[QUOTE="Albion, post: 68107884, member: 93831"] There's another point that may deserve mention here. People who want to reject such ideas as a God who punishes as well as rewards, who holds anything that men do against them if it's a 'victimless' action or seems minor, or who cannot accept the thought that God cares about our misdeeds so long as we are loving and charitable towards our neighbor...tend to think in terms of sin being like murder or adultery. That's why we often hear "I haven't done anything wrong." BUT in fact, "sin" is a falling short of the mark. It's a failing. It's anything that doesn't match up to God's ideal. In that sense, even what seem like minor and harmless actions can still be sins by definition. Even if God is not going to burn us in oil forever for doing them. Really. The question here didn't include any gray areas or qualifications so.... [/QUOTE]
