Sometimes we forget that.

The question is a paradox.
If you believe in God, why would you sin?? You know He is watching.
But you say you would not sin in front of God. Would you sin directly in front of God on purpose??? You do everyday------------its just food for thought.

I think people definately try to ignore the fact that God watches them and is All Knowing All Seeing, people who live their life like He doesnt know what they do are hypocrits, because they deny what they already are aware of.........I personally live like I am continuously watched by God and I dont fear anything for that, which makes me feal safe but as I am human I have obviously sinned(gotten angry etc.) but I never tried to hide it.

properly that is a fantastic question and it ought to have 2 diverse solutions: one being what i'd do and yet another what i imagine people usually would do... a million. i in my opinion does no longer replace a lot...i think i'm a fantastic man or woman at heart and would proceed to do the right element. The darker fringe of my ideas would have extra impact now that there is no longer a higher skill to respond to to, and that would reason some complications even as it is composed of moral judgements. All and all although no longer a lot would replace for me besides the hopelessness that would stay interior me that the holy spirit used to live in. 2. the international would replace alot...it would properly be solid it would properly be undesirable, even though it would replace there is little question in my ideas. The holy wars would quit...and random acts of evil would upward push...the goodness of the international will be held up merely via the few solid people left in this international. I dont believe humanity as an entire would live on lengthy with out the divine protection of God...yet although I dont believe humanity as an entire is quite solid to commence with. there is a great deal extra that i ought to write about this challenge...its one in each of my faviortes to contemplate of even as I sit down and stare on the sky. If all of us reads this and would see my digital mail be at liberty to get a keep on with up. Mike

I know, we are what we are. God knows what we are.
We make choices, right? But can we choose to be different than what we are??
Therefore I sin (or I "TRY" not to).
A question of Free Will isn't it? Is there such a thing? Or is it Fate? Why should I "TRY" if it's going to happen anyway???
Besides, the Devil made me do it.
Food for thought, yes...but then again, I'm just an amoeba.

This is some kind of riddle. If God is already watching us and seeing everything we do and say, how could we live differently from what would already be happening? The answer is No, even if God existed, the paradox that you created with this question cannot be answered Yes, since there is never a difference in what there is and what there is.

Deciding to behave differently is actually
the decision to live your life in the manner in which you personally benefit from the most.
In ALL areas. This is decided upon (and it is only a very personal decision)
not to "please" God.
There is no "wrath of God"
God is not keeping score
It is a sort of "recipe" offered by God when studied, understood, TRULY believed, and practiced
takes ALL dreams, desires, wishes, goals, longings, etc,etc....
from thought to fruition in all areas of our life experience.
Now how do I know?
I live it.
God is always "watching" :)

I make every attempt to live in His will, and knowing that He is watching sometimes gives me a little extra motivation to do the "next right thing for the next right reason."

Believing that something invisible is watching you and influencing your life is one of the symptoms of schizophrenia.
Schizoid delusional mental disorder if often well treated by taking zyprexa (use only as directed, see a doctor).

If questioned by God about how i lived my life my answer would be " but i am made in your image, am i not". This life is your own heaven or hell, enjoy your time here.

the 'paradox' is easily solved by pointing out christian god, like ganesh, zoltar, ra, odin, allah and the lot of them is imaginary.

Prisons are full of religious and believing people who stole, cheated and murdered. They knew the ten commandments, they "knew" about purgatory, still...
