FINE. What then, is SIN?

What do you think? What purpose is this stupid question for unless you are going to troll me about "following the law of Moses?" The only sins are those which trespass the law of Christ, not the law of Moses, of which we are free of totally.

We Christians are bound only to this: To love one another. All your Jewish laws and customs which you demand we follow, we are utterly free of.

So what is THAT then? Summa Theologica (Aquinas)? The Big Two Commandments? The Sermon on the Mount? What?

Foolish!

There is one Law. The Law of Moses is the law of Christ; he said so in Matthew 5, and all of his apostles also said so in their epistles.

1John 3:

[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
[5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
[6] Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
[7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1John.5

[1] Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
[2] By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
[3] For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous..


This is how we on Earth can know who is of God: Those that openly hate his Law, and curse those that love his Law, are not of him.
