Re: Symbolic Beliefs and the Reality of God
I thought I might share some of my knowledge about sin with you. First of all, the 613 commandments are the commandments given to the Jewish people. There are 7 commandments that were given to the non-Jews. The definition of a sin is the disobeying of any commandment given from the Creator. The sin that Adam committed was the disobeying of the only commandment given to man. He therefore sinned. Also, on a side note, one of the 10 commandments given on the mountain in the desert is the acceptance of the creator as one. Just for the record, the starter of this thread was wrong. Speaking falsehood was not a sin because there was no commandment not to do it. If you want to be really precise, the first things to sin were the trees. The trees were commanded to give forth wood that tasted like fruit and they disobeyed and gave forth only fruit that tasted like fruit.
