If someone does a favor for you, and you cannot repay them is it a sin?
[glow=red,2,300]What if you can repay them, but you don't feel that its necessary, isn't that a sin?[/glow]
If you borrow something from someone and lose it, can you replace it or should you tell them the truth?
These might be dumb questions, but I was just wondering. It's just a thought. Thanks.

[b]If someone does a favor for you, and you cannot repay them is it a sin?
i really don't think so. there is nothing that can make it a sin.

i think it wouldn't be but it's wrong to always help and serve and take the blessing of doing something good for some one else.

of course you have to tell him the truth. here you would be makeing a sin of hiding the truth of some one. it's like hiding the truth in may be the court or somthing. you would be still commeting the sin of not saying the truth.
about the last question though, i would tell them the truth and also replace it...
i know that sounds kinda dumb, but think about it
im pretty sure youd all replace it, but we wouldn't ALL tell the truth
coptic servant, i think that the verse you are referring too says that when you lend someone something, dont expect it back..
Yes, that's it MarMar thank you, I really appreciate it!

But, wouldn't it be easier to buy them just the same one and not tell them, cause then they wouldn't trust you.

First, nothing sounds dumb.
Second, i would rather get forgiven and loss the trust (that's if that person is really cold hearted that he wouldn't trust or understand).
if you think about it, if you loss the person's trust, would it be a sin. NO, but when you not saying the truth, YOU ARE SINNING.
Third, You should do what's RIGHT, not what ALL do. if it is that way, why not go do what other people do. or why not go do what other false christans do.
CopticChica21, if someone tells you somthng you know it's not right, don't do it. even if they are doing, IT"S NOT RIGHT.
i dont think we are sinning that way though!!
you should always try to repay your debt, even though it is impossible. if God sees that you are not trying to repay your debt, then yes, i believe it is a sin.
if u cant repay as much as they gave you..that is ok...if u dont try hard enough ..well... i wouldnt say it is a SIN...(sin is a big word)...
