I seem to remember a post way back there that I meant to reply to but didCaroline:
not have time. You said something about sin being a spirit being. I don't
think I have ever heard that concept before. Can you elaborate on this too?
Are there any passages of Scripture where you perceive sin as a spirit
being? Is it only one spirit being, or are there many spirit beings called
sin? I'm having trouble grasping exactly what you mean.
There is one metaphor in Genesis when God warned Cain that "if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it." Gen 4:7
There is another metaphor in Romans when Paul wrote: "..sin sprang to life and I died...For sin seizing the opportunity, deceived me and... put me to death." Rom 7
It almost seems as if sin has a life and a will of it's own. I guess it's the difference between cleaning cat fur off the furniture and washing the cat itself. In one situation, you have to keep your wits about you.
