1 | What is sin? How is sin commited? | Rom 14:23 | KcabmI4 | 212955 | ||
Hello Doc Iam being off the net for the past days Iam sorry for taking long to answering of your post to me. You are saying " A doctrine is all that the Scripture has to say about a particular subject." but Iam finding in the dictionary that what it is saying a doctrine is, is being something else. Doctrine (Latin: doctrina) is a codification of beliefs or "a body of teachings" or "instructions", taught principles or positions. Often doctrine specifically connotes a corpus of religious dogma as it is promulgated by a church, Examples of religious doctrines: Christian --- Trinity and virgin birth Roman Catholic --- transubstantiation and immaculate conception Calvinist --- predestination Methodist --- Prevenient Grace Jainism --- Postulation wicipedia dictionary: when you are answering "(1 John 3:4) speaks to the forensic aspect of sin." are you agreeing with what it is saying as being the best way to be defining sin or how we sin? Because even going all the way back to Adam and Eve they were guilty of breaking Gods Law for them not to be eating of the tree. do not all of these words you are listing here give the impression that there are some sins that are being worse for us to be committing than others? When God is saying to us that all sin deserves the same penalty of death? " wicked, evil, iniquitous, crooked, perverse, froward, licentious, godless, immoral," "Each paints a slightly different aspect for us" Gods Blessings on you KcabmI4 |

Hi, Kcabm14... When we speak of doctrine in Christianity we mean the definition that I gave. As a Study Bible Forum, our focus would be deriving all that we can from Scripture about a given topic. There are many subjects that we might seek to understand (e.g., man's nature, God's nature, grace, election, salvation, regeneration, etc.). We'd call those doctrines. You asked, "...are you agreeing..." I would say that 1 John 3:4 is the best way to define sin in its legal sense. It is true that all sin is utterly heinous and warrants judgment (Romans 6:23). Jesus makes a comparison of one sin to another in places like John 19:11; Luke 7:47; 12:47-48, etc. Even the Law distinguishes one sin from another, for it does not advocate a single punishment for all transgressions, but varies the recompense. Clearly, since such passages appear to contradict, we must assume that there is a sense in which all sins are equivalent and another sense in which sins have distinguishing moral characteristics. In Him, Doc |

Hello Doc Thank you for the answering of my questions to you. Iam now understanding the meaning of how you were using doctrins. Iam only hearing it being used in relation to the teachings beleafs of a religion that the people are to follow if they are belonging to that religion. Is it not true that we will all sit before the Judgement Seat? Therefore the only sense we should consider is the legal sense of sin. That is the only sense in which it affects us. There is not a sin that we could commit that will not be attributed to our account legally. This being the ultimate reason Jesus died for us. Paying the debt for our sin. Thanking you again Blessings KcabmI4 |

Hi, Kcabm14... You asked, "Is it not true that we will all sit before the Judgement Seat? (sic)" Only the lost will be judged at the great white throne of judgment (Revelation 20:11-15). Believers will appear before the judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10). I deem the latter to be quite different from the former. You wrote, "Therefore the only sense we should consider is the legal sense of sin. (sic)" If God has graciously given us revealed things to us about this subject, we will want to cherish that gift and understand it as thoroughly as possible (Deuteronomy 29:29). If we ignore portions of Scripture, then we aren't living by every word of God, nor can we be men who rightly divide His word. You wrote, "There is not a sin that we could commit that will not be attributed to our account legally." If you are saved, your every sin is imputed to Christ (Isaiah 53:6; John 1:29; etc.) and His righteousness is imputed to us (2 Corinthians 5:21). In Him, Doc |
