What exactly is a SIN ?
405691
any one of the 7 deadly sins, or to disobey any one of the 10 Commandments. And then there is the sin that can't be forgiven, the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit ( which happens after probably a life time of indifference to God). Also, participation in the black arts would be a sin.

"Sin" is an imaginary concept. "The Devil" is an imaginary being. \n\nThat's like asking "Is it funkadelic to dance with Santa Claus?"

a sin is something (a belief or action) that seperates us from God. the Bible, which is Gods word, teaches that people are not reborn and that there is a heaven and a hell. believing otherwise is contradictory to what God has told us, so that would seperate us from him. so yes.

A sin to me is when you hurt, abuse or take advantage of someone in order for personal gain.  Being gay doesn't use or hurt anyone, it's about who you love.  Love is no different, regardless if it's a man/woman, man/man, woman/woman.  \n\nLove between a man and woman is just more common, it doesn't mean it's normal.

Lying (Falsehood)\nIt is the root of all sins.\nAssociating some one or something with the Divinity of God is the greatest of sins and crimes.\nIf Divine laws were man made, then every offended would have been physically punished. but alas no.\nLet all who transgress search his/her soul and seek the path of righteousness.\nIndeed lying is the greatest of sins!

If there is a god, he could do whatever he wants.  \n\nPeople say god can't sin but when you ask what sin is, the usually define it as going against the will of god.\n\nOf course god won't go against his own decisions.  That doesn't mean he won't be an evil bastard.  His will could be to torture you for no reason.  Tough luck for you.  Since his will is what believers define as good, torturing you is good.\n\nIn fact defining "good" as whatever is in god's will makes the word "good" meaningless.  The word "good" shold be defined outside of god's thoughts or action, then we can determine if god is good or not.\n\nOr, to make things much easier, we can realize that god doesn't exist and be done with it.

We sin because we were born in sin and have Adams seed.  When this happens we are considered a sinner.  God does NOT hate the sinner but actually loves them.  He sent his Son to die on the cross to save a person from their sin and restore them into a right relationship with Him.  However, sin is punished and if a person rejects this free gift from God of Jesus they will pay the price for that sin which is eternal seperation from Him.  With acceptance of Jesus and the cleansing of your sin by His blood you are considered sinless in Gods eyes as Jesus paid the price for your sin.  When you do this you can have eternal life with God.  He does not love you more than the sinner He just accepts you back into His presence as Jesus took your sin away.

Why worry about sin at all?  Sin is an outdated concept.  It's much better to just use your own brain and figure out your own place in life.  You're the one who has to live in society.  You're the one who has to deal with family, friends, and other people.  Therefore, you are the one who has to figure out how to present yourself and how you relate to everybody else.\n\nAs far as Jesus' sins go, we know nothing about him.  He never wrote anything and everything written about him was many decades after he died, if he existed at all.

Yes, but what is really the definition of "Sin" anyway ? We all have pet peeves don't we ?

because a sin is "missing the target" whether that be murder or lying

A "sin" is ANY transgression AGAINST The Law, or the Ten Commandments, as it is written. The first three Laws are for God and the remaining seven Laws are for Man...\n\nThe so-called "Seven Deadly Sins" is an invention or fabrication of the RCC since they are not found as such in the Bible. However, for the most part, they do pertain only to the sins against Man, or are temporal in nature.\n\nHave you noticed that the list  you mention does not include sins of idolatry, blasphemy or not consecrating the Sabbath [the seventh day]??\n\nHere's a test: Compare the entries of Exodus 20:1-17 between a Catholic Bible and a KJV Bible; and further, compare it to the Ten Commandments as professed by the RCC in their Catechism books. You will see certain differences between them... But I digress.\n\nTo answer your question, Jesus died for ALL the sins of every repentant sinner who begs for forgiveness and vows to sin no more... as it is written. CAVEAT: Of course, when you sin again then all bets are off!\n\nPeace be with you.

Sure.  Sin is a terrible thing.  The good news is that no matter what it is, if we are repentant and try our best to be obedient and live as God wants us to live, our past sins don't matter.\n\nGod is greater than our sins.  You have to trust that in order to let it go.  He doesn't forgive us because we deserve it, He forgives us because He is so great and He promises to.  Believe Him, and forgive yourself.  \n\nDon't be discouraged.  Just keep working on being at peace with God and yourself.  You do that by doing what He wants you to do to the best of your ability.  We all sin and fall short (present tense) of the glory of God.  But He offers us salvation.  \n\nConcentrate on all His blessings.  Read His Word.  Pray to Him and tell Him all your heart.  He will heal you.\n\nThere is no sin we could ever commit and repent of that is  greater than God's forgiveness.

Sure.\n\n"Weakness" is a state of frailty or being weak, while "Sin" is the act of transgressing against The Law...\n\nPeace be with you.

This is interesting because Christians say that you have to repent and sin no more, but then they call everyone a sinner. In fact it says in their bible that anyone who says they have no sin is a liar. Therefore according to them everyone keeps sinning. So then what is the difference between say adultery or homosexuality or lying or any other so-called sin when Christ supposedly died for sin? Do you see the great problem? It's absurd. It is only accepted by people because they don't have the capacity to think deeply enough to discover how serious the problem is. If they could actually comprehend the magnitude of the problem they would no longer support the doctrine of the cross. For two millennia the churches have gotten away with an absurd doctrine.

A sin is any act against the Word and Will of God.\n\nedit note... if you are not of The True Christian Faith you need not be concerned with sin... the concept dose not apply to you... it applies to those of God... it is a misconception that sin will keep someone from Heaven... What will keep most out of Heaven is rejecting God( not coming to Him in The Way he proscribes)\n\nI accept email questions concerning The True Christian Faith.  1 honest question receives 1 honest answer to the best of my ability.
