WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SIN

I was reading through the article and it seems that the reason sin has lost its use is because it's overly simple gramaticly. Sin is basicly going against the Devine, well, what if we want to be more specific? What if what we thought was sinful turned out to be a more complicated issue? Language evolves and becomes contextual.

Sin is simple.

Hey MD,
How could oversimplifying something be bad?

Well, I think it's more a trapping of the English language. So the article compares a sin (an act against God's law or commandments) either more complex issued such as sexuality, gender identity. Musunderstandings, etc

I think it's more a legalistic approach instead of applying critical thinking skills to what we can read from the Bible.

As every man has been given a conscience, I fail to see your point?
How can something so simple be construed as complex?
Can you supply an example?

It is sinful to reject God, a society persecuted Christians. A pastor who hides their faith from authorities is acting as if he is ashamed of God (a Sin), but he does it to keep spreading the word to people to build up a church and sway the hearts of many.

If all sin is paid by the wage of death, then the pastor is guilty no matter how many he saves or how much he can strengthen the church.
