Re: Sin by Definition
I know what sin is, Phat. I wanted to know why I should ask others about myself?

That seems obviously tongue-in-cheek.
I'm wondering why several people are responding as if this were a serious complaint.

I'm here to get the fish in the boat, not to psychoanalyze why he bit.

don't want to know
Your definition is the most sensible I have ever heard. I wonder if people just don't want to know and would rather keep comparing the 'goodies' and the 'baddies'?

Re: speaking for myself
Aren't you mistaking humour for arrogance and it has nothing to do with free will?

Re: Sin by Definition
I'm not sure what your point is? Do I find the definitons compelling?
In what way? Do I agree with the defintions? Or am I compelled to commit sin? Just cut to the chase and say what's on your mind. I'm intriqued!

Re: speaking for myself
Thank the lord. Someone else with a WICKED sense of humour. Is that a sin? Is that why the others don't find it funny? I've not stopped laughing. Oh no, is that being arrogant? I'll surely go to hell.

Re: speaking for myself
So many of the posts here are deadly serious, that they probably didn't notice the intended humor.

Re: speaking for myself
I just find it surprising that my comment would be taken seriously under any circumstances. I don't actually believe in sin as defined but I do have a rebellious nature and it shows.

Re: Sin by Definition
Heinrik
If all people sin, and you get your definitions from people {via the dictionary and the bible} what does that say about the quality of the information on which you base you determination of what is sinful?

Re: Sin by Definition
I don't agree with the definitions and I think neither do you. personally, I define sin as a suppressive ideal.
