Psalm 14 - No one seeks God! 

Agreed!

@@liteweightpup2561 that's good!

Welcome to the Dojo. That's what we do 'round these parts. :)

@@KCMasters 15 comes first.

Number of mentions of "seek*" in the Bible: 266. Number of mentions of man seeking God: 60-80+. Psalm 27:8 KJV - When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

I found that some of my deeds were vile. Surprisingly, because I was a "good" girl. That didn't stop me from making a horrible mess of my life, before I was even a teenager. I didn't mess up my life allone, but some of my reactions to the traps laid by the devil were foolish, and were not good. I trust in Jesus, and He said that He did not come for the righteous, but for sinners, to bring us unto salvation. That causes me to realize that I do not do well to pretend I am not a sinner. If Jesus came into the world only for sinners, that's who I am, and I am grateful. I would rather know I am a sinner, and that Jesus came to save us, than feel falsely self justified. I can only speak for myself, although I do see some of the sins of self-righteous people sometimes, enough to see that their assertions of no sin is a lie. Other times, I cannot argue with someone who asserts that they are deserving of good and I am deserving of bad. I might suspect that they are being dishonest, but I don't know enough to point it out. I have only the word of God, that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. This is why I can't agree, on the face of it, with people who decry "sin-leveling", although there are some times that equivocating sins can be done dishonestly, for a dishonest purpose. There is still the fact that God's word shows that there is a levelling in the fact that we are all sinners in His eyes. After all, He loves us, and gave himself for us. He has concluded us all under sin, so He can show mercy to all.

I have tried to treat others as I would be treated, so I have no real regrets. I don't feel "justified" or "self-righteous," I don't feel the need to be those things. As the song says, "regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.

@@joestfrancois The man who says "regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention", does not truly regret the sinful things he's done. It breaks my heart. He glorifies only his pride, and refuses a contrite heart. What good is that, especially to him? He refuses the comfort of having a contrite heart, comforted by God, and refuses God's love, refusing to draw near to Him. I hate that song.

@@lindajohnson4204 wrote "He glorifies only his pride, and refuses a contrite heart. What good is that, especially to him?" I don't "glorify" anything about myself. You are making little sense. I am not prideful, not in the way you are talking about. You keep talking about sin and being contrite. I see no evidence that this "sin" exists. You are asserting things for which you can give no evidence.
