I confess. I am guilty.
I watched James Bond yesterday. Halley Berry was at first very pretty. Then she turned into bait.

Reading all these posts where poster's continually attempt to prove THEY are without sin..versus the other poster..makes me LOL..WHY?? Because no human being is without sin!!! Whether thought or deed..or as on C-D I read a whole host of rather sinful thinkings..BUT that means...Unless you are some Deity ( ordained by God himself) You ALL SIN!! bountifully!! Daily..word, deed, thought ..So puleeze...Any christian claiming purity, they are living in some sort of alter-reality....Going to church..quoting scriptures..interpreting those scriptures..does NOT mean you are PURE!!
AS, I am human..I admit I am not perfect..but at least I admit it..however..those preaching and continually blame other's , no matter how trivial needs to give themselves a shake...
As to the topic of this thread..Those thumping their Bibles..quoting scriptures..claiming righteous authority..thus feels within their rights to Judge..in reality..those same actually SIN..and Big time!! So yes..They are Hypocrites! You cannot demand something from other's that you don't actually walk....The Duggar Family is a prime example..not to mention their followers!! I'm Old so could go back to many many evangelists who shamed shamed themselves and their messages..So, why should I ever believe some poster claiming purity of their lives?? Nope!!
It is not a burden to be a redeemed sinner. Rather, is is freedom from guilt and a path toward spiritual maturity.
Calling God a liar is between you, and God. It is your problem to solve. Any redemption is between you and God, too.
It is a burden to see it as the only relationship possible to have. Especially when ignorance is no longer bliss, because I have shown you another way.

Nice try.

10 If we say that we have not sinned (that's what you claim about yourself), we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
Agreed. Honestly, I have no idea what point you're trying to make.
The point I am making Jimmie is, Ronk(I think Ronk is a lady :-)) is getting scowled upon because she says she doesn't sin, yet in the same breathe you bible fundamentalists who think you are humble to call yourself sinners and who don't claim not to sin(but come across like you never do) obviously have sin in your life by rejecting Ronk's claim to have no sin(impossible to you), and therefore according to the scripture you are deceiving yourself and the truth is not in you. It's like you know you are sinning and instead of admitting it, appease yourself and sweep your sin consciousness under the carpet with self justification by your beliefs so it appears you are not sinning...... The reason Ronk's claim of not sinning is offensive to you is because you judge her by your own failings or by the bible........ scripture does not teach either.
Me, yes I do miss the mark, but I have set my face like a flint to walk in unconditional forgiveness towards myself and the world. I do not give sin a second thought because I am not sin conscious.
Looking at porn is not a crime against anyone. Women do it too.
On the other hand, prostitution and the sex trade, not so much. Or, legalize it, so that women have actual protection against people trying to hurt them (as things stand, they are criminals, meaning they can't call the police if their clients are crazy).

Scripture tells us the obvious. All are sinners. That you deny that does not surprise me.
You are doing just that, and projecting that on to me. No. I will not allow you to do that. It is yours to own.
I tell you God knows I do not sin, and you wish to deny that, and make God a liar. I will not allow you to place that burden on my shoulders. It is yours to bear.
Let that go.
One step at a time. And never alone.
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
