Bible Note: You are asking for the biblical definition of sin. I'll paraphrase a little and quote some. The rest is up to you. Nothing "of itself is a sin." GNB Jam 4:17 So then, if we do not do the good we know we should do, we are guilty of sin. It's not what goes in the mouth that is sin. It is what comes out, for what comes out of the mouth is from the heart. However, KJV 1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? I am saved. I smoke. I know it stinks and is harmfull to the body. I also know that smoking will not void what Jesus did on the cross for me, and that his WORD says that there is a time for everything. When it's my time to quit those stinking things; it will happen. Meantime smoking is a sever hinderence to me spiritually, but "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God Rom 3:23." Anyone who says they have not sinned is a Liar and only fools themselves. If you are as I have been, the only way you will get the answers you are looking for is to get into the word for yourself. 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. A topical search on the word sin will answer your question. Some do say that "we are left with our own understanding and interpretation of the Word." If it is truly by the Holy Spirit, it is not "our" interpertation. It is that of the Holy Spirit. George |
