What are Sins?

Answer A A "sin" is a religious construct intended to convey the unacceptability of certain behaviors to those who subscribe to the tenets of the particular religion. An…swer B What Sin is to some religions are 'Character Faults' to others. Example of Character Faults are; covetuousness, envy, jealosy, harming others, spreading lies, materialism, thievery, egoism, etc. Answer C 3 SINS of the body; 1. Murder, 2. Theft, 3. Adultery. 4 SINS of Speech; 1. Lying, 2. Slander, 3. Abuse, 4. Idle Talk. 3 SINS of the Mind; 1.Covetousness, 2. Hatred, 3.Ignorance.. Answer D A sin is a transgression of the religion commands or the religion laws. The sin is an act or saying of disobedience, intentionally or ignorantly, to God commands and God will. Muslims believe that God, the All-Merciful and the All-Forgiving, allowed his followers to repent when committing a sin. To repent you should admit that you committed a sin, then you should intend not to commit it again, return the rights or the apology to whom is affected by the sin (if any), then you ask God (Allah) for forgiveness. The biggest sin in Islam is setting partners in worship with God (Allah). Quran says (meaning English translation): { Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin. (48) } [Quran, chapter 4, verse 48] . Quran says also: { Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers. (72) } [Quran, chapter 4, verse 72] Answer: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for SIN IS the transgression of the law ." (I John 3:4) Sin is the breaking of the Ten Commandments. As Paul says: "...I had not known sin, but BY the law: for I had not known LUST , except the law had said , THOU SHALT NOT COVET ." (Rom.7:7) SIN is NOT OBEYING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS . SIN is LAWLESSNESS ... disobedience to God's laws . (MORE)

Why is there sin?

"Sin" refers to acts which a faith community has deemed to beoffenses against God, as that faith community understands God. Actswhich are considered sins in some faiths may no…t be considered sinsin other faiths. (Please note that this question invites frequentedits and changes. Ultimately, your own spiritual adviser will bethe best source of information.) With respect, what follows is one person's explanation of Christiandoctrine. A number of religions (Judaism among them) do not believein the doctrine of Original Sin or that "all people are innatelysinful." There is sin because in the beginning God told Adam and Eve not toeat from the tree of Knowledge and they did. This was the first sincommitted. People are born naturally sinful because we have freewill and free will gives us the chance to sin and since we listento our head and not what God tells our hearts, we sin. That was very accurate, but there's a bit more. Adam and Evedid not decide just among themselves that they were going to eat ofthe forbidden tree, but Satan, the first fallen angel, took theform of a serpent and planted a seed of doubt in Eve's mind and shetold Adam who took the reins and they sinned together. All people are innately sinful, but unlike Satan, we have completefree will, as angels (the fallen ones are demons) cannot be saved,for, as far as I know, angels were not created in God's image asonly mankind was. Since all humanity is rotten to the core, as the sin of Adam wasnot just his, but he was a representative for all of us, as wewould have done the same thing, probably sooner than he did. Why?He was the smartest man alive as he was able to name all of theanimals with ease. As man began to have more and more children, theaffect of our sin nature has crippled us more and more with usbeing the most ignorant and least intelligent people of all time. Previous people were able to build pyramids, not just in Egypt,with not too much difficulty, as well as the enigmatic Stonehengethat still puzzles us, as their minds were so unbelievably moreintelligent than we are, regardless of how many people try tochisel away at the mysteries with our machines and technology, asthere still countless mysteries that even a lifetime of researchmay not uncover. ---------- Sin is knowingly acting contrary to what you know, or have reasonto believe, is true. Ignorantly doing something bad is still atransgression and has consequences but does not corrupt yourcharacter. (MORE)

How do we sin?

