Is posting on the forums a sin?

no...why?? :confused:

depends on how you define 'sin', black.

no...why?? :confused:

Im going through a religious thing and i was just wondering :headbang:

Reading what you see on a forum and adopting those beliefs may be a sin to some here. Posting is a sin if your post is in fundamental disagreement with someone else's beliefs.

But everyone's a sinner. God loves a sinner.

ROFLMAO!! I was waiting for something like this!!

God loves a sinner.

love the sinner, hate the sin.

depends on how you define 'sin', black.

sin1
n.
A transgression of a religious or moral law, especially when deliberate.
Theology.
Deliberate disobedience to the known will of God.
A condition of estrangement from God resulting from such disobedience.
Something regarded as being shameful, deplorable, or utterly wrong.

intr.v. sinned, sin·ning, sins
To violate a religious or moral law.
To commit an offense or violation :headbang:

I hope not, I genuinely enjoy the religious debates until people start flaming.

DUDE! Here's a thought...if people think that posting on the forums is a sin...then no one would say that it was a sin, because they would not post seeing that to them, posting is sinful :headbang:

love the sinner, hate the sin.

god said that you cant reach heaven with sin :headbang:

I hope not, I genuinely enjoy the religious debates until people start flaming.

i smell something burning :headbang:

Don't bang your head too hard, black. You might hurt yourself.

So whose 'God' are you talking about?

Look at me. I'm a sinner. PIE ME!

Don't bang your head too hard, black. You might hurt yourself.

So whose 'God' are you talking about?

Pick one. And if you don't pick one, you're picking yourself by default.

Don't bang your head too hard, black. You might hurt yourself.

So whose 'God' are you talking about?

Jesus, God the Father, The holy spirit, The trinity. that god :headbang:

Well if it is I'm going to hell, anyway though if it is, you just commited it Mr. religious.

he'd post: REPENT SINNERS LEST YE BE DAMNED

Jesus, God the Father, The holy spirit, The trinity. that god :headbang:

Oh, the Christian 'God'. I see.

If you keep up with banging your head, you'll need a trip to the Emergency Room, black.

Am I the only one who really dislikes those animated doohickeys?

Dude what are you smoking

Curious that you immediately suspected a drug reference... a guilty conscience perhaps...

I only mean that, if you are breathing, you must be doing SOMETHING that is a biblical sin... pretty much.

But, take it your way... it works just as well.

you are right,

What would jesus prefer ; aardvark, or crucifiction

Oh, the Christian 'God'. I see.

I like banging :headbang:

WTF mate

More likely he'd post something in Aramaic, which no-one could read...but would likely say, 'I've been seriously misquoted - get me a publisher...!'

What does ROLFMAO mean? It sounds like somebody trying to pray and vomit simultaneously.

Why is posting a sin? What book lists this? New Testament? Old Testament?

You're a new convert? Let's see… in a few months you should have passed your "burn everything" phase… then you will be into the "burn only when appropriate" stage that I reside in. Of course, when I say burning I do not mean flaming. Flaming is eful.

Make love to a sinner, so that s/he returns the favour. :D

Onto a loser here... this thread doesn't understand the 'English' sense of humour, apparently.

I think it was in the Really, Really New Testament.

The Book of Zaphod 2:16 "Thou shalt issue forth graven images upon thy lap top"...

That a jar of Almond Butter (similar to peanut butter, but much tastier!) is $8.00 at Stop & Shop!!

Make love to a sinner, so that s/he returns the favour. :D A perfect example of bad Bible translation :rolleyes: .

im not a new convert just someone going through a period of trials Trial of faith, trial by fire/water, trial of skill, what kind of trials? What does it have to do with posting on the forum? :confused: .

WHO VOTED YES?

I chose "Jar of Almonds", of course.

Doohickey? DOOHICKEY?

Huh? Doohickey. Thingamabob. Whatsits. You know.

ROFLMAO? I dunno, I thin you've got it right, though. I don't know why it's a 'sin', I don't know what book it's supposed to be in, either testament. I'm not a new convert, I'm not a convert at all. Burning things is fun, though. Like bonfires.

You're confusing me-!

we're getting a bit off topic

lets kill the messanger why don't we! sheesh

Okay, let's. Who's the messenger?

If I understand you correctly... I think the same is true for most of the English/American posters...

Bite me :upyours:

aha, this whole thread is just an advert for almond butter, (available now from all good stores $8.99)

Funny

you'd better belive it im getting paid $10 an hour

Okay...on the original topic:
Posting in itself is not a sin. It depends on what you post. Posting something that dishonors God is sinful.

