Sin exaggerates the pleasures of sin while minimizing the true nature and outcome of sin?

Sin is pleasurable for a season...





Heb 11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;





But never tells you it's outcome....





Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.Sin exaggerates the pleasures of sin while minimizing the true nature and outcome of sin?
The self-hatred of the addict following the action of self-indulgence, however, is different from the prickings of conscience just described. It is a horror that numbs and petrifies, rather than remorse that goads to repentance. Self-hatred serves to cement the compulsive cycle in place, rather than to free the victim from it. Victims and their loved ones who view this stage on the compulsive cycle as the guilt that will ensure that the addict ';never does it again'; are mistaken. Their well-meaning intentions to improve the preventative efficacy of guilt by dwelling on and exacerbating the feelings of self-hatred actually contribute to the problem. These feelings are a part of the compulsive cycle. They perpetuate the addiction. It is therefore very important that both behavioral addicts and those who wish to help them learn to identify these feelings and to distinguish them from the righteous guilt that should follow a misguided or destructive action.





In contrast, the soul-shrinking that occurs in the absence or withdrawal of light inevitably has to do with the heart's definition of life: love, and with love, joy and peace. It was John who recognized, as have few in history, that to hate is to be in darkness, and that conversely to love is to walk in the light (see 1 Jn. 2:10-11). ';Your minds in times past have been darkened, because of ... vanity and unbelief';. And vanity and unbelief are both ways of cutting ourselves from love, even from enlightened love of ourselves. The resulting condemnation is diminution of light, which blinds and numbs our capacities for the calm excitement of inspired love, the relish of joy, and the serenity of inner peace. We become, as Nephi told his brothers, ';past feeling';, and ';the love of the Father shall not continue with [us]';. This, as the scripture earlier says, is the equivalent of ';walking in darkness at noonday';, or, more technically, walking in noonday light, but afflicted with a darkness ';that comprehendeth it not';. We literally die a little.





Everything is evil that is not motivated by love and approved by reason. Violence may end in murder but it does not begin there. Usually violence begins quietly in a little bickering; then arguments get louder and resentments accumulate. We sometimes develop a self-centeredness that numbs our reason and destroys our love and happiness.Sin exaggerates the pleasures of sin while minimizing the true nature and outcome of sin?
Could you do us a favour and provide us with an empirical definition of the word ';sin';?


Because if you can't (and I'm not going to hold my breath here) then maybe you should re-visit the whole idea...
(Moses) Chose rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season.'; Hebrews 11:25
Huh?
