Its always a little exasperating, because as always, I'd really like to know ... WHAT the hell SIN are you talking about?!?!?!?
What sin am I possibly doing that I need an excuse for?!?!???
I drink alcohol. Well, I know a LOT of church going christians that drink alcohol.
I occasionally will smoke a little of the green, but I'm reasonably sure that's not mentioned as a sin.
I play rock n roll music, but I damn sure never conjured up the devil and recorded him on the reverse track.
I've never cheated on my wife.
I've never even had a child out of wedlock.
I've never raped someone and never will.
I've never robbed anyone, with exception to stealing candy from a store when I was a little grade-schooler (and ironically enough, still a christian).
I don't get into fights. I don't hurt people maliciously. I'm not a racist or a bigot.
I'm an avid supporter of women and gay rights.
I hardly ever even break the speed limit.
So ... what the fuck sin am I trying to make an excuse for?!??! Such an annoying comment ya know ......
(sorry bout the rant, I'm still pissed about this)
Have you lied? Gossiped? Lusted? Hated anyone? Stole anything Ever? If not give it time. For we do not need an excuse to sin. We are Slaves to sin. That means we are bound to sin. Sin doesn't make you a bad person, for we all sin. All of the time, even after we are saved. What makes you a person damnable to Hell is not seeking redemption for sin after it was offered.
