No , not at all... sorry , I mean in no way I would agree with whoever thought you sinned and that is why it happened...
I was expressing my No , because I wanted you to know I would not agree...Sorry for not coming across more clearly...
Thank you my dear sister. Whew.
Okay, so here's what I have to offer. I have logged as many sets of passages that I could find that outlines the behaviors of the Sinful Nature. In all of the Scriptures and notes that I have collected and written, only five times does the word fear come up (relating to sin). Three of them actually have nothing to do with the concept that we're discussing, but one does. Here it is:
Romans 3:10-18 NLT - "As the Scriptures say, "No one is righteous--not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one." "Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with lies." "Snake venom drips from their lips." "Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness." "They rush to commit murder. Destruction and misery always follow them. They don't know where to find peace." "
They have no fear of God at all."
In fact, the problem is that these people LACK fear! And this is to be equated to possessing the Sinful Nature.
I searched for the word "afraid" and found another result. It is this:
2 Corinthians 12:21 NLT - "Yes,
I am afraid that when I come again, God will humble me in your presence. And I will be grieved because many of you have not given up your old sins. You have not repented of your impurity, sexual immorality, and eagerness for lustful pleasure."
Incredibly, Paul is saying his problem with fear is that he is afraid that God will humble him! That's pretty backward (if Posthuman is going to teach that fear is a sin.) Why would Paul ever be afraid that God would humble him if fear were a sin? If fear is sin, then Paul was flat-out sick in the head.
Other than this, there is no reference to fear as being equated to the Sinful Nature or a lack of faith.
My next post is the list of passages that I have cataloged in an Excel Spreadsheet (if anyone thinks that I'm bluffing).
