Bible Questions Episode 242 (Questions about Sin)

Many in our modern, high-tech world view the Bible as quaint, old-fashioned, or not relevant today. That includes the closely related concepts of absolute truth, right and wrong, as well as “sin” In this episode, we will answer questions that have been submitted over the years to our website (biblequestions.org) about sin. Some of the questions we will consider include: What scripture should I use when trying to show a proclaimed believer that deliberately walking in sin (homosexuality & sex outside marriage) separates them from God's blessings? When I say my prayers I ask for forgiveness of my sins, but I know that some of the sins will be repeated often. Will I go to heaven? Does God judge thoughts in your head as sin, if it's not about lust? Considering it is God that sets people up in power and that there is no mention of voting for government in New Testament scriptures. Does voting show lack of faith and therefore a sin to vote?
