Bible Note: Hi Vintage, No problem, your not stepping on my toes. :-) It's not about us anyway, it's about giving out God's word as accurately as we are able. It doesn't matter what I think, or what you think. We are not here for each others approval. We are only concerned what God thinks and seek His approval. Oh, and there's the Terms of Use we agreed to when we registered to the forum too. We need to be respectful of the Lockman Foundation; our gracious host. And of course, it helps if we try to be cordial toward one another. Something I'm working on, or, I should say, He, is working on. :-) "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth" 2 Tim 2:15 I'm sorry, Vintage, but the statement is not a misrepresentation of the "Word" at all. You're correct in saying that the Bible says, sin is transgression of the law, but the bible also says that rebellion against God is also sin, (Deuteronomy 9:7; Joshua 1:18) Let me please try to explain so you will have a better understanding. To disobey God, and willfully transgress His law is by definition, rebellion. To rebel against someone, (in this case that would God) is to go against their wishes or commandments. That is the definition of rebellion. To put it another way, rebellion means to go against or defy authority. Like breaking or, transgressing the law. I hope this helps. John |
