What's your big sin that you struggle with- your vice? How do you miss the mark?

[Yeshuasdaughter]

Let's admit to each other where we miss the mark

********

My vice?

I try to be a nice Christian mother. Living a quiet life. Trying my best to raise my daughter up in the way she should go. Trying to help out my relatives. Trying to be a quiet neighbor.

I really can and do forgive a lot.

If someone crosses me, almost always, I completely forgive and forget. And go on happily with my life.

But the minute someone crosses my family- my blood, I go hardcore back to them trailer roots.

Find out real quick what it's like to mess with someone who grew up without indoor plumbing.

But afterward, I feel guilty and pray about it.

And after that, I'll be filling the dishwasher, ruminating about what a little punk that person was for doing that to an elder or younger relative of mine.

Then I'll feel bad and pray about it again.

Then I'll be playing solitaire, and mutter under my breath about that little b word.

Then I'll pray for the person, and pray for forgiveness.

That's one of my big flaws.

What's one of yours?

 

[Rogue Princess]

My biggest sin is probably sloth. Neglecting myself and my needs. Not doing my housework, ordering out when I can't afford it because I don't want to cook. Perhaps gluttony too, I have a sweet tooth and foods the only thing that gives me pleasure.

Perhaps I would have more fun with sex, drugs and alcohol... But that's not me. I'd rather have an ice cream.

I try not to let people anger me. I don't like giving them the satisfaction of letting them in my head

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

I had a fondness for porn. All it did was to allow me to deny my feelings to establish an intimate connection with a real person. It also led me to think that sex was not a natural and normal part of life.

I feel terrible about that objectification of women, but I feel relieved that I never developed that impulse IRL.

Please do not think the worse of me.

Asmodeus is the demon lord of Lust
My favourite is Leviathan, the demon lord of envy. She's a sea monster and talks to me like an invisible friend that lives in my head. I'm friends with Lucifer (pride) and Beezlebub (gluttony) who is a dragon. We have tea parties but we don't like Satan (Wrath) or Asmodeus (lust) because they hurt me.

(It's why I'm the princess of Hell)
The Mad Hatters got nothing on me and my tea parties

 

[Aspychata]

I like the tea party idea. I guess my first guest is credit card fallen angel. Except at tea time, she would be ordering off of Amazon instead of conversing. I guess l would invite a mermaid, because l need her to take those hurt feelings that l need to let go of and sink them in the ocean. And l would invite Anonymous, (hacking specialist), to hack into my mom's virtual identity and just make her dissappear. This would probably be a 24 hour party if l had to list everybody coming.

 

[Metalhead]

Mine is wrath.

Wrath I try to bury with a massive entertainment library. That does not work very well.

I like the Mermaid idea. Taking away hurt feelings.

I like this Virginia Wolf quote

I'm no angel, do I need to write a list?

My biggest fault is Laziness, but in typical laid back fashion I've made it work for me. It's one of the reasons I was so good at my job, doing things properly first time around is so much easier and quicker than going back trying to fix mistakes.

I always related very strongly to the protagonist of Moving Pictures (by Terry Pratchett). He was supremely lazy, but always spent time exercising because it would be easier to move your fit body around than a sloppy one, and he excelled at studying, so he knew exactly what questions to answer and could stay in university forever without being expelled or graduating.

I related very strongly to him too. Victor? It's been a lot of years since I read that book.

 

[Wolfnox]

Got a lot forgiven over the years. Many different sins. No one sin is bigger than any other in the Lord’s eyes.
Hate is the one I have struggled with most. I hate myself, use to hate humanity for both personal reasons and the crucifixion of Christ.
I healed from the hate over the years. But, struggle occasionally with it. The self hatred is deep rooted. It’s a struggle every single day.
I strive to be better than who I was and am. Failing and rising up again.

What's one of yours?

I have many, I can judge and be critical of those with no faith, those I perceive to be self centered and bitchy and mean and narcissistic.
I love shopping and can love little splurges
I listen to secular music with swears
If I do not agree with God or understand I can often get cross
I cannot surrender or give God :control; because of my adhd and autism and the fact I do not bend my mind.
I get overly anxious and worried sometimes about difficult situations
I do not like being judged
As much as I value scripture because some rules are good and some of it has a point, I hate scripture based conversation and over dependence on it. Because instead of talking about how much.you love God and how much joy faith brings, people just talk about the scripture to death
I hate when people who use the no homosexuality scripture as a chance to judge gays etc or put them down or tell them to be more holy and give up sins..that is not a flaw but simply awful and worthy of hell flames. I know heaven is not earned but it depends on how far you go even if you do not agree with homosexuality, putting them down or being really aggressive about it using hate speech, should in fact end you in hell fires because it sounds really hateful and like you are hateful of them because you fear gays or homosexual etc behavior
But that is not flaw of mine
Anyway I am sure to have more guess I'm not perfect

 

[lovely_darlingprettybaby]

Drug addiction.

That is not a sin
That is no flaw of your own.
You are just a sick person who needs support in getting better.
Drug addiction is not a sin but an illness
Hope and pray you find healing xx

Yes hate is something every human struggles with at times, my hate with my trauma has become very large rooted in bitterness and resentment.
Hatred is such a heavy weight on the soul. We should both pray for God to release us of our hatred.
It is hard the world is very violent and greedy
And self hatred is not a sin. If you hate yourself then God cries but still loves you. God loves you even when you hate yourself though He cried each time you do.
It is something every human may experience at times because satan is the author of shame and self loathing.
But it is not sin but an illness.
A lot of people in the bible did not experience maybe self hatred but who knows but...
Inferior complex where they did not feel good enough
Please pray for healing of world and the miracle we need

The apostle Paul did for a time.

 

[lovely_darlingprettybaby]

The apostle Paul did for a time.

Yes so true so did Moses because he had a speech impediment or was not good at speaking and well he seemed to not always enjoy leadership
God does not always chose the qualified.

You know what they say great innovators and leaders in history are great because they were not afraid to make a mistake or get it wrong. I am afraid of it because of judgments because also I do not like thinking of right and wrong and think there is a line.
Are u happy to be the person who got it wrong well maybe u might have no choice if it is wrong because u feel like it is right to do it.
But in your heart you are like I do not care about right or wrong and just want to live my life doing my best with no awareness.
It is always right this, wrong that...I want to party a bit maybe and have fun and be loved.

 

[Slime_Punk]

My past? That's not a proper 'sin', either, but it's a regrettable part of me nonetheless.

I never really outright hurt anyone in the process (unless you count whining, being lazy, being annoying, being mostly unhelpful, etc), but being an alcoholic for 10 years kind of put a strain on relationships and stunted my growth as a human. While it's great that it's in the past now (coming up on 3 years, which is pretty crazy to me), I feel like I'll always be living in the shadow of my best self. Those years weren't a complete waste, but I feel like I could've been being a better husband, son, brother, etc in the meantime rather than being in the indulgence / recovery loop constantly.

Technically it's not a bad thing to have these negative emotions as a positive reminder of how you don't want to live your life, however, so I guess it's better to live and learn than to live and never learn

 

[Aecho]

Anger, especially when it comes to the world, heresy, and hypocrisy. I have a really difficult time reeling it in and staying calm, and I struggle to give it to the Lord. Also anxiety over perceived sin and disobedience, because I lack understanding of context so my brain can go haywire. Tbh I have a hard time keeping my head above water on most days it seems, which can send me spiraling even further down because I try so hard to just…be.
