1 | Sin | Rom 5:12 | metamorphisforhim | 164972 | ||
How could we sin really if we didn't know what sin is? Doesn't it say in the bible that sin is not sin until it is known to us?I know that sin is sin when we know it or don't. And I know that Cain Sinned when he killed Abel before the law was put in place. What does that mean? How could it be sin if it wasn't stated as sin? | ||||||
2 | Sin | Rom 5:12 | BradK | 164973 | ||
Hello metamorph, That is a good question. Here are 2 parts to consider. 1. No the Bible doesn't say that sin is not sin until it is known to us. You may be refering to Rom. 7:7? Adam and Eve sinned without the law. They disobeyed what God had explicitly told them in Gen. 2:16-17. (cf. Gen. 3:6) Romans 2:11-12 tells us: "For there is no partiality with God. For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;" 2. The Ten Commandments (the decalog) forms the core of biblical ethics. William Dyrness writes, "This law which was given at Sinai was not so much a new law as an authoritative formulation of already existing instruction (see Gen. 2:2-3 on the sabbath; 9:5 on murder; 26:9-10 on adultery). All of the relations between God and His people are covered." "OT ethics are an expression of the character of God. Remember, Polytheism sets many standards, monotheism sets one. This unity lies behind the centrality of the Ten Commandments in the law and Christ's summation of the law: love God and love you neighbor (Matt. 22:37-40)" [Themes in OT Theology] I hope this helps, BradK |
