The topic of 'What is sin' is something that I have been pondering for myself. I had taken some time off and must have missed that particular post. I will have to go back and try to hunt it down.

| Posted 12/7/2001 7:06 AM (GMT -6) | | Mr. I, My email address is in my profile, but don't try to send it through the board, because it won't work. You have to copy the email address to your own mail service and send it from there. I'd love to see anything you have on it.
Ok, you just edited that out!  I'm going to leave this here anyway...
Thanks,
Semeia

I went back and read the "Sin is not the same as Evil" Essay. A month or two ago, something much like that occured to me.Here are som thoughts on Good and Evil:
· God is life
· Anything outside of God is Death
· Good and Evil are abstract ideas pointing to Life and Death.
· Good did not come before evil for they are both simply mans fleshly way to interpret what is of God and what is not. They are signs pointing in the directions of Life and Death.
· Good and Evil cannot be viewed as entities in and of themselves, but instead concepts.
· You can look at them as two children birthed by God with one purpose in mind...Choice. The Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil were both required in the garden to give us free will. Neither represents a destination, but instead the path that we choose to take to get to a destination.
·Deeds are not Good or Evil, but the heart behind them is what gives them their Good or Evil quality. Have you noticed how at times throughout the OT, deeds that were considered sinful and definitely broke the Law were used in such a way that they glorified God?
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Philippians 2.3-4