My friend you have issues
No, i have humour. Try to get some, it isnt expensive and does not hurt.

now i bid you all farwell for i must go where the living cant follow

If I understand you correctly... I think the same is true for most of the English/American posters...
I'm American in a first year German class, and I can definitely say my german is not better than my English. :p

Bite me :upyours:

Ah, yes... the great prophet of "Bite Me"... correctly spelled 'Bette Moh' in the original Hebrew, of course.

Only mentioned in the Apocryphal Gospel according to St. B'stard... lived in the year 13BC, and spent his non-apostlic days making daisy-chains...

I'm American in a first year German class, and I can definitely say my german is not better than my English. :p

No, but it is quite incredible how bad the English of many American/English people really is.

Nope, he is about to be smitten for posting on a forum.

The afterlife?

It's a sin, but sinning is so fun!

*goes around sinning some more*

:D

I like mine on toasted rye bread with an "America's Best Iced Coffee". :)

Seriously, there's a good market for almonds.
If I didn't live in Connecticut, I'd be growing almond trees somewhere... maybe in South Carolina or California...

Of course it`s a sin, it`s tempting and given I`m in Mexico and still posting on this is a great example.

would you be doing that, with a tub of ALMOND BUTTER $8.75 from most stores ?

Why does everyone have to put a negative slant on death :headbang:

It's A Sin - Pet Shop Boys


When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

Everything I've ever done

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

Forever with a sense of shame

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa)

and to you my brothers,
that I have sinned exceedingly
in thought, word, act and omission,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault"]

Well... we were talking about sins and the afterlife... and.. there IS a light that never goes out.... :)

YES posting is a sin
we should pass a law disallowing obsessive posters the right to marry, it is destroying the sanctity of marriage!

Reading what you see on a forum and adopting those beliefs may be a sin to some here. Posting is a sin if your post is in fundamental disagreement with someone else's beliefs.

But everyone's a sinner. God loves a sinner.

Everyone is not a sinner, you hae to sin to be a sinner...and I don't sin.

--Everyone is not a sinner, you hae to sin to be a sinner...and I don't sin.

You've got Pride and lying right there.
You might not be sinning right now, but you're still a sinner.

Now back on topic.
Q: Is posting on the forums a sin?
A: Only if you're Amish.

god! i leave for a couple of hours and every thing goes to $%^T:headbang:

Nope, never sinned in my whole life. Sin is a concept totally alien to me. So... no sin, no sinner.

No, we LOVE hearing anyone bitch, especially someone Asian. We promise not to laugh. It's a girl, right?

I'd say you were starting to sound like a troll, but I think you're making fun of trolls...

I just don't accept the whole idea of sin and I think its rather assumptious to call everyone a sinner...if someone want to consider themself a sinner, thats fine with me...but leave the rest of us out of it. I just don't buy the whole "sin" thing...i

leave my stress filled life out of the forums. the last thing antone wants to hear is an angry asian bitch about his problems :headbang:

Not trying to be funny, but if you're Asian and so angry, shouldn't you have broken that brick wall with your head by now?

No, we LOVE hearing anyone bitch, especially someone Asian. We promise not to laugh. It's a girl, right?

not realy. its more of a compound of issues realy (girls included) but hell who cares about me? Lets talk about the reason i made the thread: Is Posting On The Forums A Sin? :headbang:

Not trying to be funny, but if you're Asian and so angry, shouldn't you have broken that brick wall with your head by now?

good point, but mocking trolls is fun, isn't it?

im trying but its steel re-inforced :headbang:

Ouch. Okay, but as we say in the southern US, yer gonna hurt yer tater.
As for posting, I don't believe it's a sin. But some of the topics can get kind of worrisome. Especially the ones that bash the US or good ol' President Bush. I LOVE that man!

good point, but mocking trolls is fun, isn't it?
well, yes..but we all have a little bit of troll in us...lurking there...ready to spring out at any moment...I call my troll Buddy.

Whose definition of sin are you using?
My definition of sin is failing to do what God wants me to do, and I fail like that all the time, even though I've committed myself to following Jesus Christ.
The Bible says that "all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), so you're obviously not taking the Bible as being authoritative.
So, again, could you please give your understanding of what sin is?

sin1
n.
A transgression of a religious or moral law, especially when deliberate.
Theology.
Deliberate disobedience to the known will of God.
A condition of estrangement from God resulting from such disobedience.
Something regarded as being shameful, deplorable, or utterly wrong.

intr.v. sinned, sin·ning, sins

What do you think the Bible's definition of sin is?

Greek word: hamartia means 1. to miss the mark, 2. to be in a state of imperfection. 3. to be lacking or missing something essential, 4. to not get the point

Thats not me.

