Right - drinking is not a sin! Agreed! Getting drunk is! Ephesians 5:18 (As I said elsewhere, Lightskin, said "drinking".)
Cussing - It depends what is meant?
The dictionary says cussing is short for cursing - and cursing someone surely is not very Godly!
First thing google says is this: What are cuss words? Profanities can also be called curse ("cuss") words, dirty words, bad words, foul language, obscenity, obscene language, or expletives. It can be called swearing, although this also has a normal meaning of making a "solemn promise". A profanity usually refers to religion, sex, or bodily functions. Lightskin told me he mean 4,8,12 letter words.?? If those words are meant to edify and do good - wonderful! If not, then I don't want him on my property around my children!
Having sex with his girlfriend - should his church deal with it? Absolutely, but if he brings it up on CC I am going to address it as sin!
Do I have struggles with sin? Absolutely, I have struggles with sin, and I have no problem with someone admitting struggle with sin, but I do have a problem with someone who admits sin but does nothing to overcome it. Which is Lightfoot? I don't know for sure. If he wants to overcome it and has a heart for God (as he says), he will want to live in victory over sin.

It has been adressed
1. He admitted it is a sin
2. Many people here have admitted it is a sin
3. He has stated he is trying to do Gods will and get help
4. To continue to harass a brother because he did what God asked us to do. which is to confess our sins to one another so we may be healed.. in a CHAT room is not biblical..
Unless of course you want to confess your sins also.. So you too can be healed as James told us too?

Be careful, otherwise you'll find yourself going round in circles.
These people wish to rebuke me for preaching a 'salvation by works' gospel, even though I'm not.
Despite the thread title, I've clarified this repeatedly, but these people keep asking the same questions.
Their persistence has even manifested in personal attacks at times.
As you're now finding out, these people do not think Christians should keep God's commandments.
If you tell them that we should keep God's commandments, they accuse you of preaching 'salvation by works'.
Then, if you point out that they're going round in circles and twisting what you're saying, they accuse you of bearing false witness.
These people are not out to listen and understand, they are out to argue.

yes you are
In your own words. You say we MUST TRY OUR BEST (work)
Whats funny is these two calvinists who seem to love defending you. do not believe trying our best is required for salvation either.. But since they HATE us for calling them out and questioning their belief also.. Well you know the old saying the enemy of my enemy is my freind.
You have yourself attacked others..
This is a lie. again you are bearing false witness..
Same could be said of you
When you continually refuse to listen to others. and continually say things about them which are nt true. You are ARGUING with them
when people try to get you to understand why they say certain things, and you keep getting mad at them, YOU ARE ARGUING.
What you are du=isplayingn here is called hypicrocy.. Your demanding others do something you refuse to do yourself.
