In a relationship with the Lord that is True, there is no such thing as privacy and or a private room where evil can be stashed "Away" from His knowing.
Many people appear to get "Away" with many different things in this life in their OWN mind within their said close relationships with family and friends.
There remains a much deeper reality though within a relationship with the Lord which IS based only upon the truth. A truth which goes beyond such thoughts that are assumed are also hidden away from His knowledge in darkness.
I think it's important to revisit the definition of a fugitive (thank you Webster).
Definition of FUGITIVE
1
: running away or intending flight <a fugitive slave> <a fugitive debtor>
2
: moving from place to place : wandering
3
a : being of short durationb : difficult to grasp or retain : elusivec : likely to evaporate, deteriorate, change, fade, or disappear
4
: being of transient interest
It is my opinion the Lord is not as much concerned with a lengthy list of things within a man conscience he alone assumes need to be healed of (change) as much as it is the Lords primary concern that a man (person) remain willing to be "healed" of the smallest trace as to what started the whole corrupt process to begin with.
To thine own self be true is not an entirely truthful expression. Instead it's only a portion of the entire consideration concerning the origin's of truth which was with God since the beginning.
It is one thing to assume a man "Knows" the Lord, yet isn't it an entirely different consideration for a life that's lived while striving to understand the deeper truth that you are "Known" by God?
There are many people that walk the face of the earth content with the thought(s) they've never killed anyone, fornicated nor had an adulterous relationship with someone else in physical terms, yet from within the annuls of their thought life a voice all it's own "Screams" to the contrary.
All such things a man considers are NOT the fullness of all that he does NOT more fully Know about the Lord as well His acceptance of their willful and continued existence. More importantly due to the fact all those considerations have not been more clearly defined by the righteousness (mind) of the Lord.
There is much that has been stored up within a person, yet that person should not enjoy Harboring such a mindset as if a fugitive.
In terms of enmity towards the Lord as well all that He considers to be "Evil", the roots of such run so deep within us that without the saving redemptive character of a helper (Savior), man has zero chance of saving himself from all that he can not fathom.
If a soul does not know they're dis-eased and dying, how could a cure in the form of a Savior find itself of any value that is True (or Real)?
The dis-ease (seed) from which a mans present fallen identity and his current outward expressions stem from.
Matt 15:19-20
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.'"
NIV
The deception and corruption of mankind began with a thought seed that was planted. A seed which was introduced into the same soil Gods thoughts, hands, words and breath then formed into a life that's been given.
Where did mankind go wrong?
He believed a lie to the contrary of what God had already "Said" concerning the definition of mans continued existence beyond what took place within him having Believed such a lie.
Believing is more than a passing thought. Believing is the occurrence where a thought is first given a home (entitlement) where it then gets provided the nutrition needed in order to grow within ones reasoning into an action that's "Taken"
There's an old saying which I'm not exactly sure where it originated, "The criminal is never as sorry as he is the day in which he gets caught and brought to justice"!
Are you harboring the the opinion of a fugitive?
