what sins do you struggle with?

Okay guys, I feel like I have to share my views on a few things in this thread.

To the person that said we don't control our emotions - this may be true but can be corrected. You are indeed supposed to control your emotions and I can confirm that it is possible. By following the teachings of Jesus as common practice you can begin to see this for yourself as I have.

Desire is most definitely important and can be sinful. You can sin in action, in thought or in feeling (in your heart.) Jesus makes this quite clear. We must strive to clean up all of these.

Anger can have a usefulness I agree and is not a sin in of itself, but there is a fine line between anger (which can show you how important something is to you) and sin so be careful to use your anger only when it is essential and keep it under control.

Sloth I believe applies to doing the work that God needs you to do, not "work" in general (i.e. your job.) The two may be related or they may not.

Also, I see nothing about smoking weed that makes it sinful. I love reading the Bible high and the Holy Spirit has never shied away from me when I have been high. The important thing to remember when dealing with God is to keep your heart open and submit to Him. If being high doesn't affect this adversely for you, then I see no problem. I am open to being corrected on this issue but I must share that I found God after I started smoking marijuana (when I was 22, I'm 25 now) and my relationship with Him has been improving and growing steadily since then. I am at the point where at times I can't contain my joy. So it would seem odd to me if weed was a sin. As I say though feel free to enlighten me on this topic if you know of anything I don't.

Now, what I struggle with most is loving my enemies. I don't have "enemies" per say but assuming the term applies to anyone you don't get along with then I would like to be more loving to those who disrespect me and genuinely wish that they find the love of God.

The other is telling the truth. I am actually very good at this except to some family members. I usually tell white lies to keep myself safe from their judgments. I know that my faith needs to grow to the point where I should not fear the judgment of any man.

God bless and may He help you all with your struggles.

 

sloth

 

I struggle with not wanting to rejoice when my enemies fall and with not hating those that would/have despitefully used me. Indifference is not good, but it seems to be the best I'm coming up with lately.

 

hmm.. I have sinned a lot because of lie. and the most troublesome is "envy"

 

I snack from the fridge late at night, it's a struggle.

 

I'am sin

 

I sometimes imagine cutting people into pieces.

 

Meh, Christians have been doing that for centuries

 

I sometimes forget what my priorities are, and get myself into trouble. When I remind myself that only God is important, my life straightens itself out.

 

slothiness

 

im known to bear false witness against my neighbor every now and then

 

..I covet the neighbors wife

 

Are you being serious? Sorry if you aren't, but could you tell me why you think this is sinful?

 

Of course I am being serious.

It's a treacherous thing, I sit up in bed at night disgusted and covered in chicken grease

 

I gets verry berry angry when I get threatened once every year or two
the threats are sometimes jokes I'm too stoned to get which is pretty sinful eh

 

Pretty much all of them, though I haven't taken the Lord's name in vain today. I'll get round to that.

 

Oh you...

 

Pride. The mirrors tempt me so!

 

Wasting time on the net.

 

I'm guilty of believing in a false deity at one time
