Bible Question: That's the question! Sin and sins, with an 's' at the end. There seems to be a difference. I have heard that iniquity is in-born sin. Bible? I agree with your comment on dead works. Well said. Anyone else? In Jesus. |
Bible Answer: Dear me, Apparently, no one could, would, or did answer this question. In case anyone was wondering (but I guess not) I was not talking about singular and plural sin. Sin seems to be in the being, in the heart of man. Sins are the many actions and inactions of man that are not pleasing to God, thus against Him. Iniquity seems to be a judgement of the person, not his actions. Thus, it seems to refer to in-born sin inherited from Adam. Dead works are those things that we do that are not in accord with God's will. Even though they may seem to have some benefit in the perpetrator's eyes, they are selfish in nature, thus sin. Jesus died for our sins and our sin. Though sin is dealt with immediately upon our confession of Christ as Savior, sins are still a part of man until final judgment. Sins will be brought before the Lord, and dealt with at the judgment seat of Christ. |
