God lead me to the scriptures. Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more * * I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. ******************************************** 1 Corinthians 6 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. ********************************************* Galations 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery (sex outside of marriage), fornication(unnatural sex, i.e. homosexuality or beastiality), uncleanness (full of impure thoughts, lusting, thinking sinful things), lasciviousness (living in excess, having way much more than you need, excess luxury, ect) And as you stated "But fun does not equal sin". I completely agree. That which is against GOD, is sin. One who lives a righteous life can have as much fun as anyone else. They just find no fun in sinning. What further convinced me was observing those that thought they were choosing "fun". When you take a good look at their lives, they werern't really having fun. They were just using what they though was fun to cover their sadness. In Christ, RF |
