General_Tenken It is basicaly impossible to pass a day without sinning. Being humans, we are naturally flawed and imperfect. Sinning does not only incorporate our actions done physically, but also thoughts done mentally... What we think in our minds such as lust or hatred is just as much of a sin as one we commit with our hands or body. Only one who is perfect cannot sin. And only one has been able to, to whom sacrificed himself to save us. I was in a coma for well over 24 hours, so it is obviously possible. On a more serious note, cursing in your head is not necessarily a sin. The bible never says cursing is a sin.

True it doesn't say anything specific about not swearing, but it does say to be be Christ-like, and I really can't imagine Jesus Christ walking around using swear words the way people do now.

I am unaware of any verse saying we should be like Jesus in all ways, but it hardly matters. Your personal view of Jesus or god is irrelevant in determining what is a sin. While it may be "better" to refrain from activities such as drinking, it is not a sin to drink. The question of sin is objective, whereas your personal interpretation is subjective and meaningless to any who do not share it.

What kind of a poll is that?! domokun
I dunno. It's pretty freaking hard to not sin. Sleep all day, that's a sin. Don't interact with anyone (less chance that you'll screw up!), no, that's a sin, too. It's kind of like a maze, with a ton of booby traps ...
That's the funny thing, though. I don't sin nearly as much as others but by the end of the day I still often manage to feel like crap, like I've not given God enough due respect, like I haven't been reading my Bible enough, or involving myself in fellowship with others, blah blah. The whole Catholic-guilt thing.

The whole Catholic-guilt thing. What makes you think that you "haven't sinned as much as others"? Doesn't the bible clearly state that ALL have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God? Doesn't it clearly say "There is not one righteous person who does what is right but has never sinned"? There are no measures of sin; murdering someone is just as bad as stealing. Divorce is just as bad as lying. There is no comparison. It is by faith, not by works that we are righteous. Only throught Jesus are we truly cleansed from our sins.

symphony in peril i think its impossible not to go an entire day without sinning unless you're asleep for 24 hours xd But then there are your thoughts! surprised wink I think it would be brilliant to try to go a day without sinning. It'd be impossible, but I suppose it's really what we ought to be doing all the time, just stated in a simple way! mrgreen

Ephesians 5:4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. I do not see "sin" anywhere in this passage, so i fail to see your point. In addition, i question abiding by something which condemns "foolish talk." The same is true of your other passage. By the by, next time you want to discuss a few verses, feel free to post the verses, rather than make everyone else look for them.

Why would God want you to do such things? It doesn't matter if they say the actual word "sin," they're saying "Nor should there be," meaning you shouldn't do it. Get it? Oh, and in the Bible I have on my lap here with me right now, Colossians 3:8 goes as follows: "But now is the time to cast off and throw away all these rotten garments of anger, hatred, cursing and dirty language." Sorry for not posting the actual verse. I've seen many people just say which verse it is, so I assumed most would know what I meant. 4laugh

Sorry for not posting the actual verse. I've seen many people just say which verse it is, so I assumed most would know what I meant. 4laugh Meh. I actually had to go and look at this passage for more than a few moments for a response. You have foiled my plot of laziness. A quote from an article i read. Quote: Clearly, the Bible forbids something called aijscrologiva (aischrologia), “obscene speech.” Colossians 3:8 says, “But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech [aijscrologiva (aischrologia)] from your mouth” (NASB). The NIV translates the word as “filthy language.” The KJV has “filthy communication.” The ASV reads, “shameful speaking.” Luther, who is known for his affection for cussing, translates the word “schandbare Worte.” The question is What does Colossians 3:8 specifically forbid when it tells us to put away aijscrologiva (aischrologia)? The word itself is made up of two Greek words: aijscrov" (aischros) meaning “disgraceful, shameful, dishonest,” and lovgia (logia), meaning “oracles.” In every use in the NT, lovgia (logia) refers to “oracles,” or the revealed message from God. It is not the word lovgo" (logos), which can refer to actual words themselves (Matt 12:36), a message (Matt 13:19), or speech in general (Matt 5:37). So, it appears that Paul is actually forbidding false prophesying. *shrugs*
