>What if…i'm not ready to leave my sins, what if the only answer to what has become of women is the 2nd dimension?
wut? Are you suggesting that because women are thots, porn is the only answer? What madness is this?
>What good is it to have the presence of God if we enviably sin, causing him to leave?
>implying implications.
God does not leave. Didn't you read Genesis 3? We hide from God.
Once God has adopted us, once the Holy Spirit is TRULY within us, it would be easier for God to leave all creation than abandon us.
>Can you tell me you can go a life with without sinning, and if you lie about that, it's also a sin.
No, of course I cannot. But perfect sinlessness is NOT the goal – that will come in the renewal of our bodies after the death of our flesh.
The goal is to STRIVE for perfection by the only means available to us – MORE of God in our lives.
BREATHE God. Eat and drink of God. Do everything in memory of Christ. Think on Him every minute. Make Him the focus of your life, learn to truly depend on the grace of the Holy Spirit within you, and I assure you sin will cease to enter your mind.
St Paul said that God told him, "My Grace is sufficient for thee." Read it again. God's grace – in the sacrificial and atoning death of Jesus Christ – is sufficient for you. Paul often wrote of his struggles with sin, and God says to Paul's thorn – be it a sin, a temptation, a trial, a pain, whatever – that God's grace was sufficient for Paul even as Paul begged for God to remove it. And this enabled Paul to write: "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength." ALL things. Even resist temptation.
>I'm not defending sin, but it's impossible to not sin, everyone lies, lusts, gluttons, ect. Why would God create/allow such a painful existence for himself, to watch his creation be swept away from him, or to have it fail trying to reach it's impossible standard.
Permit me a raucous guffaw at the smallness of your conception of God.
I'm not belittling the pain of God at the sight of our complete immersion in sin. Quite the reverse: to pure Holiness and pure goodness, even one sin is vile, disgraceful and worthy of a sinner's death.
What I want you to do is this: think hard on how much pain all of existence has caused God, look into every nook and cranny, every corner and alcove of hidden sins, of the vile things men and women do, and then, when you have considered this for a long enough time that you almost want to puke, RECOGNISE that Christ – second person of God – willingly told the Father, "Let me go and swim out to them through this sin-saturated mire they have immersed themselves in, for I will rescue them, and though they will never appreciate it, I will do this for Your sake that You may have a people who truly worship You, Father, for You are worthy."
… and then realise the DEPTH of God's astounding love.
These are the stuff of a life in Christ: fighting sin so that we may rely on God more, until we recognise that we cannot breathe but for pure grace, that, then, we may be ready to be in His presence. Look on your temptations as a means to grow ever more in Christ.
