If you are saying if youir sin emotionally offends, I am sure God does get offended, seeing that sin is defined as offence. He gets angry at sin and rejoice in the one who is upright, and that one time it regretted Him to have made humans, but was pleased in His Son. I am sure if we have emotions, since we are made in Hs image, then I am sure He has emotions.
But, I think your question pertains to a Christian's walk. In that prospective, if you sin, you are beginning to turn away from the Spirit and starting to walk upon youir own path. If you continue walking in sin and ignoring the Spirit's Voice of correction, then I am sure it would hurt Him, seeing that one has decided to apostate (return to his/her vomit).

Scripture states that our sin does indeed grieve the Holy Spirit because it is His job to sanctify us so that we might become more like Christ. Continual sin actually hinders the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. That's why humility and repentance is so important because if and when we sin, God is willing to forgive us if we are willing to humble ourselves and forsake our sin in favor of right relationship with God's Spirit.
Your theology totally lacks this...
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
HAVE as in past tense. The affections and lusts HAVE been crucified.
Those who are Christ's HAVE done this and those that have not are not Christ's. That is what the Bible teaches. This is why the Bible is full of warning after warning after warning of how a Christian is to live, they are to make no provision for the flesh.
All this "beginning to turn away from the Spirit" in regards to walking after the flesh is not in the Bible. One is either crucified or they are not. There is no middle road or grey area. Your theology has this grey area of sinning and not surely dying as long as it does not go on too long. The Bible does not teach this and there are plenty of scriptures which clearly contradict this view.
The flesh is crucified in initial repentance.
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
It is a done deal. It is not a process or something that is done gradually. A person has either done this or they haven't.
When this has occurred the new believer no longer yields to the flesh in disobedience to God because they have crucified the flesh.
Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Grace is the power of God to keep the flesh crucified.
To ignore this is to coddle sinful behaviour. To ignore this makes an allowance to walk in the flesh as long as it is not "habitual" so to speak.
To continue to walk after the flesh will damn ones soul to perdition. There is no way to sugar coat the clear teachings of Jesus, Paul, James, Peter and John. One cannot obey God from the heart lest they forsake their rebellion through repentance.
Eze 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
You'll never address those scriptures directly because they prove that you are not Christ's because you have plainly stated that you have not crucified your flesh with its passions and desires.
2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
2Co 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2Co 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
You'll go to another scripture and twist it as if it cancels out Gal 5:24 and Romans chapter 6. Truth doesn't work that way.
Rom 2:1 is not for willful transgression, it has to be read in the context of all of 1st John.
1Jn 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1Jn 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
A born again believer cannot sin because if they do they are no longer walking in the light and they no longer have the seed remaining in them. Rebellion and obedience do not mix. One cannot serve two masters, light and darkness do not mix, one cannot walk in the flesh and the Spirit at the same time. One cannot abide in Christ and spit in His face at the same time. You are either a servant of sin or a servant of righteousness (Rom 6:16).
1Jn 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1Jn 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
1Jn 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
A truly born again believer will not produce sin in their life because they cannot produce sin because they are born of God. The moment a born again believer willfully rebels against God they are no longer born again and walking after the Spirit.
Salvation is not something abstract, it is not a package wrapped up with a ribbon on it which you have. Salvation is the real experience of living living in the Spirit of the life of Jesus Christ where one is walking with God through a pure obedient heart.
All false teaching will deny this and present salvation in an abstract sense where one can be walking in rebellion yet be right with God at the same time. Gnosticism disconnects the deeds of the flesh from the state of the soul. Jesus did not teach gnostic philosophy, nor did the early church.
The way to life is via the strait gate and narrow way and one must strive to enter into it. FEW will do so.
Believe Jesus and not the teachings of men.

2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

As to your accusational spirit of me not being in Christ, I have told you once that you are not a god. I told you that only God searches a man's heart. I have told you about grace. I have told you about mercy. I have told you about one's walk with the Spirit. I have told you that we are not perfect until we are perfect. But to these things you heed not. So in your work to maintain your salvation, you will notice that you lack a relationship with God, seeing that you give no credit to the Spirit who works in you.
Do not accuse me of being dammed. You condemn But yet, you do not see your own flaming log scorching your soul. Give God the credit, not yourself.

