We do not sin in seclusion

"We do not sin in seclusion. Our disobedience always involves others. For we can not live in disobedient and it not show." Major Greg Simmonds

"We do not sin in seclusion."
So if I'm secluded in a little box, and think of myself as God, I don't sin?

"We do not sin in seclusion."

The quote means that when ever we sin it effects others around us, family, neighbours, and even strangers who hear or see us sin.

We are not in a box. We are in a world of shoulder to shoulder people and so even when we think that our actions and words are unseen by others, we need to keep in mind that sin in our lives grows and if unconfessed will show its ugly head again when we least expect it. Our attitude toward all sin changes softens the longer we remain in sin. Sin in our lives may well cause others to stumble as well.

As some one has said when we backslide we take many with us but when we come back to God we bring just ourselves.

I see your point and understand the context now. However, it still can't be justified around the fact that he stated falsely that "We do not sin in seclusion." lol, that's just rediculous. If he meant something else than what he so bluntly stated, then he should have said what he really meant instead of saying something that's a fallacy to our theology.
