Subject: Lanny, What is your definition of sin? |
Bible Note: Joe, I do believe that you, with the ready help of some well-chosen Scripture, have led us to the heart of the matter -- that is to say, that sin does indeed originate in the heart of man. Unless the heart is cleansed, no amount of lip service, no outward show of piety, no good works or "holy" acts amount to anything but hypocrisy. Christians would be well advised to disembarrass themselves from the notion that in order to sin they must "do" something -- steal, lie, commit adultery, or kill somebody. The sins of the heart that don't necessarily involve any physical action at all are as grievous as any outward "sins of the flesh." Both originate within. --Hank |
