I also find it interesting, sister Alvear ,that you say our thoughts can be sinful ... even if we don't act upon them ...

I know that in a practical sense ... most would say that if we don't act upon them it is not sin ....

but where did the thought come from ... almost always? From us.

There is a lot to be said about justification ....

Some preach a Gospel in which we must be pristine though our own works ... (and in this I include thoughts as a work of our carnal minds) to be "rapture ready" ... but we all readily admit that we are imperfect ....

If so then it is only through Christ that his Bride is without blemish, wrinkle or spot.
