What are some evasions people use to avoid mourning their sins?
I think the greatest one would be that they have no sin, or that their sin isn't that bad. This is true especially among non-Christians, or Christians who don't really understand their faith.
A few weeks back my minister led the church in prayer, and one thing he said in his prayer was something along the lines of "forgive me father for not wanting to give up my sin". I think this is particularly true. Someone who has a sin of alcohol abuse may not really want to give it up, and so avoid mourning it.
Hello, I wish to use this Blog to discuss Christian bible studies. I hope people will respect my views, but accept and look forward to healthy (respectful) debate. As you read this you will find links to bible study pages. The first study I'm doing is "The Beatitudes", which is the "Sermon on the Mount" - Jesus' most famous sermon. Enjoy. Additionally, remember that the questions are in reverse order, as the Blog posts in reverse date order.
