If eating a banana while sinning, is that a greater sin than when eating no banana while sinning?

A sin is a sin is a sin. The same sin committed by one would not be as serious as one committed by another person.\n\nA banana is also another term for a co..k. The Bible has a lot to say against gays..if you get what I mean.\n\nSo it depends on the circumstances. You could you know maybe ... ah hell forget it..2 points\n\nst

Cue the snarky reply, "Can you prove he doesn't?" \n\nIn 5, 4, 3, 2....\n\nI'd sure like to see proof if there is any. But proof to me and proof to the religious is two entirely different things. Some would have us believe that bananas are proof.

do what you feel convicted to do. fasting is between you and God. if you feel convicted to not eat  a veggie burger, dont.

when you admit you are a sinner to Jesus, the lord, and ask for forgiveness then you will be forgiven and therefore saved. Once you sin again, you break your promise, but then you must repent.

Everyone is a sinner but if they ask for forgiveness from God they are set free. Not all sins are the same, some like shoplifting do minor damage to people while murder ruins entire families. Also the consequences are much greater, but God will forgive any sin if we just confess them and ask for forgiveness. When you have a personal relationship with Jesus you don't want to sin, you still do but you learn from them, and try not to do them again.

in my opinion no. you confess your sins to God and accept him into your heart and you are forgiven. the sins hang over your head kind of as a reminder to not do them again and that they are wrong

This question is genius,  so you are saying that because someone eats a banana its prove of evolution because monkeys also eat bananas.\n\nI don't think so, but some really really stupid evolutionist might say yes.

Nudity has nothing to do with it. The original sin is the disobedience to God.

Counter-Example: \n\nSo if I'm so angry with someone that I feel hate towards them and want to kill them, should I simply go ahead and murder them -- since I've already sinned and wanted them dead in my heart? \n\nOf course not.\n\nLooking at the context of the verse (Matthew 5:28), Jesus was dealing with men (Pharisees) who commonly thought it was okay to look lustfully at a woman as long as he didn't physically touch her. They made a distinction; God doesn't. He doesn't think it's okay to "use" someone internally, while just avoiding the pretense of sin on the outside.\n\nIt's a matter of the heart. God wants a good heart -- good motivations toward other people -- not JUST good external behavior.

Well I guess free thinking in  it simplicity isn't the sin, yet God knew when Eve ate the forbidden fruit, her free thinking would allow humankind to sin. He realized it was inevitable, that's why it's seen as sin-like. As for healing and medicine...we were meant to heal. It's our way of correcting the sin our "free thinking" caused.

errr....i kinda wish this question was better written.. but i'll try to answer it anyways...\nthe reason we sin is b/c God gave us that option.... if u sin.. its satan work... so dont sin?.. \n(this is harder than i thought)

Greetings.  First, it doesn't say that the "forbidden fruit" was an apple.  Second, it doesn't say that the "forbidden fruit" had anything to do with sex, intercourse or reproduction.  It was the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" that they were not to eat from (Genesis 3:1-8).  I think there is some symbolism in this passage and shouldn't be taken too literally.  Whatever the case, it was the ONLY fruit they were forbidden to eat.  The essence of the story is that it was disobedience and thus sin, a sin that brought separation between God and man.  The beautiful thing about the passage is that God gives a promise in Genesis 3:15 of a coming Deliverer (the "Emnity" he is called).  This Deliverer, whom both Jews and Christians believe to be a Messiah will deliver mankind from the spell of sin and the evil one and restore the world to it's original order.  As a side note, that is why genealogies become so important in the Bible.  Hope that helps.

When you forget sins during confession, its not your fault. Just confess them the next time you go to confession. When you hold back sins though... thats bad. You recieve twice the load.

how can poverty or being poor be a sin? ive heard sometimes being rich is easy to commit a sin. but not the other way round.

It would be a sin if I was religious, which i'm not. Anyway, I wouldn't care, because I wasn't the direct cause of the "murder". If I unknowingly caused a chain of events leading to a "death", it would be considered an accident, not murder. It's all about intentions.

God gave us a gift of choice - do the right thing or do the wrong thing, it's up to us to decide.  I don't think people say it is okay to sin, they just do it cuz they made the wrong choice.  Repenting is for the catholic religion, I am not catholic so I don't repent, I do ask for forgiveness (I guess that is a form of repenting) anyways - people will do what they want to do and how they want to do it - that is our God given choice.