We sin by doing bad things like swearing , stealing, killing etc. ANOTHER ANSWER: First of all, the term " sin " needs to be defined in orderfor us to know WHAT SIN IS. B…ut it's God who has to define it forus, since you'll get a different answer from every person you askas to what sin is. We need to go to the place in the Bible where it says " SINIS ..." and then see what follows, to see what God reveals it tobe. This is found in John's first letter -- I John 3:4 : "... SIN IS the TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW " !!! But because there are " so many laws " recorded in theBible... many of the hundreds of deceived denominations of modernprofessing Christianity simplify things by " doing away with allof God's laws in their doctrinal beliefs ," calling God's Laws ABURDEN [virtually the CAUSE of all of man's woes]. Thus, byteaching this, they DO AWAY WITH SIN ALTOGETHER in their minds andhearts. They then, subsequently, lay what would have been theirburden to bear and lay them all on Jesus' shoulders, thus removingfrom themselves any responsibility regarding sin. Fortunately, Paul breaks it down for God's church [ those whoread and believe what the Bible says ] through his writings tothe Gentile believers in Rome as to just WHICH SPECIFIC LAWtransgressed constitutes SIN. Paul loved to play the "devil'sadvocate," prompting some of his listeners to reason things outlogically: " What shall we say then? IS THE LAW SIN? ..."(Rom.7:7). So, of course, many modern denominations of Satan-deceived modernprofessing Christianity shout out a resounding " YES, YES...THE LAW IS SIN! " But Paul answers his own questiontruthfully: "... GOD FORBID! Nay, I had not KNOWN SIN, but BY THE LAW : for I had not known LUST ,except THE LAW had said, 'THOU SHALT NOTCOVET ! " (same verse) Of all the many charges, laws, statutes and ordinances recorded inGod's Word, the Bible, which law says " Thou shalt notcovet?" Of course, the LAW in question is the TEN COMMANDMENTS.It's these LAWS THAT DEFINE WHAT SIN IS! Therefore, it's the transgression [ or BREAKING ] of the TenCommandments that constitutes " sin ." Thus, the first answeris correct as far as it went. While " swearing " isn'taddressed literally in the Commandments, " using God'sBlessed, Holy, Sacred, Hallowed Name in a casual, callous or vainmanner " falls into the general category of" swearing ." But it's a person's specific and deliberatedisrespect for and toward our Creator and His very Name that EARNSUS THE PENALTY OF DEATH right along with the other ninetransgressions. But, that's HOW WE SIN. We sin by breaking God's Ten Commandments.We worship gods that are not gods at all. We give little or nothought or regard to God or His Sacred Name. We ignore and rejectCREATION [ we fail to REMEMBER the LORD's hallowed Sabbathday ], and teach EVOLUTION [ creation without a Creator ]in its place. We disrespect our parents and loved ones. We murder,steal, lie and lust both against and toward one another. The Ten Commandments of God... the LAWS OF GOD... are His Lawsthat, when obeyed, BRING LOVE TO FRUITION. True Love is directedAWAY FROM THE SELF, TOWARD OTHERS. Human nature is SELFISH and REBELLIOUS TO AUTHORITY... anyauthority, whether it's God's Laws or man's. And the TenCommandments go against human nature. They " rub us the wrongway ." Human nature says, " Don't tell me how to live mylife ." " This is my life. Don't try to tell me what todo ." And it's our natural " love of the self " [ selfishness ]that HATES GOD'S LAW. Our selfish love isn't love at all, becauseTRUE LOVE FLOWS OUTWARD TOWARD AND THROUGH OTHERS... like apowerful river current: "He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, OUT OF HISBELLY SHALL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER. (But this spake He of theSpirit, which THEY THAT BELIEVE ON HIM SHOULD RECEIVE: for the HolySpirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yetGlorified.)" (John 7:38-39) The bottom line is, MANKIND SINS BY NOT LOVING ONE ANOTHER,SELFLESSLY... [ as the Ten Commandments instruct God's Childrento do... and which parents throughout the generations are chargedby God to teach to their children - Deut.6:7 ]... with the sameSelfless Love revealed to the world by Christ! "This is My Commandment [ the singular MEANING OF THE TENCOMMANDMENTS ], that YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVEDYOU. Greater Love hath NO MAN than this, that a man LAY DOWN HISLIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. Ye are My friends, IF YE DO WHATSOEVER ICOMMAND YOU." (John 15:12-14 It's a global problem... and the REASON WHY THE WORLD IS THE WAY ITIS. There is PRECIOUS LITTLE LOVE IN IT! MANKIND SINS THROUGH HIS FAILURE TO LOVE HIS FELLOW MAN WITHTHE PRINCIPLES OF THE SELFLESS LAW OF GOD'S LOVE IN HISCONSCIOUSNESS AND HIS HEART! "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: FEAR GOD,and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: for this IS THE WHOLE DUTY OFMAN. For God shall bring every work into Judgment, withwith every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it beevil ." (Eccle.12:13-14) (MORE)
