Amen,
Amen,
Sin is the action; result, which we are born within. Only He who is to come can forgive sinners. He came not to forgive sinners, neither to condemn from Judgement as we are born sinners.. Only through Christ sent by the Light of who was in The Beginning to serve as Witness in Faith and through that Light we are without sin.

Amen. Feel Free to ask and I shall show you Faith. Anything done in Faith is boars no sin.

Hey All,
John defined this way VictorMedvil.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Transgression - the violation of a law or known principle
Keep walking everybody.
May God bless,
Taz

- Sin is "missing the mark" of God's will and way.
"Hebrew Word: חַטָּאת
Transliteration: ḥaṭṭā
Phonetic Pronunciation: khat-taw-aw'
a primitive root; properly to miss; hence (figurative and general) to sin; by inferrance to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, (causative) lead astray, condemn :- bear the blame, cleanse, commit [sin], by fault, harm he hath done, loss, miss, (make) offend (-er), offer for sin, purge, purify (self), make reconciliation, (cause, make) sin (-ful, -ness), trespass.
Hebrew Word: חַטָּאָה
Transliteration: chaṭṭâʾâh
Phonetic Pronunciation: khat-taw-aw'
Part of Speech: n f
or chatta'th, khat-tawth'; from <H2398> (chata'); an offence (sometimes habitual sinfulness), and its penalty, occasion, sacrifice, or expiation; also (concrete) an offender :- punishment (of sin), purifying (-fication for sin), sin (-ner, offering)."
(Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.)
- Sin is willfully giving offense to God, rebelling against Him, or violating His Law in one's thoughts, attitudes, words, or actions. (Genesis 6:5-7; Psalm 51:4; Jeremiah 18:11-12; Matthew 5:27-28; 1 John 3:4)
- Sin is acting in contravention of one's conscience (i.e. "faith": Romans 14:22-23)
- Sin is knowing to do good and refusing to do it. (James 4:17)
Why do you ask about definitions of sin?

Hello VictorMedvil.
The Bible defines sin two ways,
1) By the law:
sin is the transgression of the law.
1Jn.3:4 KJV
2) By conscience:
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
Jas.4:17 ESV

In Hebrew, the word for sin means "missing the obejctive", specifically missing the destination of your journey, either you intentionally deviate from your course or you unintentionally get lost. Sin is usually divided into seven interwoven categories commonly known as the seven deadly sins - Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, Wrath, of which pride is the biggest and the original sin, this is the kind of sin that rejects God's way and exalts yourself as God, all other sins are stemmed from pride.
Keep in mind though, that the conception of seven deadly sins is NOT a doctrine as though there were no other sins we need to worry about, it's just a teaching tool to help us understand what is sin.

The real question is, does sin exist? People don't believe sin exist anymore, most believe in God, many believe in Jesus as the only way to God, but very few believe the sinful nature of mankind. The thing is, if there's no sin, then there's no need for Christ who died for our sin. As Jesus himself said: "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick."

What is sin? One word: Pride. I don't do what I should do, I do what I want to do; I don't do it the right way, I do it my way. There is no god, I'm god, I don't listen to anybody but myself. This kind of attitude is sin. Not some certain behaviors, but attitude.

Things noted that defile a person.
But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’
Such bad fruit is found in the unrighteous who are still slaves to sin and don't know Jesus. Repentance is a good start in having a new heart for believing and receiving Christ Jesus. Those that love to do evil have a hard heart and are unable to see with their eyes, hear with their ears and accept and believe in the truth.
By your fruit one is recognized.
“No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; 44for each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.
Love does no harm to a neighbor and fulfills all the law.
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”[a] and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b] 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Many will refer to the scholastically achieving definitions: as for me, i would refer to the common knowledge of low estate defining of such as what a mere carpenter, or fisherman, or tent-maker might define sin as; namely these:
Sin= the voluntary departure from the morality prescribed by God: but sin must needs referred to at the same time with "Repent", which is its opposite, namely= the voluntary return to the morality prescribed by God.
Sin is also described by the Word of God as "whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23) and "he that knoweth to good and doeth it not, to him it is sin" (James 4:17) and "sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4) and "all unrighteousness is sin" (1 John 5:17)
The chief indicator for sin is when any suggestion or any offer of an alternative to what God says is made; just as the serpent beguiled Eve through the subtilty an alternative to what God said.

