I am a lot more strict on sinning than Feathers


Posts: 5714

even though I still have plenty of sinful thoughts that lead to sinful actions that I am currently working on learning the wisdom and understanding of the scriptures to be able to stop, I have a very low tolerance for my own sinning and for allowing and encouraging other people to sin without saying something about it instead of being an "innocent encouraging bystander" who does not try to influence in a more positive, Jesus-glorifying behavior type of way



I make plenty of mistakes, but I have noticed that as far as intentions go, my intentions are to learn to stop sinning before trying to truly love anyone else or be a good example to anyone else of Jesus's love and forgiveness, whereas Feathers seems to have the opposite approach of "just love, and sinning doesn't really matter as much if I do it or you do it or not because of grace" which is super disrespectful to Jesus's sacrifice from my perspective

ultimately temperance is needed between grace and sinning, but I do not think that it is wise to go to the extreme extent of seeming apathy against whether you or other people are sinning or not as Feathers does sometimes

 

she seems to be a sincere Christian, and I do not blame her for her confusion on the scriptures because Jesus's will is not the easiest to understand, but that is why I personally pray and ask Jesus what his will is and ask for wisdom on a regular basis

Does it help to compare yourself and your faith with others?

It would be interesting to see Turq answer what she thinks Fae's doing better by comparison to herself over, I don't think she can do that.

 I mean...that might show some humility.

Focusing on sin before love seems like a very negative view to have. Why not focus on love primarily and sins secondarily, like Jesus and God themselves do? 

If you're more focused on sin that likely means that's weighing more on your mind than love is; an avoidance of doing bad as opposed to a focus on doing good. The fact that you still have plenty of sinful thoughts is precisely why you focus on them more than others might.

She thinks that no human is worth her jealousy as a matter of pride, so I don't imagine her ability to compare herself to others to yield admissions of where they are otherwise superior to herself.

I care about sin… I told bt how we gonna marry soon (maybe around a year). 

Don’t forget that love, mercy and kindness are commandments too…
