What's your pet sin?

[SkyWriting]

NGL....probably not going to happen for a least a month or two, maybe longer.

Then it sounds like it's controlling you
as my sobriety class instructor would tell us.

 

[ponderingnwandering]

Lust, Masturbation, Swearing, Looking down upon and even hating others, Disbelief, Slothfulness, Apathy... if i were to measure my rank as a Christian upon those things, i'd fail miserably.

Probably worst for me though is lust. I just feel cold hearted when i lust after another woman when i know full well that i don't care about her, nor will i ever. I really just end up hating myself a little more each time i do this. That's not the kind of person i want to be.

Really? Cause when I was a Christian I could never make myself guilty for lusting after someone I just plain didn't get it, and I really tried too. I didn't know people really felt guilty over that, I just thought they were lying.

I'm as worldly as they come as well.

Unrepentant(the definition of unrepentant and repentant being used in the religious definition only).

You know, as odd as it is probably to have someone like me post in this thread and this will be my last post because I'm not actually trying to have malice with posting in this thread...it is some nice self-reflection of a past gone.

and it feeeeels great!

Anyway, swearing is not a sin.

 

[toastface_grillah]

Hmm... lust, apathy, despair and lack of trust that God will come through. Apathy is a surprisingly effective way to self-medicate the other three - especially the despair.

So saying Jesus's name in vain isn't?
Saying God's name in vain isn't?
I can't give examples of how I do it to the rules so use your imagination to figure it out as to the reasons why I put those two as defined 'sins' by Christianity. I wasn't meaning your normal run of the mill cuss words. Those words are cuss words which would mean that would entail cussing.
I cuss and I swear. I've got colorful language ranging from very well put thoughts, to the sailor that has no discretion.

Actually I wouldn't say being worldly feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels great. Its not like I have become more immoral because I am worldly. Its not like anything that much has changed. The freeing part is I'm living as a human being and not a sub-human being.

One nights stands/lust/physical temptation

Those three definitely used to be huge sins for me. I'm thankful I'm not into that anymore.

Well I just remember that temptation just means tempting.
Grant it even as I am tempted, I don't go out and test my strength, so maybe the level of it being a temptation is actually low...hmm...

Sure, I mean I still think about it sometimes. Especially when I see a gorgeous guy that reminds me of one of my flings. But I just don't actually go to the point of pursuing it anymore. I really have no desire to.

I only think about it when it entails someone that is the only thing I would ever be interested in. Like a one-hit wonder type of thing.

When I'm actually interested in someone, like a let's say a crush that means I'm pursuing vs. a me just checking a girl out, I honestly don't have any struggle with the idea of just getting laid for the heck of it. Its just not on my mind. Its no temptation because its not a tempting thought.

Which in a way, makes no logical sense. I mean say I would pursue, and I would get, than the issue is theoretically more able to happen with the successful pursuit, as compared to just me doing a drive by check-out.

I guess I work in contradictions. That's probably why I've never had a one night stand.

I totally understand what you're saying. If I have a crush on or like someone, those thoughts aren't as big of an issue. But random hot guy I'm never going to see again. Yeah, the thoughts cross through my mind. But now, I won't pursue it. I think I had enough of that craziness.

I've just never been interested in meaningless sex. If I'm with somebody in a relationship and there is an emotional and intellectual connection, then thats a different story lol.

When you're trapped in the cycle/addiction, it isn't meaningless to the person.

 

[Oddish]

My biggest one has to be worry and anxiety. I am stressed 95% of the time, always worrying about the future, not feeling good enough, and it is rare that I feel completely satisfied and happy anymore. The only time I feel complete peace is when I am praying more and reading the Bible more, but because I sometimes am too distracted by all the stress it is hard for me to sit down in peace and to focus on God.

Anger is another one of my sins. It mainly stems from fear and disappointment.

Right now, I am so worried about problems at home and other stuff, the weight of it is so heavy on me. I wish I could have more faith that everything is going to be okay.

 

[oryx]

Lust, apathy, lying, uncharitable, lack of trust.

 

[lostaquarium]

What is the sin that currently you find yourself most tempted by, or committing most frequently? How do you avoid it? Need prayer?

Right now, and really for quite some time, I have been severely tempted by disbelief. My faith seems perpetually weak and I'm attracted to atheism like a moth to a flame. I'm not all that good at avoiding it either.

Probably lust and pride. Desire for marriage and desire for success are all good things, but I desire them a little too much.

More like society is controlling me.
