This is a sort of odd question I just started thinking about the other day after I ate at a restaurant saying that its desserts were "sinfully rich." Should we as Christians just not say anything or should we say something about the word "sin" being used so lightly? I don't think most people really think that eating that slice of "sinfully delicious" (an oxymoron to the Christian) cheescake is a sin, but is it a case of things being permissible but not beneficial?
True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
Well sbc_and _reformed (hey can I call you SAR that's a long bit of typing there [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin[/img]) would you say that their desserts were characterized by iniquity? Because that is what that adjective sinful means (although I suppose their use would be an adverb modifying the verb rich). Did you feel that you were committing gluttony? If so then perhaps their use of sinfully is justified.
