVER, You have CERTAINLY sinned. Sin is falling short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23)...and falling short of acting as Christ would act is missing the mark.
And I KNOW the New Testament. And I KNOW if Christ were he to talk to us and post on FR...He would NOT post as you have posted...talk as you have talked. I also know YOU would not talk like that around Him.
So...while you may not have transgressed...you did not bring exact Glory to God and were not PERFECT in your response. THAT is SIN.
You need to learn the definitions. And the bottom line is this: AS I SAID BEFORE: You would NOT say: LORD...watch out for that pile of SH!&%T. YOU know it...I know it...and EVERYONE HERE knows it.
And THAT means it was SIN.
