Fornication, iniquity, presumption and self-will are in focus, today. Many of the things accomplished by divinity, provided to mankind, and required of Christian believers have been introduced, not because there was acceptance and understanding of the gifts from GOD, rather, because there was not. Doctrine and sacred law have been given, and inseparable aspects of the divine makeup have been imparted that have not eliminated sin, yet, makes it more possible to correctly recognize and completely resist sin. Sin is contrary to the divine nature within the living, yet, continues to appear as natural and normal until challenged through the operations of GOD. Consider again the following from the Bible, and the points appearing below: Proverbs 20: 9, King James Version (KJV): 9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? Also 1st John 1: 8, KJV: 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Through the Spirit of Christ, mankind is now privileged to acknowledge salvation by his victories over antichrist spirits, death, bad habits, ignorance of divinity, and all manner of unrighteousness: 1st John 4: 4, KJV: 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. A writer at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “Jim” (Level 1 with 62 points, a member since September 25, 2015) posted the following:
What exactly makes a sin willful? Isn't every sin willful?
Update: Can we be forgiven for it?
Update 2: The reason is because i have willfully sinned many times (sexual sin) and I was wondering if god doesn't want to forgive me anymore, I feel as if I don't have a connection with him anymore, I feel empty inside.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that the body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1st Corinthians 6: 15-20, KJV)

“Jim”, perhaps your pastor or one of the mature believers close to you may better serve you, and share with you the personal counseling you seem to be in need of. Meanwhile, I can share these points: Sin opposes the continued existence of divine law, the Law Giver, and all divine order generated and maintained through law. Deliberate and persistent sin is called iniquity (i.e., imbalance; inequality in and violation of covenant) and presumption (i.e., exercising authority that lawfully belongs to another; taking someone’s place without their permission; identity theft). When one sins through ignorance of the law or lack of knowledge regarding sacred customs and practices, they may be forgiven, yet, the blood of atonement still must be applied for their right-standing with GOD to be restored. While sin has not been created by divinity, is no material thing or object having spirit matter, sin may dominate awareness and self-will within created beings and living creatures. Through sin, separation from GOD intended for independence and integrity of being becomes exaggerated and distorted to appear as enmity, rebellion, and self-destruction. In sexual joining, a person risks fornication, where their own spirit is defiled by being joined through their sexual partner to spirits of others who are not physically present. Depression, inner conflict among multiple spirits, and self-contradiction may appear as well as uncharacteristic attitudes, behavior and conduct. Here are some points to consider that may help you avoid further error and spiritual confusion:
(1.) Numbers 25: 29-31, King James Version (KJV): 29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. 30 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31 Because he hat despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
(2.) Proverbs 24: 9, KJV: 9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and a scorner is an abomination to men.
(3.) Proverbs 28: 13, KJV: 13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (4.) Proverbs 25: 28, KJV: 28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
