Has anyone read this book? And there is a website called llaac.com. We all need to talk about our sins more so we can learn how to say no to them. What do u guys think, don't we need to talk more about sin and temptation?.

Sin is when a person hurt the feeling of another. To avoid it is to treat those the way you wanted to be treated. But if you don't know what hurt them, then you should try wearing the other person shoes to see how it feels.

did Christ sin when he hurt the Pharisee's feelings? i hardly think "avoiding hurtful speech" sums up the message of the gospel.

I think rather than talk about sin and temptation it is better to focus on the Lord, his ways, his thoughts. Think about that, talk about that, so that we live that. If we focus on sin we are more likely to sin imo.

I doubt He hurt their feelings. They were probably preoccupied with "picking up spilled money." In the resurrection, when they see everything from the correct perspective, they will hurt their own feelings based on His words, and throw themselves into whatever lake of fire that they built for themselves.

Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”

Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.