Hey All,
I gave my definition of sin in an earlier post lastofall. But you got me thinking. Name an occupation and then name what a sin would be for it.
"Many will refer to the scholastically achieving definitions: as for me, i would refer to the common knowledge of low estate defining of such as what a mere carpenter, or fisherman, or tent-maker might define sin as; namely these:"
Profession - Sin
Carpenter - not measuring before cutting
Fisherman - fishing with holes in your net
Tentmaker - using a dull needle
Pharisee - following Jesus
Sadducees - being happy
You get the idea. Name some other professions and a sin related to them.
Keep walking everybody.
May God bless,
Taz

Sin is the breaking of the 10 Commandments per 1 John 3:4.
We know Jesus was 100% sinless because He created (Jn. 1:3), taught (Matt. 5:19-20; 23:1-3) and obeyed the 10 Commandments (John 15:10).
We can verify this by the record of His closest followers obeying the 10 Commandments after His death on the Cross. (Luke 23:54-56) They understood perfectly what He expected of Christians and the fact that we have John reiterating the definition of sin in 1 Jn. 3:4, we know that Christians are expected to follow Christ's example in obedience to the 10 Commandments.
God bless.
Hey All,
When do we break the 10 commandments F345T?
No question Jesus was perfect. He set the goal.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
That is what I strive for. But in the flesh, I will never reach it. I do believe that my new creature has been cleaned from all unrighteousness. But that doesn't always stop my flesh from sinning.
Notice in 1 John 2:1, John is addressing believers. "My little children . . ."
If anyone could write the formula for being perfect, It would be second only to the Bible in sales.
How do I stop myself from an impure thought?
You can have one in the twinkling of an eye. Once it happens I am no longer perfect.
That is the sin. Long before I ever act on the thought, even if I can stop the action, I still have sinned. Adultery is a sin. Jesus said that to look upon a woman with lust is commiting adultery. What man hasn't done that? That is how most relationships start in our society.
I try to do the best I can. And I like to believe I have gotten better as I have matured in Christ. But I have not reached sinless perfection. I made a mistake earlier today in which I had to ask forgiveness. Somebody took something I wrote the wrong way. It was totally my fault. It was also completely unintended. But I made it.
As I have said before in other posts, I believe God allows us to keep our sin nature for His purposes. We, as believers, have experienced the Agape love of God. That is His grace toward us. Agape is unachievable in the flesh. But, as believers, when we forgive others, we get a brief taste of what Agape is. It is the ultimate proof we are abiding in Christ.
Anyway, I have rambled enough.
Keep walking everybody.
May God bless,
Taz
Nobody has to obey them perfectly, Jesus did that for us. His Spirit lives within us if we are True Christians and enables and inspires us to obey, just as He did, all 10 Commandments. When we stumble, James 3:2 covers that. We get up, dust ourselves, confess, ask forgiveness and repent and resume the walk. We are to walk and live just as Jesus did if we profess to belong to Him. (1 Jn. 2:6)
Which one of the 10 Commandments is so impossible to obey, Josef? Most likely, if you're a sincere Christian, you are already obeying 9 of the Commandments on a daily basis. There is one that almost all Christians are taught is bad and yucky, but that isn't true at all.
Let's discuss.

I pretty much agree with all the above, in which people are saying that sin is an action against God's moral will. I would like to add one more usage of the word: in Rom 7:14 the apostle Paul writes, "For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin." In this case, he is using the term "sin" as a principle in operation in people, whereby they are unable to fully comply with God's moral will all the time. In other words, no one is perfect (except for Jesus, who committed no sin - Heb. 4:15).
