How can you be happy and not SIN...?

Question

I've heard people say, live life to the fullest. Life is shor, live to the fullest. But anything that brings happiness or some sort of happiness is almost always shrouded by SIN. How can you live life, in the way you want to live it, to the fullest without SIN being an issue?

Answer 1

Become an atheist and you don't have to worry about following any code of coduct but your own and the laws of your country.

Answer 2

I would disagree that anything that brings happiness is shrouded by SIN. I would be more specific, but you did not give any examples, so I will give one: sex was created by God to be enjoyable by united male and female. Any normal human being can attest to this. This is not sin, but engaging in sex outside of marriage, or with someone other than your spouse is sin, because it degrades the original beauty. It's like you're throwing God's gift back in his face. As for the other commandments, don't murder, don't steal, don't make false idols, don't hate, etc, I don't see how any of those bring happiness.

Finding a rewarding career, being proud of your kids, hanging out with friends, none of these actions need to be sin.

By the way, the people saying "live life to the fullest" are usually not christians, as christians know that happiness here on earth is fleeting, true happiness will be found in heaven. And don't mistake temporary gratification for happiness, they are different.

Answer 3

Muhammed-God Prophet- said literally "Enjoy the life as you will live forever and work for reaching heaven as if you are going to die tommorrow"

If you can decide where medium should lie between two edges, then this is where you should be focusing your efforst to manage the best of the two world (Life and after death)

Also, Muhammed statement shows that we can be happey and enjoy life without Sins. Yet, if only sins would make you happey, then enjoy it your own way but do not cry on Judgement day.

Finally, Certinally there are great joys without sins as:
Getting Exterme orgasm with your beloved wife.
Making money through honored work.
Your children smile.
A Mentally enriching group of people.
Friends that share value with you.
Sports Practice without gambelling.
Delicious Juce without alcohols.

Yet, I can agree that Sins offer more for less efforts but the rewards are only momentarily (Part time Job Vs Full Time Job) and the pay is really very poor(Hell)

So it is always your choice.

Answer 4

Ok as long as you believe in whatever you believe or you don't kill anyone, sleep with family, or steal from anyone, etc...anyhting that bad. Sex isn't sin to begin with. It's a matter of YOUR own standards at what age is exceptable enough. It's not a sin but rather your own morals and standards. Also, if you think someone is pushing you down and hurting you even if it's family, you can just ;eave. Again, it's a matter of standard and morals you grew up with in your household. There is no good or bad. There is right or wrong. Some people believe something is sin while others don't. It's not good or bad, it's if you think it's right or wrong. God and Jesus are your conscience and your spiritual guide. You don't need the church speaking for you telling you what is right or wrong. God will tell you on your own by your conschience and you're way of thinking.

Answer 5

23Sin pays off with death. But God's gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

Sin always leads to death. The end result never changes. I’m not saying if you sin you will fall over dead on the spot, you won’t. But it will bring misery and suffering. Example it’s fun to have sex outside of marriage. But afterwards that sin can bring Death, I.E. Aids, unwanted pregnancy, etc.. etc.. So one night of sex could kill your body, kill your freedom, (try doing stuff with a baby around, not so easy) Kill your finances (try buying all those drugs so you don’t die as quickly from HIV, or pampers and baby wipes for that Kid you didn‘t want.) The fun of sin is only for a brief moment, the pain it brings can be a lifetime, and beyond (eternity) This is just one example of how sin can destroy you I could give you dozens more with hundreds of consequences.

When your life is in order and things are peaceful because you follow God’s way instead of your own there is great Joy that comes. When you begin to follow God the peace you get is so much greater than the momentary gratification of sin. You really can’t explain it. It’s just something that needs to be experienced.

18-19 The ways of right-living people glow with light; the longer they live, the brighter they shine. But the road of wrongdoing gets darker and darker— travelers can't see a thing; they fall flat on their faces. Proverbs 4:18

Answer 6

Sin will always be an issue, but true happiness comes from not sinning. Do things in life that benefit others, and you will be happy. Have sex with someone that will love you forever inside a marriage relationship, dance in the rain, play make believe with some kids, ride your bike... When you were a child you had the best kind of fun, and it didn't require going against the Bible.

Answer 7

everyone is born with sin, look at the world we live in, you can live life to the fullest, or at least try. Yes sin is every where and it's fun there's good sin and there's bad sin, just ask for forgiveness, but just remember the night you lose yourself completely could be the night when your life ends. Life is to short, but don't regret it, you only have one shot at it, make the best of it, you don't need the bad stuff to be happy.
Believe me i don't. I use to think so :)

Don't trip, potato chip!

Answer 8

I used to do things that were sin and thought they were fun. I don't think that way anymore. Actually, looking back on it now, I wasn't having fun at all. Drinking and getting drunk, running around with guys....I was a sad girl.

Since I came to know Jesus and the bible, my happiness comes from knowing Him and doing the things He asks me to do.

It's a change of heart, and only Jesus can change you. You have to want to change though. I'm so glad I now lead a pure life and don't chase after the things I used to. I'm much happier, full of peace. God has given me a fragrant garden to live in.

By the way, not everything fun is sin. But when you come to love Jesus....you will see the emptiness of those old pursuits. God has things that are healthy for you and will truly fulfill you.

Answer 9

Believe it or not, everything isn't a sin. There are a lot of things to do which are fun and not sins. Guess it depends on what you're into. Paragliding, parasailing, mountain climbing, horseback riding, baseball, soccer, camping, fishing, reading, watching movies, sailing, skiing, etc.. You don't have to sin to have fun, be happy and live life to the fullest.

Answer 10

there is no other happiness than that u find in Jesus. they call it ever lasting. i know living life to the fullest is mostly accompanied by sin. sin is something very powerful to escape from but we can redure it as we go on. just learn to ask for forgiveness.

How to Install LOVE!

Tech Support: Hello ... how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install
Love. Can you guide me through the process?
Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready.
What do I do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you
located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now.
Is it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running ?
Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge
and Resentment running right now.
Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt
from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent
memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will
eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called
High
Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and
Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed.
Can you turn those off ?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke
Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and
Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that
normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base
program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get
the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error
- Program not run on external components." What should I do?
Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set
up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart.
In
non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before
you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?
Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the
following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your
Limitations.
Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The
system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty
programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all
directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely
gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files.
Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying
themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but
eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed
and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be
sure
to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in
turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.
Customer: Thank you, God.
