Sin. What a joke. What is sin?
As far as I can figure out it's simply not obeying god's rules about something.
Us. Not him. God doesn't have to follow god's rules. God can do something without it being a sin that humans can't do without it being a sin.
So if we kill, that's a sin. God can kill all he wants.
Now not killing people is a good idea. I can get behind labeling that bad. But what about all the other sins? Taking god's name in vain? Lusting in your heart? Being envious?
Envy is just a human emotion. It's neither good nor bad. Hurting someone to get what they have is a bad reaction to being envious. However, using envy as motivation to focus your thoughts and actions to obtaining the same sort of life is commendable.
God is referred to in Scripture as jealous, and jealousy is referred to in Scripture as sin.
Ignoring the Sabbath is a sin?
This never seemed that logical to me back when I did believe. It doesn't seem that logical to me now.
I suppose it all works in a culty, guilt inducing, self-esteem destroying means of controlling someone. Sinful little peons. Get on your knees and beg sky daddy for forgiveness.
Po-thetic.
