Read help: What is sin? - Help.com

If you don’t have knowledge, you can’t be held accountable. That would be unjust and that is why young children are innocent. But if you know it is wrong and you do it anyway, it counts as sin, and you will always be held accountable no matter what you do, so you may as well fix it the best you can.

All you need do is go to the confessional once a week and all sins will be forgotten.
So go out and have as much fun as you can then go to church once a week.

I think that only applies to some denominations of christians. Sensible believers have to at least regret what they do and try to fix it.

when doing somthing if your heart tells that this is bad then its a sin and if someone keeps doing it then heart stops reports but anyways it reports couple time in beginning and stop when we are used to it. sin will not be forgiven until a true and powerfull intension is made to stop doing it

to Mariam: If you don’t have knowledge to not commit sin, so commit them, won’t you still pay for what you do? In the sense of say you have never been taught not steal and that its wrong, so you take whatever you want. You will still be punished anyway, whether or not you were ignorant of the law.

No, of course not. How would that be fair? I believe God to be perfect in justice.

You may be held accountable by your community - and that is one of the ways people learn right from wrong - but it isn’t sin.

Are the laws written in the bible on sin written for our benefit or gods? If god is perfect in his justice, wouldn’t he have those written down so society could run smoothly? For once those are broken, society must deal with them or descend into chaos. Take all these bankers who have shafted people of their life savings, their pensions, their homes. When they do not have there day of justice and are written as above the law, society feels that injustice and begins a path toward hatred.

I’m sorry, I’m not understanding what you are saying. God’s laws are for our benefit. God doesn’t need us to do anything. What does that have to do with bankers stealing money? They knew they were wrong, so that situation doesn’t apply to people who have no knowledge of sin. Even if they can somehow claim to have no knowledge of right and wrong, they still have been taught professional ethics. Are you claiming that they didn’t know?

A very wise friend of mine once told me he believes there is no right or wrong; there are only actions that have consequences.

I like that. I can’t tell you if I like that because it’s true, or if it’s just because I think it’s a nice way to view the world, an easy, uncomplicated, safe way. But I do like it. There’s a sort of built-in justice system for the world. Be nice to others and they’re more likely to like you, to enjoy your company, and as reward for your kindness you get friends. Be violent, and others are more likely to repay your actions with violence. Lie or hide things in an effort to avoid these consequences of your actions, and you will always be nervous, afraid of others finding out, and unable to let them truly get close to you.

There’s nothing inherently wrong about doing any of those things. Wrong is a concept created by the human mind; it doesn’t have a basis in physical reality. But few people want the consequences of such actions. And that’s why we teach our children not to do them, that’s why we punish individuals who decide to do so-called “wrong” things anyway–it’s to avoid the negative consequences of those actions, whether for victims or perpetrators.

My views have been all over the place on this subject, but that’s where they stand as of now.

I love sins and sinful people! At least they are out of mainstream …

sin is the separation between us and God.

the definition = to miss the mark

what it is = un belief of Gods Word

what it is mistaken for = transgressions(to know better yet still commit the offense), or iniquity( to know it should be done, yet the correct thing is shun)

taken from years of studying the Bible, and referencing Rev. William M. Branham

“the Spirit and the bride say come”
the Spirit of God working through a Christian will cry grace.not condemnation.
in a rare circumstance whene a person has crossed the line grace is no longer available, and judgment is sentenced.

those who try to find fault are not under the influence of the Holy Spirit. But are doing the work of satin. he is the accuser of the bretherin, and needs humans to help do his work. moving under the “influence of the spirit”? yeah, i bet. but what spirit?
Jesus told the spiritual leaders of that day they were of thier father the devil. be careful of who you call father, and of what spirit you follow.

John 10:1-18 we are to be so familiar with Gods voice that we are not deceived.
yet all have fallen short of the glory of God”

and thus, as always we are back at the whole point of every thing

calvery.

are we supposed to judge? yes. in a way.
are we supposed to never judge? this is correct. in a way.

the Bible says “jude not least ye be judged”
it aslo says to judge ye amungst yourselfs, , to test all things, and many other references of testing.

this is confusing to some, but as Jesus said, it is writen to confuse. that way those not predestinated to eternal life will not obtain. otherwise He would have to heal them.

btw
our “target” is Christ.
He commanded “be ye perfect even as I am”
obviously theirs no way as a human to do this, but because He is THE propitiation
“with Him all things are possible”
