Generally, we don't ask for a thesaurus before we offer an answer.
Paul's statement is a short seven words long and just about one of the most succinct concepts in all of Scripture -- EVERYTHING not of faith is sin.
Amazing, isn't it? As blue-duncan said, God only looks with favor upon righteousness and all righteousness comes by and for and through Jesus Christ.
So if you don't understand this short verse, I can live with that. If you don't want to give us your answer for some unknown reason, that's fine by me, too.
But I am a little surprised you've struggled this long with these seven words. You've asked me questions all day and I've tried to answer them. What's the problem with this one?
"Whatsoever is not of faith is sin."
Is Paul correct or incorrect?
It's your tone and manner, E, it strikes me wrong and I don't want to participate in discussions with you of this type.
It's an open forum. We choose whom we wish to discuss with and how.
I really do try not to play gotcha and word games.
I like to discuss with those who try to be honest, explain what they mean, speak for themselves, and not try to find some way to hide a dagger, twist a word, misrepresent someone else's beliefs, or seek to win some kind of debate points.
I sometimes get the feeling we're not in agreement on our preferences for discourse on these fora. That's ok, some like to play it the other way; as I said, we each pick who to discuss with. This just isn't for me.
If so, qué será.
Maybe I don't discuss the way you like to either; I could be reading it entirely wrong; but, I'm not going to be cross-examined by you. Honestly, it's not worth the effort to me, and I don't think it adds much if anything to the discussion.
We'll either find a way in-between or stop discussing. I think we've managed to find a way on several occassions. I sincerely hope we can again.
I'm off to bed now - not planning to oversleep tomorrow.
Sweet dreams to you, and God bless..
