"The Subtle Sin Of Codependency"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jul 31, 2008

We might assume that Eve wanted to know evil, however, was that her primary motive? It is my opinion that Eve wanted to become “God” so that she could be good, not necessarily so that she could be evil! And that is a subtle thought!

Pride, Lust And More Sin

Contributed by James Kirkland on Apr 4, 2011

The decisions we make in haste brings to the fore front, our pride, and ego that can and will cause sin to over power our better judgement.
