Sin or not?
  1. abortion
  2. shacking up
  3. drinking
  4. smoking
  5. failure to witness
  6. murder
  7. nihilism

Sin is disobedience to God's will -- as God only explicitly prohibited 5 and 6, those are the only sins on the list. The rest are a matter of interpretation.

This appears to be a non sequitur. The development of a sense of right and wrong (or a knowledge of good and evil) could have been a part of our evolution.
Or we could have evolved, then fallen, etc.

What we have here is not just a non sequitur but a blatant logical fallacy, knowingly perpetrated

The more you guys talk, the more you expose your total ignorance of Spiritual things.
No, only our ignorance of any possible reason for the foolishness of literal inerrancy.

Bull-pucky. Now you're just talking out your backside. Name one thing I, as an unbeliever, cannot understand without being "Saved."

1Cor. 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

It isn't a matter of you not understanding one particular thing, it is that you cannot understand Anything at all, because you are dead in your sins.

As I just said to HITCH "It's foolishness to you" because you are a natural man with all of your natural understanding, anything Spiritual you cannot grasp because, you are not Born Again of the Spirit, ie, Saved.

Careful--you have just effectively denied the faith of almost two billion Christians (including mine) which is a no-no on this forum and not a very friendly thing to do anyway.

You are offended because, I have come speaking the truth, to those who are sitting in The Darkness that they may see the Light and Praise God?

Are you saying this verses is not the truth and therefore is unfriendly to say so?

1Cor. 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Excuse my mistake, you are listed as "Other Religion" therefore, when you list yourself as "Other Religion" you do not qualify as a Christian, also when I made this post below.

The more you guys talk, the more you expose your total ignorance of Spiritual things.

You effectively included yourself in the "You Guys" category, which at the time you entered the conversation there were 3 Atheists and 1 Agnostic to whom I was speaking.

No, only our ignorance of any possible reason for the foolishness of literal inerrancy.

I switched it from "Anglican" to "other religions" because too many people like you in this forum become irritated that I should call myself a Christian when I don't believe in the literal inerrancy of Genesis. (BTW, I don't see anything in that scripture you posted which would require it.) But you are denying the faith of most of the world's Christians whether you include me in that number or not. Like it or not, belief in literal inerrancy is not a requirement for salvation. You are still violating the rules of this forum.
