How do you all define a besetting sin? Can a beleiver have besetting sin? I had always said that a beleiver could but something someone at church said the other day has made me think....Be ye perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect.
I guess that I always thought of besetting sin as like my recent Copenhagen habit; something that I struggled with, prayed about, threw away tins, had accountability partners, confessed to my wife, etc. and always failed to conquer for 10 years but the Lord eventually in his time freed me from. And even now I am scared that I might relapse. I think that the reason I had that hard of a struggle was so that I wasn't confused that I somehow had sanctified myself of this sin. Is that how ya'll see it?
