Ben, We are all sinners but Christ died for our sins. You can become a Christian and you're still gonna sin. We are only human, this doesn't excuse sinning, and we should ask forgiveness for our sins, but God knows we are gonna mess up. The hard part for me is defining what is messing up and what isn't....I don't really think that masterbation is a sin but that's just my opinion. We have the bible to go by but it's often confusing and open to different interpretations. What I do is read the bible, ask other people, pray, and just go with what I think is God's will is....sometimes he actually gives me little hints, I believe, but not very often. A sin is anything that seperates us from God, but that is pretty wide open, too. My advice......just make sure God is first in your life and you have nothing to worry about. I'd love to talk to you some more.....please e-mail me privately if you want to. Don |
