I don't know if I'd call it "accidental" but ...

I think our carnal nature is so wrought with sin we can sin even subconsciously ... how to explain lustful dreams?

That came from somewhere within us ... or the toddler who lies even before they really understand they are lying.

What this thread is about is different levels of sin.. It seems most Christians cannot wrap their brain around that. Sometimes I percieve were too black and white. Heroin addiction is much more damaging then caffeine addiction.. Yet addiction is sin. Bigger "spirits" control different sins and or temptations to the human mind, that are potentially much more harmful to our long term spiritual psyche.

We can have sinful thoughts, if we don't act upon them are we sinning?

Re: Levels of sin

I've had dreams that I'm sure didn't come from God.
I assume they came from one of satan's angels or from my old (human) nature.

But what is their fount ??? .... we'd like to blame the devil ... but they are sinful as you have described them ... full of sin.

It's our sin nature .... our carnality ... that produced them.

It is this very thing ... that requires us to be clothed with the righteousness of Christ ... our justification runs deep.

So you believe God categorizes sin? He would prefer we steal than kill?
