You're far too hostile for my taste. I'm going to refuse defining anything or discussing this further with you. You asked what sin was. I gave you a list of what God deems as sin. If you're looking for a definition just use Google.
What I've always thought of you.
Ben,
I don't dislike you.
And I'm sorry if this sounds hostile.
I think you're a nice guy, and a good serious Christian, who has a few controversial views... nothing wrong with that.
I've always thought of you as a good guy.
Your approach to THIS discussion has become illogical.
However, what you're embarking on in this thread is extremely illogical,
and you need to come to terms with that, if you want to be considered a reasonable, or biblical person.
You must DEFINE that word you want to discuss.
No one, in any serious debate, anywhere in the world, would take you seriously for 5 seconds, and EVEN SPEAK TO YOU,
if you weren't willing to DEFINE the word you want to discuss.
What you're doing is illogical, and thus absurd.
If you know it's illogical, and you continue... then you're actually moving into the realm of dishonesty.
Why it's logical, biblical, and necessary to define terms, and explain verses:
In previous posts, I've explained everything very very thoroughly.
I've explained why it's both logical, and biblical, to give YOUR meaning and YOUR definition,
and why is it NOT acceptable, logically or biblically, to just toss out verses as a faux explanation, or to refuse to define terms.
I have explained the rationale very very precisely.
I have explained these things rationally, logically, and biblically.
And you still refuse to cooperate with biblical or logical necessities.
You must define the word you wish to discuss.
If you refuse, you are being illogical and unbiblical,
and if you continue, you will have moved from the realm of controversial...
all the way into the realm of dishonest.
