Don Carson - What Is Sin And How Is It Different From Idolatry?

[aTruster]

Sin does not mean missing the mark. Sin is to miss aim, although our miss aiming means we miss the mark sin does not mean missing the mark.

Cause and effect.

It never ceases to amaze me how these men use scriptural words, but have no idea what the words mean.

I'd love to have a talk with this guy about the meaning of the word God.

this garbage makes me wanna throw up 3 feet of intestines...blind leading the blind is all this is

Sin is violation of YHVH's law. Fortunately the law applies only to Bronze-Age desert nomads. "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law" Romans 3:19 And a very good thing, too, as the law results in more sin. "The law came that sin might ABOUND." Romans 5:20 As I am NOT a Bronze-Age desert dweller, the law has nothing to do with me. Therefore I am without sin. "Where there is no Law, there is no sin." Romans 4:15 The Bible tells me so.

@Imaginefree69 The Law has everything to do with you, if you have been fooled to think you can break God's Law and still be saved, then you will be subject to His Wrath. The Law is not gone Luke 16:17, You are responsible for your deeds 2Corin5:10, Romans 2:6-13. You also have taken Romans 4:15 out of context badly, there was no law before Moses, this is not speaking of Now.

THE RULER OF THIS WORLD IS SATAN!

Lord Jesus said: "the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me." (John 14:30)

[RealityGameWorld]

[visionseeker50]

@RealityGameWorld Too bad so sad

[tjmcbryan]

@RealityGameWorld the ultimate atheist? over inflated sense of self worth much? lol forgive me for taking your ultimate elevated state with such irreverence oh ultimate one lol

[tetralophodon]

is it just me, or does he look like richard dawkins?

[Reformchick]

Yes, Don Carson is the bizarro Richard Dawkins (or vice versa).

[treborn88]

A friend of mine made that very same observation just yesterday!

[gmapostol]

Don, you just try to sound clever. Sin is what the world do and you become a sinner if you are part of them. That is all!!!

[habsfan170]

I would think that someone who has memorized the entire new testament in GREEK is pretty clever.

[Revinius]

gmapostol - your explanation is insufficient

[gmapostol]

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2)

The wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not associate with them. . . . Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. (Ephesians 5:611)

[gmapostol]

Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. (2 Timothy 3:12)

[Revinius]

still insufficient. You can spout Christianese all day but if you do not explain your terms there will be no fruit of them.

[gmapostol]

A man doesnt go to Hell because he is a liar, a cheat, a thief, or a murderer. He goes to Hell because he rejects or neglects Gods remedy for sin. That remedy is the blood of the Lamb of God that was shed on the cross of Calvary.

"He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him -the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day." ( John 12:48)

[Revinius]

You still havent shown us, what you claim to show, which is "what is sin?" You said you were better at phrasing it than the Don, yet over several days all i have heard are unexplained bible passages. Exegete what sin means within those passages and i think a hearer will understand better.

God bless.

@gmapostol  Revelation 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne & Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth & the heaven fled away; & there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small & great, stand before God; & the BOOKS were opened: & another book was opened, which is the book of life: & the dead were JUDGED out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Man will be judged for their sins otherwise there would be no need for the books.

[GBayding]

@gmapostol Rev 21:7, 8 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; & I will be His God & he shall be my son. But the fearful & unbelieving & the abominable & murderers & whoremongers & sorcerers & idolaters & all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire & brimstone: which is the second death. Here the bible clearly highlights why people will end up in the lake of fire. Yes, we need to be saved by Lord Jesus but if we don't get saved we will be judged based on our sins.
