What is sin, Mark? Is sinniong not discord with God? It is also not a rebellion against him? Submission is the only “clean” path to sinlessness. Obedience is not conditional. You don’t say I will obey God if he saves me. If you do, that’s not Chrisitanity. Christianity is “thy will be done.”

Sure, but we were talking about the dual nature of Jesus. Sin is by some definitions, rebellion against God. It is also failure to follow God's laws. Without God's Grace, we will all fail. Now, the Catechism speaks to sin being the love of something else being greater than the love for God.

Obedience is not conditional. You don’t say I will obey God if he saves me.

Of course not. God will Judge us based upon our obedience and our imitation of Christ.

Christianity is “thy will be done.”

Correct. But you threw the OT into the mix several posts ago, so I was attempting to get the definitions around the OT and the NT both.
