All man have sin and fallen short of the glory of God. Jesus is the only way out of sin, this was confirmed by his death on the cross and consequent resurrection on the third day of his death and power in his holy name.

The more you move closer to him and develop your relationship, the more you know His personality and then you note his likes and hates. At least you won't do that which he hates, because you are in a relationship with him, assuming he is a friend in high place in your heart. The level of the relationship or closeness to him determines how much care we give to our actions, making sure that our action does not bridge his rules. IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THAT LEVEL OF RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, there is high tendency that you will bridge his rules and even not sober or regret for doing so.

What level of relationship are you, with him. The level of you relationship determines your obedience and otherwise.

Many Christians normalize fornication. No sin should be normal.

In one sense, I understand why we refer to some sins as normal: these sins are common, that is, a lot of people struggle with these sins. But this cannot be the whole story, because once people labeled a sin as “normal,” they no longer seem to take the sin very seriously.

It is often said that strength comes in numbers. It seems that, with sin, comfort comes in numbers. When we talk about certain sins as if they were normal, we should mean that strictly in terms of the frequency of those sins.

And, yes, sin is normal among humans because of the Fall. It is common. But the Bible teaches that this universal sinfulness is not normal (in the second sense of the word). We weren’t meant to live this way, even if everyone lives this way at some point in their lives.

We should never let our language bewitch us! Sin is never okay. Sin should never be taken lightly.

Is there any sin(s) you have normalised in your life today?




God created humans to sin for the rest of their lives, why try to stop it

"Sin" is arguably the most useless and meaningless term ever because humans can't even agree on what sin is

Questions: Do Christians studiously avoid eating bacon, pork chops, and the ever-popular Easter Ham because eating pork is a "sin" in Judaism?

Do Christians avoid eating hamburgers because eating beef is a "sin" in Hinduism?

Do Christians refuse to eat cheeseburgers because they're a "sin" in both?

Are Christians strictly vegan because eating meat is a "sin" to Jains?

The reason I ask is to illustrate that a given religion's definition of "sin" only applies to those who are members of that religion, also only applies to whichever sect or interpretation of whatever holy book or instructions are therein, that's why Christians can't agree on what sin is, some Christians regard females wearing trousers as "sin" some say no its not a sin and both sets would read from the same book, this leads to an endless war of interpretation, "The bible" begs the question - which bible? There are many diverse and different, confused and internally contradictory editions of the bible that can be traced back as being written by men from the 4th century onward. The oldest bible ( Codex Sinaiticus" ) was written by a team of four men in the late 4th century and is significantly different to those we know today.

The Bible is the world's longest-running, most widely respected, and least reliable Rorschach Test. You can look in it and see anything you want to see, find anything you want to find, justify any pre-ordained conclusion you prefer, or validate any prejudice — because the Bible has it all: love, hate; revenge, redemption; war, peace; slavery, freedom; humility, arrogance; kindness, cruelty; and, as Mark Twain observed, “upwards of a thousand lies”!

Paradoxically, the contradictions in the Bible may have given it longevity. It means that as conditions change (slavery in and out of favor, for example), you can find Bible verses to show that it supports your worldview.

Isn't it convenient that after all these millennia, YOU finally interpret the Bible properly? grin
