Do you have a list of those hotels to offer to your like-minded, porn-avoiding, brothers and sisters?

That would be helpful for some, I'm sure.
Do you?

We stay where it is most comfortable and is a good price for what they provide, usually a Hilton since they have a good breakfast in the morning.

That is a pretty good idea. Pass along information that will help a porn issue.

Refraining from sin is only part as one should lead by example what it is to be a person of God by leading them to the Lord as they should be concerned with their salvation. God wants us to spread the gospel to others. If we stay in the word and lead others and have confidence we are assured of Heaven as this is how we should please Him
The "sinless" people here are the poster child of the Pharisee who said "thank you that I am not like those sinners".

They are busy judging and mocking those who struggle with sin.

They have no idea what it says about themselves.

So, it's not that important to you. I understand.

It isn't to me either. I tend to stay at the one closest to some walkable area of town.

It can be for sex traffickers though. Hotels would be smart to stop all porn for the sake of young people who are used that way.

Dear Finn,

I have never compared myself to you. I have never thanked God for not sinning.

I have never addressed another persons sin with God. I am incapable of using my time with God to speak about your sin. It is far too valuable, and I do not waste it.

I simply do not sin. God knows this. We are good friends.

You struggle with sin, and I am not mocking you. I want you to stop. It must be terrible to have that struggle. It seems worse with your every post. I am concerned.

Love,
Ronk

More finger shaking! That's worrying. You could do some serious damage considering how much you shake your finger at the non-fundamentalists. Repetitive motion injuries can be painful and difficult to deal with. I suggest Googling carpel tunnel syndrome for more information.

BS, and you know it, the Pharisee trusted in themselves(like all fundamentalists do, who keep sinning because they trust in themselves and despise those who live by the power of God in them),and not those who believe they can live a victorious life over the power of sin and death by the Christ power in them and the grace of God.
