How Do We Open Doors For Sins?

Like I said they come from "feelings" hate is a feeling...right?
If a person hates a person, then that's not a feeling, that's some mental problem.
No Polly now your just trying to play word games...hate is not a mental problem, its a sin.
Hating a person is a mental problem too...
I guess that folks with mental problems can hate, but that's not what we are talking about.
Yeah but there is no way to prove feelings as sins. Feelings are not sins.
What about being jealous at the moment that if for example your wife is talking to another man and the man flirts to her? In the calvary chapel, the pastor said that it's okay to be jealous at that moment. Also, in the Bible it says that God is jealous, so that's why we cannot commit idolatry.
We are created in the image of God. God hates. God is jealous. God gets angry. He doesn't sin. Therefore we also hate, and get jealous (although the jealousy we experience is not very often the pure kind God has), and we get angry, but we are called to not sin in them.
And lust is an extra feeling so people can get married and reproduce.
No it isn't. Lust is a form of sinful thought that we must subdue and control by the power of Holy Spirit within us. It has no place in a courtship or marriage.
Exactly, as I did say we are not to sin in any of these emotions---also, see my last post.
Then how the heck are we able to reproduce then without any freaking sexual feelings or thoughts!!!?
Wait, wait a second. Why am I so annoyed today and why don't I understand anything about sexual things right now? I don't know why it annoys me that people think lust is a sin even though we need to have some feelings and thoughts so we can reproduce. And I thought a wife can lust about his husband.
Polly... *sigh*
