And what are you talking about, sin = unbelief?
My point was, every time a christian tells you guys that we aren't under old testament law, you quote that particular scripture, proving you don't even have basic understanding of what Christianity is.
As for sin = unbelief:
Quote:John 3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Quote:John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Quote:Jude 1:5
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Quote:Hebrews 11:6*emphasis mine*
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is (exists), and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Sin is not an action, it is a state of mind.
For instance murder is not sin, it is an attribute of sin, by committing murder, it shows that you don't believe in God, THAT is what makes you a sinner (unbeliever).
After all, a thief doesn't steal if he knows for a fact he will get caught.
In fact the word "repent" in the new testament is translated from the greek word "Metanoeo" which means "to change one's mind".