Really? You believe you are absolutely perfect and complete, without error or misunderstanding?
My instant reaction is to find that overwhelmingly arrogant, but maybe I'm missing something (see defn. 4!).
Interestingly, I think you're defining sin exactly the same way I am, just in different language.

Nope...I believe EVERYTHING is absolutely perfect, complete and without error.

We have different points of view, I think everything is has it should be, i don't see anything wrong with the world, life or the universe...everything to me is going just fine, everything is good. Would I be presumptious to say that you most likely see the world and all of creation as flawed and corrupted?

It depends upon the religion. Most religions (including most Christian denominations) do not consider posting on a web forum per se to be an offense. Thus, whether or not posting something specific on a webforum is a sin generally depends upon whether saying that same thing out loud and in person is a sin. Proclaiming the glory of God on a webforum is not a sin. Discussing a secular topic on a webforum is not a sin. Claiming on a webforum that God does not exist is a sin. Posting a threat against someone else on a webforum is a sin (and probably a violation of the Terms and Conditions of whatever webforum it is you're posting on).

The Amish have a ban on all recent technology; it's use is a sin. ...but you wouldn't be posting on this site at all, if you were Amish.

In Catholicism (and any other Christian demonimations where Lent is practiced; I don't know if that's all the denominations), posting on a forum during Lent* is a sin if and only if you chose to swear off any use of computers or webforums for the duration of Lent.

You're right, we do have different points of view.
I do not think everything is as it should be, I see plenty of things wrong with this world, and I don't think everything is going just fine. I am certain that not everything is good.
I do believe that there is good in the world, but that, yes, the world and all of creation are flawed and corrupted.
I believe God is carrying out His plan to put creation right again, and I believe He's chosen me to work with Him, along with everyone else who trusts in Jesus Christ.

Well, if by posting you are ending life or harming someone, it is a sin. But posting itself is not a sin. Unless you are posting kiddy porn, or your computer is made of meat byproducts.

The Bible says that thou art to create a Forum to debate me. NS is this, no? lol

I believe God is carrying out His plan to put creation right again, and I believe He's chosen me to work with Him, along with everyone else who trusts in Jesus Christ.

And you called me arrogant? How do you think that sounds to non-christians when you say things like that?

In regars to the sin thing---its the whole water glass debate---is it half-full or half empty...to me it would be half full whereas to you pessimist that you are--half empty

I'm not setting myself up in a special category here; I think this applies to all Christians equally. For those who aren't Christians, they don't think my worldview is accurate, so why are they (including you) upset if I believe I'm on God's side? You can be as well, if you want to.
Please explain the relevance of the water glass containing 50% water and 50% air. It doesn't seem a good model for talking about perfection; you claimed that you are perfect, and that everyone and everything else is as well.

Future...I don't want to seem rude or like I am trying to avoid the subject, but i really don't want to hijack this thread by discussing theology with you in it...if you would I would be more than pleased to discuss it further with you on another thread dedicated to the matter.

Fair enough, we are a little off topic. I'll see you on Ghannas Desh's "Your beliefs are wrong" post, unless you have a preferred suggestion.
For the record, I believe the sin or sinlessness of a forum post depends on whether God agrees with what the poster posts.

NO you can't! Go buy some NOW!

These lyrics become so much clearer now

Drowning Pool
Sinner

Bend me shape me misdirect me
It's all the same to me
Look at all this useless talk
You look at me but you don't see
Understand I'm a sinner
Don't corner me
Don't lecture me
Raise your hands you're a sinner
Is this everything you wanted find another dream
You never hear a word I say
So pray
I'm a sinner
Look at all these people in front of me
Look at all these people in front of me:how

I'm hoping that no one has mentioned this before...

If I were Amish, then posting on this forum, and even coming to this site using my computer, would be a sin, as the Amish do not believe in using the latest technology.

Gees this got realy weird

Well.. according to this definition posting on the forums is a sin IF all of the following conditions are met:
a. You write down G-d with an o on the place of the - in a post.
b. You consider the above word to be a name.
c. You believe that Deuteronomy 12:3-4 states (amongst other things) one should not erase the name of the supreme being.
d. You are aware that posts get deleted automatically, so by posting the name you put it up for deletion.

Interesting observation: this would mean that almost all of the people who post inflammatory articles on this board in name of G-d/Christ are in fact sinners themselves. Unless they have one of the translations where this passage is translated completely differently of course.
Aren't translation errors in commandments fun ?

This was your token serious post in a silly topic.

Posting on the forum is not a sin in itself. However, it is possible to sin while posting.
