ok so i over exaggurate, but still theres soo much more focus on sinning. why is that
2006-12-08 14:18:08 · update #1
how could you possibly use "lol" in this question??
Because sinning is wrong, and being good is expected of a Christian even though we do sin like everyone else.

Why do people focus on the bad things in the world, why are there not forums about me opening a door for some one instead of forums about the genocide in Sudan? We were made to glorify God, by sinning we aren't glorifying him. And as far as what sins do to him, Sins hurt God. If you have kids (if you don't follow along) wouldn't you be hurt if one of them cursed you? Wouldn't you be hurt if they disobeyed you all day every day? And, also your point is wrong, read Job, Mathew, Mark, Luke, John, Exodus, Revelation, Titus, Psalms, Ecclesiastes (do you get the point) and you'll find that God doesn't always focus on sin. your whole philosophy is off.

And not on any old sin. Jehovah's number one interest in humanity is definitely how we have sex and who it's with. Kinda strange for an omnipotent being with the power to create a whole universe, isn't it? Maybe he's just lonely, what with there not being a Mrs. God around to give him some lovin' every now and again, so he obsesses over what humans do in the bedroom instead.

Wow!
God does not focus on sin - he can have nothing to do with it.
He is pleased by our love and service to others - and Jesus as well as others throughout the Bible encouraged over and over to love others and do good works.
How about the Golden rule, the cup of cold water..."be kind, tenderhearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ Jesus has forgiven you" - Ephesians 4:32
You haven't looked very hard if your reached that conclusion - or have some unfounded bias.
If you are not going to take time to study at least realize that we do not affect God's power (that is a bit presumtuous) and lol is offensive.

I'm assuming you're talking about GOD. Sins break His heart. He will never lose His power. He sent His own Son to die a cruel death in our place that we might have a better life & a way of escape from those sins that bind us. It's a slap in His face when we deny Him & refuse that gift.
As far as the "works" vs. "sin" part of your question, this should clear it up:
Ephesians 2:8-10 (New International Version)
8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 NOT BY WORKS, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

That might be what Christians say, but I'm sure God focuses on the good you do. But, it's like a parent: If ur child does good then you're happy in knowing he is going to live a good life. But if they do wrong then that's when you intervine, because you want what's best for them. & Sin does not effect God, he just wants what is best for us...

who is good?
Observe a toddler, He will fight for a toy that he wants and maybe hurt someone for it.. Where does he get that from?
We are born in sin who is good?
Just a lie is enough , just stealing something that doesn't belong to you is enough and everyone has done that.
its not 1000x more. He focus's on stuff that every1 does.

The Christian God will never lose power. Its to mans own harm is what happens when we sin. When people do good things it only helps society. And when they do good things in the name of God is when there is honor and shows faith to God

Not true. Many Christians do much good and bring joy where ever they go.
Sin, seperates one from God's plan for man, by interfering, in some way, with the unity of man or mankind. May you understand.
His love for sin seperates him from God. So, in a way, yes, it makes him lose his power.

He may seem like an uptight guy, but really it's that he's holy and not on the same level as humans.
He is above us and since he made us perfect we too used to be holy until the Fall in the Garden.
So, that being said, God finds sin to be an abomination because he himself is incapable of it and above us in nature.
Not being able to sin is his limitation.
