Are you free to lie cheat steel? Have road rage, Take a night off when you do not feel like serving someone?
Why do you people always focus on the deep sins, and reject the little sins, Just like the pharisee did,, You clean the outside, while the inside is filthy.
Why do you not take them as your example and see how you are just like them.
"Are you free to lie cheat steel? Have road rage, Take a night off when you do not feel like serving someone?"
EG - the answer is no.
Now lying is sinful and wrong. I do not lie.
Cheat - I do not cheat.
Road rage - dangerous driving makes me angry for the harm it does, but I never
have road rage.
Serving someone or honouring commitments. I desire to honour all my commitments.
It seems like your approach is to not walk righteously even in the small things, and thereby
excuse the whole approach. This walk is not impossible, but to you it would appear so.
This is why talking through and confessing sins helps, because it puts into perspective nothing
is not conquerable in Christ.
You obviously intended your little examples to demonstrate how people fail, but rather it
demonstrates how people can see Christ love at work in everything they do.
And as I stated it would be helpful bringing things back to scripture.
Lying - we must speak the truth
A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
Prov 26:28
all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Rev 21:8
Cheating -
You shall not steal.
Exodus 20:15
Anger
“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry
Eph 4:26
Commitments
Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.
James 5:12
If we do not stick with our commitments we are not being honest.
It is fine to agree to change them, but they matter.
These are not small sins or minor issues, these are the fabric of morality and life.
It is why we need to talk about them and work through them. By not doing this
it is no surprise people stay immature in Christ or do not really know Him.
