A sign of the fallen nature?

I see how most people I know have self destructive tendencies,and actually PRAISE the thing that harms them, and find the thing that can help them restrictive. Examples--{especially on my mothers side,including my mother},}a leaning towards overeating,and the wrong foods at that!!Like when they talk on the phone or even in person,talking about, how eating foods high in cholesterol,calories, etc,is so wonderful,and "knocking" the nutritious foods.And they talk about how they "can't wait" to shovel down the unhealthy foods.In others,the "craving", their "savior" in hard times is cigarettes.In a tense situation,out comes the cigarette.Even coffee is not the best thing for you, caffeine makes you jittery, and even gives palpitations.But who do you know who doesn't drink several cups of coffee every morning?{I don't} Or it could be {fill in}. Now the question I have is, what's the actual cause of craving harmful things? I say, it's the fallen nature,comes from the flesh Does that sound right,that self destructive tendencies come from the flesh?

In the meantime, no one answered whether cravings for harmful things is a sign of the fallen nature.

Lol, we aren't really supposed to look at sins of others, we are to see passed others sins and love them without waiver, without conditions! I love you my brother! Be at peace in Jesus!

We aren't really supposed to look for or seek signs either but the signs do present themselves. Did you know that there is a sign in the moon? Have you ever looked into a full moon? Isn't it an image of the Sun? Some signs have always been there as Jesus said the kingdom of Heaven cometh not with observation. Why? Isn't it because it is or was already there or here?

Be at peace my brother for Jesus has you and I in His hand

Not asking why someone does something, out of curiosity, is going a little overboard,almost legalistic.Also, I don't know if cravings for harmful things are sin, or just weakness.If we're too timid to notice other people,why tell them the need for a Savior, and to say the SINNERS prayer. We would gloss over it and tell them everything is alright.Can't be too much of an ostrich.

 

[The Encourager]

Let's Pray: God, I ask You in Jesus name, that You will become my greatest delight and Your Word my greatest treasure. God all that I have asked of You in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and Ms. Linda. God please forever honor this prayer request over our lives. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

Some of the things we think or might think are sin are not sin at all. Drinking coffee isn't a sin to everyone. Eating different foods isn't sin for everyone. There are only 2 things we as Gentile Christians are to refrain from and that is fornication and idolatry to do well as Christians. Truth is we are all born in sin because of one man's disobedience against God when Adam ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and there is a place called Hell where everyone is going who doesn't accept Jesus and His teachings for His salvation plan. We should desire to share Jesus and His Word with people because that is one of His instructions and we should want to please Jesus in our observance and obedience of Him. We aren't instructed to point out others sins because they might not be sins at all for that person but we are to share what we learn in the Bible. Some of God's instructions might sound like He is asking us to put our heads in the sand yet they are freeing and they allow us to see His plans a little better, a little clearer and they increase our faith. Not thinking about our lives allows us to think more about Jesus and more about our brothers and sisters, it is freeing and it is more so like pulling our heads out of the sands of our own personal lives and personal thoughts

What can you get done while singing praises and thanks to Jesus? Some people listen to music while they sleep, drive, wash their cars, clean their house etc

Good point. One of the things that is learned from the Bible is self-control. Not only in what we see and how we carry ourselves but surely in how we eat right?

Yeah but if work is up your butt it's hard to have time for anything else. But at least you gave me a straight answer.
