Charnock's Hates Sin Thread

[Adam]

1 Corinthians 3:3
for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?

Not as much fighting and fussing as you like, maybe you should start your own DAII forum.

Lots of lurkers because of the extensive content picked up by google online searches and also spiders ... but the same 20 or so post daily.

It's flatlining.

[Adam]

Philippians 1:15-17
Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.

[Adam]

You all almost persuade me to be a Christian. Yet, I should look to Christ, not to men for my salvation. Amen?

Good reminder, but I hope you won't judge what God has for you by things said here.

Maybe this is where our thoughts should be:

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

[Adam]

I talk outta turn, I know. I realize brothers and sisters quarrel.

Cursing is a sin.

God don't like that.

1. Saying "what the heck/hell" is not cursing.

2. Saying "what the heck/hell" is not taking the Lord's name in vain.

3. Does the Bible forbid cursing?

4. Jesus cursed.

Well, that's 18 more than the other place.

This literally cracked me up considering your name and all:

1 Timothy 6:20-21
O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith.

First, it's "God DOESN'T like that."

Second, I know what it's slang for and I would have used "hell" in that spot but I would have been infracted for it. Personally, I don't have problem with that phrase but since others may, I didn't use it.

Using "Hell" in that place would not have been cursing. However, saying "Oh my God" would be taking the Lord's name in vain which is a clear violation of one of the Ten Suggestions.
