[QUOTE="mugen08, post: 5671402, member: 604981"] Yes. Did you not read what I wrote about repentance. Repentence is when one turns his back on sin, and vows not to do it anymore, and means it in his heart. That person has repented, and is forgiven, because he vows not to do it again. You are either living in sin or repentance. If you are willingly and consciously violating Gods will, you are living in sin. When you are living in repentance you are not under, nor do you live by the rules of sin. You are under God's grace. And that scripture that you just quoted was already touched on by me a few pages back; when you make the concsious decision to pursue an act of adultery you are no longer living in repentance, because you departed from repentence in your mind/ heart. I will be the first to tell you that I struggle with lust. But I do repent and really try, but I am weak when it comes to that, and being away from my wife for weeks at a time doesn't help. I really don't believe looking at a woman without the intent to have *** with her is a sin, although admiring does lead to that. What I meant by that was I get the same "feeling" when I am close to God. There is just a prescence there that you know is there. When you draw near to God, is when you can read the Bible, and it really makes sense to you. You just know it's right, and you know it's real. It's automatic. [/QUOTE]
