sin

(1/1)

kimba1:
I`ve been hearing lately that if you have lust in your thoughts it is a sin. but what about anger & envy?

hnumpah:
Envy would be covered under 'thou shalt not covet...'

Anger, since everyone gets angry at one point or another, I don't believe is specifically covered, but how you react to that anger is. There is a commandment about respecting your mother and father, and one about committing murder, both of which might be an end result of anger out of control, as would be using the creator's name in vain.

kimba1:
I thought covet was lust?
I even admitted i did that sin every other day til they moved out. I feel no guilt about it at all due to my absolute belief it was not voluntary. as long as i took no action(like i had a chance)
I covet all over the place,but never did anything about it. I just think of it as recreation and leave it at that.

There is a lust component, but it goes farther than that: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house,  thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."

kimba1:
I didn`t do any of the other`s and have no desire at all. I`m good
