Jeff, we all struggle with our "stuff". So you aren't in trouble just because you struggle. Where these churches are wrong is that they accept their sin as OK to God and they don't try to overcome it anymore.

You mean we all struggle with our..."sin"?

Am I the only one who finds it amusing that we can't say the "s" word in relation to ourselves, but we're very quick to apply it to others? Just an observation that I found amusing.

We struggle with "stuff", "words mispoken", even "actions unbecoming". C'mon. It's good 'ol fashioned SIN. S-I-N. Sin.

You're right, of course. Freudian slip!!! We all struggle with our "SIN"!

I suppose that God is more merciful that we give Him credit for.

Ed it is not the feelings or the struggling that is sinful, but the practice.
Somethings are a spiritual battle and sometimes we need others to pray for us. As James states to confess our faults one to another-I believe there is power and deliverance in confessing our struggles to a trust worthy person, that can pray.

God knew when he filled me with the Holy Ghost as a youth that I would lie, cheat, steal, commit fornication, and even adultery...but God still filled me with His spirit.

They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

Blessings, Rhoni

We are not his judge...we leave those things up to Jesus. One day all of us will have our sins shouted from the housetops...but thank God for his blood that cleanses us and washes us white as snow.

Blessings, Rhoni

IF he makes it to Heaven he might get the room down the hall next to the noisy ice machine for all eternity.

Well I know with all my struggles, I know that when I go to bed at night, I ask God to forgive me of whatever sin or transgression I have against myself, God, and others. If I make it, it will be because of God and His grace and no other. Thank you all. You have been kind in your posts. Jeff.
