I don't know what point you're trying to get at, if any. But no, sin is never anything but evil. There is no sin that's any worse than any other, or any better than any other. Humans aren't the standard by which good and evil are measured. God is.

If you just mean that people can be fooled into thinking that something sinful is really good, then I agree. That's the game that Satan plays with us all the time, and he's a pro at it. That doesn't change the fact that it is still sinful.

Humans aren't the standard by which good and evil are measured. God is.
But humans think that they are in fact the standard by which good & evil is measured. We do not always know the line between black & white, good & evil. Our eyes are tainted gray or grey by the curse of sin. God is the measure of what is good & what is sin. Things are either good or bad, sin or not, black or white. But we are often blind to this. We will sometimes say that something is good when it is in fact a sin.

Yeah, that's another way of saying what I said in post 57. I still don't get what point you're trying to make?
