Judgment is dangerous when it is unfounded because as you judge you will be judged. Even in that case it isn't sin per se, but it is ill advised.
When you don't know something is wrong and yet it is wrong and you do it it is still sin. Though I suppose your point is that if you know something is sin and do it its worse than sinning because you don't understand?
What you wrote where several different ways of expressing covetousness. Covetousness is a sin and something to be gotten rid of, I hope you at least agree to that?
This is why you focus your wants on good things. If you have an issue with covetousness then it is a problem that needs to be addressed, not something to shrug off and say 'well everyone does it'.
I would be quite entertained to have you properly explain what exactly you think that is and what its implications are. I expect I'd find your explication either in agreement with my view or wind up being entirely scriptural.
I expect you're using that term because many Christians use it, but you have not actually thought out the details of any particular doctrine.
You seen to have no intention of understanding our point of view do you? This question isn't relevant to the discussion.
What an odd statement.
I tell them that they should not continue to sin, and that if they have a problem with sin they should develop a plan to end that problem. I do not hold their hand and tell them it is okay to sin because everyone does it and they can't do any better.
No one has done such a thing. It would be interesting to see where you get that idea. This simply seems like another demonstration of your unwillingness to have a decent conversation.
Certainly I can honestly say it. I gave you part of why the difference is so vast. Re-asserting your question without adding evidence doesn't accomplish anything.
Sin is ugly, and those who want to say, overtly or implicate, that its acceptable to sin because they can do no better are promoting that ugliness.
Rather than be complacent in sin it is best to overcome it and get rid of it. It is a part of the Christian walk, and it is foolish to say that it is not.
