Here are some verses that tell us that thoughts can be sins.
"For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person.” (Matthew 15:19-20a)
"28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart"
Matthew 5:28
I still don't understand your difference between a trespass and a sin. Can you please list some examples of both.
Is murder or adultery a sin or just a trespass against men?
It IS the “natural spirit of man”…which IS what God “Rebirths”.
The “natural spirit of man”…
IS that mans “Natural Thoughts, Truths, Beliefs”…..” IN HIS HEART”.
(which may or may NOT be the Same Thoughts, Truths, Beliefs in his MIND)
So, sure there ARE Scriptures About the “thoughts” in a mans (natural spirit IN his Heart)… And natural thoughts in his MIND…
Do your quoted Scriptures Apply to a man, whose SPIRIT has been Born Again?
No.
As men grow and mature, they MAKE choices regarding their Natural lives…AND Spiritual Lives.
When a man chooses to Surrender his Life unto Gods “Offerings of Forgiveness, of soul restoration, of spirit rebirth, of becoming MADE “yoked” in a one on one Forever Relationship WITH the Lord God Almighty…
That is a Permanent and Forever change IN and OF that man.
Thereafter… the Umpteen, Warning Scriptures, How to Scriptures, Damnation Scriptures, IF / Then Scriptures…. BECOME “Moot”, “Irrelevant”, “Not Applicable”.,
To man ALREADY Sanctified….
AND
ALREADY Prepared To be Redeemed On the Day your Savior Summons you TO
Wholly, body, soul, spirit Be With Him, In His Presence, and SEE Him “as He IS” Spirit.
Is murder or adultery a sin or just a trespass against men?
How to Know?
Can you murder or kill or commit adultery Against God?…
Yes? Then that would be a Sin.
Against men?…
Yes? Then that would be a Trespass.
Can “Non- Sanctified Human men, (without) Gods Power/ Spirit in them?
Kill / Murder God?
Strangely yes…
How?
With ammo, knives, swords?
No.
How?
By their “natural thoughts, Heart or Mind…”
And “natural speech, from Heart or Mind…”
Believing, speaking That God does Not Exist and Gods Word IS Not True.
Satan was declared the First Murderer…
When he thought in his heart… That “he” (Satan) could have such great power, That he could Rule OVER God.
John 8:
[44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Lying About God and His Word, Is the Sin of Murder…
And does Not apply to they who Are Forgiven and Sanctified.
Humans are born in sin, thus require Learning and Accepting the Truth…
For forgiveness and A MAKING of restoration.
Angels were created With the Truth, and thus have no “offering of Forgiveness”, when they Lie.( Kill the Truth).
A Conjunction… combines something different… that can have ( not exact) but Similar Results.
God Created… humans… done deal.
AND THEN…
God Made… something for Every Created Human…
The Creation, is Established…
The MAKING “continues”…as human men freely, hear, learn, pick, choose, decide, take, reject…
IF they want to Accept and Take or Reject Gods Offerings…
Conjunctions…
Gen 2:
[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which
God created and made.
Gen 2:
[7] And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Eph 1:
[1] And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses
and sins;
Against God…Unbelief in God IS Sin. Turning Gods Truths into Lies is The Sin of Murder.
Against man…lies, cheating, stealing, raping, stabbing, ramming their vehicle, burning their home, killing a man, etc. are all Trespassing of man Against man.
Glory to God,
Taken
