But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1:15 KJV

"You did not select an option to vote for. Please press back to return to the poll and choose an option before voting."
An inadequate question if ever there was one.
Inadequacy #1: Lumping sexual orientation, sex before marriage, and deliberate transgression of the marital contract together as if they are in any sense the same thing.
Inadequacy #2: Assuming that everyone who participates in the poll agrees that the above lumped concepts are all sins.
Inadequacy #3: Headlining a thread based on Inadequacy #2 with another question, worded as if you're NOT doing Inadequacy #2.
Also, I second the motion to move this to an actual RELIGION board.

You want to make excuses for your wicked thoughts, proven by your answer to your ridiculous poll.
I am a man who has been delivered from sin and yet wrestles with sin. I chose to ask the questions on the more common or base sins.
I could have concentrated on spiritual sins, but most people would have had difficulty comprehending that. It seems as if is beyond the capacity of most people.
Maybe two other options:
I don't know.
I don't care.

Hey ad hominem, if you don't have a rational response to criticism of your statement, reevaluate your statement. (Rational people 100,000 B.C. - 2015 A.D.)

Based on your response to the poll, you were only delivered from the poll choices you selected. You don't believe the fist poll choice is a sin because you still struggle with sin in that way.
The fact you use fictitious numbers means the statement was accurate, called for and stands.
If you read and understand the scriptures I posted you'd know why I didn't choose option 1.

The fact that you can't understand an implied "circa," nitpick that single detail, and AGAIN refuse to actually address my criticism of your opening statement just piles up the evidence that you have nothing to counter it.
There is nothing that you have to say that I want to hear. There is nothing that I have to say that you can hear.

Then what was the point of posting in the first place, if you're just going to automatically ignore the responses of anyone who disagrees with you?
Which appears to be everyone who responds.
I don't discus anything with anyone who is blatantly antagonistic towards the truth. As far as I'm aware I have never entered into a thread you have started and I have no intention of doing so.
The real question should be as to why conservative Christians insist on placing such an emphasis on these kinds of sins when any reading of the New Testament would reveal it to be far more critical of religious hypocracy and judging others.
The OP quotes from James, a marginal book, that Luther referred to as an "epistle of straw" and makes only 2 direct references to Christ in the whole letter.

''But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man''......that's why.
'Prove all things; hold fast that which is good'......that's why.
'Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of Elohim''....and that's why.
- They are all sin, thus in this regard they are the same thing.
- This poll was intended for only those who believe them to be sins.:dunce::duh:
- You're a moron.
Two of the three sins listed in the poll question are treated by secular society, and even many Christians, as though they are not sins.
As for "judging others" the admonitions in the Bible are against judging hypocritically. So the two sins you mentioned actually go hand in hand.
