[QUOTE="Mark Quayle, post: 75797740, member: 410020"] This is a false notion. Sin is the ONLY thing that truly hurts God (bruised his heel). Sin is a horror that God does not make us to understand, lest we be undone, I think. It is cosmic treason. I think of it as something that would tear reality, if God wasn't above even that. God is altogether, thoroughly, precisely, just, and will set everything back right, but for now, this is the state he is willing to go through for the sake of those for whom he chose to have mercy. He doesn't decide this is and that isn't sin, capriciously; sin is what it is because it opposes God. It pretends the maker of life is irrelevant, or a liar, and that must be dealt with by death.
