In a word...it looks like: Hypocrisy.

Sin, by its VERY definition is missing the mark. There isn't some list and if you aren't checking the "sin" boxes you aren't sinning. No. Missing the mark is missing the PERFECTION of Christ.

I find it VERY hard to believe that Christ would post LIKE that...in THAT manner...using THAT language...with THOSE phrases to express His sentiments.

And THAT...by definition...is missing the mark.

The Prophet Isaiah was confronted with God's perfect holiness and was undone. It wasn't until he came before the Holy Throne that he realized exactly how sinful he was.

Luckily for most of us, God choose to graciously show us how sinful we are, a little at a time. Hence my statement upstream that the older I get, the more sinful I realize I am. Had He shown me all of my sinfulness at one time I would have no doubt been suicidal.

“But God.....”
