If you were truly born again, then you wouldn't want to sin as much as possible. Did you read what Paul wrote (and I copied)?
Why do you call me Lord but don't do what I say?
You're in a scary place.
Im not talking about sinning up a storm. I'm talking about doing what I want. They are very different things. I don't want to go around killing, stealing, raping, etc.
Most of the time I don't want want to do much of anything at all. Maybe play video games, or eat junk food, or argue about religion on the internet (thanks btw). I don't do bad things just because I will face some sort of punishment for it, I mostly have no desire to do bad things in the first place. Though I will admit, there are some things that the law or other consequences are holding me back from, but those are less things I want to do, and more more I think need to be done, because they should be done, and I'm the one I trust most with doing it.
