@Tom, I believe the appropriate attitude toward sin after it has been committed is to regret it; not to defend it. We sure all sin, but no one of us is due to defend what he/she trips over. That is spiritual dishonesty. Which is purposely engaging in sin, like making a commitment that is against the scriptures, which differs from one that just falls to such, unprepared. It’s like a married man that takes a lifetime engagement to live with a mistress. It is different from one that falls to it and stand up to continue his walk in Christ. Spiritual dishonesty nullifies the power of the word of God in us and just results in unbelief; it nullifies the power of the holy spirit in us. How will God set us from things we ourselves are approving, it’s like God is going against our will. No matter how delighted we are with it, but if God forbids it, then we have first to stand against such, and take resolve to withstand it, then God can and will set us free from it. We don’t caress evil, just because we delight in it, that’s idolatry. God is the one to tell what is right and what is not, what is sweet and what is bitter, Isaiah 5:20.
Let’s stand up Brother, and let’s not dilute the word of God, nor handle it deceitfully.
Help is available if we can be meek and learn from him, Matthew 11:29. God bless you.
