A little discomfort?

In a recent discussion, a little word invariably popped up, an uncomfortable word to be sure, a word never heard in board rooms, hospitals, sports arenas, dinner parties, Wall St, and in most cases, a word shunned or ignored in polite society. That three-letter word is Sin.

Saying it does not exist does not make it non-existent. Saying you do not believe it does not make it unbelievable. But saying you have never ‘sinned’ does make you a liar. Ah yes, that little white lie that so encroaches humans. The nightly news report is simply a broadcast of sin if you will.

Shootings. Why? Thefts, corporate or personal. Why? People beat to a pulp in broad daylight. Why?Males in female rest rooms. Why? High speed auto crashes. Why? Politicians hiding their nefarious crafts. Why? The burning of police cars. Why? The killing of pets. Why? The rape of neighbors. Why?

Shall I add a thousand more daily examples that prove this little word is real and personal? Shall I prove further the results of a bad germ grown to a heinous beast? Shall I prove the utter stupidity of people who say ‘sin is made-up,’ or does not exist, if only in the minds of the religious deluded?

Take your bias to the scrapyard, and reason apart from the bane that you call religion. I have said on multiple occasions that ‘pure religion’ is the best of all, where no rational mind would dare challenge.

Not man-made religion, but ‘pure religion,’ that is, to ‘visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.’ No small task here, but a notable pursuit. And here we see the gem of perfection that proves ‘sin’ is real and true.

Stealing penny candy is not only inappropriate, and you may think it is cute, but it falls short of perfection, it is sin. Sin does not need a teacher. But it does have many friends and faces. Courts are a place where sin is adjudicated. Fact. Yet, our little word is not welcome, but it would explain and set right a whole host of misdeeds.

Fortunately, and much to the chagrin of the Pride contingency, there is One who does not tally our defects like an employer looking for reasons to fire, nope, He is a good Boss, one with no guile. But it is a good idea not to sass or backtalk to the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and all the air and water we so daily enjoy.

The lesson of ‘he that is without sin, let him cast the first stone,’ is so rich with practical insight, that we should be so embarrassed to argue otherwise. So saying ‘there is no such thing as sin,’ makes such a person not only blind to common sense, but dense to reality, ie, the daily news.

And by the way, I purposefully left out what is ‘good,’ as this is a separate thing, for One asked: ‘why callest thou me good?’ Two wonderful truths. ‘There are none good, no not any.’ ‘Zacharias was a good man.’ Deal with the ‘sin’ word, and you may get insight with the good thing.

So watch the daily news, and you just may rethink your views on that monarch of books which is above all others.

  1. I don’t remember whether it was skylark or Ark who, just your last post, said sin was an offense against the genocidal Canaanite god, Yahweh. Maybe if an armed robber paid them a visit in the dead of night, those two would get a more factual idea of what sin was.

    Aloof, out of touch atheist snobs make light of sin because they live in places that don’t suffer from all the mayhem, suffering and death that results from sin.

      It’s never ‘personal’ with them. But sin is fact very personal.

      They blame God for men’s wayward acts, but ignore the Fact that God pronounced His creation ‘very good.’ Gee, I wonder what happened.

          You are engaging in a logical fallacy, ad hominem. As ColorStorm points out, you are making yourself look awful, not me.

          Atheists love to point that Christians use their belief in God as some kind of crutch for dealing with life’s harsh realities. Marx, of course, is infamous for referring to religion as the opiate of the masses. But there is a problem with using that sort of argument. It cuts both ways.

          The God of the Bible is holy, holy, holy. He is also All- Powerful, sovereign over us and everything else. We are awed by the holy. We know we are unworthy. So the presence of the holy is intolerable. The presence of the holy makes it impossible for us to believe we are good. We are horrified by the presence of the All-Powerful. In the presence of God, we know that He is sovereign over us, that we have no more control over our lives than He allows us and there is nothing we can do about it.

          Hence your endless ad hominem attacks. Because you are afraid — because you don’t know the love of God, you angrily assault those who proclaim His existence and His love for us.

          The solution is this. Recognize that God loves you. Return his love. There is no fear in love.

        There are two levels of our topic here, and while seemingly contradictory, both are correct.

        There is obviously sin against God, as well as sin against brothers/sisters. ‘Against thee and thee alone have I sinned,’ said David as was already pointed out. (a different economy)

        Yet we have Peter asking: ‘how many times shall I forgive if my brother sins against me?’ Of course we have the 70 x 7 idea. The heart of God shown here is His ultimate patience with us, for how often do we hold a different measure?

        Who can forgive sins but God alone was asked, while we have this binding on earth truth, as revealed in that death of Sapphira and Ananaias for ‘lying to God,’ shown in the seriousness and power of apostolic days.

        Trespasses, faults, sins, are varying degrees of infractions, ie, parking tickets vs. 100mph in a school zone, but in the judicial court of heaven, true, God is the ultimate judge, it would be good idea if we agreed with Him,.

        Thankfully, sin is not imputed when there is no law.

          Belief is not evidence of truth or fact.
          Belief can exist in the complete absence of truth or fact.
          The belief in a flat earth is a good example.
          As is the belief the earth is no more than 10k years old, and the belief the entire planet suffered a global flood or the belief dinosaurs existed / roamed the earth with humans.
          Each of the above beliefs is simply nonsense and all have been refuted by scientific evidence.

          The same applies to the theological doctrine of sin.

          As sin is considered any transgression against divine law, ( sic) ergo Yahweh, for sin to be real the character, Yahweh has to be shown to exist, for one cannot sin against something non-existent.

          To date, no evidence has ever been presented to show Yahweh exists. Therefore, the doctrine of sin is merely a belief.

          We believe in the ‘doctrine’ of sin because it is fact. What do call it when your neighbor steals your car, chickens, or violates your wife? Would that word be more closely aligned with obedience, goodness, or philanthropy?

    Though they don’t call it sin, most of the irreligious gangs out there have their own versions of ‘original sin.’ What they really hate are the concepts of Redemption and Repentance. If you listen to most of them for very long, you pick up the sense that “All of us are sinners, so embrace it and celebrate it” while they think that anyone who acknowledges sin then tries to be a better person is a self-righteous bigot.
