@Knittinggrace @sinbach We no longer live under the law, but under grace. God did not come to condemn us but to save us. He longs for us to work together as one, to have each others backs and lift each other up. In fact, the world will know us by our love for each other.

Jesus said that he came so we might have life and have it to the fullest.

Are you living under grace, or under the law? Is your motive to build up or tear down other believers? Do you show the same grace you want God to show you? Do you walk in pride or humility? Is love your underlying reason behind what you say and do?

I can't answer these questions, I don't know what is going on in your heart, I don't know what your motives are, thats between you and God. You ask about sin, but that is not something for me to say, only you know that.

All I can speak for is myself, and there are times I say and do the "Right" things, but my motives are wrong, so in those times for me it is sin.
