Today, there are many different views and thoughts about just what the term “Sin” means. Just the word alone gives people the Hee-bee-Gee-bees. People do not like to think of themselves as “Sinners.” They say or think, “Well, I’m not that bad. I’ve never killed anyone. If you only knew the good I do...(and so on and so forth).” These statements and sentiments are expressed in attempting to justify themselves in light of the realities of their "sinful" condition. (John 3:19-21, Hebrews 6:1; 9:14).
Sin, as defined in Almighty God’s Word, the Bible, is the transgression and violation of the RIGHTEOUSNESS and PERFECT ABSOLUTES of Almighty God. Sin is also the transgression and violation of the ETERNAL/ Spiritual and Temporal (Time-bound)/ Natural laws and absolutes of Almighty God the Creator, which were established from the foundation of the world and His ETERNAL Person in RIGHTEOUSNESS have ALWAYS been (Acts 15:18; 1 John 3:4)!
In Adam’s fall we sinneth all! (Romans 5:12, 19) We all are imperfect; we all have sinned! That is the bottom line. God’s Holy (perfect) Word states:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). (The word glory refers to the supreme stature of God, His surpassing “weight, worth and wealth,” and His righteous perfection and holy character.)
As it is written, There is none righteous (perfect), no, not one (Rom 3:10).
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one (Job 14:4).
What is man, that he should be clean (pure), and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? (Job 15:14)
David said, "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin (imperfection) did my mother conceive me" (Psalm 51:5).
My friend, it isn’t hard to see. No one in his right mind would ever make such a declaration that he is absolutely perfect and righteous in and by themselves to stand before Almighty God on the Day of Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15). Almighty God’s Word states:
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all (James 2:10).
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (1 John 1:8).
Natural laws and absolutes of Almighty God the Creator, which were established from the foundation of the world and His ETERNAL Person in RIGHTEOUSNESS, have ALWAYS been!
We Are a Broken Egg
My friend, we are like a broken egg. When an egg is smashed and broken, who can put it perfectly back together again? In the beginning, God created us perfect (like a whole, unbroken egg) in Adam, but the transgression of Adam against the eternal spiritual laws (absolutes) and temporal natural laws of Almighty God caused him to die – both spiritually and physically. Thus, because of Adam’s transgression, all who were born in Adam (i.e., the entire human race) were made “broken” sinners (Gen. 3; 2:16-17; Rom. 5:12-19).
It is utterly impossible to perfectly and totally obey the spiritual absolutes and natural laws ordained by Almighty God in our fallen, “broken egg” nature (Rom. 7:15-24; 8:5-8). The best a man (person) can do is to contain the vices and passions of his own heart (conservatism). That in itself certainly does not make one righteous enough to fulfill (satisfy) God’s laws.
What Hope Is There For a Broken Egg?
Almighty God, our RIGHTEOUS Creator, did not forsake His lost creation. He sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to redeem man and to deliver them from their bondage and judgment of sin (their broken eggness/ trespasses).
The Bible states: For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosever (anyone and every one) believeth in him should not perish (will not die) but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh (a broken egg), and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh (Rom 8:3).
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners (broken eggs), Christ died for us (Rom. 5:8).
Who (Christ) was delivered for our offences (broken actions), and was raised again for our justification (Rom. 5:25).
But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
There is great hope to all who look to Almighty God and His Son for deliverance!
Almighty God’s our RIGHTEOUS Creator's great desire is to redeem men and deliver us from the devastating consequences of sin. For all who put their trust in Him through Christ, He will exchange these “broken egg” natures and bodies of ours for new ones that will be completely perfect (1 John 3:1-2). These new, ETERNAL bodies will be capable of enjoying Almighty God as He is in perfect HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS! (1 Cor. 15:42-57)
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption (broken egg-ness) into the glorious liberty (a perfectly complete egg) of the children of God (Romans 8:21).
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption (broken egg-ness); it is raised in incorruption (a perfectly complete egg) (1 Cor. 15:42).
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away (Rev. 21:1).
Almighty God, our RIGHTEOUS Creator has given to all of Adam’s fallen race a wonderful future and deliverance from our “broken egg” humanity. We must choose by our own free will to receive Almighty God’s pardon and the gift of ETERNAL life (Eph. 2:8-9). Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour? He alone can change your “broken egg” life to a perfect one. Trust Him today! You will never be the same!
And he (Jesus) said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God (Luke 18:27).
The Kingdom of heaven is at hand!

Killing 3 babies is a sin...and a crime...
Have you ever thought about doing something no matter how mondaine and not considered God’s will ?
In Massachusetts, the burden of proof for whether or not a person had a “psychotic break” is on the state, not the defendant. And in that trial the state did a pathetic job, used “experts” who were terrible, and completely botched their case. So, it’s not surprising that 11/12 voted for “insanity” rather than criminally guilty. If the one holdout had followed the law (he admitted that the state had not proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt), it would have been 12/12.
Sin is simply not following God’s will.
Sin is any obstacle to Love that exists in the human soul.
If Jesus’s first commandment is to Love God ….
And His second command is to Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Then any obstacle to Love in our soul is a sin.
In my work, I have found that fear is the greatest obstacle to Love, followed closely by guilt. Perfect Love cleanses both from a soul.
The soul knows the difference between right and wrong, even when a person’s conscious awareness does not. For example, abortion activists who have killed their baby still have the wound in their soul, no matter their expressed belief.

Don’t be sin conscious, be Christ consciuos.
In Christ the sin of the whole world including Lindsay Clancy was punished on the cross 2000 years ago. Sin is sin and crime must be dealt with. We are subject to man’s law, but we are not under God’s law but under God’s grace (Rom. 6:14).
