You see, when I was a baby, I don't think I knew how to 'lust' over some girl, or if I cared about, really, what the world cares about today. This society in general, I'm speakin of.
Being innocent, I feel, is the farthest away from sin, as a human, that you will ever be. Cuse babies know nothing (maybe they do still, because we are born with a 'nature' within us), they don't really know much about sin yet. In my opinion, it gets introduced to them, as they grow, as this world gets more and more sinful. That is what is changing the generations to come. The world and society and community is changing. And if we were never introduced to it, I wonder how it'd be like, I'm sure we'd hafta worry about a lot less 'sin', or things that we have the knowledge of doing at this age in time. So that's why, I wanna be like a baby. But ofc, I want to have the decision and free choice as an adult. If only it could be possible for me to mature as an adult, but not be exposed or pervaded by sin. Just somehow, have a knowledge of "zero" of what sin is, because I don't think you can carry out an action or task of something that you don't even know existed. Basically, you can't think something, if it does not exist in your mind; like sin, in this case. I always thought if you know something is "possible to happen", then...it is definitely possible that it can happen. Right?!? lol. But if it is "not possible" in your head that something will happen, then it...WILL...NOT happen. Ofc, this applies to certain aspects only. More of the psychological aspect. It's like, you know how people say the expression (or maybe not): "I don't know what 'impossible'" is. I TOTALLY agree with that. It's because when you don't know what it is, or that it exists, just has nothing, no signal or trigger to you; then...it can not happen. That's what I believe. Iunno, you agree? Ok, so back to originally what I was saying, was going to refer to this:
1 Corinthians 14:20b:
"...In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults."
At the moment, I lust a lot. And I wonder, if I never grew up that way I am, would I still lust a lot? Both, with implications that: 1) The way I'm brought up as a child. 2) As an infant, we are not capable of...lusting? (don't know if true or not), because stuff about hormones and maturity?? Correct me if I'm wrong.
So, just had that thought, while I was lying on my bed one day (yet again).

hey conan! your idea of being able to escape sin by never knowing it MIGHT be theoretically possible, but realistically is simply irrelevant. sin is something that everyone has to go through, and it is how you deal with your sins that defines you as a person! choosing to fight it vs. embrace it totally depends on what you believe in.
sin, though powerful, is not something you have to go through alone. no temptation that we face is one that is uncommon to others around us. so talk to people about your struggles! and more importantly, God will never present you a sin that you cannot escape.
So instead of sulking and wishing that sin did not exist. You should focus more on what you can practically do to deal with the situation at hand.
hope this helps =)
hmmmm yes. Thanks for commenting.
