Hi GiGi: In this quote from your reply to me you have hit the nail right on the head with what you said at the very end which I highlighted.
"Good afternoon, Momsage, I am one who thinks that faults and propensities in our personalities and character can be considered sinful. If one has a quick temper, is easily provoked, unwilling to forgive offenses, is self-seeking, envies, prideful, thinks evil thoughts, or any number of "faults' or "weaknesses" one is sinning with these faults/weaknesses when we give in and let them be expressed." What you have listed, despite what you believe, are not faults, they are sins. The American Heritage Dictionary defines fault/weakness (these are the same thing) as minor character flaws. There is nothing minor about sin. Do you think the wages God promised us if we are sinning don't count because you believe in the sinning/christian doctrine: that you can't help behaving this way because of your human nature?