Again you completely ignore every scripture I post. You will not address them for you cannot address them as they expose your errors.
I am not accusing you of being damned. I am simply saying that if you have not crucified your flesh with its passions and desires then you cannot claim to be Christ's.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
The above verse is a defining characteristic of a true Christian. It is a very clear statement.
1Joh 1:8 likewise has to be read in the context of the entire epistle of 1st John. The false teachers use basically 4 verses out of that whole epistle and ignore the rest. You cannot take snippets of scripture out of context and then use them as if it cancels out what the Bible plainly states elsewhere.
You theology basically teachers that the blood of Christ cannot cleanse you of all sin because you claim that to say you are without sin makes one a liar. 1 Joh 1:8-10 are repentance verses and the application is clearly in the context of how one is to walk in the light (1Joh 1:7). Without confessing and forsaking sin one cannot walk in the light. It is a very simply understanding and harmonises with the rest of scripture.
You bandy around words like "grace" and "mercy" but always in the context of making an allowance of the continuation of sin. You can say that I am not of God all you like but I am the one using the scriptures in context while you are not.
Jude wrote this...
Jud 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jud 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul wrote this...
2Co 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds

That is all I am doing, I am shining a very bright light on the strongholds which exist in the minds of those who are under the strong delusion which has enveloped the apostate church system.
You keep saying that I give no credit to the Spirit that works in me yet I write about the Spirit all the time. It is by the Spirit that we mortify the deeds of the flesh. Salvation lies in the life of the Spirit in Jesus Christ.
You just ignore those parts of my post because you don't like how I am very steadfast in regards that the flesh must be crucified in repentance and that the sin must stop. It is a no grey area message.
You won't refute the scriptures, you ignore them. All you reply with is rhetoric and accusation.
Address Romans chapter 6, Gal 5, the teachings of Jesus I have shown, explain how you can serve two masters and still be saved?
How can you claim to be Christ's when you have not crucified the flesh with its passions and desires? Was Paul lying when he wrote that?
The deception in the church system is deep and its foundation goes back well over 1400 years. It is better to come to a knowledge of the truth now and deal with it than be naked at the judgement.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Jesus loves US NO MATTER HOW HEAVY OUR SINS ARE. It's good to know that God is a forgiving God and He only requires us to repent. If we intentionally do a sin, God will get angry too but still He loves us. One more thing, every time we commit sin, we break the Holy Spirit.
REPENTANCE + SURRENDER = RESTORATION
REPENTANCE + SURRENDER = RESTORATION

By Cfultz3: “*sin is defined as offence” sin is to REBEL, to disobey. So sin IS an offence. But to say that God is offended by our sin? IF you are born again, per John 3 and Romans 10 and 1 John 5:18, then you are covered in the Blood of the Lord Jesus and God, the Father does not see your sin. You are righteous in Christ and He in you.
Crossfire: “*Continual sin actually hinders the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. “ See 1 John 5:18
You MUST remember that when a person is born again, ALL things INCLUDING the sin nature of man, are washed clean by the blood. And when He resides in us, we have HIS nature. What most Christians fail to do is to get rid of the old HABITS of the old nature. They fail to pursue the manifesting of the Christ-nature that is now, newly, in them. Too many that call themselves Christians insist on hanging on to their old, former and NOW DEAD nature and it is THAT that gets in the way of their ability to hear from Holy Spirit and then so, to obey.

