Sins

[Nope]

A comment in another thread made me want to ask this to the Christians on this forum.

What is sin?

Do you sin every day?

Do you believe thoughts can be sins?

Do you think that you have to act on thoughts for them to become sins?

Are some sins worse than others?

Are there some things that you consider sins that most people don't? Are there some things that you don't think are sins that other people do?(Hopefully, those two questions made sense)

Paul said that he was the worst sinner in 1 Timothy 1:15. Do you agree? How could he be the worst sinner?

I found this article on sin and wondered how some of our resident Christians felt about what it says

While I factually know that a certain person has killed thousands of people and some of the motive behind it, when we are talking about sin against God on a heart level, I may have killed tens upon tens of thousands. On the heart level you can kill people multiple times and in multiple ways. On this level, my sin skyrockets into heights I can’t even see. And it goes way beyond just anger and murder. Just try to think about every idle word, every lust, every deed shirked, every opportunity not seized, every person ignored, or even not loved well, every Bible lesson I taught but did not live out, every impulse of greed. There is just no way to calculate the immensity of heart sin. So that serial killer has nothing on me. All I know is that he killed and raped lots of people. That is bad, but it is just a drop in the bucket compared to me. I can’t know his heart level sin. It might be really bad, but I will never know. What I do know, or at least what I know with guilt-searing accuracy, is all the sin that has happened in my heart.

If you are religious, do you agree with this writer? Do you believe that anger against another person is the same thing as raping and killing that same person?
