Soap Week 3

Clint Hoek stra 's " That Sucker Jesus Has Forgiven Me for Some Pretty Bad Sin's" discusses prayer and sinning. Clint discusses how many Christians have a difficult time believing that a God or other diety could forgive someone for all their sins. He also implies the hypocrisy of those who murder and turn to religion once they have gotten themselves in trouble; and all those who take advantage of Jesus's forgiveness. Clint discusses how many people sin with the notion that God will just instantly forgive them, and in that way they do not take their religion as seriously as they should. Repenting and sinning are topics discussed heavily in the Bible in which case, the act of sinning to repent later is frowned open. Clint was trying to open the eyes to people who sin for the sake that they will always have time to repent later.

Application: Honestly, when you are about to commit a sin do you consider religion? If you do, do you put off asking God for forgiveness later because you know he will? How come?

  1. Usually when i commit a sin, I don't consider religion but at the same time, i have morals. I know what is wrong and right. But i believe that no one should take god's forgiveness for granted.

  2. I dont think about anything when i have committed a sin because i do not knowingly committ a sin and disregard the teaching of God. I'm not saying that I have not sinned but even then i did not think of my higher power and still disregard him .
