<DIV>Lance is correct. It is not that you thought of the idea, it is if you keep thinking about it. Any thought can become a sin if you dwell on the idea. If you think of something and then put it out of your mind and do not dwell on it you have removed the temptation to sin.</DIV>

covet your neighbors goods (be it his house, wife, or anything else he owns). As coveting is not a physical action but a mental one (meaning that if you are coveting something you don't necessarily steal it but rather think about having it or wih you had it, etc) your thoughts as well as actions can be sins.</FONT><FONT face=Geneva color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><BR><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF">-layne</FONT><FONT face=Geneva color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><BR><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"> </FONT><FONT face=Geneva color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><BR><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF">In a message dated 7/18/2004 12:58:28 AM Eastern Daylight Time, gcfl-discuss@gcfl.net writes:</FONT><FONT face=Geneva color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><BR><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><BR>Siarlys, if you mean
