Lets look at some of the typical beliefs of sin you stated.....''#3 Sin is an unloving 'action''....''Christians can still 'behave' unlovingly''.....''Scripture uses the term sin to refer to something harmful we 'do' to another human being''.....''You can count sins against yourself''........''trying to make a Christian aware of their harmful 'behavior''!......... These are well thought out but typical answers that most "Christians" in the world and even those with no church affiliation would likely say the same thing. Mass consciousness would say the same so it really is the underlying belief of all! And partially because "sin" on earth is considered an error against another person.<br /><br />Per our relationship with God, judgment has come in the form of Jesus/the word of God which has judged us as perfect in his eyes!... Yet a persons heart intention that justifies or condemns, can personally override the truth from Jesus!<br /><br />What is intended from ones heart ''at'' someone, determines the error! Sin is from the mind/heart....for whatever reason doesn't really matter! The first time sin was used in the Bible was not in the Garden of Eden! It was at Genesis..4:7...."sin" was at the "door" (of Cains heart....against his brother) for his brothers offering being favored. It doesn't really matter what the "sin" was for.....if was an intention of the heart against another! In this case his brother. Sin has always been an evil intention against another. Jesus said sin was first on the inside not the outside. Clean the inside and the outside takes care of itself! Most times sin is an evil/judgment one creates in mind & holds against oneself! Love doesn't ''hold against''....Love allows and flows. If we ''hold aught against'' our brothers and sisters we block the pure love of God. Then comes sickness, disease, evil, hurt, pain etc.!<br /><br />Self judgment by a son of God, is ''wrong thinking''...''error of thinking'' that a wrong thing or ''sin'' has been done! If so ask forgiveness...or forgive! We are blocking Gods power in our lives by holding aught or anger or resentment or anything "against" others in our hearts...in my opinion! This is personally seeking (causing) death, by blocking life! Judging oneself as a ''sinner'' or having ''sinned'' or living in ''sin'' today is tantamount to blocking out the love of God and denying Jesus Christ and His gift of sinless perfection unto God! There is no condemnation in Christ or from Christ so any condemnation one feels.... is being put on himself, by himself or he is self-condemning for ''whatever'' things he believes he has done in sin/error! Could we be living (or dying) in our own "life defying'' self judgment? Denying perfect love/life and self-condemning to death? Sin is an attitude or belief from the heart that should be eradicated by Jesus truth....and then nonexistent!!! IMO Blessings to all!Michael Reyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415153325107878247noreply@blogger.com
