When one leaves one's house on a rainy day without one's umbrella, one ends up getting wet. There is an alternative to the consequences, it is when one ignores the alternative that life becomes less than it would otherwise be.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
We live in a fallen world. Romans 5:12 - Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all have sinned.
If you don't mind an analogy, the designers of a standard automobile designed it to operate within a specific environment, to consume a specific type of fuel, and to be operated in a specific manner. Operating a standard automobile under water, or putting water in the fuel tank, or forcing it to travel at the speed of sound are contrary to the plans of the designer and will result in damage to the automobile.
They are sins because they are contrary to God's plan and will result in damage even if that damage isn't immediately apparent.
King James Bible Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. New Living Translation The time for judging this world has come, when Satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out.
