I don't see people as bad. I agree that their behaviors are at times lacking in goodness, but to me there is a difference. Sin has been defined as an archery term (Greek I think).

I'm wondering if you are a bitter and empty person who has no clue as to whether their life will be judged and how it will stand scrutiny if it is. Actually I'm only wondering about part of that.
Once you understand its symbolic influence, it's possible (likely, even) to embrace it wholeheartedly (as Levayan Satanism does).

Where did you get that definition?
sin (n.)O.E. synn "moral wrongdoing, offense against God, misdeed," from P.Gmc. *sundjo (cf. O.S. sundia, O.Fris. sende, M.Du. sonde, Ger. Sünde "sin, transgression, trespass, offense"
, probably ult. "true" (cf. Goth. sonjis, O.N. sannr "true"
sin (v.)

Iwas referring to the Greek word 'hamartia' used in the New Testament big boy

its not just non-Christians that are sinners, everyone on earth is a sinner. Through Jesus Christ we can be cleansed of our sin however. We are still sinners and will always be sinners but through repenting and belief in Him you can be cleansed of your sin. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23 However because of Christ's ultimate sacrifice we can be saved from our sin. "while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8

Thank you.
Though the ad hominem is not welcome.

No, I get it too. Like it's one thing for them to try to convert us (even though I still find that a bit rude), but it is not right at all to tell people they are sinners. It is just like insulting them, and it is definitely not the way to convert people.
It is disrespectful. But as others have said on this thread I could learn how to be proud to be called a sinner, because at least I'm not stooping to their level.

And you'd probably spit in the face of the doctor that told you you had Aids, too. Why don't you get real? We all sin and you know it. Yes you do. Deep inside you know it's true. Fact is if you're married, I could ask your spouse if you're a sinner! If you're not married, I could probably ask a former flame. I'm not the least bit impressed!
Why thank you!! So glad you could confirm exactly what we've all been talking about.

See the previous line
1) Why would anyone care about impressing you?
2) How do you know what he'd do in that situation?
3) Why are you arguing like "yeah, you do! Yuhuh! You do!"
4) Why do you feel the need to call people sinners?

In YOUR world everyone is a sinner perhaps.
In MY world I am a good and loving person doing the best I can
in largely hostile surroundings..... to be TRUE to MySelf....
while also doing the best I can for those around me.
In my world YOU are a sinner IF that is what YOU choose to be.
It really is not my business to try and convince you otherwise.
If that's what you KNOW you are...
I would only be wasting my time anyway.

Your God created sin just so he could save you from them. Nothing like punishing someone else for what you created. :clap

With posts like this, it's no surprise you have 54 total posts and yet no frubals.
Here's what you don't (won't) get, Know the Truth; the issue isn't whether or not we're all sinners. the issue is; do you have the right to point the finger at someone else and say "sinner".
You're not the doctor.
You're just another sick shmuck like the rest of us. And if you have some obsessive need to point out other people's lack of perfection, it most likely indicates that your disease is more advanced than most.

I think it was mankind who created sin or you could say Satan or satanic desires by humans.
Didn't Jesus say, "There is no such thing as sin but you created it by....."
I would have to say I agree that it is man who decided we were all sinners. When we couldn't understand the various disasters, trials, and suffering we faced in life, we decided we were being punished for something. Eventually this became a cultural understanding and sin became a power button for those who wanted to control. Sadly, many have decided that is what God thinks we are. I wish I could change that for people. Let them know they are just fine and they are loved.
