Indeed. We must keep our mind on the prize. "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
When we have those thoughts we must drive them from our mind and not let lust conceive, not allow it to become more than a fleeting thought.
"But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."
Show me the commandment against shooting heroin.
Ignorance is a lack of knowledge.
Stupidity is a rejection of that knowledge.

There is sin that is sin. And there is sin that is sin because I believe it is sin.
Romans 14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.
I know that this verse is talking about food, but the point carries. If we believe anything is wrong, then it is wrong. But just because we believe something is not wrong, does not mean that it is not wrong. We must live by faith. And to live by faith, we must be eager to know what pleases and displeases God.
1 Corinthians 10:28-30
[SUP]28 [/SUP]But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake; [SUP]29 [/SUP]I mean not your own conscience, but the other man’s; for why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? [SUP]30 [/SUP]If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?
It seems that Paul likes to talk about food
. John 4:34 Jesus *said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.
Even though my "freedom" is not "judged" by another's conscience, I must take my brother's faith and conscience into consideration. But, if we could only do what was not a problem for someone else, we could not do anything. Think about it, there is always someone that disapproves of one thing and someone else that disapproves with the other, so while I do take my brother's beliefs into consideration, it ultimately cannot keep me from doing what I believe God wants me to do.
Romans 13:8
Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Galatians 5:22-24
[SUP]22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,[SUP]23 [/SUP]gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. [SUP]24 [/SUP]Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

It is the spirit that is born of God and does not sin, cannot sin and is perfect in standing before God....however, Paul clearly taught under inspiration of God's Spirit that when he goes to do good he finds a law that states...
1. With his mind he served the law of God
2. With his flesh the law of sin as found in the law below!
He finds a law that when he would do good, EVIL IS PRESENT WITH HIM!
The things that are good and wants to do he does not do and....
The things that are contrary that he does not want to do he does...
AND
The will to do good is present, but the ability to do the good eludes HIM!

Straight answer for a straight question,...its very simple...
This much detail and then getting back to the explanation i made is the only way of explaining it when people cannot share their life.(suddenly you have an advocate for the sins you commit which i already said)
i was not trying to trick you,but when you address others to run,flee without studying their circumstance,its not good.
am not devil to make anyone to be forced to jump into a trap and then condemn.
Should i continue to make clear what i said?
i have read the Holy Scripture enough,seen How much deep God's Love is..but also have seen people who confess to be staying on Scripture but not able to confess their sinless life after coming to Christ.A big prob.
Post #12 is the best way to explain things,its not about shooting scriptures...people stumble and sin more when they see short explanations without personal experience provided.
Even when i overcome more and more,i wish to be be still visible to people when i live on earth as a wretched man who cry for more of God's Holiness and not boast or shoot scripture without taking time and patience to help others.i carry a spiritual whip for my back when i become proud more and not for sinning more now and then in other ways.

I think you are here to cause division. Those who truly do read and
know the Bible have just as much right to share what they have gleaned
from the Word and that which the Holy Spirit teaches.
You are not speaking to children who can be treated like they are.
It would please me to see you take your false doctrine elsewhere.
Sorry, but this is how I see your posts.

Roman 6
15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! [SUP]16 [/SUP]Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? [SUP]17 [/SUP]But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. [SUP]18 [/SUP]You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. [SUP]19 [/SUP]I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. [SUP]20 [/SUP]When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. [SUP]21 [/SUP]What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! [SUP]22 [/SUP]But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. [SUP]23 [/SUP]For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[SUP][b][/SUP] Christ Jesus our Lord.

Clearly, As all I said is you should define what is considered in a sin in the thread titled "how hard is it NOT to sin".
----------------------------------
"It's so hard not to sin everyday. I try and and try but I just can't make it through a day without sinning. Is it even possible? I feel as if the lord has abandoned me".
There, I wrote the response you were expecting so that you can guide people back to Jesus and comfort them in your faith.
You do realize that this thread is just self-indulgence right?