This is total nonsense. Do people really believe that God looks at you through a Jesus cloak while you continue in sin? This has to be one of the most foolish doctrines ever proclaimed by people.
Jesus did not teach any such thing anywhere. There is no scripture in the entire Bible that says the blood of Jesus Christ covers your continued sin so God cannot see it. Not only does the whole context of the Bible deny such a thing, there are no scriptures that support it. It is read into a few scriptures by conjecture by the false teachers and theologians. Yet people eat it up.
This damnable heresy treats the blood of Jesus Christ like the blood of animals which cannot purge the conscience. How can people honestly believe that the best God can do is cloak wickedness with a Jesus cloak rather than actually purify the heart?
Jesus can cleanse you. He is not a sin cloak.
Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
This has to be one of the most damnable doctrines there is, yet millions of people buy into it because it makes them feel good. There is no strait gate, count the cost, deny self, pick up your cross, dig deep, be a doer of the word, go and sin no more, etc. in it. It throws all the teachings of Jesus Christ right out the window.
Where is any of that in the Bible?
Jesus taught that you must pick up your cross, deny yourself and follow Him.
Paul taught that you are to crucify your flesh with its passions and desires in repentance. You are to die with Him crucifying the old man so that God will raise you up to newness of life by the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.
That is what the Bible teaches. It does not teach "trust in Jesus" and you then get the magic sin cloak and that God puts on the Jesus glasses so He cannot see you sin. That is superstitious nonsense that will lead you to hell because it negates the need for repentance and the crucifixion of the flesh. It totally throws it out the window.
Also you are not born with a sin nature. A sin nature develops over time through practiced habitual sin.
Sin is a choice, it is a moral choice. The flesh tempts you yes and that is why the passions and desires of the flesh must be crucified. True Christian's do not yield to the flesh, they are overcomers. They have suffered with Christ and ceased from sin. That is what the Bible teaches.
The sin nature doctrine is based off ancient gnostic philosophy and it was solidified into the Catholic Church by Augustine of Hippo in the fourth century. Look it up and don't be deceived by these lies.
Sin is not a disease. Sin is a choice.
If you do this you are not right with God.
Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
You must do this...
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Rom 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Rom 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
It is all right there, clearly laid out by Paul. Paul is just teaching what Jesus taught.
You must lay aside all wickedness in repentance and turn back to God. God will then raise you up and empower you to walk in victory, He will cleanse your heart through the blood which you access through faith.
Salvation is not positional. Salvation is not an abstract package. Salvation is walking in victory in this world with Christ as you walk after the Spirit.
You cannot live according to the flesh like an animal as it makes you an enemy of God. God is calling us to yield to His Spirit and rule over the base instincts of the flesh. We are to love one another and not live like animals.

My two cents,
I don't see Skinski condemning anyone, I see a man who is following the narrow path Jesus called HIs followers on, what disturbs you is the light of truth, its right before your eyes, most don't see it, because you love the lie, and are in great delusion.
But you see us as the same, we both cant be right.
You ignore the true gospel, original sin and substitution is a false teaching.
You make excuses for willful sins against God, and ignore all the scriptures that tell you to crucify your flesh with Christ, through the power of the spirit, not in our own strength, we can do it, its not difficult its required!
To be In Christ means you have crucified your flesh, through repentance, putting to death the deeds of the body.
To say you can fall into willful sin, flesh out as some say, live of the world, putting all that garbage in your mind, and mixing light with darkness is very dangerous.
God doesnt save you IN your sins, but out of them, He has the power to do that, but we have our part in repentance and a working faith in love and obedience.
Gal 5:16 I say, then, Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary to one another; lest whatever you may will, these things you do.

hello, i am sorry if i started a fight everytime i post a subject i have been thinking about somehow it seems there is a disagreement and i do not like that because it causes confusion, sorry no offence.
but i would like to say that that video was very good and it explained a few things i think so thankyou for sharing that,
basically when i wrote this about sinning i was thinking about why jesus died and was crucified and that he died for our sins and i would like to make a point to say that it was jesus who it has been said "died for our sins" past, present and future as i have been told, so jesus i think died for us and he takes our sins away, but does jesus suffer for us in heaven because of us and our wicked ways? is he tormeneted by the constant stream of sins that could be totally unforgivable? i have no great sins that i talk about altho i am a born again christian who wants to get baptized to seal the deal so to speak lol
but i was really worried if i gave my sins to jesus if i would hurt him spiritually, i have suffered maybe not as bad as some but i have suffered and i thought my suffering was because i was in sin and that makes sense to me. sorry if i have not explained this properly but i hope you know what i mean.
i love god, i would give my life for him, so why would i want to give his son all of my sins and all of my wickedness? it just doesn't seem fair on him that is all.
i wrote a poem last night that i would like to share with you
it's called Crucified-
Why did you die for me?
Why did you take the pain?
I gave my live to you
so things won't stay the same.
And i don't want to hurt you
with my sins,
And i want to carry you on
wings,
We made a pact that day it's
true,
a life foresaken but renewed.
And i ask myself why,
And i break down and cry,
You give your love, your life
and soul,
Your life has always been
foretold.
i think i may need to work on it but i wanted to share it with you none the less
blessings and take care.
