Sin?

Why ask other people whether something is a sin or not? Can people decide whether something is a sin? How do you define sin?

Shouldn't Christians check the Bible to see whether something is a sin?

Main Entry: 1 sin
Pronunciation: 'sin
Function: noun

Etymology: Middle English sinne, from Old English synn; akin to Old High German sunta sin and probably to Latin sont-, sons guilty, est is -- more at IS

1 a : an offense against religious or moral law b : an action that is or is felt to be highly reprehensible <it's a sin to waste food> c : an often serious shortcoming : FAULT

2 a : transgression of the law of God b : a vitiated state of human nature in which the self is estranged from God



Now I'll ask you to list some sins for me... why? Since I can't be bothered to read the whole Bible and make a list.

You asked for a definition of Sin... I was kind enough to look it up for you. Now please return the favor.

Will you accept that the Bible should shead light on what sin is?

Sin is the almighty waste of time incurred by sensible people as they attempt fruitlessly to debate issues with fanatics who are only interested in promulgating their tawdry doctrines.

I think it does... there are lists of things that ARE sins.

There is no definition of the word Love in the dictionary. Or the word The. So why would it need to define Sin?

Do you believe that eating shellfish is a sin?

OK. That's your definition of sin.

So basically you are saying that each person has his own definition of sin?

If you choke to death on the shell, it might go down as suicide😉

If it didn't define sin, then how would a Bible believing Christian know what to do and what not to do?

That's why God made dictionaries... Is there something written in the Bible saying it is a sin to own one of these books?

Well, if you rate the dictionary above the Bible it might go down as idolitary.

No, but being shellfish is rude.
