Bible Question (short): sin is the absence of right behavior? |
Question (full): Lawlessness is sin, that's true but are we to base sin just on the absence of right behavior or not abiding the law? Do we think if we can come up with a comprehensive enough sin list, and avoid all the items on the list, that the effort will make us sinless? |
